what happens next, and when?



               SATURDAY 4/11/2020 9:16 AM--I kinda wanna go downstairs and work in the 1180 Lab...I dunno if there's a "best" time to work down there...I think I can record ALL the various parts (except vocals, if there would be any) w/o anybody hearing anything...as opposed to doing a youTube video...
       I feel as though I need to come up with a title...FLASH-I found the Manual!!! I was half-heartedly looking for it...might go downstairs now, just do a teeny bit at a time...actually re-thinking the chord progression, probably should rehearse the piano part a lot before I record it...
12:20PM--I think the "verse" is ok as is, but the "chorus" or whatever it's called, has changed a bit...as anxious as I am record the piano part, I plan to rehearse it a bunch first...might go back down there after my nap...
5:27PM--and so I did, and came up with a startling idea--record the BASS track first THEN add the piano track...I need to practice both parts (seperately) for the sake of smoothness, but it worked!!! I'm hoping to replace the key-board Bass part with a guitar running thru the ME70 Octave patch...might at least set things up this evening...
6:32 PM--my desire to do stuff, especially Musical stuff, is just as strong, if not stronger, at this point in time than it is earlier...after Dinner is when I should start winding down, at least a little...
8:11PM--the whole "guitar as Bass" idea seems to work...I accidently switched on "auto punch" and it won't turn OFF...having it ON might not be having any effect on anything for all I know, so I'll just try to ignore that switch as best as I can...the more or less immediate goal is to lay down a complete Bass part then a piano part...after which who knows?
SUNDAY  4/12/2020 8:35 AM--I erased/deleted the whole thing, which was only two tracks...I just laid down another metronome/drum track...the "Auto Punch" light is OFF, I think...
10:10 AM- I’m. trying to get going on this recording project this morning, but I think somebody up there doesn’t want me to work on it yet...I keep messing up and having to start all over…So maybe the thing to do is give up for a little while and go back upstairs and read a book or watch TV…I’ll be back at some point... I’m not ready to give up just yet...
10:31 AM--I now know that the concept of doing the Bass track first is a valid one...I just need to simplify the part itself, stop trying to impress anybody...
9:02 PM--on the other hand, I don't wanna dumb down the keyboard bass part due to my relative lack of ability playing keyboards...I think I might have to buy a Bass guitar...
