Cleaning the Blackboard or Scratching the Fleas?
One of the first answers today was to erase the events that happened to my parents on February 6 1958, my birth. That didn’t last very long though, a blink in the eye of time, because let’s face it, I enjoy being here most of the time.
Maybe I would go with the assassination of John F. Kennedy. I have often wondered what history would look like if he hadn’t been shot. I have a strong dislike for the events following his death and believe LBJ screwed the pooch as well as America.
I’m keeping these answers in my lifeline so the third choice would probably be the internet. Even though it has been useful and helped the world in many ways I think it has accelerated the downfall of society. I mean yeah, I can find out what Kim Lee made for supper in Shanghai last night or what Peppy Morgan dislikes about blood pudding but is this trade off worth what I am doing in my life right now?
Damn Skippy it is, which brings me to why I am writing this post.
Welcome to another update of my journey with AI.
Good morning. I wasn’t planning on doing the daily prompt but plans are like the wind, changing on a moments notice. Yesterday found me laying tracks down all day. I recorded one song repeatedly filling up one side of a reel 2 1/2 times, (about 85 minutes per side or roughly 70 takes) and still am at the starting line with it. It is 3:04 long and after seven hours the day was finished with two takes I liked enough to transfer to my DAW today and see if I can keep any parts of them in editing.
Editing is nothing like when I did my books, way more technical and challenging to me. The two takes I kept might leave me with less than 1 minute of the track I can use for the final outcome.. I am feeling more comfortable with singing and even have been finding my groove so to speak. The problem? keeping my vocals in the same pitch or range. I tend to change octaves quite often and although less than before I still get out of tune easily. 😁
The good news, I am feeling relaxed in knowing I’m finding my range in vocals as well as the distance I need to be from the mic so as not to overpower the music or be so far away as it sounds like I’m not in the same room as the music. I’ve also found that breaks are needed throughout the day. If I don’t take a break my vocal chords start feeling scratchy and I don’t want to over do it. So it goes that 1 – this is way more complicated than I thought it would be and 2 – the rain is both tears of joy and regret as I step into the void and try to fulfill my goal.
Happy Wednesday to you all and may the sounds of success fill your world with fuzzy thoughts as I try to learn my DAW this morning before jumping back into the rhythm of practice makes…more practice.
