Dana Studios Grand Opening!

okay, so that's not necessarily the name i've chosen for this dreamy new setup, but it is practical and literal so for now it'll do! the other night 'round midnite i set it all up, opened my very first pro tools session and tracked a song by my lonesome for the first time ever! quite exciting. the vocals are messy, the guitar is boomy and in general i was geared more around going through the steps than i was focused on putting on a good performance... nonetheless, the result is promising!

so, with no further ado, for your listening pleasure, my "first draft" (as it were) of my "first piece" (as it were) ever recorded in the history (as it stands at 72 hours of age) of Dana Studios (as 'tis):

Chocolate Covered Chimpanzebras

is the title of my new (and first) kids record! The songs have been written, the map's been laid out, the album art has been completed...

now it just needs to be recorded! and that endeavor is at hand.

just bought some brand spankin' new equipment (specifically a digidesign mbox2), set myself up a little studio at my office desk here and have just begun reading the pro-tools manual! and boy let me tell you something- that shyte is way over this little head! but that's okay because i'm determined to learn, and i just so happen to be married to a bonafide professional.

chocolate covered chimpanzebras are on the horizon, people! and that's just the tip of the popsicle stick if you know what i mean. stay tuned for updates...
