Back for Round 3 =)

Post by BradGray » Wed Jun 21, 2023 7:03 pm

Hey Passengers!

I'm back for round #3 w/ Taxi. I let my membership lapse last fall as I had a number of conflicting adventures, new role, primary DAW workstation died (I'm still angry w/ Dell), and just life. Still did writing and recording, with others too, but certainly noticed once the creative pressure was gone, the output was diminished. =P

That said, signed back up today, so technically this will be my third round w/ Taxi. Still will need to push for that first forward, and finally hit those goals I set out to achieve, but here's what I learned to date.:

Year 1 - I thought my music and recordings were much better than they actually were. Once I stepped over that line, I really started to create better work and become stronger (and more focused) at arrangements. =)
Year 2 - Made some good progress, and most importantly listened to my own work much more critically and objectively.
Year 3 - (well pre-year three) Upping my production game. Better w/ tools, and setup a far better mixing environment.

Anyway, thanks for reading along here. It's good to jump back into the fold. I'm exited at round three!

What did I miss? ;-)

Welcome back, Brad! Your journey sounds about like my own - three years in, starting to realize how much I still need to grow ;)

If it's a comfort, know that since 2020 I've gotten 8 forwards and 1 library contact. So if you want to aim for the low bar, you have company :lol:

I'm just aiming to pull my chin up over that bar finally, and see what's on the other side....probably higher bar =)

Thanks Alan!
