Test run number 1

So, to do this project successfully, the studio is going to have to be set up and ready for me to start recording dead on 9am.  With that in mind I ran a test run at setting up the studio today.  It’s the first of at least two, but hopefully 3 test runs, so that I can make all the mistakes in those, rather than on the 9th!

The studio set up includes my brand new microphone, bought especially for the project, and is lovely and shiny and many many other things, all of them good!  If you’re interested in these things, it’s one of these: http://www.seelectronics.com/sE2000.html

The studio took about 90 minutes to set up, but considering I was setting it up for the first time, that’s not bad, and the amount of set up time will improve the more I practice.  I’m guessing that it’ll take about 45 minutes to set it all up, but there’s quite a bit of stuff that I can do the night before to prepare!

Anyhoo, to test the recording process I made a new recording of “Footsteps”, which an old song from my first solo album “Start From Scratch”.  I managed to record a decent sounding version within 30 minutes, so I’m a bit more confident that the 9 songs is doable.  I’ll be uploading the new version over the weekend, so check back and you’ll be able to download it!
