So it's been like a week since I posted something, though there really isn't anything to post. We're just having some down time, trying to take it sort-of easy. I've gotten a little burned out trying to pump these things out as fast as possible, and once episode 10's done, the rest are gonna be a ton of work, and since 10 probably won't be one of the longer ones, we can take our time with it to an extent and still get it out in a reasonable time.

In the down time, I've started writing some music again after a 2 or 3 month break (and by music, I'm not referring to our soundtrack). I've finally started using Reason heavily for the drums, which sounds amazing; obviously not as good as an actual audio recording, but 1) I'm not quite good enough at the drums, 2) my microphone collection is pretty pathetic (though my kick drum mic rules) and 3) I'm not the only person living in my house, so recording time is scarce to say the least. I'll stick to guitar and bass for now. Recording vocals is similar to drums, especially considering my style of vocals, but they don't typically need as many takes and they can be auto-punched, whereas drums can only punch-in if there's a complete break. I'm hoping this song won't get stuck due to writer's block for months on end, I'm pretty stoked for it (and it's in a 7/4 time signature, which also rules, and is much more fun than I thought it would be). Probably no one cares, especially considering this isn't a music blog, but that's ok. It's my blog. I say what I want. :-) God bless!
