*Boring horn content ahead*
So I've been continuing the relatively minimal warm-up routine, and so far it's been going pretty well. Not only does it give me more time to play other rep, but I do feel more relaxed and playing does seem easier overall.
I've restarted going over the rep for the CD I need to make, and some it's going pretty well. Although I'm going to have to go over to the school (or some other reasonable-sized room) to actually do the recording (and most of my practicing, if possible) since there are no rooms in our house big or live enough to record. Even using some programs and trying to add reverb or EQ will only make it sound like a horn played in a small room but with reverb, which sounds dumb. It stinks, but I'll be able to find someplace to record somewhere.
Overall though, I'm pretty pleased with the results in just the past few weeks.
The rest of life is going well too. I've finally got a respectable portion of my CD's on my new ipod, and it's great for road trips and working out. Jessica and I have also both gotten restarted working and stuff, since income always helps after Christmas. So things are starting to get back to normal after Christmas.
