A Ride To New Places

As you can see from the log, I worked on this song barely this week and did practically all of my work on Sunday, which makes me lazy because I usually don’t want to spend my entire sunday up against the deadline mixing (even though this song desperately needs the production and performance improvements).

Tues. May 3, 20:40 - 21:50. Doing some initial song planning. Chords, structure, etc.
Some issues with how my synths are set up, MIDI being sent to all channels simultaneously and it’s making a mess.
Classic vi - I - V - IV progression in key of F#m (capo 2nd fret).
Thur. 20:30 - 21:00. More noodling around. Not really sure what I want to do to this song, but I think I want to build a bit more of a groove than normal.
Sun. 11:30 - 12:45. I have a bit of catching up to do, there’s no melodies or structures laid down and I have to submit a song today.
Some things to keep in mind based on comments from previous weeks:
* More guitar shaping
* More crazy drums
* Play some bass
* Watch my pick technique, my attacks on the guitar are not very clean
14:30 - 16:45. Get the structure down, minimally mix it, oops there’s a lot of stuff wrong with this song but I have other things I have to do with my day and I can’t replace the slightly-off beat bass parts.
Total time: 5h 10m, which is similar to other weeks. This kind of goes to show that it takes me about 5 hours to half-ass a song, but if I don’t do 3 hours in one day, the song ends up being substantially less lazy than if I do it all in a single sitting.
