Another something..

I don't understand.
 
I read many posts upstairs about issues with old projects.
The way I think of projects is that there are only a few types;
One that I finished and I don't like.
One that I didn't finish because I didn't like it.
One that I'm working on.
One that I finished and liked, mixed down.
 
Out of those there is only one that matters to me- the one I'm working on.
 
I realize that somebody recording others have different issue/reasons but
as a solo type I can't think of one reason for me to be concerned about anything that's done. It's done.
If it wasn't done then big deal. I did it so I can start over and do it again fresh if the idea was worth the effort.
 
Maybe somebody can tell me what I'm missing so I don't just think those folks gears are slippin'....they sound like
somebody complaining just to complain.

    Hey Spacey,
    For myself, I may finish a song and put it away for months or years.  I might buy a new instrument or learn something that makes me want to tackle the song again.  For me, I never know when I am totally done with a song so I hope I can still work on the older ones when I want. 
     
    I am getting in the habit to transform all my midi tracks to audio so I dont' run into the issue of a plug being out of date. 
     
    So I can see why for some this might be an important issue.

    1.Adding an instrument to a song that one is not sure is done.
     
    That is a good reason.
     
    I haven't had a project that was held because I wasn't sure if it was done but I can sure
    understand how someone may.
     
    Now a new instrument....my wife wanted a mandolin so I bought her one. She got it and
    ask me to record a song with it. So I spent a couple of weeks learning how the thing worked
    and did BUT....if I had gotten me a new instrument I would have done the same thing...because
    it would inspire me to write and I don't have unfinished projects.
     
    Thanks Rimshot.

    I have unfinished things, but I do not fret or worry if they do not get finished or not. Sometimes, that one piece over there ends up inside somewhere else with a few different letters and words on it. 
     
    No big deal, but that is life for a writer, and someone that thinks they can script it all ahead of time and then follow it, I say they are a journalist, not a writer! Lacking soul, emotion and content!

    As a wise Guy once stated from his holy chapala ... none of the hits, none of the time ... prevents you from becoming just another turkey in the middle of all the other turkeys!
