Day Fifty Three

Another day in paradise.  Today I worked on my corn hole project, bean bag toss to the squeamish.  The boxes are assembled and primed, ready for the final paint.  I'm not sure what kind of color scheme to go with, something unique and eye catching is what I'm going for.  I'll post a picture of my finished project when I get it done.  I'm sure the orders will be rolling in!
    I also worked in the studio some, re-doing some vocal tracks.  I'm still in the process of dialing in this new mic.  I've been working with an Audio Technica 4050 for quite some time, and it really is a great mic.  But the Nemann TLM 49 has a entirely different sound.  So I have to unlearn my old techniques and start over, and you know what they say about old dogs.  But I'm getting there.  Another couple thousand hours of engineering and I'll almost know what I'm doing. 
  Until tomorrow, here's your daily words of wisdom:

Day Forty Two

  I was called into service again today on another mission to Palm Beach.  I haven't yet had a change of heart about that place, it still gives me the willies.  I've decided if ever I accidentally become wealthy, I wont flaunt it.  That's just so tacky.

    On the musical front, I'm awaiting the word that my new mic has been shipped.  I've got those waiting on the  E-bay blues.  I'm looking forward to firing that baby up.  Let's hope it meets my expectations.

   I worked on one of my latest creations today, I thought some drums would work well on this tune, so I hunkered down with my computer and put together a drum track.  I'm not well versed at this kind of stuff, but I think it came out pretty well.  I really need to have a drummer come in and tell me what I did right and what's totally screwed up.  Constructive criticism is always a good tool.   

   I guess that's it for today, here's your daily words of wisdom:

Only when the last tree has died and the last river been poisoned and the last fish been caught will we realise we cannot eat money.  ~Cree Indian Proverb
