Week 1/Song 1 - What's Another Day?

"What's Another Day?" - CLICK HERE TO PLAY

Apparently, one cannot simply go out and purchase a mic. One also has to purchase an audio interface, monitoring headphones, microphone cable, and a pick-up for the guitar so that the vocals and the guitar can be recorded and adjusted separately. Also, like many other things in this project, set up requires a vast amount of tinkering/troubleshooting. The combination of this and family issues kept me from being able to sit down and work on this week's song until tonight at 8:30pm. I've crammed for tests before, and it's pretty much the same feeling and yields similar results, i.e C+ performance. But, hey, I've got 51 more weeks to get better at it.

Speaking of 51 weeks, as further motivation to not give up on this, I am going to put on a show at the end to display my final audio portfolio. Tickets go on sale now. Payment can come in the form of constructive criticism or a simple, "Keep it up/Good luck". I also accept briefcases full of cold, hard cash.
