Here is another snippet of the song I've been working on.

The bass and guitar are played by yours truly. They are DI into Amplitube5, with some additional compression and EQ. The organ and strings are programmed with zero humanization. I'll record those with a MIDI controller after I'm done with the guitars (still in progress). The drums are the same as I shared previously.

Making music - trying to cover a song with some stretched-out fretting (3-7th fret)... and it's hard keeping the G string ringing.
I blew off recording last week, and it feels like I may blow it off again.
I don't know whether I should just find something easy to play.
I often try stuff that's hard for me, and do a version with many mistakes, rather than play something easier, with fewer mistakes.

Usually, I go the other way around - writing lyrics to already existing melodies and chords. Switching it up for the project I'm working on is a nice change of pace. Plus, working individual notes to make them fit onto each syllable is its own kind of micromanaging mini-game.

Hey there, any #VoiceOver peeps know how to configure a #UniversalAudio Solo/Arrow interface to record my #VO in a #Logic session with a client directing me on a video call? I’ve tried all the videos and articles about routing and virtual channels in #Console but in a recent Meets call, Meets just hijacked my audio so it was really quiet in Logic. Don’t know what I’m doing wrong. If you could explain it like I’m a baby that would be awesome. Don’t wanna use Loopback.

Ok another question for the linux recording crew: What plugin are you you using to map your edrum kits? From what I'm reading EZDrummer seems popular, piping through wine and some other app. Seems kinda nuts there's not a decent native way to do this. Is this really the best solution available? Please note - I'm highly particular about sound quality, as I'm used to working with Addictive Drums and the like. Square robo beats ain't gonna cut it.

treachery 2.0

Sometime around ~1991 i made this song:

I got a wild hair up my ass and am re-recording it now. It’s something i half-heartedly started working on many years ago, but didn’t really feel that version was quite up to snuff. Here’s what the new version is starting to sound like:

I’ve still got some work to do (adding guitars and sound effects, for example), but i like where it’s going so far.

Edit 25 February 2025: added a guitar part & did some stuff. Still working on it!

Oh i also made this cool splash screen image for Reaper too.

I’m watching, from across the Atlantic, old friends struggling with a new reality. My heart aches for those who did not choose and do not wish to enter a new dark ages.

it’s rough and unprofessional, recorded at my desk with a phone, but some #music to express the sadness. Lyrics humbly taken and adapted from Emma Lazurus. The New Collusus
