video - song recording

Had a go at recording the song for the music I wish to make this morning. I was mainly trying to work with what i have at home, before I chose whether or not to take my geetar into college to record there.



This was the interface I have, it's pretty simple to use. Just plug in an go really. Only has mic input and output knobs and one mixing knob. And a button to change from mono to stereo.



This is the mic that has been forced upon me. I used to own a sweet sennheiser mic, but I lent it to a friend to use and he broke it. So they gave me this shitty thing in it's place. It's barely picks anything up if you turn the input just below full and when it's on full it picks up too much. I've recorded some stuff with it before, like this track me and my friend did here -

The sound is ok, but it seems too quiet for my liking. So today I've just been playing around with the level and various things within garageband. I may even purchase a new microphone if I feel the need.



I hung the mic from the light in my room as I don't have a stand. I think I'm going to have to wait until my house is empty to try and record something next time!!!
