First of all... my process of thinking sometimes is obscure and makes absolutely no sense at all. For that.. I apologize. Back last year my business partner was borrowing some studio quality recording equipment from a neighbor who wanted to sell it.

He quoted my business partner a generous price and I got convinced to buy it. It might not be top of the line but it's a very, very, very nice little setup that records some very high quality sound.

And with the software... it's nice. Why would I ever do something like this? Well I had visions of podcasts and netcasts dancing in my head. Now I have a different ideas. But that really isn't appropriate for this forum. This isn't the 100 ways I can promote a business.

But as I was putting myself through the crash course on how to finally use this equipment... I had something creep into my mind. A friend of mine has a son that plays the bagpipe. I would of course do anything for my friend for free. I'm just like that.

But how would I record the bagpipe? How low would I need to set the microphone sensitivity... etc.. Or would it even be doable indoors. I know the bagpipe has quite a push for volume.

Curious thoughts to be sure.
