Dusted off the old multitrack tonight, have renewed energy for recording... just want to get that stupid ballad polished enough to move the hell on. It's been almost a year now since i first started recording it, and i haven't touched it in several months now.

See, for some reason, i can't back up that one song, and i want to free up some disk space to make the noise i need to make to get my engines revved up again... so i got to take this mountain down, piece by piece, until the valley is in view and i can move forward again.

So right now i'm re-tracking the bass part. It clipped so badly before, and i think i was drunk when i recorded it the first time.

It's hard to get a good performance when you're too lazy to punch in, but it sure feels better knowing it'll be a one-take track.

Latest musical problem: there's a $400 digital piano i NEEEEEED so badly but it's being discontinued and i won't have the money for it for another two weeks; after that, i'll have to pay $600-800 for a decent machine. I need 88 keys, and i've been having weird oscillator problems with the old 61-key Juno 106, which doesn't have expressive dynamics anyway and the sounds aren't really all that. Of course, i'll still need a synth. And a better drum machine. Sigh.
