MAY 9
I had originally planned to be in the studio two weekends ago for the mixing and mastering of the new CD. I was actually sitting in the studio with Doug, ready to go. We talked about the background noise on the tracks with an open mic (mainly, on the vocal tracks), and we decided (I decided with his gentle urging) to rerecord all the vocal tracks. The noise was due to the ADAT (the 8-track digital recording machine) recording (via the open microphone) its own lousy whirring self. Doug came down to my apartment and rearranged my studio so that the ADAT was in the studio near the door, and so that I could extend the microphone into another room to record. The wires go under the doors, and I shut the doors. So as long as there is quiet in the apartment building, I can record with very little background noise. Of course, as befits a moron, that other room is the bathroom: I sing while standing in the tub, and I always have to remember to turn off the toilet before recording, lest the sound of the water refilling the tank every 30 minutes or so (due to some less-than-perfect seal) be heard....My Savior, the King of the Universe, was born in a feed trough, so I can make no legitimate complaint....Lord willing, I'll be back at Cyberella next weekend with some improved vocal tracks. I still have many to go.
