Time to start my Carmilla time for the day! Diving into episode 14.

Tools available?

String sections, a couple of synths, 2 guitars, a dulcimer, a piano, music box, the reverb part of some hand bells, a solo violin, a solo flute, taiko drums, scraped cymbals, and an Oxford comma.

LFG!

It's time to start working on a new episode!

Step 1. Listen and enjoy.

Step 2. Listen again while marking it up with notes that wouldn't make sense to anyone else even in context (references to previous episodes, catch-phrase words, etc)

Step 3. Walk away and let it all percolate for a while.

Progress. Picked instruments out and set myself up in Reaper and Noteworthy. Setup always takes a while (especially if Reaper crashes a couple of times like today) but it's a great time for mulling over ideas.

And picking instruments means setting limits. Limits are the best.

My hair is also enjoying the break in heat and humidity!
