Ok So, I Did A TINY Bit More Tweaking On The New Song

I've always wanted to try out this way of mixing that I've read about.  I always mean to do it but then I usually just end up getting sucked into the song and finishing it by just listening to the song over and over and over again.

Apparently it's better to make a playlist of songs you want your song to sound like.  Then take your mix and listen to your song every 2 or 3 songs... so basically put that mix on shuffle... then make a mix... then listen to your song... then listen to like 2 or 3 or 4 professional and popular songs that you WANT your song to sound like.  Listen to how those are mixed and similarities and differences.

Then go back and mix some.  Then just keep repeating that.  I've decided to try that tonight.

I made a couple more changes that I REALLY think make the song sound a little better than it had been sounding!  I'm digging this way of mixing.  I think I'm going to do 1 more mix session with this method.

So I'm going to say the song will most likely be up this weekend at some point.

I think I'm going to use tomorrow as the one more mix session.  So I'm most likely not going to go to open mic.  I'll just stay in again.  It's ok because I haven't actually practiced my songs enough for this week.

Let see what else... oh so today I was looking around at replacing the fan on my macbook pro... turns out it's fairly easy to do!  SO I'm going to order the parts and replace that.  I'm still going to buy the 13 inch macbook pro... but then I'll be able to sell this one as fully functioning and all that goodstuff instead of as... the fan makes loud noises sometimes... that's generally not a good selling point.

There's the walkthrough and the parts can be ordered from that page too!  That's for the left fan.  I'm guessing it's the left fan... you know... since it's coming from the left side and all.

So that's the latest and greatest.  And I told myself I wasn't going to mix anymore on the song the other night... so I'm telling myself right now that I get one more mixing session and that will be it.  Any more mistakes or oddities in the song will have to stay there forever and ever.  Then I'll release this song to the world.  I'll post a little blog about the song when I finally finish it.  It's always fun to know the backstory and behinds the scenes on creative things.  So I'll post that up and then everyone can know what the dealio is.
