Hey, lookit that. I've already done most of this. Still haven't figured out how to work that stupid USB MIDI interface, but I did that "Elegy for Industry" track, which was one of my better songs, and I've turned in a couple of entries since then that now rank with my best material. And now I'm working on my album, with an eye towards having it available before September.Generic wrote:QotD: Though I've lost certain key tools in my recording process (most notably, access to a real piano), I own several pieces of equipment that I still have yet to use. I do believe that if I learn to use all of the equipment and instruments that I already have on hand, I could write and record a series of genuinely competitive Songfight titles rivaling my current best work. Therefore, it is my long-term (by April) goal to be record a good song (at least as good as, say, my "Say the Word"), then repeat the process until I can reliably reproduce it.
Phase one, which I'll commence on Monday with the intention of finishing before the following weekend, will be rehabilitating the neglected Windows partition of my hard drive. This will probably entail wiping the hard drive and reinstalling only recording software. Depending on how smoothly this goes, I'll then try to install my USB MIDI Controller and figure out how it works.
If all goes well, phase one should culminate in a song called "Elegy for Industry," which will hopefully be ready in time for the fight.
There's a lot of "if" coming off that plan, but I'm doing something, at any rate.
