Album announcement at the end. :)

I've worked on this song for way too long.  It was mostly finished way back in January, or so I thought at least, I think I ended up reworking several large chunks of it periodically throughout the month until the pieces started to fall into place.

Sometime shortly after that, I had an idea:  I could take some of my best songs, remaster and re-render them, and compile them into an album.  I could then use the new song to promote the album on YouTube.  Great plan, right? 

Well, putting together the album turned out to be a little more work than I thought it would be.  See, most of my old project files are on my old computer, which in of itself isn't much of an issue. However, a lot of the plugins/samples I used to use I've since moved over to my new computer,  leaving my old projects half-broken.  I tried just copying them over to my new pc, but the project paths were broken and plugin presets were missing and it was just a headache overall.  

So, I did what I usually do when problems get overcomplicated and frustrating.  I proceeded to engage in Olympic-levels of procrastination.  

Sometime in the later half of March, I started working on sorting out all my old samples and plugins.  Took a while, but I got it done eventually.  I then moved on to fixing all the old project files themselves.  I worked on that throughout April, and finished up around a week or two ago.

It's all finally done though.  The song is done, the album is done, and my workspace is far more organized than it was before.  I don't even know what else to say, I'm just glad to be finished with this project and excited to move on to something new.

Thanks for listening to my rambling.  Until next time.
