More Spit Demos
I’ve added a whole bunch of songs to the Spit webpage. Chris & Amanda came over last night and recorded a bunch of songs while the kids remained largely distracted by the playstation. Superb stuff, though I had problems using the minidisc/pre-amp setup, this time downstairs where I managed to get it working before. It *must* be a loose connection in the pre-amp, somewhere. Just has to be. Anyway, we managed to get a couple of songs recorded using the shotgun mike, which has a different pre-amp (who’s batteries were almost run-out, thus explaining the rather low sound levels). Anyway, I’m very happy with the results. We’re going to do some more recording this weekend.
And, Ev’s minidisc of Spit goodness arrived. Unfortunately, I set the playback level too high when recording these to mp3, so a couple of the songs have level problems (crackly sounds). I’ll redo them tonight, hopefully.
All in all, I’m just a bit overwhelmed by it all – the quality of Spit stuff is just amazing at the moment…
Ted
Ted dropped over as well and acted out the major plot-points of “Star Trek: Nemesis” complete with howls. He also dropped over the “magicdog”, a big paper-mache dog-thing with mirrors embedded in it. I kinda like it, but Anna wants it put where nobody could possibly see it. Fair enough.
