ughz.
i ain't been feeling too creative.
i havent made a drop dead dope beat in like 2 or 3 weeks now.
i got my manager knocking at the proverbial door and i feel like i'm standing him up. BUT. i'm not down or depressed. it's just a slow period. i'm trying to work through some technical kinks at home (fl studio deciding to revert to demo mode TWICE in the past 2 weeks) and my beatblock, while also trying to figure out the best working environment.
my brother came over to listen to/play some beats, and my neighbor comes to my door banging on it, asking me to keep it down so she could study. i had to respect that, even though it was a saturday evening, around 6:30 pm.
ugh.
just a lil dark cloud looming, though. we'll fix it.
so a few months ago i bought a 160gb SATA drive for my computer and i have yet to install it. oh, ive tried, but for some reason it's not even recognizing that the drive is connected to the SATA header. it's pissing me off, but in a stroke of luck i also managed to get my old 60gb drive with all the old samples on it up and running. that was great, because about 60 % of the beats i sent Nate yesterday were from my old drive.
thank god for superproductive weeks past.
i really really need to get organized tho.
not just with music, but everything in my life is all over the place. the problem is, i don't know where to start or how to STAY that way. i guess the only way to figure out what works for me is to try everything until something sticks...but this crap i'm doing now is not what's good in the least.
whatever. i'm going to get myself a corkboard and an agenda, and keep better records on my outlook/pda, get an ING account or 2 and save some money, get my focus on the right things. all these side projects is gonna have to take a backseat to the beathustle til i start moving product at a higher rate than this. also i'm hella focused on a laptop. i was trying to get some investors to speed up the process, but it looks like i'm going to have to stack my own dough for this one, which is fair. bad thing is that the laptop is just the beginning of having a mobile production system.
i'm still gonna need an audio interface (a GOOD one, i hate latency like nobody's business) and at least 1 external drive for samples. probably a 250+ gig joint. this is money i ain't close to having.
*sells self on the corner*
when i get it going and good though, this beat shit is a WRAP.
until then, though...
