La registrazione del demo dei Dica33 va avanti...abbiamo registrato tutti gli strumenti e ora restano le voci. Intanto sto faticando parecchio a dare una forma decente alle tracce finora registrate perche' hanno tutte qualche problema. Speriamo di riuscire a mettere insieme il tutto!
Dica33's demo CD recording is going on...we recorded all the instruments and now we need to cut vocals. Meanwhile I'm having a hard time trying to give a decent shape to the tracks recorded so far because they all have problems. I hope I'm able to put things together!

Recording session!
Oggi pomeriggio si va a registrare il demo CD dei Dica33 (in cui suono la batteria). Registreremo nel salotto della casa in collina del tastierista (dove proviamo di solito) in multitraccia, speriamo di riuscire a tirar fuori una buona performance e dei buoni suoni!
This afternoon I'm going to cut drums for Dica33 demo CD. We will work in the living room of keyboards player's house on the hill (where we are used to reharsing) in multitrack, I hope I'm able to give a decent performance and good sounds!

New gear!!
Ho fatto un po' di nuovi acquisti...due microfoni Samson C01 a condensatore, una cuffia AKG K141 studio, un paio di cavi. Al momento mi sono solo accertato che tutto funzionasse bene ma, tra un po', comincero' a sperimentare sul serio!!
I bought a few new pieces of gear...two Samson C01 condenser microphones, AKG K141 studio headphones, a pair of cables. For now I just made sure everything worked fine but, in a short time, I will begin to experiment seriously!!

Going on...
Credo di aver finito il mix...mi e' stato molto utile confrontarmi con i ragazzi del forum di UAR e adesso credo di potermi dedicare ad altro. Postero' a breve il risultato da qualche parte....restate sintonizzati!!
I think I've finished the mix...the advices from UAR guys have been very useful for me and now I think it's time to go on with something new. In a short time I will post the result of my efforts somewhere...stay tuned!!

Still struggling...
Il mixaggio l'avrei finito...ma non sono ancora soddisfatto. Certo suona meglio di tutti i miei precedenti ma se lo confronto con lavori di altri (anche homerecorders) sparisce. Vedro' di sperimentare ancora...
The mix is virtually finished...but I'm still not satisfied. Yes it sounds way better than my earlier works but if I compare it with others' works (homerecorders, also) it disappears. I will experiment some more...

Mixing...
Oggi ho messo mano all'equalizzazione della batteria del brano (ancora senza titolo) che ho registrato ultimamente...e' sempre difficilissimo per me, ma stavolta mi sono stampato un articolo di Rip Rowan da ProRec dal titolo Point to Point che e' stato prezioso per un quasi neofita come me. Speriamo di riuscire a fare un lavoro decente...
Today I started equalizing the drum tracks of the (still untitled) song I recorded lately...it's always so difficult for me, but I printed a Rip Rowan's article on ProRec called Point to Point that has been precious for a almost beginner like me. Hope to manage to do a decent job...

Don Quijote
Ieri sera, con Umberto e Lorenzo Sorbo, abbiamo suonato un paio di brani (My dreams di Umberto e il mio L'America e'...) al teatro Garibaldi di S. Maria C.V. durante una maratona di lettura del Don Quijote in occasione dei 400 anni dalla prima pubblicazione. Umberto ha suonato il suo Grand Stick, Lorenzo il violino e io una bella Silent Guitar della Yamaha (per gentile concessione di Lorenzo)...ci siamo divertiti come al solito ma la cosa che mi stupisce sempre di queste situazioni semi improvvisate (abbiamo provato solo due volte) e' che riusciamo sempre a fare meglio di quanto i presupposti farebbero credere. Comunque abbiamo pensato che, con un ensemble del genere, potremmo forse sviluppare un repertorio piu' ampio da proporre ai locali; vedremo cosa riusciamo a fare.
Last night, with Umberto and Lorenzo Sorbo, we played a couple of songs (My dreams by Umberto and my own L'America e'...) live at Garibaldi theatre in S. Maria C.V. during a reading marathon of the Don Quijote celebrating the fourth centenary of the first publication. Umberto played with his Grand Stick, Lorenzo his violin and I used a nice Silent Guitar by Yamaha (courtesy of Lorenzo)...we did enjoy the show as usual but what always suprises me about this kind of half improvised shows (we reharsed only two times) is that we always play better than what the premises could make believe. Anyway we thought that, with such an ensemble, we could develop a longer setlist to play in clubs; we'll see what we'll manage to do.

Setting up...
Dopo qualche giorno di prove ecco, ufficialmente, "Life recording", un blog che sara' un diario (bilingue) delle mie esperienze musicali (ma non solo) e che sostituisce lo spazio "News" di questo sito.
After a couple days trying to get the thing to work properly here is, officially, "Life recording", a blog intended to be a (bilingual) diary of my experiences in music (and life in general) and also intended to replace the "News" section of this site.

Christmas blues
Oggi, in pieno "blues da Natale" mi sono rivisto il video dell'ultimo concerto dei Touch.it...me lo dico da solo ma, nonostante non fossimo al top della forma, eravamo un bel gruppo...
Today, in a "Christmas blues" mood, I watched the videotape of Touch.it last gig...I shouldn't say such things myself but, despite being a bit rusty, we were a good band...
