Thanks for the feedback everyone; I'm glad you like it. I think you're all very kind, because nobody's commented on the poor audio quality. The strings are over a month old, I'm not very careful about my nails, I muffed a few arpeggios, etc. With a good microphone, it might still sound old and scratchy! Henry: Visit any time you like, but anything you save is going to spent on drinks... Just kidding about saving (because I don't sell to my friends) but I'm dead serious about the drinks! Ramzi: I hope you still like my playing when I get a good microphone! Ricardo: Thanks, I think you know how much I respect your playing and afición! Ailsa: Thanks, glad you enjoyed it! Deniz: It sounds like we've got the same problem. I've attached an example of one of the hiccups (after downloading you have to change the extension to MP3). If that's your problem, too, it's not hard to edit out hiccups even if they happen in the middle of a rasgueado or something. If you've got a good audio editor (maybe an average one nowadays), you have to zoom in/out until you can see identical shapes in the sound waves immediately before and after the hiccup. Then, you highlight a section, as close as possible to covering the hiccup, with the left and right sides of the section on the identical shapes. Then, you zoom all the way in (here's the important part) and you place the borders on both sides of the highlighted section to the point where the waves cross over the middle. The sound waves go up and down crossing over the middle, so you cut the left side of the section on the upswing or downswing of the wave where it crosses the middle, and you cut the right side of the section at exactly the same point. When you delete the section, the two sides should join seamlessly at the middle. I don't know if I'm explaining myself well. In my case, I think the problem is that my sound card is a Realtek AC97. I don't know much about sound cards, but I read on the Internet that this one is famous for its recording problems. On HemeolaMan's advice, I looked for a buffer adjustment for the card but there doesn't seem to be one. It also might help to temporarily turn off the automatic-update function of the antivirus program when recording. Thanks again, guys and gals. ¡Viva la afición!
