I was recording something using ng only keyboards yesterday and feeling a lot of despair because it was so hard for me and took me so fucking long to get the most simple parts down. Then I did the guitar part today and it took 20 minutes and sounds great and I'm just like ok. maybe recording isn't actually all that horrible when I'm playing an instrument that I actually can properly play

#like im just not a keyboardist like that unfortunately even though i want to use it a lot more in my music but . i think i need to either #continue to keep keyboard parts really simply and mostly use it for texture and keep things guitar based Or #i just have to practice 😭god like i wish i had taken piano lessons as a kid cos i just cannot play quickly at all like #i know my way around the keyboard i really love it for songwriting and building chords and writing melodies and things but #it takes me like 2 hours to record the most basssssic keyboard part just vamping on super basic chords and its like 😭😭😭😭#but what i keep doing and will continue to do is just cheat by #splitting it into like four different tracks which works for certain things you know if i just want to layer a bunch of different sounds #or like i have complex chords in my head that i want to play but i cant switch between them quicjly and cleanly cos i suck at piano so i #just frankenstein it but it takes SO LONG Z #but its unfortunate im 100x better at guitar because i just dont love the guitar. to be honest
