Well <a href=\"http:\/\/www.nargalzius.com\/blog\/archives\/2006\/10\/2006_10_28_0851.php\" title=\"Read post\">this is it!<\/a><\/p>\n<p>I have been featured as an&#8230; er&#8230; <em>&#8220;featured artist&#8221;<\/em> in one of the <a href=\"http:\/\/projectstudionetwork.com\/\" title=\"Project Studio Network\">Podcasts I <em>love<\/em> listening to<\/a>. And it&#8217;s a very humbling [and <em>terrifying!<\/em>] experience to have a segment in a show which also had interviewed industry heavyweights such as Grammy Award Winning sound engineer <em>Charles Dye<\/em> among others.<\/p>\n<p>For the PSN listeners out there, think of this post as a &#8220;supplemental&#8221; reading to the interview. I was really nervous &#8211; and in case you didn&#8217;t know, my thoughts can <strong>really go all over the place<\/strong> when nervous. <a href=\"http:\/\/www.bigtoestudio.net\/\" title=\"Allen Wagner\">Big Al<\/a> promised to make me sound smarter than I really did, but just in case he didn&#8217;t have enough material to salvage, this post should set things straight.<!--more--><!-- \/\/ --><\/p>\n<h1>The Introduction<\/h1>\n<p>It is worth noting that I already got my <a href=\"http:\/\/www.nargalzius.com\/blog\/archives\/2006\/11\/2006_11_07_1636.php\" title=\"Read post\">MacBook Pro<\/a> before the interview came out. Also, most of the equipment I mentioned (particularly the mixer, guitar, and mic) are part of my <em>current<\/em> equipment, which I was able to use with the 3 newest songs (Hiling, Jess, and Color).<\/p>\n<p>For the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.nargalzius.com\/music\" title=\"view songs\">rest of the songs<\/a> (everything below those three) I was using an Ovation Celebrity &#8211; which is why you can hear a vast difference in the acoustic guitar tone from Hiling\/Color. Also, a Sony external <em>camcorder<\/em> microphone (Yes, a CAMCORDER mic which I EQed the hell out of), and no mixer (but I was using the Terratec already by then)<\/p>\n<h1>The Songs<\/h1>\n<p>For those who are too lazy to navigate to the music page, here are embedded versions of the <strong>full<\/strong> songs (just make sure you have <code>JavaScript<\/code> enabled) &#8211; it&#8217;ll load the player right into the page.<\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s worth mentioning that the order of songs presented are from <strong>newest to oldest<\/strong> recorded. So as far as technical output is concerned, you may be experiencing a &#8220;degredation&#8221; in production quality since I knew less and less about recording as you go down the list.<\/p>\n<p>Also, for the non Filipinos who are interested in the translation of the song <em>Hiling,<\/em> I took the time to explain it thoroughly in <a href=\"http:\/\/www.nargalzius.com\/blog\/archives\/2006\/10\/2006_10_28_0851.php\" title=\"Read post\">my past post<\/a><\/p>\n<div align=\"center\">\n<!-- iframe plugin v.5.1 wordpress.org\/plugins\/iframe\/ -->\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" width=\"100%\" height=\"450\" scrolling=\"no\" frameborder=\"no\" src=\"https:\/\/w.soundcloud.com\/player\/?url=https%3A\/\/api.soundcloud.com\/playlists\/11810620&#038;color=ff5500&#038;auto_play=false&#038;hide_related=false&#038;show_comments=true&#038;show_user=true&#038;show_reposts=false\" class=\"iframe-class\"><\/iframe>\n<\/div>\n<hr \/>\n<p>While I really encourage people to <a href=\"http:\/\/psn.libsyn.com\/index.php?post_id=155920\" title=\"View post\">listen to the whole show,<\/a> for those who aren&#8217;t really interested in &#8220;recording&#8221; (the non-gearheads) but are intrigued enough to take a listen to my music, I&#8217;ve put my segment online, which you can listen to.<\/p>\n<div align=\"center\">\n<!-- iframe plugin v.5.1 wordpress.org\/plugins\/iframe\/ -->\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" width=\"100%\" height=\"20\" scrolling=\"no\" frameborder=\"no\" src=\"https:\/\/w.soundcloud.com\/player\/?url=https%3A\/\/api.soundcloud.com\/tracks\/306058562%3Fsecret_token%3Ds-RpjgP&#038;color=ff5500&#038;inverse=false&#038;auto_play=false&#038;show_user=false\" class=\"iframe-class\"><\/iframe>\n<\/div>\n<p>Oh and I noticed that the answer to my &#8220;homework&#8221; was never followed up.
