Well THAT'S Interesting.

So today, about an hour into Vocal Jazz practice, the lights started flickering.  I was a little concerned because audio equipment and fluctuating power do NOT mix well.  I had also seen a few signs around saying that the power to the building would be cut off that morning for an hour, presumably to switch over to the new looking service drop to the building.  All of a sudden, someone bursts into the room and says "uhh... the building is on fire.. the generators are sparking... get outside!!!!"  So I grab my backpack (with laptop, obviously) and head out the front.

So I just took the mp3 that went into the FB video for this song and ran it through some stuff in FL Studio (Maximus, FL Limiter, and an EQ) to try to make it sound better.

Holy Crap.  In two weeks I will be in Beijing China!  Lake Effect has been invited to perform at the International Society for Music Educators conference.  If you're going to be around, we perform on August 4th at 1:30 pm in the Chinese National Convention Centre Auditorium and on August 5th at 1:00 pm in the CNCC Function Hall C.

VJ Cabaret 2010: Holy Crap

| No Comments
Let me just say that this is the LAST TIME I run a cabaret show like I did this year.
The root of our problems stemmed from the fact that our two (distinct) recording systems were only capable of handling 24 tracks each.  24 tacks - 19 vocals = not enough left over for everything else.  Luckily I found a few different ways to hack things together so I could use both recording systems at once.
