A real pain in the neck

I’m running late in pretty much everything at the moment, and it bugs me. I had planned on being done with recording my collection of songs by now, but alas, this is not the case. I’ve had some problems with a stubborn pain in the neck for the last couple of days, literally speaking. The back of my neck and my left shoulder have been bothering me, and I don’t know why. Bad pillow perhaps? No clue. I just woke up one day and it was hurting. It’s pretty much gone now, though, so I spent a chunk of time recording today.

Another annoying thing is that I keep noticing problems with the songs that I already recorded. I was listening to Nostalgia the other day, and noticed that the instruments are all out of tune. The guitars sound horrible together. I had planned on re-recording only the vocals, but I found that it’s pretty hard to sing in tune when the accompaniment is out of tune. But why? Why, oh why does it sound out of tune now? It sounded fine when I recorded the song in the first place. I know my ears haven’t gone mad, so my only conclusion is that the change of headphones and room to record in really made that much of a difference. Anyway, I just can’t leave the song all out of tune and crappy like that, so I’m going to re-record most of the instruments too.

After that I’m going to re-do Tomorrow, which I’m also not happy with, and then finally record the last song.

About Sami

I was born and raised in Sweden and started studying music at the age of 10. Over the following 16 years I learned how to play the guitar, mandolin, bass, drums, trumpet, flutes, piano, sing and a few other things, and eventually graduated from college with a degree in performance. Now I'm trying to put all that stuff to good use and build myself a career, so that I can become incredibly rich and powerful and take over the universe.
