Giving myself a crash course in Garage Band so that I can create a 20-min sound design for my directing class project by TOMORROW MORNING: not the most fun thing ever.
This is kinda like teaching myself to vid, except way less fun. I don't want to be a sound designer. And finding the precise sort of subway sound effect is not fun, either.
If I'm going to be neurotic and finicky and listening to the same sounds over and over and over again, I'd much rather be working on a vid. Between theater and fandom, I've come to realize that I'm a very visual person. I deal in images -- even writing is really just translating images into words. Working purely with audio bores the pants off me. Possibly this is why I've never been much into music except as mildly amusing background noise.
I'm not getting any sleep tonight, am I.
