Since we got serious, somewhat, and decided to work up songs and play gigs rather than just get together and jam I find myself in the role of bandleader and dynamics cop.
We played a party last Saturday and things went fairly well. We record stuff and our guys were talking via emails about how good it sounded. All I can hear is the room for improvement and what we are doing wrong. Hey there is a lot of good there but I hear the rhythm guitar overplaying, I hear him and the keys fighting for the same sonic space, I hear the mix should be more even, I hear guys singing harmony that are carrying notes beyond the lead singer's or coming in randomly or singing to loud and not blending in.
I don't want to let it go because we can be a lot better. I don't want to piss everyone off.
Just venting here a bit trying to get my thoughts together before our next jam Monday evening.
