Dear Landlord

So I've decided to keep an audio blog for a while. My first effort is below, a quick run through of Bob Dylan's "Dear Landlord."

I'm aiming to post at least a song each week. I'll lean towards simply guitar and voice at first while I get the hang of my recording device, then venture into more ambitious stuff here and there.

Geeks: I'm using a Foxtex MR-8mkII. It's an 8 channel digital recorder that uses CompactFlash. It has a couple of big limitations: first that it can only record to two channels at once, and second that it has no onboard eq at all. I've got a couple of MXL mics that came with it and can send a stereo .wav of the mastered track to my computer via USB (or even the individual tracks as mono .wavs if I want to). Once on the computer, I'm using Audacity to clip and clean and convert to mp3.
