Strange day today. Lots of small bursts of activity that didn't feel as though they added up to much that was productive. I played for a bit this morning, but wasn't terribly focused on things for the band.
B. uploaded three different vocal tracks to the dropbox, so I spent some time checking those out. That was the only time today that I felt like I was truly productive. I burned the 3rd one to CD, and dropped it into the recording I was doing yesterday, but the whole thing felt just a bit off.
J. said he liked the tracks, but then spent 5 minutes asking me whether or not I thought we should increase the tempo. To a certain extent, I agree with him, but maybe not by the 8 BPM that he is suggesting. With a song like the one we're working on, if you add too much to the tempo, it kills the feel of the tune. Currently, it's running at 77. I think 82 seems more feasible than the 85 he's pushing for right now.
And, oh yeah, it would involve re-recording everything. Granted, that would give me a chance to change my strings, and see if that was the cause for the rhythm part seeming a little... dull the other day. And it would give us a chance to dig a little deeper into the song. Try and find the best tempo and the best performance. Still, I'm getting ready to work on something else, I think. We've spent two months thinking about this song, and I could use a change of pace for a bit.
Maybe I'll write something new and just throw it at him to see what he thinks.
