 Well, I had fun last night. :)
Well, if not fun, at least interesting, but it was enjoyable. (and I think I have confused myself…)

I finished up a project that languished on my hard drive for much to long.
Back in September 2005, when we lived up on Angela Drive (I think) I started a project of transferring cassettes over to digital. I finished one at that time. (Lunacy by Lunacy which I don't expect anyone reading this to have heard of. Lunacy was a gay pagan duo in the early 1990s. I don't remember exactly when or where I got the cassettes, but I assume it was while I was living in Kansas City, since from the info on the cassettes they were based there, and that was during my more active pagan period.)
During September 2005, I had also pulled Hand of Desire by Lunacy onto computer, one AIFF file per side. And that is as far as I got at that point. Yesterday, I downloaded Amadeus and Audacity to finish up Hand of Desire. I ended up using Audacity for most of it. Mostly because Audacity is an Open Source program (and thus free.) It worked quite well, especially when I figured out how to do pull off all the songs on a side at once, rather than doing it one at a time. (Yeah, the first side I was doing each song separately.)
(This is the best link I can find online for Lunacy [about halfway down the page.] The Last.FM link on the Google search is info I put in there…)

In other news, I did not get the Indianapolis job I had been (sorta) hoping for. They ended up hiring a local lady for it. So I shall keep with this job for now, and keep sending out resumes for other jobs.

Yup, been using audacity for most of my recording gigs. Mind you I am very much an amateur.

When I undertook my project of acquiring 12" albums of the tracks I couldn't find online a year or two back, I used Audacity for the vinyl-to-MP3 conversion, too.
