Striking out

This is getting old.

I think this is the third song I've recorded and, when I listened to it, hated it.

I don't really know what's wrong with it. It just didn't come together like I wanted. It sounds about like I expected it to sound, but it's just . . . well, I guess 'disappointing' would be the closest word.

I don't know what's wrong with me, suddenly. I go back and listen to my older stuff--and by "older" I mean "from a few months ago" and it sounds fine to me. Hell, it sounds great. Even some stuff I was iffy about before sounds pretty good to me now. The new stuff . . . not so much.

This is probably an indication that I need to make some changes to my sound. As to *what* needs to be changed, I have no clue. I'll have to do some experimenting.

I just hope this fog I'm wondering in clears soon . . . I really want to get some new stuff out there. But *good* new stuff, not what I've been producing lately.

  1. Hmm, can you embed some of your stuff here? I'm pretty sure I could help you out.

  2. Doesn't look like it. I'll keep looking into it, though--maybe I'm just missing it. Wouldn't be the first time. Thanx, Jez!

  3. I just monkeyed around with the mix a bit and like it a little better--it's uploaded to my iLike profile if you want to give it a listen (link is at the top of this page). Butterfly # 12. Last tune on the list.
