My day as planned

I am down at the warehouse with all my gear setup to try to record. I have all the computers going.

1- This one to check email as the day goes along
2- The Macintosh next to this one to start scanning pictures for the CD I am working on for the reunion
3- The Mac on my desk to print out the lyrics for the song I just finished. I need to check phrasing on one line but it seems to be basically done.

I'll post more as the day goes along. I'm real tired, didn't get enough sleep last night, but I think that will actually help with the recording process. Being a little cranky always helps me play.

Amazed I am

I am amazed that, as a writer, that I can sit down and write the chords that I want. In a matter of minutes. My hands just went where they were supposed to.

Weird

an hour and a half later

After fiddling with the new song for awhile, I sat down and recorded a guitar track.

The Woman I Want
First take I didnt allow enough room between lines twoard the end of each chorus so I had to go back and do another take. I don't hear anything wrong with that take but I figger once I start into working with other people I will redo it. So far so good though

Hmmm

Hey Dad is kicking my butt. I think I will have to do a guide track and then put down the guitar and vocal following that. This has too many stop and starts to be able to plan out like this. I keep wanting to play ahead of where the vocal is, so I keep losing my place.

I'll do a quick guide and then move onto something else. I want a couple good guitar tracks by the end of the day here.
