Members gr8fuldodd Posted August 27, 2006 Members Share Posted August 27, 2006 I've never really needed to crank out a bunch of tracksbut my forays into this realm usually show how clueless I am at this gamemy time with a cheap four track only exposed my lack of timingand now my attempts with a computer show my lack of dexterity with this equipment! grrrrr I was just thinking...first you gotta learn how to playthen you gotta learn how to play with the peeplesthen you have to learn something about gear and how to get better tonesthen you have to learn how to write tunesthen you have to learn how to make the tunes with different tracksthen you have to learn how to record it! what a pain in the ass this {censored} is! why couldn't I be happy flipping my record and loading my bong!!!!

Members Klisk Posted August 27, 2006 Members Share Posted August 27, 2006 Practice, practice, practice. In all seriousness, I think actually learning just how to play is the hardest part. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members GuyaGuy Posted August 27, 2006 Members Share Posted August 27, 2006 recording is a whole 'nuther ballgame. almost unrelated to playing. my take on it? learn to do it well enuff to get a halfway decent demo and that's it--unless you wanna become an engineer. because unless you wanna spend just as much time with mic placement as you do w/ playing songs, it ain't for you.
