thecoralbeauty Posted December 30, 2015 Author Share Posted December 30, 2015 So, I got bored, and decided to be my own quartet. Which is tricky when you're recording each track separately... so besides sounding extremely disjointed at times, here is a quickly thrown-together cello quartet version of "Stitches". It definitely needs re-done, but for a first take of everything, I'm pretty happy with it, especially for just messing around in a minor. recorded sitting in front of the tank 2 Quote Link to comment

HarryPotter Posted December 30, 2015 Share Posted December 30, 2015 thanks- now that I'm re-listening I'm cringing... 20 years now. though I've taken a hiatus since 2009. Sounds good. Were you listening to yourself play while doing the other parts or did you record and attach separately? Quote Link to comment
thecoralbeauty Posted December 30, 2015 Author Share Posted December 30, 2015 Sounds good. Were you listening to yourself play while doing the other parts or did you record and attach separately? couldn't listen to myself because it would pick up on the new track as well, somehow, despite the fact that i tried headphones- i think i was doing something wrong haha Quote Link to comment

Or you could use a vibration pickup rather than acoustic? 1 Quote Link to comment
thecoralbeauty Posted December 30, 2015 Author Share Posted December 30, 2015 That's the benefit of a loop station I guess. Or you could use a vibration pickup rather than acoustic? the pickup i have on my cello now is the 'realist'- it fits under the foot of the bridge, but it only connects to a quarter inch cable. when i was in my band in high school, playing shows i was fine if i had a monitor, i got minimal feedback. but recording through that makes everything super bass heavy, and i don't have my pre-amp to connect the quarter inch to here. so i just recorded this using my built-in mic on my laptop haha 1 Quote Link to comment

Those tubastrea are looking big and fat as well. i was amazed to see his stripes when he was sleeping! so cool. He also seems to be able to flash more yellow or more blue- depending on what he's doing. very cool. Looks great! Those acros Cute kitty too thank you! I can't wait till they start growing out more. 3 Quote Link to comment
Sk8n Reefer Posted January 3, 2016 Share Posted January 3, 2016 tanks looking great- how much water are you evaporating a week? Quote Link to comment
vlangel Posted January 3, 2016 Share Posted January 3, 2016 Great photos Morgan. I love the dendros. If I have success following through on my resolution to feed my coral this year maybe I will consider one for my sump. 2 Quote Link to comment
thecoralbeauty Posted January 4, 2016 Author Share Posted January 4, 2016 Great photos Morgan. I love the dendros. If I have success following through on my resolution to feed my coral this year maybe I will consider one for my sump. once they've been nursed back to health they seem pretty hardy, there have definitely been weeks that i haven't fed them. tanks looking great- how much water are you evaporating a week? thanks! about 5 gallons, give or take. the heat really takes the humidity out of the air so I'm running the humidifier as well. 2 Quote Link to comment
