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.
Tonight was a slightly unfocused night in the studio. It was a night of acoustic stuff, but most of what I got accomplished involved tinkering with different songs by Jackie Greene and Johnny Cash. If nothing else, I set up the next list of songs I want to figure out. Tomorrow night I need to start getting back to the Acoustic Goldmine book, as well. Every time I sit down with the acoustic for an extended period of time, I reconnect with the emotional side of that instrument. There's so much to learn still in that book, so much information designed to improve my playing. I need to take better advantage of it. I know it's crazy, but I'm already looking forward to Friday. I really need to spend a lot of the day in the studio. Getting a weekday off of work is such a rare commodity. I need to do a good job of using my time wisely.
