catsittingstill3 am recording continues apace in the blanket-fort. 3 songs yesterday and 3 today means 15 to go. Hoping to cut some pieces out of the sound files this afternoon to have my audiophile friends listen and tell me if they think the blanket-fort will do the trick.
If it is good enough I will probably go for it, and look into the rock-wool for the long run. The 3 am schedule is kind of tough--I can't really get back to sleep properly at 5 am--but I can handle it for a few days, and aside from the occasional train there aren't many interruptions. I am kind of froggy at 3 am, but I do the mando and octave mando work first, with lots of breaks between to drink water and by the time I'm looking at vocals I have been hydrating for an hour or so. I've been careful with my levels--peaking at -3 dB to -8 dB depending on the track, so hopefully the fridge sometimes turning on in the next room, and the insects singing outside won't be a problem. They seem to be down around -59 dB or so.
I have basically been doing very little else. When I'm not practicing for the next songs I want to record I'm wandering blearily around without a whole lot of oomph. But it should only be for a couple of weeks; I think I can handle that.
The only other thing (besides the sound quality issue which I will investigate today) I'm worried about is that I have been doing the easy songs first. So I may not be able to keep this pace up. We shall see.
