Recording vocals in my daughters' bedroom.

Tonight I'm recording some vocals in my daughters' bedroom. I've attached the microphone to the upper bunk, which just happens to be the right height.

I should probably be working on my Rural Education course at UVic, but the ladies are out and I have to jump on the apportunity to record in a quiet house. Usually the PS3 is on and the girls are running around and the dishwasher's going and whatnot; tonight the room is really quiet, even quieter than the room at the school.

So far I've made five gentle takes of "Last Love" and seven new takes to work with on "Shiver With Pride." I hope to pound out a few takes of "Business or Pleasure" and "Soothe Me" before I pack up all the stuff.

Recording vocals is inherently annoying. My voice is out of shape so I have to pick and choose from good takes all the time. However, I have to work with what I have. Right now, i have a limited amount of time and no access to professional rooms or equipment. So I do what I have to do.

In this case, it's a bunch of takes for me to mess with over the coming month.
