Tracks

[mdlbear]

Worked after dinner (Mexican) on "Guilty Pleasures". The whistle really works. Revised my bass cut filter a little to get more of the boomy bottom string, and remixed to put my vocals in the center now that I have the whistle to balance the guitar. Still need to punch in one chunk from an earlier take (the break after the first verse), and get Jordan to do a real drum track. Other than that it's pretty good. Results so far: [ogg] [mp3]. Comments?

I can definitely hear further into the low end, even with my ancient ears, using the good soundcard. I'd probably hear it even better if I were in the same room rather than at the wrong end of two isolation transformers and 80' of cat5. Fortunately, now that I have the guitar EQ down pretty well I can get by on dead reckoning and eyeballs; I'll leave it in the bedroom studio until I'm done recording. Probably ought to take a day off for that. The new fan in Harmony is quieter, but higher in pitch. We'll see. Might have to replace the whole cooler, which would be annoying.

Progress is disappointingly slow, but it's happening. If I can actually sustain an average of two tracks/day I'll be done recording and mixing by this time next week.
