Spent yesterday evening in the company of [info]bardling, who accompanied us to the Luttrell Psalter Film preview. The film is about 20 minutes or so long, and utterly, utterly gorgeous. It features Rika and I spinning and carding and our rendering of "Miri It Is" is used throughout the winter scene. We recorded two versions - one live whilst we were actually spinning, and then again in a sound studio. Of course, no-one thought to bring the rushes of the scene to the audio recording, so we were a bit worried that our audio version wouldn't be in the same tempo as the spinning version. Turns out that we did it identically both times, in both timing and pitch. Which is fairly astonishing when you bear in mind that there were *weeks* between the two recordings! I thoroughly enjoyed the film, and am looking forwards to owning a copy.

When we got home, it was time to attempt to batter CuBase and the Edirol into touch. I hadn't been able to finish installing the Edirol drivers on my own as I was sans a power supply and appropriate firewire cable. But Tim found these and by the end of the night, we had two guitar tracks down on the laptop. Yay!

I've also found out what was causing a problem with my copy of MasterWriter, and have fixed it so that I can record again. This is also a quick and dirty way of getting MP3s of single track live material, so if I owe you a song for any reason, feel free to ask me now as I stand a vague hope of getting it to you!

What's an Edirol? Is it a piece of tech I would like?

Have a look at this:

Our old outboard sound card was notoriously fragile and blew circuits left right and centre. This was bought with the intention of being a bit more sturdy, and it has certainly lived up to that so far!

WANT! Pity I don't have Firewire on any of my machines. Although I could probably add a card to do it. And upgrade to a sensible spec. PC while I'm about it (I don't think a 900MHz Celeron P3 cuts it!), preferably a laptop so I could take it places and go with it to keep it company...
