My recording of Secret Journey by The Police has suffered from a couple of very annoying glitches since I first released it a couple of years ago – clicks and pops in the vocal tracks, and a poor bass performance.
I’ve just updated it, with a new bass track and rerecorded vocals. I think the result is a smoother and slightly more polished recording.
Let me know what you think.
At 3:34 EDST.
Unfortunately, those of us in the Northern Hemisphere will miss out.
Announcing yet another eBay sale. This time, it’s guitar parts.
Two bridges, a body with a bridge, various hardware, pickup selector switches, and three Seymour Duncan humbucking pickups.
It seems we cannot be plugged in all the time, or else we risk developing a form of ADD.
My 8-year old Mac G4 desktop, which forms the core of my home studio setup, has been dropping hints that it’s preparing to head up to the Great Computer Junkyard In The Sky any time now.
So, I’m preparing to revamp my multitrack/MIDI recording equipment.
Although the Mac is probably of little value to anyone, now, I am offering for sale on eBay a couple of pieces of recording gear that are still quite viable, especially for someone looking to get started with good quality hardware for very little monetary outlay:
These are great entry-level tools that work with just about any PC or Mac desktop, and should offer years more of service.
In the interest of making my Music page a little more accessible, I’ve set up a Flash streaming music player, and put the music downloads on a separate page.
This seems to be the season of completing old songs. I just put the finishing touches on a latin-style instrumental I wrote back in 2004. I named it Tonight I Can Write after a Neruda poem. It’s sort of a companion piece to Cancion de Donna; both songs were influenced by Incendio and by Chris and Meredith Thompson‘s wonderful song Neruda, off their Clearwater album.
Rolling off that fresh Spring energy with another new instrumental, Melek Taus.
This one was tricky to mix – I seem to have selected sounds that occupy a lot of the same bandwidth, so I had to do some careful EQ’ing. Still a tad muddy, but I think I’ll leave it alone for now.
