Glad to see I'm not the only one who failed miserably at the first hurdle. It started off well, had a nice 16 bar drum loop going on then succumbed to an acute case of loopitis. Had too many ideas and realised it would take too long to create.On Thursday I decided to just smoke some green and improvise over the loop, listened back and it sounded awesome. Woke up next day listened back and it sounded awful. I was too busy over the weekend to edit or try again.

Re: Personal Goals Beyond Writing 52 Tracks In 52 Weeks (60 replies, posted in General Discussion)
Funny thing is I was planning on doing a track a week this year. This site has given me that extra bit of motivation to actually do it. Think a lot of us have the same problem,start a track get too many ideas, lose focus then move onto something else, going round in circles.

Roland d110, Yamaha rx7, Cheetah md16, Zoom 1204, Kawai q80, Alesis mmt8, Emu esi4000( collecting dust in a corner), Roland vs890, a crappy midi controller keyboard. Some square paper, coloured pens, tons of music theory, hands like an octopus and a whole lot of weed.
I also got a Jx10 which I can make sing like an angel or scream like a devil, but it needs repaired and my skinny ass is super-broke so it is also collecting dust (maybe fixable in a few months). I dont even have enough midi or signal cables to connect more than 2 or 3 devices simultaneously.
Expect some demonic shredding of whatever jazz chords I have learned in that particular week.
