Is There a Doctor in the House?

New song time! I have no fewer than three songs in mind already that have to do with science fiction shows I like, so perhaps that will end up being a thing with me. Who knows? Anyway, this one is coincidentally very neatly timed to the start of the new season of Doctor Who.

This is also the first song I've created with my new equipment. Not much, but a good quality, side address large diameter cardioid condenser mic, pop filter, and balanced cable made a huge difference. The noise floor is amazingly low, and the built-in 80Hz high-pass filter allows me to record with the family home without any noise from footsteps, HVAC, etc. I love it. It's also the first song where I'm attempting to apply compression, delay, and more complex reverb and chorusing techniques. All in software, as I'm not yet to the point where I can justify purchasing dedicated equipment for such things. But I like the results. Hope you do too!
