O.K., that makes A LOT more sense!
When you said "basic equipment", I was under the impression this was some amateur recital videotaped by your wife, or something!
Naturally, the acoustics of my study/studio in this new suburban town-house are not flattering to my performance.... that was part of the study on the blog. I was under the impression that purchasing a top of the line recording device would give my real sound... turns out that was a misconception.
If I start analyzing the flaws of my performance, I will probably get discouraged to the point of putting away my oboe again. But the purpose of the blog is to chronicle how a person can revive oboistic activity after a long hiatus and with very limited time - as well as how chronic pain and fatigue factor in all that.
I know I am not alone in this situation, in fact I think there are some participants in this forum in more difficult situations than mine. In all cases, the joys of playing is its own reward and, for me, offers enough enjoyment in life to keep on at it!
Cheers!
