CowboyBillyBob1 Posted September 3, 2012 Share Posted September 3, 2012 In case anyone is interested in how bad things that happen are really opportunities to make good things happen.... Some of you may know that I was doing one of my first recordings using some new gear I purchased recently, Tascam DP008 and M-Audio monitors. I was just about finished covering Stand By Me as a demo of my poor skills when I stupidly reformatted the media that held all the song tracks. I easilly spent 8 hours getting it to that point. So I suck it up and try to start again when mt PC crapped out and I had to reformat and reinstall everything I needed on it. Dealing with Dell and Microsoft Tech Support is no fun. So I finally get it back together and have a problem with Fender Fuse software that helps run a practice amp I use, a GDEC3-30. So I spend a few hours making that work and when I do a final test to see if it all works somehow inspiration hits me. I play a few chords and then expand on them and my gosh I have a new song here. I develop it a bit and lyrics come to me. At least, and best of all, the hook!! I quickly lay it down on a Tascam DR07mk II which is a hand held digital recorder. I play it back through the monitors and... damn that is a great chord progression and the hook with lyrics is so cool and the ideas just start to flow. So now I am commited to make this tune happen!! It's gonna take me a while to record it properly and I hope to post it here so you all can destroy me with your comments. I just wanted to follow up on another thread I started about recording by a newbie producer. I am way excited about this so please stay tuned.
