Song :: Dark

I sat on this song a long time.
Made real progress for a month, and then sat on it for awhile.

Today, I am forcing myself to be done with this and move on.
I think I was getting to micro-focused on parts of this song.

There is a lot of stuff in this song, that I like, and a few thing that I wish I could do again. oh well, right?

I could not get the sounds dialed in fully for what I wanted at the end of the song. The last little melody that starts on a string patch, and moves to a combination of sounds.

Song :: Still Not Satisfried

This is a song of happy accidents again.

Also one, that started with a whole bunch of steam, and kind of petered out. I have started my usual process of sitting on a song, so I am releasing it today, just to be done with it.

So, was trying to find an effective means of practicing a muted thumb technique on the bass guitar, and the bass line came from that. The chords came next. When I began to put this into ableton, the melody elements was the first accident. Saving the file was the second. The percussion bits were the third. All of these in a row.

Drums I feel needed more work. I am not happy with the sounds, but again I need to stop sitting on songs.

The guitar parts were all played straight into Ableton through my PreSonus interface. I have had the 22VSL for some time now and I have been happy with it. Especially its portability. That has come in handy quite a few times.
