brewing songs + thursday at DUST

Hey all, we've been cooking up a few new tunes. One, called Sassy Skeleton, is gonna be a killer, and we worked on another one tonight called Luigi Bored.
Minus a few cables, I think we've got everything we need to record in the basement, except for the how-to, I guess. Anybody out there have a manual for Digital Performer 4.something?

Oh, and everybody should go to Dust to see Worn in Red and A Cosmonaut's Ruin this Thursday. I have to be at work by midnight, but you can be sure I'll be there for some of the show.

learning DIGITAL RECORDING

Well, I've stumbled into another pastime. Recently I realized that we have, sitting in our basement, a powermac G4 and a MOTU 1296 with the needed soundcard already installed in the computer. I think we'll need a pre-amp, although who knows- we've got a mackie mixer that I THINK can do 8 channels of preamped stuff.

Anyway, I have a break from work coming up, and I plan to learn as much as I can about digital recording. Hopefully I can get some of this stuff running before I have to go back to the night schedule. I think it was willed by god or something, because tonight one of my co-workers brought a book up to the desk that she had found: "Digital Audio Workstation: Mixing, Recording, and Mastering on your Mac or PC" by Colby Leider. I think I'll read it, then bring it back to the lost & found.

Oh, and I'll try and do more on the cd case design.

priceless...

I just had to share.
