Hello again, Hive, I hope everyone is having a fabulous Saturday!

Today, I'd like to share with you another one of my rough recordings with the fancy mic setup I used in Rough Cuts #2. I was able to get the room mic up high enough that it was off-camera for this recording, and I think it did a better job of capturing the sound overall, but the vocals had a bit less pizazz in the midrange.

My little knock on the guitar, which I usually cut from the videos, is a trick I use to make it easy to synce the video with the audio. The knock makes a nice little peak at the beginning of the track, which makes them super easy to line up:

It seemed weird to cut the messed up beginning after leaving in the knock, and this song still comes in under 3:30 with the mistake left in, so...

Besides, these are supposed to be rough cuts, aren't they?

Hope you all enjoyed! I'm nearing the end of these early videos that I recorded, and can't wait to get to work on something even better to share!

If only I could strum a guitar, I'd serenade Pura with some chords rather than jokes and she wouldn't have to courtesy laugh.

Forget the guitar, it's the singing that really melts the ladies. You just need to joke a little more melodically.
