Tools
There hasn’t been any “technical” talk here. Not on purpose, I suppose? Besides the challenge of writing, recording, mixing, and mastering this record, I am also faced with the challenge of learning ProTools on my own for the first time. An MBox2 has been sitting in my house for just over a year now and it has simply collected dust. There was a brief brush with PT at the end of my college days, but the program has changed a bunch since then. Luckily, Ben Karis-Nix had a few moments to show me a few pointers in layman’s terms so at this point I’m comfortable comping together a vocal track, editing in general, and using plugins to my advantage. I made my first full song edit yesterday! (where I moved a whole verse section back about four bars — just too much space!) This confidence will evaporate when mixing.
