The Process

Ok, so I know I really should have some songs posted by now. There are 3 new songs and rough recordings of them but they are being held captive within my laptop in man-cave studios (aka my living room).

This situation is the result of utilizing different technology into my song creation and recording process. Before now, I did all my tracking on Digital Multitrack recorders, such as the Boss BR1180, and before that (many moons ago) on a little tape tascam four track (the little blue one).

I have admittedly resisted Protools as a recording solution for a few different reasons throughout the years. Long story short, I bought a used laptop and it came with Protools installed. I've discovered I do like the functionalities it offers, and have been working my way through the learning curves. It is a time investment (the learning) for future song creation.

But this can come at a price of course. And that is losing current inspiration, by switching gears and not being creative or playing the song but instead trouble shooting. There have been plenty of articles on this modern day recording dilemma in places like TapeOp magazine, etc, but I thought I'd share. Music coming soon, stay tuned.
