Technical details

in answer to questions about the technical process of recording and posting my daily improv log:
i'm recording at my grand piano, in my living room, with the street noise and cats running around. i won't say it's low tech, but compared to my professional standards i'm slapping this stuff together. i'm using a stereo AT825 mic through the stock pre's of my m-audio mobilepre. (which i DO NOT recommend as an audio interface, but i own it, and there it is...) recording to my laptop using Peak. I fly the audio into my desktop station, add a bit of eq and compression for the conversion to quicktime. make a quick movie of the still and audio in imovie. export as quicktime .mov. upload to my blog. it takes about 15 mins or so, once i've got it down.
