Re: [Harp-L] recording your own practices

[Paul Routledge <kingley@xxxxxxx>]

Hi Nick,

I use an Mac iBook when I want to record and just use the built in  
mic straight into GarageBand.
It has a great sound and really gives you a true representation of  
your sound / tone.

you can hear it hear:

All I did was add a touch of reverb to the recordings.

If you are on a PC I would imagine there is an equivalent to  
Garageband for it.
