LET'S DO THIS!!! :)

ok So.. I've put the down payment on that KSM32 at the pawn shop. Turns out they have a layaway thing. Now though i find out that this mic is kind of weak and i want a mic that ain't dainty. I mean i can understand ribbons but not condensers. CAn i just say how much i miss my quit typing mac. Pc keyboards can be so LOUD!!! kinda annoying lol. ANyway i digress.

They have an AKG which usually sounds a bit warmer which is what i like WARMTH ^_^ so good for harmonies. FLat harmonies are like muffins that aren't moist. Just kind of there. Want some character in my sound. Well we'll see what happens... maybe the mic will turn out to be better than my friend and another respected audio engineer think about it and as good as the reviews say. But good thing is i have 30 days to take it back and trade it in for somethin else of the same value. Well all for tonight. Things will get more interesting i promise just give me some time to have something to rant about, talk about, and discuss. thankyou for following me and for reading. Signing off... In Look Of A Mic... ^_^

ok Short and too the point

Ok. So not much happened today. Tried to work on some music and some of a song finished lol. Mostly just wasted time today which isn't good. I have a lot to think about and need to finish these songs so that i can perform them at this open mic next week. Literally a week away so i need to get busy. Well to all have a good night/ morning and i'll get bettter at writing more. I'm over the three day hump so this should hopefully stay pretty consisitent. When i get everything i need to record and put vids up on youtube i plan to do at least one a week. Do one i want every week and the do a song that has been requested every other week or whatever. whichever happens happens lol :) goodnite all.

I want to be me

Ok. So, so far i'm failing pretty hard when it comes to the songwriting thing lol have written nothing new i have to write 2 tonight before i go to sleep to catch up lol. And i'm actually going to bed before 2 wut? I reall want to try this thing out called going to sleep when i'm actually tired. it's never too early to sleep unless it's too early lol. Well i'm going to read some bleach then write some then go to bed.

Still tryin to figure out the money situation and what to blog about other than my life lol. i mean i know i need some actual content to put up so when i get readers they don't die from babble eye lol. This condition will set in after reading an excess of babble. I REALLY want that mic. I mean it's such a great mic according to reviews. Seen nothing bad about it. So new music to be up soon. hopefully in the next couple of weeks i can get this thing rolling along. One song will be about how i just want to break free and do the things that make me happy but i know people will think i'm crazy for it. and i guess another song about food maybe.

Well people stay dry, tip your waiters/ waitresses, and brush your teeth cavities bite... does anyone else see the irony in the cavity statement lol :P.

Peace peeps.

Day 2 Recording discoveries

So I just remembered that i had ableton live lite 5. So i decided to crak it out and see what it's about lol. Turns out i was eligible for an update to live lite 8 :D score. So now i don't have to mess around with poopy FL Studio. Although it may turn out that FL was better i don't know it was a dmeo so i didn't waste my time figuring my way through it.

Now i have live lite 8. let's see what this puppy can do. All that's left now is to get an interface some ram and a mic... well i have a mic lol. 2... ones the mic from my xbox ROFL and the other is my AT DR-VX1 mic or somethin or other. Standard dynamic. haven't heard it hope it sounds good :) I found a Shure KSM32 at a pawn shop by my house. They have it shockmount and all for 169!!! OMG i think it comes with a case but yeah if anyone has any odd jobs for me i'll do them!!! I WANT THAT MIC!!!! Well thanks for reading tonite edition of the Songster Scribblins. :)

I really hope that this blog kinda takes off like it did for Julia lol in Julie and Julia only instead i end up becoming a musician... lol which is going to happen anyway regardless of how well this blog does lol. Oh and i really enjoy Jane Lui's voice and music. Southern Winds got me hooked on Jane lol such a pretty song. you should check it out like NOW!!!

AHHGGH i feel like ants are crawling on me... ugh!

The first of many to come...

This is the first of many to come. First off i'm up WAY too late. This is one habit i need to change. I will attempt to challenge myself for a certain amount of time (yet to be decided) to write a song a day. No matter how bad or well versed it is. As long as it comes from the heart. i will also attempt to blog everyday. This may be difficult in some situations when no computer is available but we'll see what happens.

For those of you wondering i am Ray Fairley a.k.a. Speedjenga. i am a singer/ songwriter who has so far completed 3 songs but is currently attempting to finish a multitude of different works haha. I have many poems completed but lack in songs that are finished and ready to be polished. I guess i'll kind of just write about what's going on in my life and processes when writing my songs and how i'm coming along with them. not really sure yet.

Well right now i'm looking for work so that I can start up my home based recording studio/ get some equipment to allow me to put covers up on youtube that are better than normal. I ramble when i'm tired. Looks like it's time to go to bed. I'll talk to you all later. If you're reading thanks :)
