BSP Episode 277c: Winter’s Bone – Voice Only/Mono

In this episode, we tried something new.  As you might know, we are attempting to learn to play musical instruments.  This week we decided to plug our guitars into the mixer and fiddling around with them while we chatted.

There are 3 different versions of this episode.

  • Version A: Split Audio/Stereo – If you listen to this version, you’ll hear our voices in your left ear and the guitars in the right.
  • Version B: Mixed Audio/Mono – If you listen to this version, you’ll hear both our voices and the music in either ear (or both).
  • Version C: Voice Only/Mono (This Version) – If you listen to this version, you’ll hear just our voices.  This one is shorter because I cut out the pauses where we are playing our instruments.  You might also hear some background string plucking that our vocal mics picked up.

Let us know what you think of our little experiment, good or bad.
