SeatofHerPantsPodcasts Volume 1.1 and on

Too much fun - It is 4:00AM
and I am working
with my new project
SeatofHerPantsPodcasts !
I have 3 demo issues in the works
and do not want to cook, clean or shop.
I just want to create!
But then
when did I ever
want to cook, clean or shop?
Good point. Never.
What I need is staff.
*sigh*
Creating the podcasts is all fun.
The adventure of publishing same
is ahead of me.

Light Snake and Older Garage Band and mics

Remember the squeaky noises that brought us to
a dead halt in session two of our intensive?
Sounded like rhythmic rodents
on the line and nearly shut down all recording?

Seems that Light Snake does not work well with
older Garage Band i.e. version 2.
Although Stu wrote to their tech department and they
say it is fine...dunno what to think.
Another "wait to buy this product when they have the
kinks out?" LightSnake xlr cable
works beautifully with GarageBand 3
and Audacity on either an older Mac or PC.

As for the cheap Logitech mic for
from Radio Shack?
It also works well with GarageBand 3 on
the preset podcast "female/male" vocal settings.
You will need to futz with it to get it sound good.
