Demon Lover [ogg]
Silk and Steel [ogg]

I honestly can't tell how these came out -- there's a lot of background noise that I don't think is there in the mix, but whether it crept in during the encoding or it's an artifact of my soundcard or speakers is hard to say without a comparison. Feedback, please.

Put down preliminary versions of Guilty Pleasures and Silk and Steel. Neither is anywhere near good enough to keep, but I'll put up oggs later this weekend for those interested. And I need to put up a version of Demon Lover, and a scan of the sheet music, so folks can practice against it ( Read more... )

cflute is in town for Baycon, and came in a day early (on Wednesday, always a dangerous time). She stayed at the Starport last night, and this evening she put down a flute track to "Cicero in the Twenty-First Century". Sounds good; I'll try to have an ogg up soon, but I've been a trifle busy.

One copy of this test burn was sold in the Interfilk auction; the rest are being used for "promotional purposes." Sorry, you can't buy one.

Also had chaoswolf listen to my microphone ( Read more... )

OK, I now know that my toolchain works. I have succeeded in burning a playable CD (8 tracks, 22:49:08 total; the :08 is blocks) with the working title "Is This Thing On? Testing..." Sounded decent, modulo a couple of tracks where the volume was too low, and a couple of flubs ( Read more... )

When nothing much was going on in the living room today, I ducked into the office and did minimal editing on the tracks I've recorded so far, and exported .wav files. I'm not going to have time to burn a test CD tonight, but things are looking hopeful for later in the week ( Read more... )
