Troubled Times
The title to this song is supposed to be about the times we find ourselves in, Politically, Environmentally. Etc Etc. But I think the title describes my efforts to record this thing!! :( I lost power at my house after spending about 4 hours recording new tracks and mixing editing etc etc. I have only been playing about 4 years and recording for about 3 months. So this stuff is real hard for me right now. Anyway some of the files were corrupted when the power went out! After convincing myself that smashing my computer with my guitar was not a good idea this is what I was able to piece together. The ending kinda sucks! And I had some more sound bites that talked about politics and the environment but they were corrupted along with some guitar parts. But this is a rough draft and later when I get a second wind I will try and do this thing again. But anyway I wanted to share it and see if anyone has any useful advice. I am having trouble right now with a bass track. When I have tried to add one it makes everything sound distorted and muddy. I am also having trouble putting in breaks and adding lead guitar smoothly into the track. Those are just a few of the things I can think of at the moment.
