Last night was a bit of frustration combined with exhilaration.
I had put together the recording equipment I had bought in the past few weeks. The setup looked rather crowded around the piano. But it all fit.
We had invited Wayne, a friend, over to try out the system with us.
We tried a few music clips and recordings of voices. They came in without problem.
Then the frustration began. I couldn’t get the voice of the one being recorded back into the headphones. As they sang they just had to guess how it was coming out. It had worked the other night.
I searched the manuals. Each reference took me to another page. Finally, after an hour I found the way to get sound back to the singer! Meanwhile, the singer(s) had been sitting around trying not to be impatient.
An hour or so later we stopped. We had a short eight track recording into the computer. There is still much editing to be done. But it worked!! Better than I had expected!!
A new CD isn’t going to be out tomorrow, but down the road look for a few samples! We’ll see where it goes from there!!
