Teach me Hendrix

Robert Herndon said:
On many music projects, we record an entire band in one take, with all instruments and vocalists in isolation booths. This ONLY works with a really tight band.

When I record at home, I'm usually building from a drum track, but I don't cut and paste anything. Audacity doesn't really have that level of accuracy.

If I screw up on a guitar part, I re-record the entire track.

Im still REALLY stupid when it comes to trying to properly record something but when I have managed to pull it off, i used Audacity and like you said: it's a bit difficult to work with and like you, i would just start over and record it fresh cause i suck at cut and pasting lol

Audacity has its uses but as a DAW it kinda sucks IMO. I'd recommend you to try Reaper.

Reaper is great, but it can be daunting for inexperienced users. But the good thing is that once you've learned one DAW, you pretty much know how they all work in general and it becomes easier to get around in all of them. Cakewalk is totally free now if you guys didn't know....

I find Reaper to be one of the most intuitive and easy to use DAW's I'e ever tried. 4 mouse clicks and you record your first track :)
 
I spent the day listening to all things Jimi. A lot of his work I've heard before in various mediums, mostly movies or radio, but never really took the time to appreciate.

Todays Highlights:



All this time I have understood that he had a lot of talent, and he inspired so many with his style, music, and proficiency. However, it really dawned on me just how much talent the guy had. His playing isn't super flashy and pure technical like the precision big names have today, but what he had was so much soul that just floods through his music. While you are listening, you easily forget it's a 3 piece band and that Jimi is doing his thing to sound like there's more musicians than the Rolling Stones on stage. He can play one thing and sing an entirely different melody and they both play beautifully together.

I'm starting to expand what I listen to more and more, and Jimi will be a regular on my playlists.

Don't forget to listen to The Cry of Love. His last studio album.

Also, when you start going down the rabbit hole you'll find that there are a whole bunch of different versions of the songs from TCOL that have been released on various compilations over the years. The album was unfinished when Hendrix died, therefore released posthumously (mixing and production completed by Eddie Kramer) and a bunch of different people have taken their whack at trying to figure out how he would have completed the songs. It's interesting to check out the different takes back to back. I have my own opinions on which versions sound the most like Hendrix made the final decisions himself.
