Here We Go!

I really didn't think I would figure this recording software out today, but I played around with it for about an hour and am finally making progress! I practiced one of my songs a few times, and figured out all the little controls I need to mix it. So...wow alot of things are going to be happing in the next few months. I will be working on my new cd, and brandonroyer.com will be started.
So lets see here...I have to design a website and put content on it. I have to update my myspace with some of my songs and pictures. I have to record all of my music and send it in for copyright, and I have too keep you all updated here! I'm really going to be working on my music in the next coming weeks, hopefully I will get a song or two recorded. I'm not real good with the whole singing thing, but I'm sure it will sound OK. Anyways, just keeping you updated!

Nothing Yet

I said in the last post that I would update you all on my first recording session...right? Well, I never really had time to have a good one yet. I've just been messing around with the software, and seeing what I could do with my acoustic.
Its hard to find time to record when there are five people living in this house, and someone is always sleeping or resting! Its really hard to get them out of the house, which is my dad, mom, grandpa, brother and soon my sis and her husband when he gets done with college this year! Sometimes I just want to move out right away. But I can't see the point in paying rent for something you will never own. Rent around here is as much as a house anyhow so it would be just plain stupid to rent. I got some money saved up, and I hope to move out in the next year or two. Plenty of time to work on music! Hopefully I will have my second album out by then!
Just updating on my absence and what I've been doing. Nothing really yet, just messing around with the guitar, and trying different things with my songs! I will try and keep this updated twice a month! So stay tuned!

Welcome

This is my blog for my hobby, music. I am a new musician, and not really that good, but I have passion in my music, and my songs. I write all of the songs you will hear someday, and I put music to most of them. There will someday be a website to promote my recordings, but for now this will do.
I've been playing guitar for about three years now, and have just moved from the acoustic to an electric. What better way to start playing an electric than going out and buying a new guitar? I bought myself a brand new Standard Fender Telecaster. The color is electron blue, and let me tell you, that guitar sings! I love it, and will never sell it. Hell, I might even be buried with it!
Anyways, this blog is to show my progress on my recording sessions, which will start tomorrow. I have twelve original songs to cut, and I have my whole life to do it in! So this blog is to try and keep me motivated! I will have a fifteen minute practice session, then an hour of recording sessions. I plan on working on one song till I get it right, then move on from there. So, we will see how it goes! I will keep everyone posted tomorrow on how the recording session went.
