Plans
Monday, 04 February 2008
I haven´t started recording yet, I'm still in the planning stages. In fact, I haven't even fired up Cubase once in these four days. Not once. I've been focusing on the lyric writing. And I'm more than one third through with it, which is pretty nice going, in fact more than I'd hoped for.

I've decided to set me up with a temporary studio. I'll use the sauna, which in fact isn't used much as a sauna, but more like a storage facility for dirty laundry. It's a pretty big sauna, we've actually even used it as a spare bedroom on occasion. So I'll be okay with the space in there. My wife will be inconvenienced though, she kind of regards that part of the house her private domain. I'll break it to her gently.

The sauna is pretty well isolated, and a good distance away from the bedrooms. That would mean I could bang on my guitars and do vocal overdubs until well into the night without bothering anyone. It's perfect, and in fact necessary if I'm to finish on time, I think. It would mean I'll be able to put in at least an extra two or three hours worth of work a day.

It also means I'll have to use a different computer than the miditower workstation I normally use. So, tomorrow will be spent mostly installing all the software I'll be needing, keeping my fingers crossed that there won't be any snags. I'm already worrying about how to interface the midi stuff. I don't think my laptop has a midi port. Well, I'll cross that bridge when I come to it.

Wish I'd have thought of this sooner, though, I could've at least made the notebook ready before the start of the month. Oh well...
