Doin' great so far!
Apr. 26th, 2005 07:04 pmOkay, so I agreed to do this transcription project for ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
windelina. And I managed to get a recording of the song, which was kind of a stupid affair. (Thank you, Itunes, for being stupid.) And then I actually managed to locate my staff paper. Kind of a feat, since I don't remember the last time I used the stuff. (Ah, the digital age.) And then, since staff paper and music notation is one of those things that even I, a stern ink-over-graphite adherent, will acquiesce really, really needs to be done in pencil. It's just the way it is. And I find a stubby Ikea golf pencil to get me on my way. And then I plug in the Kurzweil for some reference. Oh, right, not plugged in. Find power cord. Oh, no audio. Okay. Find audio cable. Okay. Sound. Recording. Partial sheet music. Staff paper. Pencil. We are ready to ROCK. What do I do? I get not even one measure in, and I need to erase. (Self, we decided to do 3/4 and not 6/8, that needs to be a half note.) Whose house doesn't have one, one pencil with an eraser on? That'd be mine. Not in my desk drawer. Not in the pen cup. Not in with the art stuff.
Jesus.
I'm off to a really brilliant start with this thing.
