The original CD track was more than 6 minutes. I shortened it in MultiTrack by copying the track to Track 3, trimming Track 1 to about 2 minutes, and trimming Track 3 to just the last few bars. Notice I panned the CD tracks slightly to the left and the harmonica track to the right. I also adjusted each track&#8217;s volume, bringing the guitar down a bit and the harmonica up a bit.<\/p>\n<p>I used my Blue Snowflake USB mic plugged into the Camera Connection Kit USB adapter. I used headphones while recording the harmonica to monitor the CD track (guitar). <\/p>\n<p \/> I really like using this setup for practice. It&#8217;s portable and completely silent &#8211; no computer fan noise to contend with. It makes a very clean recording. <\/p>\n<p \/> Jim<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The last couple of days I&#8217;ve been practicing with JP Allen&#8217;s DVDs and CDs which are great.
