Ack, this project is killing me. I'm loaded with stuff to do: homework for classes I'm only taking because they're required and not because I actually want to be a Recording Engineer, stuff I've volunteered to do for our department's record-label-type organization, being my hall's Hall Rep for Hall Council...
And on top of all this, I have my first Studio 2 project due relatively soon. Basically the assignment is: produce a song. So, my partner and I are recording her friend. He's got this musical theater-type song he wrote a couple of years ago, and we're having friends in our program play drums, bass, and guitar on it to back up his basic piano and vocals. Thing is, apparently the guitar sucked a few weekends ago (I thought the acoustic sounded fine, though we didn't get a chance to play electric because the program's guitars will not tune) so Cecile is booking/walking in for last minute sessions last night and tonight to fix that. I understand, but I'm her partner and the guitar player seems to know before I do about these. Last night I couldn't even go because of a Hall Council meeting. Tonight I have a shitton of homework to do. I'm going to have to either skip my lecture in the morning or not go to the session. Since I missed the session last night I feel really bad skipping the one tonight, but I just. do. not. have the time. I get about 10 minutes in my dorm after my flute lesson that starts about now before I have to come back up to campus for a record label meeting. Then I don't have time to go home before the session starts at 9:30 to midnight. When am I doing my homework? No clue.
I sound whiny, and I feel bad, it's just...I'm kinda upset that Cecile isn't telling me anything until the last minute. I didn't even get to hear the demo of the song until we started recording the drums and bass in our first session.
