The second shorter version of Delta bounce. This has the strummed ending (but some snapping bass in the beginning as well!) and a little more harmonica.

Here’s a shorter version of the Delta bounce. It features the Patton trademark walking bass and ends when the harmonica enters.

In case you haven’t tired from my posts on what microphones are and how to use them, you can check out Audio Geek Zines post. It’s a more technical post than mine.
Below are the previous posts that I have written on microphones.

One of the musicians that has inspired my acoustic guitar playing very much is Charley Patton. He only recorded during the 30’s and passed away way to soon. This clip features the trademark playing by Patton with a very aggressive bass. He played it on an acoustic guitar, and I usually do that as well, but for this clip I did it on an electric. It also includes some strange drums and a harmonica.
This clip is actually rather long, I’ll post shortened edited versions at some other time.

ThoseShows has started a blog where you can follow their attempts to start a podcast network. Sounds like a good idea. Be sure to check it out here.

Fading in or fading out are essentially increasing or lowering the volume gradually. While it can be done by just using the volume control, it is handled differently in most modern audio editors. Most often you decide how long the fade should be (i.e. how long it should take for it to reach the full volume), and in some cases also the fade curve. The curve decides the behavior of the fade, for instance if it perhaps should reach a high volume quickly and fade in the last bit slowly or vice versa.
A crossfade is a fade between two signals (”pieces of audio” if you will) that fades out from one and into the other. It can be used for cool transitions form one signal to another, but it is also very common to use as a editing tools for cleaning up noise.
