Bill Roper's Journal

Gretchen sent me upstairs early while she stayed downstairs to watch the Dancing With the Stars finale. This gave me time to do all the things that I didn't do this afternoon, including paying the bills and recording some scratch tracks.

The scratch track recording turned out to be really, really simple once I brought the laptop upstairs. I plugged the Focusrite Scarlett Solo into the laptop, dropped the stand for the mic into the desk mount, connected everything together, pulled up the lyric sheets on the computer in front of me and sang. It doesn't get a whole lot simpler than that.

(Ok, it *could* get simpler, but it certainly doesn't get any simpler without spending money. And I have spent enough money this week, because aside from buying myself a new computer, I started buying Christmas presents for the rest of the family. My credit card is *smoking*...)
