Well, it's officially the new day. I did a couple of nice Audacity songs--very Residents-like, but I'll only be able to use one as they both use the same bass and trumpet pattern as a rhythm. Still, nice. (I suspect that I'll go with the second, as the sax from the first is part of the Nice Jazz song and I don't want to spread stuff too thin.)
Daytime: well, a few vocal takes of Cat Song, most of which are pretty bad. I decided not to use the backing track as a guide, and that was a mistake--everything got a lot faster than it should have. One good thing: I think the higher the voice, the less effective it is. If I can get it down low, it won't interfere with the guitars and it might work a lot better. Will try a few more takes--with the backing track, thanks--a little later on.
Well, it's a little later, and I think we've finally managed to get a workable vocal. Huzzah and hooray! I'm not sure what else I want to accomplish (that I can). Perhaps some trumpet work later on. I feel it's been a productive day, though.
Did some trumpet tracks, dry, with heavy reverb, and with the Harmonizer pedal. Not sure if any of it can be used anywhere, but it's nice to just play without worrying where something might fit (or not fit).
I doubt I'll do anything else creative the rest of the day, but I'll keep my options open.
And, voila, nothing else done today.
