Halloween weekend

Been working on my new songs in between being a Halloween dad with a lot of yard work to do.

I love Logic Pro. I have my studio set up so that my key instruments are set up and ready to go. I had a chance to slap down a quick drum performance on 2 of my new tracks. The bass, acoustic guitar, and electric guitar are on stands, ready to play. The Roland keyboard is connected and set up right next to the desk, where one small Macintosh controls it all. Things are in place for me to strike while the iron is hot and get a capture a song idea very quickly.

The beauty of Logic Pro is how much I can change the sounds later. The Uncertainty Principle has a strange keyboard sound that I can easily change later. Life Is In A Minor has a quicky 2 track drum track that I will upgrade to a 4 mic performance later. I am happy with the kick drum sound I am getting. I can adjust and improve the drum mikes at my leisure, which is cool. Leaving everything set up is a major improvement over how I used to do it. I'm very lucky to have the space to do this.

You can hear these by clicking the "Latest mixes of new songs" link over on the right.

Geez, what a sad set of ballads. The Terrible Trio I vow to begin 3 more recordings that are peppy-er, with more pig and pepper.
