it seemed like it was only recording in mono though.

Adam's right, make sure yr cables are stereo-to-stereo, but also check Audacity. If you go to Edit->Preferences there's a setting that controls how many channels a new track will be, and for some reason I think it defaults to mono in some versions of Audacity.

Also, if you do File->Export to WAV you'll have nice lossless files. They're a lot bigger than mp3s but they'll sound great, and you can convert the WAVs to mp3s very easily later. I'd love a WAV copy of "The Happy Egotist" in stereo - that song's my new obssession...

I'm streaming now from my computer

I expect a computer in the mail in a few days then the wvvy.org website will go live. For now it's just a random selection from my music collection, bumped every half hour by an annoying ad to register software. It will get better.

Oh, and thanks for the Audacity tip - I'll try to do a stereo version of The Happy Egotist in the next couple of days.

God bless you, and Scott, too.

Now playing something truly weird that Scott put together by recording a tv show on tape and using a second tape recorder to edit and mix. It's called Sally Shoe and lasts about 20 minutes. Not for most people.

here's what the Trouser Press said about Sally Shoe..."Amateur sound collagist Scott Philly sent us this in a polka dotted shoe box and we should have guessed what it would sound like.Well,we would of been wrong.Using whole snatches of current TV weirdo Sally Jesse Raphaels interview with a panel of fashion designers,Sally tries to tell truths about her audience by the style of shoe they wear.The joke is on Sally as SPhilly rewinds and fast fowards her almost inhuman cackling,spitting,choking,demon inflected laughter and commentary with one designers fey comments about hapless middle amerikans style sense.The result is nothing short of ODD,that's regular odd with capital letters.A mirror held up to society is often an ugly excercise,but when the listener is in on the premise at least the ugliness is tempered with humor...1988"

omg, my brother is so stoned. danny, how long did it take you to write that? it is wonderful though. it might be the reason i was put on earth. we'll put it up later for everyone. maria is working now though and i am sick :( (caught baby's stomach bug. ugh.)

that took me .45 seconds,the tyme it took to me to roll yet another for the ages.

― daniel seward (bunnybrain), Wednesday, 6 December 2006 20:51 (seventeen years ago) link

it was just that silly mono/stereo setting in Audacity, now recording in two tracks.

I'll plan to play that sally shoe piece on my stream again. I have to reboot the stream every half hour cuz of demo software and I got the stomach bug too, so if the stream isn't up, try again later. I'll shoot to have the sally shoe piece play in a few minutes.

actually it might take some time. the version I played that jbr heard was my edit down to twelve minutes. scott's orriginal 22-minute one is sicker. I have to transfer it over to the streaming computer.
