I originally recorded Shannon's Road playing
my Peavy Briarwood™
using a single condenser microphone hooked up to a Sound Blaster Live™
card in an Athlon™
based computer running Windows XP Pro in the house my great grandparents had
lived in and has been in the family since 1924. Not a clean mix nor the best way
to do it but it gave me a good reference recording What a mouthful. I had written the song in parts and never sang it through till I recorded it. What amazed me was when I finished singing was the song was 6 minutes and 43 seconds long. Strange...it really didn't seem that long while singing it and it still doesn't seem that long listening to it... I played it for several friends and a bunch of strangers and so far everyone seems to like it and wants me to do a studio quality recording of it. I also passed a Creative Lab's Muvo around a bar with some napkins to vote on whether they liked it, needs work or if it sucked. Picking up the napkins later the song got all " I like it" votes and also some phone numbers from a couple of different girls at the bar. Sorry ladies, I respect the offers but I think maybe you had a little too much to drink at the time. Maybe later if we meet again without the liquor we can try again. Did I keep the numbers? No, I respect peoples privacy too much to be a strange voice on the phone that they can't remember the next day. |
