• Music making log (era 2)
  • Really struggling to sing well lol RIP
  • Fun because I just quickly made the world’s most basic drum beat, looped it, played 3 chords
  • Spent like 5 mins playing around with the lyrics
I say I don't mind where I go

And I know
That I mind
Yeah I mind 
Oh I mind
  • I like this! Simple way of talking about the like “oh I don’t mind living at my mum’s for 6 months, I’m not missing out on anything because I’m trying to build a good life” → “oh shit, community rules (Ship It Week log), I really should care less about how much money I have left and spend more time with people”

  • Alternative version - acoustic guitar, iphone voice memo. Honestly, iphone voice memos sound kinda great

    • Total ripoff from track 2 of the new Wet Leg album, first line + general chord progression, feels great to have the permission to “steal like an artist”
  • Felt good to return to Ableton after 8 months away and still be able to slap something together!

Guitar effects stack

  • Now I have Ableton Suite (overkill, I should probably have just been a GarageBand boy until my production skills improved enough), I’ve got the built-in Ableton amps & cabinets
  • As my macbook broke, I don’t have any of my plugins and saved effect chains, which is kind of a bummer, but also kind of nice to start fresh and minimalist

Vocal effects stack

  • I just asked Google Gemini what the 80/20 effects stack would be
