June 9, 2006 at 9:49PM Popping P-s, Sizzling S-es, Audacity, and Hot Chip
In preparation for Bernie’s Wondering Moleskine project, I downloaded a copy of Audacity so that I wouldn’t screw up too badly and to make sure I was able to position the mike on my headset so as to avoid popping p-s, and sizzling s-es without needing a pop filter.
Now, the podcast element of the project is for me probably going to be a one-off as I really don’t like the sound of my voice and don’t believe anybody else would regardless of whether I’d have something interesting to say in them. But when I was fiddling with it, it popped into my head to try singing some bit of a Hot Chip song to test out mixing tracks a bit in it, so I sang the high and low parts of one of the lines from And I Was a Boy from School, specifically the line 3:56 into it. Here’s the result, with me signing harmonies with myself:
Fiddle, fiddle, fiddle... done!
It’s all just a bit of fun, and I don’t think I’m ever going to be offered a record contract... ![[smile]](/images/smilies/smile.gif){kind=small}

Actually that didn’t sound like you at all. Sounded ok. But I shouldn’t be encouraging you... :p

I don’t think you’ve ever heard me singing, unless you count some muffled half-humming.![[smile]](/images/smilies/smile.gif)

You can’t sing, you can’t dance, and you look terrible.
You’ll go a long way!
