Honestly very surprised at how good this sounds for a USB Microphone. Going to be great to have on the road when I can't bring my whole setup, but need to track a professional sounding vocal. 

Trying out the new Rode NT-USB - Multitrack Acapella

This track is quite different from anything that I've written in the past, and I was inspired by this antique autoharp that I found! 

This song is written and dedicated to my uncle who passed away not too long ago and to anyone else that may be dealing or has dealt with a loss. 

Much love, 
Elle xo

You Go

And we will meet again 
Nothing is lost 
The time we had 
You filled up my heart 
It was all you had 
Life in front of me 
Illuminates a flash 

Why did you go?
Why did you go away?
The rest never follows, no 
The rest never sleeps 
In dreams you are living 
You light the night
You live in my dreams 
You light up the skies

Where do we grow this afterglow? 
Smiles that loomed not long ago

Why do we go?
Why do we go away?
The follow of shadows grow
Eclipsing the need
And castles are caving
To dust by the sun
You still live in my dreams
and you'll always be young

You know you'll always be young
Star-dusted smiles carry on 

ahhh…

Why did you go?
Why did you go away?
The rest never follows, no 
The rest never sleeps 
In dreams you are living 
You light the night
You live in my dreams 
You light up the skies

And in my dreams we follow
The rest never sleep alone

Why do go away? 
Follow of shadows grow
Eclipsing the need
And castles are caving 
Into dust by the sun 
You'll always live in dreams 
and you'll always be loved

You Go

Now in my 60,s and with little left in my life apart from my little Tascam Neo home recording studio, I am blessed to be able to record and sing the songs I have never been able to afford
Alan Jackson,s beautiful song "I wish I could back up" was a must on my list. Being a drummer who now dabbles with guitar, piano and bass I hope if Alan ever got to hear it he would make allowances for my lack of expertise and be happy with my passion to just want to have a go.

Review of the new RODE NT-USB - Versatile Studio-Quality USB Microphone

Darkling Dreamer

But what are we supposed to do?
Stand around and wait until the light crawls through? 
And how are we supposed to know? 
How are supposed to let it go? 

They always say what a waste of time
Everything you do it's never good enough for them
People always stand in line 
Waiting for a moment for the very best to come

But what are we supposed to do?
Stand around and wait until the light comes through? 

Never think that you're a waste of time
Baby you know you got a lot going on for you
Some people never get your lines 
Never get your mind 
Never mind them anymore...

But what are we supposed to do?
Stand around and wait until the light comes through? 
And how are we supposed to know? 
How are supposed to let it go? 

You're on your own with you

Ran into Nyle busking on Rustaveli Avenue earlier today. Originally from Dublin, he teaches English and busks whenever he can while cycling from Barcelona to Beijing. Despite some very loud and busy traffic on one of Tbilisi's main thoroughfares I managed to get a decent enough recording of him performing one of his own compositions. After Georgia he's on to Azerbaijan and then Central Asia.

So this is an extension of my written review where you can find here: 

I recorded my speech in the cardioid pattern in my booth before  putting the NT2000 out on the floor to give you an idea of what the Omni and Figure 8 patterns sound like - thanks to my friend Tara McLeod accompanying me on the guitar. Really hope this review helps!
