Tracktion and lack thereof.

I downloaded the demo for Tracktion, the Mackie-distributed PC software for music recording. Since it comes with the Echo AudioFire devices, I wanted to see what I would be getting into. Looks really nice so far, sounds really nice.

I've been learning about analog summing. Very interesting stuff, using my mixer again in the final stages of studio mixdown. A neat idea and I really liked the sounds I was getting when playing with it and the demo of Tracktion.

But none of that made me a better player or singer today.

A cheap used Shure PG-57 is on its way from eBay. I plan to use it for trumpet snippets, maybe try some vocals on it as well. Too much gear talk, not enough music!
