Reply To: Your Thoughts on Black Friday Season So Far…

[LinkedMusicians]

I would never create a spreadsheet of all of my purchases; that would be far too depressing! Although, on a related note, how about a spreadsheet with a correlation between plugins purchased and finished songs / compositions produced (for the hobbyists, like myself, in the group). That would be depressing!

I don’t know about anyone else here, but the reason I’ve finished as many covers as I have as I will be working on songs I wrote decades ago and get stuck trying to remember something and can’t recall it, so I google chords and lyrics for a cover, press record and then do first takes on everything — because my attitude is, “It’s just a quick, jam cover, I don’t want to spend too much time doing it.” And then, when I’m working on it, it’s a combination of, “Wow, I really can’t play anymore.” and sometimes, “Wow, I’m not as terrible as I expected.” Then I listen to it the next day and I’m like, “Well, these 4 bars are really good. Shame about the rest of it!”

And that is the current state of my musical endeavors and my second overshare of the day!
