Well, I didn't get to record for two reasons. First, I had a hard time getting the TonePort working with my Cakewalk Music Creator. I think the combo was too much for my laptop's processor. That's fine, I'm going to move my recording setup to my desktop machine. The other problem is my fingers are still raw from this morning's session.
While these two developments may seem negative, for me both are good outcomes (even though I didn't get to record). First, I got some experience trying to use DAW software and an interface created by different companies. It's not fun...of course I'm using some really cheap software right now. I'll have to see if my new DAW plays nicely with the audio interface. More importantly, I tried instead of just blowing off recording totally. Secondly, I've played my guitar enough to make my fingertips sore! That means I actually got off my butt and played...for an extended period. I actually did something instead of thinking about doing something. So for me musically, it's been a good day. It's been good eye opener for goal setting too. I set the goal. I didn't make it, but that's ok. I got something out of it. That fact that I'm still excited about what I'm doing and not feeling like a failure is huge for me. I really hope I can keep this approach to music creation going.
