Title: Going to Minnesota
Post by: CaliaMoko on July 03, 2021, 10:17:15 PM
This isn't for review--just something different for anyone who enjoys checking out silly stuff. My 8-year-old niece came to visit (with my brother) and she loves messing with music in a really unstructured kind of way. She was all in favor of trying to record something but she wasn't super direct-able.  ;D

This is what we ended up with. I did some editing to get it to have some rhythm. I was hoping she would do a vocal for it, too, but that didn't happen, so I did it myself and EQ'd my track into a child-like voice sound. Actually, I didn't EQ it. My memory is shot. I changed the pitch. And EQ'd it a little.

Thank you, @Max66 (http://www.songwriterforum.co.uk/index.php?action=profile;u=22802) and @cowparsleyman (http://www.songwriterforum.co.uk/index.php?action=profile;u=21308) ! It occurs to me I could go into business making recordings for kids! Well, OF kids--for their parents. Great keepsakes. Yeah...

@CaliaMoko (http://www.songwriterforum.co.uk/index.php?action=profile;u=19928) - Well, there's an idea (I know there's a LOT of money in stuff for kids, you name it shoes, books etc), I wonder if kids prefer music with kids in, haven't you noticed that kids music always has kids choirs, etc. I used to get my daughter to sing and play the piano when she was very little, to our ears it might sound a little "Unpolished" but to kids of the same age, maybe be not...bet there a lot of empirical research about it..

Any how was Minnesota when they got there, similar to Mississippi? did they go with their very first car?
