FIG Vocals, NT1

Hardly a thing done today. Woke late, and tweaked some BlueSky elements; following those who have followed me etcetera. Deb arrived at 13:30 to record the vocals to 'Mr Tambourine Man' and 'Crumpsy Madpash'. We then went to some shops for Christmas browsing and a few errands.

It's been one of my worst years for money but I've decided to buy a Rode NT1 mic; apparently the world's most popular large diaphragm condenser mic. Until now I've used the (actually more expensive) NT3, which is wonderful, actually, and has a similar spec to the NT1, but it can't easily be isolated or shock-proofed, and casual knocks occur frequently.

Tonight I've printed words and music for a Red Cow performance tomorrow, a first live music event in many months.

My main immediate job is to work on music videos for Dusty. These are easy to make in Argus if I make a certain type of animated video. More complex videos, such as those which involve myself, take a few days, and many songs here ideally need that sort of video.

My hearing remains poor. I still can't hear well enough to mix anything, or enjoy music. The latter saddens me most.
