I started out this morning with one aim - get at least ONE useable vocal track recorded. I had to get some revision for uni work done and finish setting up my main PC since it went through a format recently. I tried to record to vocal track on my laptop but because of a lack of RAM, it kept skipping and jumping while I recorded so I had to wait to do it on the main PC.

I was a good girl, I did my uni work and installed the files and did all but one other thing on my to-do list for the day and so far I have two tracks recorded, both of which I feel could be better in some way so now I'm aiming for a third which takes the best of both and sounds fucking awesome!

I might as well have asked my body to poop out hard lumps of solid gold, because it just ain't happening the way I want it to. Either I do fine all the way and then at a high bit, BAM, voice cracks, or I do fine all the way and then FUCK, I mess up the ending. This is hard!

I'm starting to remember why I struggled so much and had so many skype practice sessions and discussions with Kim - it takes me a while to get to that point where I belt it out strongly and sound good (and as a perfectionist I will only ever say good, whereas Kim would say it fucking rocked!)

Still, I WILL get this third track done and sent off to Kim in dropbox before I can do the last thing on my list, which is more to do with books than bands, but still...the other demos sound perfect and I don't want to mess them up with bad singing. Why am I the lead singer? My singing SUCKS?!

Right, my tea will be ready to drink to give my voice that UMPH is needs so off I go to swear and hammer out this tune some more!
