I'm waiting for the schnoodle to come home before I head off to work. Work is going well, it seems like a great place to work. Hopefully they'll hire me on permanently at some point. The hours haven't even been that big of an adjustment as it was so close to the ones I was keeping anyway.
The music is fun, I'm slowly figuring out this recording thing. It's a funny deal though, every error gets exposed so much in recording. I make way too many of them and have way too little patience to go back and correct them. But I'm getting better at that even. On the latest I made some nice strides in that regard. However in the end I got tired and just threw it out. The vocals were getting worse each time. I should have just did them a different day, but fatigue won.
The biggest thing I'm focused on with the recording is trying to find ways for the sound to be OK on small media like PC speakers and head phones. The sound is so different from one to the other. The higher frequencies jump out where before they were buried. For some reason vocals and lead guitar seem to jump out and you lose the bass guitar and rhythm guitars in contrast. So I've been trying to figure out how to counter that effect. It does make a worse recording on the stereo and car though. I've recently learned that in the real world they have several mixes they release to the different media. There will be a radio mix, and ITunes mix, a CD mix etc. So somehow little ole me is suppose to deal with that. I just want to write songs.
Time to go.
