Inspired by my friend Sonora (landlord's daughter, not my cousin's daughter for those confused family members reading this post), I decided to create a Facebook fan page for my music. I had already put a "tab" on my personal profile page with some of my music and pictures, info, etc. but this will allow people who aren't my friends on Facebook to check out my music and become a fan.I also recently created a CD containing several of my songs which I recorded using a sweet little digital recorder I received for Christmas a couple years ago. It is the most handy little gadget! I entitled it, "Acoustic Demo Album", though it contains some 14 songs. I suppose demos typically have less, but due to the recording quality I wanted it to be clear it was a demo and not full production.
After getting my new Macbook Pro set up, I was determined to make some better recordings. However, this process was hindered when my mic interface was discovered to only work via cardbus... The unit itself connects to the cardbus adapter via firewire cable, and my Macbook has a firewire cable... But the company specifically instructed me that the unit will in no way work (and may even be damaged) if connected only via firewire cable.
So I am left without a way to connect my mic to my computer... Still. It works with my old PC laptop, which is slower than a dead snail trapped in a box, but for obvious reasons I don't want to go that route. Plus my recording program on my PC was going haywire last time I used it. Using the internal mic on my laptop is no good either - My piano sounds dreadful (partly because it needs to be tuned).
Back to the drawing board on recording... So for now it is acoustic demo made on digital recorder and the occasional recording done at church. I know it will all work out in God's timing and I'm not in a hurry. I am happy that I have been faithful with what He has given me so far, and know that in His time He will give me more. :)
Until next time... Signing off!
