I finally got my gear together and set up for recording. I have a spot in the garage sectioned off by cubical divider walls and everything is hooked up like it should be.
I recently bought the final needed pieces of the audio puzzle (a 16 channel mic D/A interface and new recording laptop).
Immediately I wanted to record something (anything) to see how it works and what the sound quality would be like.
Here is the result of one of my first 15 minute recording sessions. I basically hit play on the drum track and started playing. This is ONE TAKE, with no edits.
I categorize this as Smooth Jazz(ish) but perhaps someone has a better classification. If so, I would like to hear your thoughts.
I really like doing (non-edited) improvisational recordings like this because it very clearly shows what you do well and what needs work. When I listen to this clip I have mixed feelings. I think that some of the runs and scale structures sound pretty good. But then there are also spots that show sloppiness.
I guess that’s just the way it goes. Musicians are always in process.
Let me know what you think of the clip.
