wait, what?

So, now that I have all the equipment working, I made a test recording today of a new mandolin instrumental (called "January") I've been writing, and got the equalisation drop-ins and such working, and did a stereo mixdown and export to figure all that out. And it worked, yay!

Then I threw it at a few people online to get reactions. I know the noise floor is still too high (that's why I need carpet, to build sound baffles) and it's kind of a sloppy playthrough, but I wanted to see what people thought, and how it sounded on other speakers, and, um, suddenly now [livejournal.com profile] ysabel is my first sponsor for my first CD, and my brain is all essploded! HI FAIRIES! Here's a shout-out!

i guess that means it's pretty good. omg

Yes, yes it's pretty good.

I asked if I could share it with someone for a reason.

And I still say that the slop, even in your quick test recording, is not something a non-musician will notice.

I was away from the computer most of the day so I missed you online, but I would have loved to have heard it. All progress is good progress, right? :)


Glad you're having fun with this!

Hi, I'm the other person [livejournal.com profile] ysabel shared this with and I wish to be your second sponsor. Is there a Paypal link or some such that I can use? Message me on the LJ messenger, svp.
