I finally got some quality time in the studio today. I was able to record a few tracks that I think turned out well. My recording quality is still hindering my progress, but I think that I'm starting to work around that. I should look into this, but when I was adjusting the levels, I noticed that I couldn't mix my track as loud as I would like. I'm sort of a beginner to recording equipment, but I do know that if the input is too loud it'll start to peak and crack. But I know that I can turn up the volume on my headphones and the track sounds good. Why can't I do that in the recording program so I don't have to turn up my headphones so loud?
Yeah, I guess that's a homework assignment I'll have to get to at some point. Although, since I don't have any money for buying new equipment, I imagine the answer isn't going to be what I would want. So, I'll probably just ignore that for now. I also need to do more work with the measures within my tracks. I haven't quite figured out the notation in the program, so I just kinda do whatever sounds decent. But I know that if I figure out the math, it can work more like sheet music.
And lastly, I should mention that while going through my catalogue of music, I found that some songs were more similar than I would like. I don't need or even want to have my music just all over the place. You have to have a theme or style of some sort to keep people's interest and not alienate fans that only like some stuff. But I can't stand when I do something really obvious and don't notice it when I'm writing. Like, the songs were different enough to say fine, I could get away with that, but I just didn't like how similar they were. I mean, I didn't do that on purpose. I don't wanna just make mistakes and pretend like I meant to. Yet, now that I'm thinking about it, I feel like I have to listen to the songs more closely to make sure that's actually a bad thing.
