On Recording and Related Matters

I have decided to become better acquainted with some of my older recording gear. I have a need for more than 16 tracks so a good old fashion sub mix and bounce was required. It worked like a treat though. The next step is vocals. You can edit but everything is done with the time code and you ears for cutting and pasting, rather than on screen (no pretty waveforms). It works a treat but just requires a little more forethought as I haven’t worked that way for a while. I had to do this because I was just 3 tracks short for the vocals which I had not planned for properly. I think I need to take a little more time over some of the material now perhaps?
Sometimes whilst keeping plowing on it is possible to lose sight of the goal because of being so immersed in the process . So when the muse kicks in again I will get back on the case with the track.

I have just managed to write some lyrics for the new number, that I hope will work. In a day or to it might be ready.

The last appearance of the full Delta Ladies’ line up at Walthamstow Folk Cub in 2019.

As I expect you know: “The feast day of Easter was first a pagan holiday of renewal and rebirth. Honored in the early spring, it praised the pagan goddess of fertility and spring known as ‘Ostara’, ‘Eastre’ or ‘Eostre’.”

Artistic Burnout Time

Sometime I wonder what I should be doing, but I just keep on keeping on as best I can. Stopping is not an option, especially so at the moment. My head is a haunted house right now. My dreams are really strange too. Full of people I used know but havent seen for quite a while.
They are disturbing too. So I wake up a little troubled and perturbed. Also I feel there is something I have forgotten to do but I can’t figure out quite what it is. I get a lot of that these days too.

World of woo

I guess we are just filling in time to push the fear to the back of our minds, or perhaps that’s just me. I would really like to get a bit more light in my music as its got very dark and sad over time. I am not too sure what I could do about achieving that. Maybe it needs an infusion of dancing rhythms? I am looking but just not finding it right now. Indeed. Anyway I have to keep marching on regardless. So I do.

Persistence at times like this is everything.

Not So Happy Fridays

Ouch, I have had some unexpected emergency dental work done. I feel like I have been in a fight. Ouch again. Teeth are sneaky, you think they are fine then suddenly and randomly something happens. Out of nowhere. So I am feeling a bit sorry for myself as in bruised and battered but pleased that I managed to get treatment quickly. It’s been a rough day though.
It seems harder to get over these things as time goes by. I also got soaked on the way to the appointment as well so other aches and pains as well.

So no creative stuff today really. I have watched a lot of YouTube to distract myself and absent mindedly picking out stuff on guitar. I found a spark of an idea lurking though even so. And I wrote stuff down just in case.
