Well, I got one project looked into today. It doesn't look as if I'll be able to pull the vocal from that song for one of my customers. It's planted firmly in the middle of the mix, so some of it exists on both the left and right channels. I'd imagine that if I had ProTools, I'd be able to separate the vocal from the rest, but no such luck. I'll try a few other options tomorrow, but round one goes to the ever-sneaky engineer who mixed the track all those years ago.
Short one today. I've got a bunch of the DVDs that Guitar World has put out. Waded through those to see what I had, worked off of the lead guitar one. Just basic scales , but still a light place to begin. It was nice to just start loosening up my fingers again. Off from work tomorrow, so hopefully I'll get a lot of playing done. Said I'd mention the other project I'm hoping to finish this year. Back when I was living in WI, I started a hard rock band with a friend of mine. She was heavily influenced by Evanescence, and so, with her as vocalist, we started writing songs. We had written and demoed almost a full album's worth of music by the time I moved to IA, and had even purchased a P.A. in preparation for eventual gigs. We never did find a permanent drummer or bassist, so our demos sound very rough (and not nearly loud enough). I'd like to finish those songs, and make an EP of the 4 or 5 strongest, just as a way to put a cap on that project. More tom...
