Title: [Music] triangles gets unlazy and plays clarinet again

Sis Puella Magica! From everyone's favorite 2011 magical girl show!
Alright so it's not a Touhou song oh well

My main issue is the fact I really need to get a better mic but need a middle ground between $15 Radio Shack special (what I currently have) and $400+ serious business ones that come up from my Googlings if I'm going to continue to play ridiculous high notes that probably shouldn't exist :V 

I'm going to resolve to put up one song a month, and this doesn't count as September that'd be too easy. I actually had some stuff I was working on earlier this year, but since I'm not very good if it's not a piece I really like I just can't bring myself to practice and make it sound decent whoops.

Yay, the return of the toot :3

I'm a singer, not a musician, so I can't really critique you very well, but if it means anything that sounded good to me. Definitely sounds better than a few of the earlier things you played, in my opinion.

Pretty good stuff. I think it could use more reverb, however.

I'll try to cover the mic aspects here as a musician and composer. This one (http://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/581543-REG/MXL_STUDIO_1_USB_Studio_1_USB.html) seems good, and has direct USB connection for PC-based recording.
However since I rarely use mics my suggestion may not be as effective for clarinet.

I already gave you my opinion on IRC, so yeah! It'd be nice to hear a redux when you get a better mic, tho.

this is lovely~ i really like the playing. as for the recording, you could fiddle around with reverb and equalizers to make it sound better without having to get a new mic!

Music that isn't midi editing, huzzah. The two harmonizing lines sound good together brah, keep it up.
