My jam, it is flavafull

So I finally broke down and got myself a recording setup. It is PIMP. It is centered on a PreSonus Firebox, which connects via Firewire to my HP desktop. I also got microphones, mic cords, a pop filter, and 2 mic stands which of course have not yet arrived so I had to hold the mic and a pop filter like a putz to record my first jam. This is just an experiment, really, just the first 20 or so bars of William Byrd's "Nunc Dimittis," Gradualia I No. 4, whatever that means. We've been singing it in Cathedral Compline Choir for the last few performances, so I had a handy copy, and when transposed down a third it actually fits reasonably well into my voice. I'm still learning, but comments are ALWAYS welcome. I hope to heck this works:

Well, dang, it didn't. I was trying to embed it in a thing so you could totally just click and be all WHATUP. Darn. Oh well, here's a regular link to it.

Update: I got it working. Check it out! You can still download it from the link above if you wanna throw the awesomeness on your Ip Od.

Sa-weet, dude!

I'm a whiz at Cakewalk Sonar (I use 4 Producer Edition). If you need some mixdown assistance (for like 4+ tracks), I'll be happy to assist!
