I have thirteen songs in various states of disarray.  Some are completed demos.  Some have been re-recorded.  Some need lyrics.  Others need guitar.  They all need mixing.<\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s a crazy smattering of pieces that I&#8217;m staring at and can&#8217;t seem to figure out how to put back together.<\/p>\n<p>My job ends in a month and I need to find work.

Do I master it?  I&#8217;d rather not.<\/p>\n<p>How far do I take each performance?  I have many songs with the original vocal performance recorded  (as in &#8211; I wrote the lyrics and recorded them the same day).

Guitar too &#8230; should I re-track everything????<\/p>\n<p>No &#8230; this is probably a waste of time <em>to a certain degree<\/em>.  I have to start sifting through it all, song by song, and figuring out what I can live with and what needs to be changed.  I don&#8217;t have a good amount of time to dedicate to this &#8230; so I&#8217;m kind of screwed.<\/p>\n<p>I guess I&#8217;ll figure it out&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The video for &#8220;Combat&#8221; is essentially done.
