Location: Utah | Brad, you'll find that there is some phase difference between the mic and the direct piezo signal. The mic signal will be about 1 millisecond delayed for every foot the mic is from the guitar. You can go into your software and nudge or drag the mic signal to the left to line it up with the piezo signal. If you don't get it just right, it will sound phasered or flanged, maybe weak and thin. You can listen as you nudge to find the sweet spot. |

Location: NJ | It's 6pm (mytime), and the song is "done".
Being that this song is also a birthday present of Jeanette (tomorrow), it was pretty much recorded without her "hearing" it (til tomorrow).
I recorded all the vocal tracks while she was outta' the house, and all of the "headphone"-stuff (like piano parts) when she was home.
She's come down thru my MusicRoom on her way to the laundry t'see me silently banging the keyboard with a pair of headphones on.
Sez I "look like a retard" . . .
GamePlan is to let her be the first to hear it (in the headphones) tomorrow after breakfast/presents. Then she'll be hearing it "ad-nauseum" Sat. afternoon as I mix everything thru the KRK's (ohboy,ohboy,ohboy . . .).
T'morrowNight were on our way to a "Supper Club" in AsburyPark for dinner & t'see Amy's band.
(oh yeah, . . . and Kim).
SundayMornin'll finish mixing, and it's off to Witko . . .

Location: Blue Ridge Mountains | Unfortunatly, after two weeks of trying, the new MOTU is still not recognized by the computer and so I'm without any recording means. Pending a miracle, no song submission from me: Hopefully next year.
Since I sold everything else to get this I'm now O.O.L.
Besides sending the MOTU back in for warrenty work, I'm looking into other means of hardware... |

Got an alternative site? |

My mailbox is 4GB and max incoming file size of 80MB, so should work OK.

This time I will zip it up which should reduce it down to 2-3 megs but be complete when you unzip it.
Song is 3:06 so it that doesn't match, let me know. |

Location: Phoenix AZ | Well it WAS 32MB but I edited out all the bum notes and got it down to 28MB !!!
No, it's fine. 3:06 on the money. For some reason it came out smaller.
Give me a call, I've got a question.

Location: Phoenix AZ | There should not be issues with how large file I can receive (I've got some BIG files in the last few days). Might be a limit on how much can go out from your side. Snail mail is OK.

and Dave.....thanks for trimming the fat (all the bum notes) from my file and reducing it by 4 mb. Course that means most of my singing has been removed! |

Location: Tennessee | Oh boy ... I got the main recording done on Saturday and yesterday we added an additional take with the hand percussion. I think we got the sound I was looking for. I have a new recording deck and did not have time to learn the device, especially the effects and the onboard mastering so getting the file onto a disc was a manual process at the end. But my whole family was around and participated in some forms or fashion, even if it was just moral support. This was a totally different experience for me ... instead of track on track by myself and stressing over each take, we convened the usual suspects and had to play the whole thing live and find a way to mic the room to keep it from turning all into mush. Essentially, I ended up with a live track on top of a live track with a total of 12 channels recorded. No overdubs, no tweaking, no punch-ins, no computer "nudging", no onboard effects processing or any of that stuff. There were no computers involved in any of the process. Just pure "hit the red button and play it as best you can". I got the room reverb and spatial effects from mic placement. I think it came out OK. It probably needs some compression ... maybe the producer can do that?
I will now import it into my computer and make a .wav file. It'll either be in Dave's inbox later today or his mailbox by Wednesday. |

Location: Latitude 39.56819, Longitude -105.080066 | I got my submission over to Dave over the weekend after many nights of fiddlin with it.
Last night.....I had such an empty feeling because when I went into the studio there was nothing to do (recording/touchup wise).
Dave, I think we need a new topic for the next CD (in 6 months-Winter/Christmas inspired maybe) so we can start working on it.
Withdrawal symptoms......ugly stuff! |
