very soon i'm going to be categorizing my days into project type for the evening.

as in, i have about four projects that i need to be working on and some casual relaxation interests that i want to take on again, and i think i need to start categorizing some of my evenings to devote to them.

...you can find the audio artifact/inconsistency in this video. it's subtle, but it glares out to me like a big zit, so i'm going to redo it before the game on thursday.

also could use some opinions on whether or not the end explosion is too out of context in terms of its volume, if i need to reduce the impact a little.

i'm kind of working on about five music projects simultaneously. Tulane's drumline show is going to be done by this weekend, and the rest of hermiston's show is going to be done by early next week. knocking those two off of my plate will be pretty good, and the downwords project doesn't have a strict deadline and i'm in pretty good shape on that ( Read more... )
