alright week 10
I've kinda got something mostly recorded already
and partially I feel like I'm not prepared to record the kind of vocals this track wants so that's kinda holding me back
but I feel like, I've got a lot of creative energy, I just want to put it into playing with other people
I did daily songs for three months last year, so now I've written over a hundred songs in just over a year
so I dunno, I want to be the kind of person who sees through the things they commit to but ghhhghghh

edit: ok fine I recorded vocals

Uploaded song 7 today. I work weekends and take my kids out to Pokemon TCG tournaments after so I can't let myself get stuck in the Sunday rush to upload by 5pm local time, won't happen. Two things have helped me keep up:

1. I've been diligent about doing a little bit every day
2. Some of my songs are re-works of songs I wrote while doing daily songs last year so I have a starting point, which is often the biggest hurdle (blank canvas effect)

Thanks for all your perspectives!
I'm a bit surprised to so far to find that the schedule is really working for me. I work full time but my schedule is pretty unusual. I haven't kept exactly to my schedule, but very close, and it's definitely been enough of a guideline to keep me honest about achieving SOMETHING in regards to my week's song every day.

This week I didn't start recording by Tuesday, but the song is fully composed so I'm ready to dive in today - my day off - once I get my room set back up.

Way too much stuff.

DAW is Digital Performer, but I wind up tracking a lot of things to 4-track cassette or a handheld recorder first then transferring them over for logistical reasons.

Current instruments that I'm focusing on include my Fender EOB strat, small eurorack modular system focused on sound processing, harpsichord, Sub37, ukelele. We'll see what I wind up using. I'm blessed and privileged to have access to a large palette from which I can draw.

The main deal is a notebook and pen, because I'm focusing on lyric songwriting.

2016 was a pretty weak year for me, I'm gunning for 52 this year!

I've always wanted to hear Sleepytime Gorilla Museum cover Devo, and vice versa.

My process (in terms of sequence of events at least) is variable from week to week, but I am holding myself to doing all the recording in 4-track mode on my Zoom H4n, which has already been enlightening to say the least.
