FRUSTRATION!

I finally had the house to myself Sunday. I set up a makeshift enclosure to keep out background noise on my AT2020 USB mic, and with the house quiet, I thought I could *FINALLY* record some voice-over demos, right? Well...THIS Sunday, everyone in the neighborhood had to be mowing their grass...and the constant low hum of the lawnmower engines is on ALL my demos. Yes, I suppose I would be able to filter out the low-frequency noise, but my big selling point is my bass-baritone voice, so whatever measures I would take would have a detrimental effect on the end result. Clearly, I am going to need to rent some studio time. So much for doing this on the cheap.

Let's do this!

I now have all the tools I need to start recording voice demos; now all I need is a quiet house to do it (easier said than done). This has been a long time coming. Lord willing, it begins happening in 2012.
