Overworking on this album project!

Developing new ways in producing my music has meant working in one direction, then changing direction when the result was disappointing, thus adding more frustration in getting this album project finished.

It is like I've recorded four albums, as the amount of times re-recording parts and re-working parts of the songs has meant I've been doing too much in getting this album project completed.

I always get the projects that I set out to do, done, in the end!

But this new album of mine will be liked by you my fans: new, old and in the future!

Keep on Rockin'!

Drums?

I have completed four songs so far, which is featuring electronic drums played by myself.

As I didn't intend to play the drums, I have sampled some of my drum playing, which is making this project fun once again.

I didn't think of using my drum playing throughout my songs, but due to the difficulty in getting my guitar playing synchronised with the drums I programmed in the Cubase DAW*, meant that playing the drums I could get the right tempo for each part of the songs.

The reason for the difficulty was because I used a drum machine within the studio recording outboard equipment and when I transfered the WAV files to my computer the Cubase used a different value, so fitting the programmed drums wasn't very good.

As time goes on I'm getting better in the way I'm working in performing and recording my music.

* DAW: Digital Audio Workstation.

News: Instrumental Guitar Album Project

During working on my sixth album I recorded extra guitar and drums, which has meant that I've got three instrumental backing tracks and one track of lead guitar, which is very good and features wah-wah effects, plus I have programmed some studio effects in Cubase DAW to add different sonic dimensions to my lead guitar work.

When I record the drums it will be on a proper full sized electronic drum kit, with mesh drum skins that adds the real response and sound of a traditional drum kit.

Expanding the way I'm working is making music more exciting, with better results.

Keep on Rockin'!
