So Joey and I are redoing our first song, It Hurts to be Me, because we've learned so much and there were so many mistakes.... and we have better recording gear now. We're slowly just building it back up. Well, mainly Anders and I are doing that right now while Joey gets better, but she'll have plenty of work to do on the vocal now that she has a better mic.
I finally completed the picking part today, using the Apogee Mic on my Koaloha concert. Here's what I learned:
It led to a time vortex. I went in at 10am and came out at 3, with sore fingers.
But really pleased with the Apogee Mic! The strum part is the Kanilea superconcert plugged into an Apogee Jam. Both parts recorded with an iPad. The strum part - Ampkit+ acoustic, the picking - GarageBand with just a touch of reverb. The mic is positioned about 10 inches away from the lower bout.
The Kanilea has T2 strings on, the Koaloha has Living Water. I figure when Joey hears this, it won't help her Koaloha UAS.

I finally completed the picking part today, using the Apogee Mic on my Koaloha concert. Here's what I learned:
- I breathe passionately with the music
- I really enjoy rubbing the uke all over my stomach, making a lovely noise against my shirt.
- My fingers forget what to do when you press the rec button
