No, this isn’t about the Gear section on the About Page. Quit your whining!
I have been working on Somewhere in Dreamworld off and on for about 5 years (almost 6). In that time frame, I have added songs, removed songs, changed lyrics, changed music, etc… Well, it’s finally at the point of perfection where I’m ready to release it, so now I have to focus on re-recording it for the 6th time.
In order to make sure all of the songs flow well together, and to make sure I have all of the parts of each song perfected, I created one, big Pro Tools session. In this giant session, I mapped out the time signatures, tempos, and lengths between songs. Then, I had to record “scratch tracks” (sloppy guitar, bass, drums, and keyboard parts that will be deleted later) for each song, to make sure everything sounds good and works well.
Well, I am pleased to announce that last night, I finished recording the scratch tracks for bass and drums! Since I was already finished with guitars and keys, that means Somewhere in Dreamworld is ready to record! Hooray! I’ll start with guitars, but it will take me a few days to get the sounds I want. Maybe I’ll put up a video of me trying to remember how to play my own songs, haha! It shall be great-tastic!
