Recording Begins!

I finally started to officially record, and I think it's going pretty well. I recorded three songs last night, tentatively titled "Not For Sale", "Karen's Song", and "Sex Love Life". They were some of the easier songs to do in terms of recording becuase they have hooks that are done already or just don't have hooks period. I've edited them this afternoon and am listening now as well as sending them off to at least one trusted confidant for feedback. I'm pretty happy though. It only took 3 hours, which is a pretty ridiculous speed for me, but the songs seem to have come out pretty well at first look.

I also finally figured out why my vocals didn't seem to be compressing in Cubase. Turns out I'm an idiot! To get something to compress, you not only have to set the compressor, you have to turn it on. Who would have thought?

I plan to record at least one song tonight, although I have to get up early tomorrow morning so I don't want to go too crazy. If I keep going at this rate though, I'm going to be out of songs to record in a few days. Time to pick the writing pace up, I guess...
