Well I have braved putting a cover of Emeli Sandé's 'Read All About It' on YouTube including a vocal final chorus.

In reality a familiarisation of #Toontracks #EZMIX plugin in #CockosReaper DAW. I'm experimenting in preparation for trying to record my original songs at some point. So much to learn!

Today is Piano day again.🎹

However its also familiarise with my digital interfaces and mics day too with a view to getting some vocals onto my recordings in 2023.

Currently doing test recordings into #CockosReaper with:

1. #Presonus #Studio24C & #RedAudio Condenser mic

2. #Behringer #UMC22 & #Gear4Music SZM-11 dynamic mic.

Really not sure how best to treat a bass / baritone vocal and, like many others, I hate the sound of my own voice! I'm exploring #Toontracks #EZMix Vocals Toolbox.

I've switched to #UbuntuStudio, which is an #ubuntu version preconfigured for audio and video engineering.

This weekend is going to be an endeavour to see whether it supports all the #vst plugins I use for my music, notably #toontrack #ezdrummer and #ezmix.

If I succeed, I'll try and release an #opaquemass demo song on #bandcamp this month at https://opaquemass.bandcamp.com/ . Keep an eye out for it!
