Sometimes it seems it takes a bit of momentum to get the creative ball rolling, but it is definitely moving forward.  Karen and I have a mutual goal of writing 1 minute of music a day.  It can come in 1, 3, 7-minute blocks, depending on life.  We will post our minutes here at times.<br \/>\nAlso, in exciting news, I completed a goal of updating\/rebuilding a microphone.  I am so pleased with its results.  I added a Telefunken tube and an akg c12 diaphragm to my NTK.  I love my NTK, and at times have recorded various &#8220;mic shoot outs&#8221; with it and it always wins.  But, I had read so many great reviews of this combo that I had to give it a try.  I finally had a spare moment so I took it apart and made the changes.  I have a recording I did of Kristina at Christmas time.  I had her rerecord the same line with the new changes.  WOW.  I will post those files here tomorrow as a continuation of this post.  Until that time, ciao!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I know we are already at Ground Hog Day, but it has been an exciting start to a new year in the studio.
