I'm enjoying the challenge of streaming Playerunknown's Battlegrounds (PUBG) and trying to get on the leaderboards.

I'm also enjoying recording ideas on guitar in Reaper (DAW). Doodling onstream has been enjoyable.  I kind of get lost in it. 

I streamed 9 hours yesterday, 10 hours day, and will be streaming tomorrow.  I've got to stream as much as possible.  I really have no other income, and have been too sick to work for so long, and get sick everytime I go play poker.

I want to plan on some "show" streams for guitar/music, a musical journey, if you will. 

I want to stick with writing and recording music on a regular basis.  Thinking about having one day a week where I write a whole song, both lyrically, and musically.  (probably on separate days)  I've always wanted to write songs for movies and such, so it would be cool to focus on that.

I also need to CREATE content for YouTube that will help both Guitar and Games.  Along those lines, I need to keep blogging more regularly.  All of it tied together should help the "brand" get off the ground and reach more people, and retain more people!  This is what is needed to support myself from home and being happy CREATING. 

It's time to schedule my "streaming programming" for what I watch during downtime, more music videos, more learning, less "tv" as it were.

It's late, and I have lots of work to do tomorrow, so I better get to bed.  Someone prompt me to write more on these blogs :P

Van Halen - Eyes of the Night (Dec. 1976)

A "virtual" album, but a must listen for any Van Halen fan, or anyone wanting to know more about the band (such as they younger generation)

Moog Taurus 3 Bass Pedal Synth

I have wanted a set of these ever since Yngwie's first album :)

Sound Quality

     I used to make my minimum sound quality for playlists or posting videos from YouTube (or mp3s) cutoff at 360, but lately I'm noticing quite a bit of difference up to 480 and higher, so that is my new minimum, whenever possible.  Occasionally, you will see a 360 in a post or playlist, because it was the best I could find at the time, and I didn't have time to record it better later from my personal collection, but if you see anything you'd really like in higher quality, remind me, and I'll add it to the ripping/encoding/uploading list.

     It seems to me, that analog is still the best sound quality, until you get up to 720HD where the difference is finally very marginal, yet the harmonics and overtones are still going to be better on high quality analog over high quality digital.  It also helps to get headphones or speakers with significant range over the 20hz to 20khz "standard" range that many silly companies believe is enough for the majority of listeners.  I strive for 12hz and Lower to 24khz and Higher.  After this stat, I look for build quality, and things like "wire shielding", so that what I get will sound as good possible, for as long as possible.

     As I start recording more, I'm sure I'll make more posts in this regard.
