"and when you've found something to die for..."

i'm starting a new virtual band. by "virtual" i mean that i am going to record all the weird shit that i can come up with, and then have mike "guitar god" flowers and nate "bass in your mother f**king face" cameron contribute their musical genious and ideas to these songs. and yes, nate's nickname really has "f**king" in it. because we all know im not afraid to write "fucking". but that's his nickname. gotta stick with the official "*" because i don't want to get sued by his publisher or agent or something. fucking bastards. also, when i said "weird shit" above, what i meant was i could throw layers upon layers of stuff. goodness knows "weird" isn't the right adjective to describe the music that i write.

so the hardest part about this new virtual band is going to be using logic. because i think it'd be an understatement to say that its not-so-intuitive. i mean, i would assume that when person "a" sets up logic, they'll want to have the headphones be a monitor. but in order to make it that way, you have to go through 3 different screens to set UP the monitors, and even then they are extremely washed out. its like, are you serious? what time is it? thats right, amateur hour.

and then once you get all that up and running, you have to use multiple plug-ins just to make the mic sound decent (no hissing, good levels, etc). Now, this could totally be a product of the fact that I have a performing mic, and not a condenser mic, but I find that a little hard to believe.

so i guess all i need to do is open my schedule up enough so that i have some fucking time to record. i dont get home during the week until 9:30 or so every night. wah, wah. yeah, i get it. time to get to work. hopefully that means new songs will be up online once i learn how to mix... so, 9 months? a year? we'll see.
