firstly and most importantly... blogger has let me down. in a BIG way. i haven t posteed anything for about 4 days because blogger took 3 days to upload a video i wanted to use, then decided i couldnt. so im very sorry about a lack of amusing video. it was just me spinning around on a chair really, but it made such an excellent point. anyway...
Straight to the point, I ballsed up. Plainly and simply just punched myself in the face. Listening back to the song today when I noticed something was missing, and after some inspection realised I missed out a whole section.
Yes, a huge whopping 10 bars containing a tiny guitar solo, and a rap. Couldn’t be doing without it really, so I spent an inordinate amount of time today and yesterday sorting that out, and as I had already bounced everything to audio I had to go back to the midi and write in some lovely new chords on strings and piano, bounce them to disk and integrate them with the new audio files, which turned out rather nicely, although there is a very slight but irritatingly noticeable change in volume due to the fact that logic 9 wants to normalise my entire life. For people who don’t know what that means it’s when the programme attempts to make everything you record AS LOUD AS POSSIBLE because these days there seems to be a competition going on in the pop world as to who can make the LOUDEST CD. But now, hopefully that’s dusted. Managed to cut and paste the drum parts from the audio because, let’s face it, any drum line sounds very much like another. Whew. That’s my mistake fixed and my rant over.
Hopefully this time it will stay done. So now I turned my attention to making it Christmassy! So I messed around with some lovely bells and recorded a few lines. Still choosing which one I like better but I think i found it after singing along loudly in the studio :D
And finally, I turn my attention to my big list. Today the last vocal part was taken. Huzzah! This means that the vocals are good to go! And not only is that on my list... it’s one of the MEGA BOXES! I’m going to enjoy this ticking...
Yaaaay. Good stuff. Just need to get down to recording. The room is proving difficult to book, but I have a couple of times set aside for it so I’m looking forward to getting my church on.
PS. On an unrelated, but equally awesome note, I made armour out of pizza boxes. I'm now officially a megazord.
