On Saturday’s band meeting we decided to think over some ideas for video of “Rock'n'Roll Queen” on Monday. Well... Monday is over and I can announce that nothing has happened at all. Nobody even remembered about this. So probably now we have to choose some kind of a meeting secretary. That's how we will remember about our decisions and tasks and keep them organized.

In general Monday was quite successful for us:
 1) We had a rehearsal, played all the set-list and even tried to play Johnny Cash - Cry, Cry, Cry. This song was new for us so we didn't play it right. The silver line is that our set-list is growing day by day!
 2) We plugged in the sound card which Mickey brought from home. Right now drums and vocals are recorded through the mixing console in the line input, guitar and bass are recorded through the microphone-console-line input. The sound is so much better than from the HD-camera;
 3) The whole day Mickey, Mike and Alex were playing and exercising with their instruments. In the evening Mike started to edit sound and video recorded from the web-cam. That took a lot of time. At first he downloaded and installed trial versions of Adobe Audition and Premiere. He was trying to cut all background noises appeared. Then he combined video and audio. According to my calculations, it took about 6 hours, and the video is still converting;
 4) In the evening we went for a walk and then watched the film “Source Code”.

As a result, Monday was very productive for the band, and all of us went to bed happy. Well I'm going to sleep now because computer is making a very loud noise in the quite dark room.

P.S. Turned off computer but it turned on again... That's weird. I think I should pull out the power cord.
