Tony,
You inspired me to listen to some of the stuff tucked away on my iPod recorder... Kind of finding my way through this tune at first, but found a few moments I liked. Gotta keep working on it!

To help me learn Days of Wine and Roses, I have been practicing on piano, as well as vibes. This weekend I was hoping to create a piano backing track and did some recording. Kept getting interrupted, as you will hear. LOL.
I am not satisfied with the quality of recording the piano. It sounds distant. I am using good mics (tried AKG C 1000 S, and the AMT 404) and a good Mackie mixer. Can't get it right. Any tips would be appreciated.

Perfect interpretation, and they have many others tangos on YouTube. The real tango's feeling.
Fair warning -- this is a major geek-out. I'll forgive anyone who doesn't want to slog through it, and I don't expect many comments.
But, I'll go ahead. As often comes up in comments to posts here, this is a freakin' fantastic site. Most recently this comment has come up in response to the video of David playing "Giant Steps", but the awesomeness has many dimensions, including the contributions of the star players, the working pros, the students and the people just trying to make the best music they can.
I have a malletKAT 2 octave Express 6.1, and a 1 octave expander, purchased at different times. The expander is louder, and the top octave of the Express is even softer than it's !st octave. How do I get them in balance? I have followed the instructions on pgs. 54 thru 57 and it doesn't work.
Thanks-ELK
I'll kick it off. I'm hoping all you guys record when you practice. So this week is Practice Tapes Week (tapes, ha ha). So take the pledge and post something from your personal practice tapes this week.
A little bit of a Spacey lesson here. But might be of interest for some!
I know it's me, but I love this photo. Anyone have any cool vibe photos of just the hands and the sticks??
