File Vault

:: I'm now working on getting all my files consolidated in one easy-to-locate source. If you look at my links section in the right-hand column, you can see a new link titled File Vault. This links to another website of mine that hosts all my music and audio work in nice neat Flash players. It's a work in progress; I'll continue to post new work on here first along with my stories and descriptions about that work's creation.

Here is the link again, for redundancy's sake:

From last year

:: Here's just another clip from a project last year in Intro to Audio. I recorded with Digital Performer and never got around to mixing or even bouncing any rough copies at all. So, here's a rough copy. I didn't do much to it, and I had to use some crappy earphones for monitoring, but at least it's not rotting away on my long lost hard drives and server folders and whatnot. Hopefully I'll soon be able to put up some clips of all my ORIGINAL sound files, just raw audio with no mixing or anything, so you can actually hear how I've changed them and mixed them to turn into the songs I've posted so far ::

UPDATE: File is now only available at http://musicianator.web.officelive.com/default.aspx

When engineers attack!

:: This is a truly unfortunate recording right here. This was my tenth week project from fall quarter, and it's...well, it's not something of which I'm entirely proud. But hey, it's something I've done, and I feel a certain obligation to my few loyal readers to post it on here.

So basically the band that I was going to record didn't show up. No big deal, whatever. My partner Max and I were basically forced to record ourselves. The parts you hear are the only parts there are: me on drums, me on piano, me on vocals, and Max on bass. The drums were miked with the M/S setting on a Shure Viper overhead and a spot on the kick; the piano was miked by setting the Viper to stereo and adding in a cardioid to try a real M/S stereo miking position; the bass was done with a single large diaphragm in front of the amp; and the vocals were actually achieved by me strapping on a binaural headset (Dr. Normar) and walking around as I talked. Enjoy ::
