A New Tune!

Check it out! I just recorded another tune using my iPhone and the "Recorder" app... Check out the player to your right, and listen to "Glad All Over"... I'm a sucker for The Dave Clark Five, and although it is missing the usual DCF drum bombast, I think it's pretty good for one take on a iPhone's mic... (I did do two tracks, but I swear to you, each was only one take)... This might become a new hobby... One Take Oldies...

If you have any oldies requests, let me know in the comments section...

Beetle!

No, I'm not Sgt. Snorkel yelling at his least favorite recruit... I'm referring to the new car that Emma and I just purchased!

Check it out:
It's a 2006 New Beetle... We got a sweet deal on it! Certified used, still has 44k worth of warranty on it, it's got all the bells and whistles that could possibly be stuffed into it, and best of all, it's a 5 speed manual... Bang!

Check out some more pics here!

iPhone Recording Quality

Recently, I and my wife, Emma Linn, came into the possession of 2 iPhone 3Gs... I cannot remember exactly how we stumbled upon these devices, but somewhere in our various travels in and about town, we found ourselves with these two new telephonic devices...

Since the internet is chock full of information about the iPhone as a device, I shall not bore you (to tears possibly) with the details of the device itself, nor any of the standard software that comes included therein...

One noteworthy note of note, however, would be an application (or "app", as the kids call it these days) aptly named "Recorder"... It's 99¢... It does what it says... S'got a huge red "Record" button, you press it, it records... Done...

But! If you're at home (or when you get home) and your iPhone connects to the wireless network, you can then sync the recording to your computer wirelessly over the network... Bang!

Also, the recording quality (if you turn on the high quality setting) with just the built in iPhone mic is outstanding... If you don't believe me, check out my solo acoustic version of "Soldier of Love" on the player to the right. That's only the iPhone mic, a quick copy to Garageband to stereo-ize it and an export to iTunes... Sounds good!
