Myself
I have started full-time employment again as a Laboratory Assistant for PPI Pty Ltd at Geebung QLD. They manufacture Polyethylene Pipe for industrial, Agricultural and Domestic use as well as Garden hose. I help Q/C their pipes for consistency in quality etc it is very interesting and enjoyable and the people I work with are all very nice and friendly and easy to get along with.
So my free time is now very limited but the money makes up for it a bit. Also I am occupied during most of the day so I don't dwell too much on the loss of Sasha, which I am finding is still quite painful..................
Nektar -: The guys are currently working on their new album, and is sounding really good, but "different again" as quoted by Roye Albrighton. Nektar are currently touring Germany....for more info click here
Kate Bush -: The new album "Aerial" has finally been released and available for download form I-tunes, I have already heard the first track, called "King Of The Mountain", excellent :), it may have been released a single last year in some countries.
My Music
I have started to do some recording again, as I can afford to purchase new strings for my guitars now, this little problem had stopped me in my tracks, No point recording with dead sounding strings. :) My new song I have been working on will be changed a bit again as per name and some lyrics as it will now be dedicated to both Lilly and Sasha who both brushed their feathers against my life time leaving me with untold love for both of them.
I found out why my timing is so far out in the song! There is some latency in recording time with the Samson G-Track Microphone.
The test track below had the midi drums and metronome recorded from the out put of the PC sound card and recorded back into a separate track via the G-Tracks - you who think that both tracks would be synched but they do not. The first part of the example below starts with just the midi track and metronome, then I turn the recorded audio track on and you can here how much the timing has shifted in the recording. This will get worse when you decide to record vocals or Lead guitar or another rhythm guitar if you follow the recorded rhythm guitar track which is already out and the error will be compounded again on top of this. So you either have to follow the metronome or midi track or shift any recording left a fraction after each recording you do with this microphone, very similar problems occur when recording midi in real time, there will always be a slight delay in the recording which has to be adjusted.
