Re: CAKE!
Terry, your mum's cake sounds divine. I love German cake as well as spicy British fruit cake. An ideal combination! It's a cold, rainy day here today so I am now dreaming of a spicy fruit cake.
Your signature Christmas-style fruit cake sounds superb too. My mum makes a good English-style Christmas boiled fruit cake, (with more butter than I care to think about) but she doesn't use tropical fruit. It would make sense to, given we live in a subtropical climate - and Christmastime here is prime mango season!
She also doesn't soak the fruit in port as you do...so it's intriguing to know what that would taste like! Mmmm...
RE: MIXING
Thanks for the links, I'll check 'em out. That's handy that you did night classes in recording technology. My state library has a free recording studio and computers with Logic and Pro Tools on them, so I've slowly been getting more comfortable using the equipment, but I certainly need to learn more about mixing! The library staff have started to let me use a nice Neumann microphone which they normally keep locked away, but trust me with it. I like it so much more for recording vocals than the Shure SM58 which I've previously used.
They only let people use the studio 4 hours a week though, and my ensemble's been recording in there in recent weeks, but I wish I could spend all my time in there!
