Today's song is unique, and appropriately named. It randomly changes direction (and keys), but it does so all together. It turned out to be 12 (or so) tracks, but the 4 stampeding guitar tracks sit on top of the mix. The structure consists of 3 main sections, but all of the guitar parts are different in each section (even the ones that repeat the same chord progression). I added a synth vocal choir in the background to smooth the rough edges, but the bass and drums drive this song.
I started writing this song after work today (around 1500), but I ran into a few software glitches around 1700, and I wasn't able to continue this song again until 2200. I stopped working on the song around 2320, got the mix right on the first try, and got it uploaded around 2335. Close call, but I learned a few things from this experience. To fix the software issue I had to dive into some manuals and open some windows that I hadn't opened before. Throughout the process of identifying the problem I was able to customize my sessions in a way that will save time in the future. I like learning experiences, but I prefer to learn technical lessons when the clock is not running.
