Hello All, Finally got out of the apartment to do some vocal recording with the Zoom H2 at my church's sanctuary. I need some more singing practice, but it shouldn't prove too painful to listen to my version of Annabel Lee (poem by Edgar Allen Poe in 1849, so I don't think the copyright issues of the USA are going to be a problem) set to an adapted tune of Scarborough Fair (English traditional, in which I had to repeat the last two phrases to match up with the usual 6 line stanzas of Annabel Lee.) There were some other adjustments that had to be made to get these 2 pieces working together, but overall it's 95% or more the straight Annabel Lee. The recording was done under the highest point of the sanctuary (15 feet to 20 feet), the Zoom H2 inserted into a mic stand (the H2 comes with the screw on attachment) at arm's distance from me (so I could turn on and off the Zoom H2 without moving-- as someone else has pointed out for a convenient recording distance) using the Automatic Gain Control (Martin, I'm going to have to rethink using that setting, as it smooths out any dynamic range in the music one might be striving for), in CD format (WAV, 44.1kHz, 16bit). This is a vocal only recording. I'm a lute hobbyist. The demands of real-life are bad and getting worse. I haven't practiced my lute since early Spring of 2007. I was wondering if someone would consider composing a lute accompaniment for my vocal. I'd like to learn that accompaniment, so it will need to be for a *very* beginning student. I considered strumming chords on the lute for the accompaniment, but somehow that doesn't seem faithful to the lute. The last restriction (as if there weren't enough already!) is that I'm on dial-up internet without a web site to put the WAV file. So I would need to send it to someone's existing site if more than one person volunteers to help me out.
