I spent a lazy Saturday morning on Twitter (@MasterEdTC)  & enjoying Obie’s company. Ran across a few interesting items: @diymusicbiz‘s Not Your Standard Quantize (2/25) & @ehrstudio‘s How to Set Up Your Room for Solo Recording

The thing that stood out for me from the latter was the idea of a DAW remote. Similar to my excellent investment in a headphone extension cord, the idea of an app for my smartphone that would allow me to start, pause & stop recording while away from the laptop is just, well, a bit liberating (These apps seemingly do more . Yay!). The one mentioned in the article, DAW Remote by EUMLab, is apparently not available for Android. The one I think I’ll try 1st is TouchDAW by Humatic.

The appeal, to me, of the 1st article is the idea of finding my own groove outside of standard quantizing – the author reinforces the importance of practice to accomplish this goal. There clearly is a difference between a loose, organic feel & just “poor timing.”

Looking to record tomorrow morning – more work on “What Say You?“.

NOTE: This is the 1st post done from my phone which has it’s limitations in this regard.
