fun toys for recording
Well my daughter, the computer whiz, installed our sound card today. Our 4-track recorder is now hooked into it all, so we should be able to record and dump it into the computer for mixing and burning to a CD. Notice I said “should.” It is very complicated and frustrating. Luckily, Dick is pretty good at mixing the sound on the 4-track and I’m generally pretty good at the effects, etc. I can usually figure out computer stuff, too. I guess we’ll see. Hopefully, we should have some sound bytes on our website soon. The sound card we have is E-MU. I only have outdated software as an extra, so if anyone has any good advice on how to use all of this or recommendations for a good software package, please pass it on. As overwhelming as it feels right now, I’m actually looking forward to figuring it all out.

The youngsters and computers–absolutely amazing. Thane is 2 1/2 and told me wanted to watch Sesame Street. I set him on the desk chair, and incredulously watched him play games.Amazing. Not surprised at your daughter’s abilities.
