I had been given the last-minute task of putting together a
It took me longer than one would think to get all that working, because, while the karaoke program I use (Siglos Karaoke Player Recorder) specifically is designed to do recordings as well, I could never get it to record anything more than silence. It would show volume on the incoming line meter, but would simply not record a damn thing.
So I eventually just set up to record in Audacity, instead. It took me a couple of tries to get the recording volume right, and two more before Alex decided he was satisfied with the result.
Now I just need to get the background and vocal tracks synced, then play with volumes and effects a bit. I still need to get to that, but it's not vital until Saturday morning.
After a little extra drama at the end of the evening - I followed someone home, so I could help with putting someone to bed - I ended up home at around 2:00am. I managed to get myself to bed quickly, by my standards - around 3:30am - and got some sleep.
Today, I've been relatively active - and even productive. I've managed to unearth the clothes I'll be wearing Saturday from the depths of the fourth box I checked, and have gotten them to a dry cleaner's. I've talked to a clerk in Redwood City about my traffic ticket. I've checked out a store I was recommended in the aforementioned Redwood City. I've even gotten my beard trimmed. Go me! Woo!
And I just finished dinner at Red Robin, and am pretty much ready to go back to bed...
