Well, I put the drums I'd worked on last night with the guitars from a few days ago, and damn it it doesn't work just beautifully. Or at least, my tiredness of this project is making me think so. But, in fact, I don't think so. Maybe some distance is required, but I believe I actually have something today. Thank goodness for Audacity. Nothing else I've tried has worked as well. Takes a bit of getting used to, and still has some primitive bits to it, but damn, results matter.
No swimming yet, I figure I'll try that around 7 PM.
Update: Swimming got well in, 25 laps around 6:45 or so. Seems to be a good time on Sunday.
When I came back, I did a complete little section of song from beginning to end--starting with drums, adding bass guitar and rhythm guitar. Assembled in Audacity and you know, it's pretty good. It's only about 14 seconds or so, but long enough (short songs are best). But what makes it most encouraging is that conception to "final" product was only about an hour or so. Either I'm getting pretty good or my idea of quality is dropping enough to compensate.
Two bits of music hardly seem like the sort of thing to constitute a day's activity, but I feel today has been a good one.
