Not feeling in great form today - still dealing with the bloody manflu (which actually turned out to be a chest infection) - I'm nearly out of the woods, but I'm still stepping on squirrel droppings...
I didn't really feel like tackling anything major today, so I had a bit of a think. I'd been planning to record a track called EVERYBODY CALLS ME DARREN for a long time, but I hadn't really worked out what I was going to do with it. Got a spot of inspiration over the last few days and decided that I was going to do a mad take on a barber shop quartet-style a cappella arrangement. In order to do this, I'll need some form of rhythm track and some guide tones. So I recorded a metronome track in CE5 using the Behringer Xenyx 1202 mixer. I also recorded some MIDI bass tones using HALion One Ocatve Synth Bass (hopefully you won't hear either of these on the finished track).
For some mad reason, the Roland Juno-D seemed to "miss" various notes while programming, so I resurrected my old Yamaha DX100 synth and programmed using that. No problems with "missed" notes.

Having some time to kill, I decided to mix/master THE BOOK OF PASSWORDS in CE5/AA3. First track of the album finished in January - remarkable!
More fun tomorrow (hopefully...).
