Hooray!! Back for another round! So excited. 
I unfortunately didn't release any solo stuff in 2019 after wb2018 - hopefully something on the docket soon though. One major task last year was building out a beefy new production PC for both audio and video. It took longer than I originally hoped, but by November I was migrating files, installing programs, and as the year closed, installing all my VSTs and configuring my DAWs. Fresh copy of FLStudio v20.6 installed (and Ableton 10.1 which I hope to actually write a song in this year), all my plugins are the latest versions, custom presets copied over and ready to go, plus a handful I really didn't get to use much. Some of which I'm starting to play around with on this track. Whew! I am ready, 2020, let's do this!
As for the track, the second half definitely needs a lot more fine-tuning with levels and dialing in the right frequencies to get the drums and guitars and acid-ish synth to mesh well, but so it goes. Definite possibilities to flesh this out later for a full-lengther I've been hoping to write for a few years now. I'm hoping to use a lot of the energy with WB2020 to drive toward that goal, actually. Also curious to see how many folks also pick the same title, hah.
Anyway... Whee. Excited to hear what everyone else has and gonna try to comment on more posts throughout the year! I'm gonna stick to my personal challenge of making a short Instagram video clip for each weeklybeats song. Similar exercise to keep my video editing chops up, though if it's a little longer than a week that's OK, I'll get all 52 done. Adding to that (which yes, is crazy), is an intent to make nice VJ Clip for the song/bpm so I have those as samples to pull from when I play live again. If you're interested in glitch art, chromatic aberration, what videos I concoct for some of these wb snippets, you can follow me there too: instagram.com/royb0t/ . But yeah, gonna be a good year, I feel it.
51 weeks to go, folks - no sweat! :]
