I looked into the 50/90 challenge but I feel like it’s more geared towards quantity of songs. With the challenge I’m about to start, I can really dig into an idea and work with it over the course of 5-10 minutes if I feel like it could go somewhere and instead of that just counting as one song, it could be up to a third of the project. I really want to focus on quality with this project.

I do think that the 50/90 challenge would be a cool thing to try out but probably not for the style I want to experiment with in this project.

Thanks!

Have you considered taking a stab at the 50/90 songwriting challenge? It’s hosted over at the FAWM website and it’s going on around the same time. I’d suggest checking that out. It’s lots of fun!

Comment on Technology changes too fast! :: Zoom H4n by daftnotstupid

I agree – the new H4n sounds great. I like that you can now date and time stamp recordings. The clip on the battery lid on mine is broken and I need to use a pen knife to open it, so I’m seriously thinking about getting the new one.

By the way, I upgraded the firmware in my H4 and now it can support 8GB SDHC cards – maybe bigger even, but that’s the biggest I have. You can download the f/w update from the zoom support site
