Recently I've been looking into digital recording/editing/production software. The package I'm seriously considering is called Peak LE by BIAS. I downloaded a free 14-day trial of Peak LE, and Stephen and I have been playing around with it this week (staying up WAY past my bedtime *yawn*).
The software seems to work really well! Using Peak LE, I have successfully created my first MP3 of "Back To You," an original song by moi. Take a listen, and let me know what you think. With a little luck (and a lot of late nights), I hope to have a CD produced by Christmas 2003.

Turn my headphones up!
I don't remember the set up you guys have over there, but the mp3 may not sound as good on a mono computer speaker or over low quality speaks. Or, you just might need to turn the volume up. This song has a lot of dynamic range.
If worse comes to worse, we can put it on sara's iPod and play it out of her fancy JBL creature speakers :) They're the best!

Amy the song sounds wonderful where I am--in my office with the bookshelf Buggtussels hooked up to my mac. Sounds like you are here in the room. Great job!!
Keep it up!

It took me a while, but I was able to download and listen to your song. It sounded great on our computer system. We are looking forward to the CD!

Just listened to your song, Amy - and I am so very impressed - so sophisticated and you have such a wonderful quality to your voice - so multi-layered and interesting. Would love to hear you end on a high note, though :) Can't wait to hear more of your songs - love it love it love it!!!! You should be very proud.
