Broken Yolk In Western Sky

Another attempt at recording. I really should get a better setup - right now I'm just using the mic built into my old iSight - it's supposed to be better than my Powerbook's built-in mic (which I've also used in the past) but neither are really that good. I find that on most recordings I really don't like the way my voice sounds - it's far more nasal sounding than I want it - makes me paranoid that I sound like that in real life but Hannah assures me I don't.

Also, my version of recording generally consists of hitting the record button and bashing away. I know I can get better sound if I record the guitar and vocals on separate tracks but that adds a lot of work. Garageband has some pretty cool effects you can put on the recordings - but you can't take advantage of it without using tracks. I'm just lazy I guess.

So here's "Broken Yolk In Western Sky" - a cover of Ben Gibbard (Death Cab for Cutie). Not sure if it's his song or not - don't think it's on any Death Cab albums and I don't know if he has solo stuff released or not. I heard it on Burn To Shine 5 in Seattle. Great DVD - a lot of really great music - highly recommended.

Wish I could get the guitar a little louder. I moved the mic farther away from me to try to get my voice to sound better - which it did a little - but now the guitar is really quiet and kinda muddy.
