recording done crumble ate editing still

and how much better was it having edge there? as it happens he was just as bewildered by the DAT mess up as me and had it been working right i would have been fine with what i had, i was expecting him to move the mics a bit but we found that where i'd put them worked alright, fairly damn validating that was, but even given how alright i could have been without him, just sooooo much nicer and easier with him.

we salute you mr edge.

so i'm about to record it in to my computer, do a little editing, although really not very much, panning mainly... it means i get to hear them again, which i haven't really done too much of, (heavy on the italics i seem to be today), they were very much written in a playing way, a very dynamic, physical thing, different from what happens when you sit and just listen... that first 4 minute tune i am really loving, it went down very easily, as opposed to the last 4 minute tune, which was difficult, as i knew it would be, kind of frustrating to be that close to mastering it but to be just too close to the deadline to really get it, i'm going to have to do a little cutting and pasting on that one, i'm sure it'll work out alright but i so love the unity of just really getting it right and playing it all as one take,... learning process as ever, me and deadlines..

so, record before i sleep? 3am now, i ate my dinner only an hour or so ago, (me & eating in this kind of time, last thing on my mind), i could yet have a bath.... or of course i could just crawl into bed...

dr K made a damn good crumble
