What to Give the Budding Musician
 Are you looking for something unusual to give to a musically-inclined loved one for Christmas this year? Do they like to sing or play an instrument? Have they ever said they'd like to make a CD? Well, maybe a recording session might be in order. You won't have to worry about size or colors. All you have to decide is whether you want one or two (or maybe more) 8-hour recording sessions. Most musicians can record several songs in a session—probably four would be considered average. All you need to do is call Los Senderos Studio at 512-565-0446 and order a gift certificate. You can charge it by phone or mail a check. As soon as your order is processed, we will mail your certificate back to you. Hurry, you'll want make sure to do this in time for Christmas.
Oh, one more thing. Use the coupon below and save $50 on your gift certificate. Do it today.

The Harmony Singers
Release CD as Fundraise
Singer-songwriter and artist Tressie Seegers works with a group of special needs children with a program of education in arts and music. As a part of this program she regularly takes a number of these kids to perform before live audiences at various music venues in the Austin area. She calls the group the Harmony Singers and from time to time they are joined by other musicians in the area.
On November 24, the Harmony Singers performed several Christmas songs at Waterloo Ice House at South Park Meadows in South Austin. Los Senderos Studio was there to record them. The tracks are now being mixed and a CD will soon be released by Red Boot Music. All proceeds from the sale of the CD will go to support the education through art and music program for these special needs kids. You will soon be able to purchase your copy of A Harmony Christmas at YourTexasMusic.com. Buy several for Christmas gifts. The price will be $10 including tax and shipping.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q. What instruments and equipment do I need to bring to the studio?
A. Bring your guitars, bases, etc. and your amps and cabinets along with all necessary cables. We may not use them if we go direct in, but sometimes for a particular sound, miking the cabinet is the best way to achieve a particular sound. (See the next question.)
Q. Is it better to go direct in (DI) or to mike an acoustic guitar? Electric guitar? Bass?
A. Often the best sound in the studio is achieved with a high quality microphone and an acoustic guitar, but there are times when a DI gives the desired sound for a particular track. Sometimes we do both and blend the mic track and the DI track to produce an especially pleasing effect. So, don't hesistate to experiment. The same goes for the electric guitar. Sometimes DI is the way to go, but other times (especially if you use special effects with your amp) it may better to mic the guitar speaker cabinet. More often than not, the bass will go DI. But there are occasions when miking the cabinet can produce that punchy sound you're looking for.
