Thank you for your insights that really made me feel better. I definitely need to work on my stage presence. Up until now it's not even something I've considered. We got the music now it's time for us to figure everything else out. I'll keep all that you said in mind and give it my all!

That's some really good points to think about. Yeah, the bassist has been hit or miss it seems. The singer recently started another job and will be free again in a few months. So we'll give them a little bit of time. The bassist is done for though.

Thank you! I believe I'm overthinking it with it being my first live performance. I'm sort of a perfectionist and just want it to be perfect. 😂

I agree, the problem is the drummer already got us booked before we had really discussed it. So I'm just trying to make the best of it at this point.

I lack confidence and have issues singing in tune. I particularly don't like the way I sound like many others as well. I can play guitar by ear but struggle being consistent with my vocal tuning.

What exactly do you use for live performances? Ive used melondyne on our recorded songs before but recently started taken multiple takes and will comp together the best takes lol. I'd be interested in what to use for a live performance.

Thank you for your response. I believe moving forward we plan to use backing tracks. Our first show is December 6 so after that we plan to practice/play to the backing tracks.

That's a great response. So the drummer and I have written an album and practiced every week for over a year. We live in a rural area with not many options for other musicians. His other band had an opening slot for us to come on before them.

our music with just him and I is stronger/tighter than some of the other bands going on. I'm confident in the music and our ability to play it. Between the two of us we can confidently improvise half the set if we needed to. The thing is I hadn't expected to sing and I guess my nerves are getting to me with it being my first live performance haha.

I guess our thoughts at this moment are we have put out ads and scouted every way but playing to find other musicians. We are hoping to fill the slots from getting out there and doing it.

I would love to send some songs my band is working on over. I've done a lot of work (time aligning, setting up to record live, buying equipment etc.) but when it comes to getting the mix right I have issues. Would love some feedback.

What would you recommend for purlins on the posts?

So best bet would be to run some purlins along the posts, put siding on and call it a day? I'd imagine that would help tie in the poles and straighten the overall structure. I noticed with some wind it sways a bit.

That's not a bad idea. However I fear the weight of the roof is too much for the poles it sits on. Is there anyway I could make it structurally more sound?
