Something that brings a dose of reality

I have started recording myself and learning Garage Band.

Recording myself has humbled me quick.
I have heard all kinds of mistakes that I guess I ignored.
Should have started doing this years ago!!!!!!

Boy do I know THAT feeling!

I'm such a klutz I was never able to get a decent recording of myself using analog tape. I use Audacity now so it's possible to edit and, better, to erase/rewind more easily and accurately.

But still... my audio samples...none of them are one session wonders.

I just never realized some of the bad habits I picked up and never paid attention to.

Timing, muffled notes. Man listening to yourself is trial by fire.
