  1. recorded a few tracks of Sue singing backup for "Say When." With luck, I'll have a finished song soon!
  2. I think I should convert my closet into a vocal isolation booth.
  3. recorded several vocal tracks. I'll make a rough mix of each and listen to 'em and see if there's anything any good.
  4. recorded new keyboard part for 2nd & 4th choruses (3rd chorus has most things stripped out).
  5. wrote up some charts to try and figure out how to wrangle "Say When" into 8 tracks. Submixing some smaller tracks now.
  6. recorded some shakers and tambourine. No guarantee they'll show up in the finished song.
  7. got a new autoharp sound by putting a strip of masking tape over the strings, giving it a sunny marimba feel. Recorded new AH part.
  8. wrote entirely new bass part for "Say When." Rejiggered drum part. Re-recorded both, as well as a new high keyboard part.
  9. I don't know quite where I want "Say When" to go, so it's unsurprising that I can't figure out how to get there.
  10. spent most of the day recording autoharp parts. Some of them were neat, but I don't think any of them are keepers. Frustration.
  11. recorded some sidechain-gated autoharp for the chorus. It sounds great! The rest of the autoharp sounds lousy! Too cluttered; sloppy.
  12. programmed up a sidechain noise gate for the autoharp in the chorus. I think I'm going to end up recording three autoharp tracks, at least.
  13. recorded some piano.
  14. programmed and recorded new bass line for "Say When."
  15. wrote a new bass line for "Say When." Tried not to overthink it, and it's already an improvement.
  16. still trying to figure out the bass for "Say When." I'm having a heck of a time getting a handle on it. Don't know what the deal is.
  17. fixed a couple of little bloops in the drum track for "Say When." I'm trying to work fast and loose, but I keep being fussy.
  18. tuned up the Autoharp and recorded a new (but still scratch) track for "Say When."
  19. recorded new drum track for "Say When." Messed with the bass (via Mopho) for awhile but came to no good conclusions.
  20. Programming drums for "Say When."
