My last two tracks were finished on Friday and I got to enjoy a panic-free weekend, so that was awesome.  Hope to continue that trend.

I think the only way I'm going to be able to make this work consistently with my schedule, especially after my seasonal freelance work kicks in late next month, is going to be doing everything completely OTB on my old portastudio.

So from here on out that's how it's going to be - a C-20 (so 5 minutes or 10 minutes maximum depending on what speed I use) all year, no computer at all other than digitizing the mixdown and normalizing, and only one tape so every week I'll be recording over the previous week. Without those limits I just spend too much time overdubbing and fussing with the mix.  Since the closest thing I have to a formal goal with this is to work faster and commit sooner, that should be a big help.
