I am working on the next song: “Do You Really Believe?” This one will be my first venture outside the acoustic realm and my first attempt at a pop/rock genre tune. I’m not sure exactly how to classify it, so I will let somebody else worry about that.
Let me tell you, moving from using only guitar and voice to a full band instrumentation has been a big jump upwards in logistical complexity. I have gone from 2-3 tracks to close to two dozen tracks in this song.
This process has renewed my ambition to do the PC to Apple/Mac and Sonar to Logic Studio switch. No Pro Tools….”they” say it is, or maybe was, the “industry standard”, but I wasn’t that impressed with Pro Tools, especially for the money involved and especially with what looks like a non robust MIDI and live performance support. I could be wrong, but that was my impression. So, Logic it will be for me. I just hope that I can convert my Cakewalk Sonar projects over painlessly. Anyway, I am getting really tired of unexplained, unexpected system and/or application lock ups or bog downs under Windows and my Windows life is nearing an end. Yes, the end draws nigh.
Back to the song: I am making good progress though and I hope to have a fully mixed version to post still within the month of August. In the meantime, here is a tiny preview to keep you occupied and out of trouble. See you soon.
