Yesterday I was in an Advanced Users Training class for Logic users (sponsored by Apple). It was in-depth and very useful helping me understand some of the new features in Logic 8 and 9 (emphasis on 9). The class was set up with stations of Macbook Pro computers and Apogee One audio interfaces which feature high quality audio and a built in microphone. One of the things we did was a comping exercise where we recorded our voices in loop mode doing several takes and then created a comp. In order to test the input going into the mic, some people would talk, “microphone check one two one two,” but not I. I was in the last row in the back and for some reason started doing my Todd Rundgren/Steven Tyler imitations but especially Todd at the end of the classic song, The Death Of Rock And Roll at a very soft volume.
Bill Lee from Apple who invited me to this class was doing something nearby and kept looking at me like, “Oh Good Lord.” Needless to say, yet again, I turned wherever I am into the “’round the way section.”
