I done learnt me some such er 'nother

So it's nearly 6AM and I know what you're thinking, "Isn't the Night Shift over??" Well, technically no, I'm gearing up for the first night of my next 7 day stretch which begins tomorrow. I have been so stressed out as of late. I'm going to make an attempt to pay off some student loans and not go to school until nursing school starts up.
Anyway, it's nearly 6AM right? What am I doing? The photos you see are the recording software I'm currently using. It's Ableton Live Lite 6 and there is definitely a learning curve going on. I didn't mix jack s*** tonight and I am so frustrated. I opened up a mix I made last night which I thought sounded somewhat decent. It was a typical 3 track set but the bitch of it was that the recording software only recorded a portion of one of the tracks. Thus, none of my beat matches were there for my listening pleasure. I can see the disappointment in your eyes. Don't be sad, there will be plenty more where that came from including previous recordings assuming I can upload them and post them without getting the hairs on my ass sued off.

Anyhow, I've spent the better portion of 3 hours tweaking and adjusting my computer, Ableton, and my sound card (Fast Track Pro) so hopefully even if the mixes suck the sound quality will be decent and the entire recording will save. One other thing I was able to do tonight was render a live session. I only recorded about a 30 second snippet of a track but I really wanted to see what it meant to render. Rendering is converting the mixes into a .wav file so I can listen to them through a music player or burn them to a CD or (hopefully) make them into mp3s and post them right here on this blog.

I think I'm going to head to bed and get some sleep, nothing like burying yourself in a compost heap of frustration to cure massive amounts of financial anxiety.

Good morning, I'll see you at dusk.
