here's some fun names i gave a few of the plugins so far! i love having the freedom to do this, it really is like a small part of the creation process but also brings me so much joy~

anyway, i'm on the road for creating track 2!! i have the intro, verse, chorus, and second verse lined up. so it's gonna take a day or 2 to finish, but i think i got it! there are points when i am making stuff where i think "man... this just isn't good enough!" and i "scrap" it. but sometimes i go back and rework stuff, and i end up salvaging it!

what usually helps me not lose motivation and keep producing is taking breaks!! and *not* thinking about the songs!! somehow, when I return, I have like a whole new perspective on the song. now, this won't always work, but at least when i return i will be more certain whether or not I want to keep working on it.

after i finish this song imma have to get some new plugins to change my landscape a bit. i want to be able to evolve my music in different ways. but sometimes i feel lost because there's so much out there... and i absolutely cannot afford any paid plugins right now, so that limits my options even further. but i know i will prevail!

2024 will be a good year :)
