strat0tele said:That is my largest limitation. I currently have enough gear to record what I want in a good fashion, but living in my parents house that is terribly small with the bedrooms next to each other I can never record. My mom works nights and dad works days so, at any given time someone is sleeping except between 1-5pm. And I will never record vocals at that time because i'm too self consious to sing with them around. So I can record 3-4 hours a day but I can never do my vocals, which takes lots of time for me considering how much I suck at it. So I basically end up putting whisper tracks of crappy vocals, to remind myself the vocal melody for a later time, but by that point i'm not motivated to finish it and end up finding so much more wrong with the song. ITS A VICIOUS CYCLE!
I definitely hear you about the whole self conscious thing. It's one thing singing/laying down vocals around people who aren't your family. But when it's your close relatives or parents it's kinda weird...it's like you aren't totally comfortable with it. I've come to the conclusion that I have to either find a place of my own or maybe find some cheap office space around the area and set up shop there....because my current location is REALLY putting a damper on my productivity.
