Long time no speak, internet. Hope you're all doing well in the first few hours of the Obama presidency!
I've been working and keeping warm through the snowy season, and I'm about three weeks away from my 23rd birthday. Just two more months after that, and spring is on its way.
This past Sunday, I finally set up the beginnings of a recording solution with my computer. I've started recording my practicing some, to get a feel for recording itself.
Hopefully I can start actually making things and not just mess around on the guitar when I'm bored, but I'm not there yet. I'll be uploading MP3s to Vox as I complete them.
There are 3 MP3s up right now, totaling just under 15 minutes. Different effects/settings are used on each file, but there is repeated material, mostly Melody of Lute from FF IV.
I'm mostly doing this for my own re-enforcement, but if anyone has musical/technical/general feedback I would be grateful for it.
The guitar is a Sigma CS-3 (nylon string) classical. The recording is through two Behringer C2 condenser mics near the sound hole, through a mixer to an external sound card's Line In. Software used is Ableton Live 7.
Also, Joe Biden was president for 5 minutes today. Those must have been the happiest five minutes of his life, narrowly edging out his victory over Little Mac
