Quotes have begun rolling in. It’s fun talking about the prices of things I can’t afford as if I can. Spent the day at studio, repeatedly finding myself running into the same problem: I have no experience or success in recording or mixing the styles of music I’m working on. If I don’t know how to get a good mix as I go along, I have trouble making it through the orchestration because I can’t make it sound like it does in my head. This didn’t USED to be a problem because I never chased anything stylistically, I just went for what came to me. And I keep telling myself that’s what I should be doing now…except what I feel like doing is what I’m trying to do. For tomorrow and Monday I definitely don’t have any job, so I’m spending the next two days, at least, studying. If I make it through all this shit and still unable to make decent rough mixes of pop…then to hell with it, I’m going back to my old influences, back to pianos. I kinda feel like giving up…this just seems to big for me.
