The Resurrection...of Sorts

For those of you who read this and know much about me, I bought some recording software about 4 years ago - ProTools and the Digi 002 Rack.  Well, I used it best I could, took it to Baylor with me, and then about a year and a half ago, it died.  My "killer rack" just wasn't working.  I was very upset, seeing that my $2,200 investment just went ka-put.  I decided to get it fixed last week, and decided I should plug it in to remind myself just what was going wrong...

I plugged everything up, and TA-DA! it worked!  I was so excited.  So now, I am working on relearning ProTools and such.  It's amazing what I am recalling from my Recording Technologies class.  I am already hearing a difference in the quality of my recording.

Now it is just a matter of time - time to write, time to record.  Life is very busy, but I have managed to get a couple ideas down and started.

I guess there is some money involved too.  I need to upgrade to PT 8 from 6.9.2.  I also would really like a better mic.  I have my eyes on a Shure SM57 - it's in my price range, and it does a good job with guitar amps and vocals, which are what I record the most.  It's a good thing I'm not short on cash...oh wait, I am.

All this to say, please encourage me to keep working on writing (music, not blogs) and recording.
