Pro Tools

12:51 Spent all day yesterday trying to finish the new song, and things have definitely improved. The album is coming together nicely. The idea is to make a record of only strong material, rather than having 3 or 4 good songs and a bunch of guitar solos. I think the major obstacle is retaining objectivity, in the sense that sometimes you have a very good idea but kill it in its infancy through being overly critical and not giving it a chance to grow. So I've been trying to run with an idea a bit more, to see where it can go. This song is definitely a good example of this. On the other hand, you want to be careful and not waste a lot of time with something that is not really good in the first place. But how do you know?

For the recording geeks out there, here's a couple of pics from the Pro Tools demo session of the new song.
