… to sleep right through the cacophony of a racket that goes on here 6 days per week between the hours of 07:30 and 08:10. There’s a whole procession of different kinds of alarms and so on, and yet I noticed not a one.<\/p>\n
In fact, had Rosemary not rung me up at 09:30, I would probably still be asleep even now.<\/p>\n
And I’ve not been out of the house all day today (except for the usual reasons). I’ve been a busy little bee.<\/p>\n
I need a live concert for the radio programme that we are recording on Monday, and I’m struggling here at the moment. However salvation appeared in the form of a group of whom I bought a handful of CDs earlier in the year. Each CD was padded out with a live “bonus” track and when I added up the length of the live tracks, it came to 52 minutes or thereabouts. <\/p>\n
However, I’ve been practising quite a lot with this Audacity sound engineering program just recently as you know, and my technique is improving rapidly. I was able to pick a studio recording of another track 5 minutes long and overdub it with applause and voices and so on so that it sounds like a genuine live track, and then engineer and mix all of the tracks together to make a seamless live concert 57 minutes long, and you can’t hear any of the joins. I’m well-impressed with this. <\/p>\n
So that was my Saturday – I’ve done nothing else. Although it did take absloutely ages to engineer this concert. Tomorrow, I’m having a Day of Rest.<\/p>\n
