Many Many Tracks

I have been working on this one piece and it is evolving as they all do. It difficult to conceive but it is entirely possible that I might have twenty tracks to this one. I'm finding that they may consist mainly of isolated drum and rhythm pieces that contribute to a more tribal feeling that I am hearing in the piece. I am hoping to have it finished and ready for uploading in the next few weeks. I would like it to be sooner, but I know their are many changes that might occur the longer I work with it.

Minor Set Back

Well having been sick with some weird inner ear infection has set me back a few weeks on my current project :( I had intended on having a new piece up within this week but that unfortunately is not going to be. However I should be in shape in the next few days to begin work again. Hmmmmm. maybe I'll finally receive my Novation X that has been on backorder since.... well the dawn of humanity.

Woot

I've just gotten my MB back yesterday after having issues with wifi. They're not quite resolved (things are a bit flakey still). I've resolved a timing issue I've had with one of the pieces that I've been working. I'll be working solely on this one piece until it's finished. I won't speculate to say when that might be, but the timing issue was a big stumbling block. I have random s/h in a multilayered pad that defines the background of the piece, which was causing major issues with the the tempo perceived for other tracks in the piece. I won't go into long explanations on what happened so......

Typical Typical

It's typical of me. I've countless projects started in various levels of completion and I've just begun a new one the other night. I do a lot of compositional sketching - much of which never sees the light of day. However, sometimes I do something that takes me down an other route from what I was working on previously. So, now I have approximately six different pieces I'm working on and none nowhere near being completed. Woe to the Geminis!

Oh The Necessary Tools

Oh the necessary tools.

After much investigation and some chance stumblings upon information I have confirmed that my dilemma with recording audio feeds directly into the MBP is due to a lack of necessary tools. No surprise there. Which makes this need for the Novation X more important to me now than it did before. It will act as the audio hub between the Fusion and the MBP and thusly solve my sound issues (fingers crossed). It is still back ordered and not due for shipping until after the third. I so wish it would arrive - I'm just salivating to get my fingers on all those twisty knobs and slippy sliders yum!
