2022 RPM Challenge song number 13. I use GarageBand for all of my amateur recording needs. I use the MacOS version for recording real instruments and mixing and adding gobs of echoes and stuff. Sometimes I used the iOS version to kick off…

2022 RPM Challenge song number 15. Not too bad. I can live with most of it. The vocals are kinda spotty and I don't think I'll ever use the setup I used for the first guitar solo again (vibe after fuzz? Not this red head!) but I'm mildly…

2022 RPM Challenge song number nine. Simple. I like it. It started with me strumming over a drum loop and then developed quickly. I thought about leaving the bass and drums off, but wimped out. It's a little folkie, but not THAT folkie…

2022 RPM Challenge, song number eight out of (hopefully) 20. I liked this one a lot right off the bat. I even put a note on the trello card that this one might be the winner. I'm not so sure about that anymore, but I do like it. I dig how…

The first song worked on and the first song finished. The 2022 RPM Challenge is well underway! I had a few gimmicky ideas for this year's challenge and this song hits on some of them. First, I wanted to get away from the small room reverb…

Song #4 of the 2022 RPM Challenge. I like this one. If this were a real album and I had to pick a single for release this one would be on the short list. Even if it is in 6/4 time and GarageBand's drummers almost always put a pointless crash…

2022 RPM Challenge song number 17. Now we're talking. I like this one a lot. My self criticism are valid, the melody in the verse is too la di da sing songy, and I shouldn't have used a Big Muff fuzz pedal on the rhythm tracks (too much bass…

2022 RPM Challenge song #20 of 20! The fact that this is song number 20 is part of the story behind it. I was sitting on 19 and feeling pretty wiped out. I wanted to hit 20 just to say I had two RPM Challenge albums but nothing was coming…

2022 RPM Challenge song number 18. I still have two more songs to mix but as of right now this is hands down my favorite of the batch (spoiler alert, I think I might be saying that about the two songs that are left as well). Usually when I…

2022 RPM Challenge song number 19. Go to the head of the class, dude. I said that song #18 was the best song of the bunch but now here is song #19 taking the title and squashing 18 like the proverbial grape. In other words, I really like…
