The goal for this week is to figure out how to get the best possible audio. It has been something of a saga. First I tried using my phone - and since I have an Android and Apple, I tried them both. The Android surprisingly won and I recorded 30 minutes of material with that. But then I tried using an SM57 into Audacity and it was quite a bit better so I rerecorded the same 30 minutes with that. And then I tried to top that with my full studio rig (SM57 into a GoldenAge Pre73, into a Steinberg UR22 into Reaper and ... whoa ... it was much, much better. So it looks like I'll be re-re-recording that same 30 minutes. I could probably do it by memory by now. What's that old adage...? Measure twice, cut once? Yup. About that...
(Why didn't I start with my full rig since I have one? A good question. I was hoping to not be tied to my studio. It would be way better if I could record anywhere, but, well, that's not gonna happen.)
