some work done, finally...

i finally did some work today- got two vocal parts for rekkerd number 3 done. i now have a tape full of four different vocal parts that need to have reverb from the stairwell added. there's still room on them for more. i also wrote and started to record a new song this weekend. i also did a sort of recorded improvised song as well that i just kind of fucked around a bit and made up and then did a recording pass after kind of trying to find that right delay and distortion settings and stuff. it's pretty sweet. i actually haven't listened to it at all- so maybe it isn't...
we didn't go to see ghost to falco last night- we opted to stay home instead. the money i was going to spend to go to the show and buy one of his new records i would've had to take from my savings and i wasn't too keen on doing that. i really did want to go though- quite a bummer... i flipped a coin twice and both time it told me not to go. i also realised that it could mean that i'd have to wait through another full pay cycle to send off the ep to be duplicated- which i am planning on doing with the next paycheck come hell or high water.
i would like to do some more work tonight- i have a song where the left channel of the loop went dead for a while so i was going to see if i could spend some time to get it fixed properly- it might be a kind of involved process. i'd have to re-record the left channel of the loop on a new input and get it synced up with the right channel. the challenge- it would have to be perfectly in sync. this could take a long time dependent on how long the gaps are. another problem- the song where this happened is an extra track that has little chance of ending up on the finished record, so it makes it difficult to bother with putting all of that pain in the ass time in. shit it makes it difficult to bother to sing the vocals ten times, but i've promised myself that i will give every song that i wrote and started to record for this record a fair shake and the attention that it deserves to be fully completed before being cast aside. the idea behind this being that hopefully there will be enough extra tracks of high enough quality to make up a distinctive and cohesive ep that's different enough from the record to release. i wanted to do the secret double ep thing again too- four or five hidden tracks.
