do I have a choice?
MONDAY 4/13/2020 3:30 PM-I don't THINK I have a choice--I have to buy a Bass guitar, I can't lay down a keyboard bass part I can live with...and *I* feel as though I need to add something to the basic metronomic "drum" track--cymbals, fills,etc. Maybe I should lay down the piano track first after all...
9:05PM--It turns out I can control the touch sensitivity of the keyboard…In other words, the harder I hit the key the louder the sound that it makes will be, kinda like a real piano…I’d like to think that this will make building my own drum tracks a whole lot easier…
TUESDAY 4/14/2020 11:32 AM--finally finally FINALLY got the keyboard track down...maybe switiching from piano to organ made a difference...I think I'm done for the day, but who knows? I may be wrong but if I feel like laying down at least some of the drum track, I just might try...after my nap but before Dinner...we'll see...or I can wait until tomorrow...
4:20 PM--when it comes to the 1180 Lab, I'm re-learning as I go...for instance, I just re-learned NOT to turn up the master volume of the keyboard...the sounds come out somewhat distorted...the only thing I got done is an organ track (that needs to be done again) AND I put the keyboard where the 1180 was and the 1180 where the keyboard was...I think it will make a BIG difference, once I get used to it...
5:15 PM--I'm thinking of buying a Bass through AMAZON...fully aware that you get what you pay for there are some inexpensive basses on their site...Like I've said before, IF I'm gonna get a $1200 check from the Gov't I'll pay off my TWO credit cards and give Dianne the rest of it, about $400 bucks...In what *I* felt was a subtle way, I suggested to the FHB that they permanently replace ME with a guy who, in addition to being a better guitarist, is WAY more tech savvy...Somebody (Barnaby?) wants to somehow do a cyber open mic...*I* dunno why and I'm not really interested in participating...I told Dianne I was planning to buy a Bass...the idea didn't thrill her in the least...
WEDNESDAY 4/15/2020 10:42 AM--I don't feel like doing any "lab work" today, not yet anyway...maybe after my nap...
4:34 PM--it feels like a mistake, but I went to the 1180 Lab...it took about an hour to lay down a new organ track and the first of two drum tracks...making mistakes is very frustrating and makes me tired...maybe (MAYBE) I'll do cymbals tomorrow...
THURSDAY 4/16/2020 8AM--but don't bet on it...
4:52 PM--My brain picks the strangest times to wanna do stuff...I've had all day to go to the Lab, and I didn't...but now I kinda want to...sheesh...
7:10 PM--and now I'm tired or sleepy or something...just like most nights, after Dinner...and by 9:00 or so I'll probably have a second wind, whether I want one or not...
FRIDAY 11AM--so I went to the 1180 Lab and laid down a guitar part...kinda surprised I remembered how to adjust the various parameters of the particular patch I was using...I wanted CHORUS and I got it...I got interrupted, but at least I accomplished a little bit of something...I was gonna start a new recording, but I really feel like I need to get a Bass guitar first and finish this original composition, whatever it may be called...
2 PM-I laid down an electric guitar track… I also kinda performed my first punch in;
