Cricket Chirps and Audio Recording Don't Mix Well
I made some progress with song #2 this weekend, "Avalanche" (previously named "Take A Stand") after re-writing the chorus lyrics, and re-formating the verse melodies to give them a little more swing...something new for me. (The cello parts are still giving me trouble...)
I was going to try recording them all tonight, but immediately realized that would not be possible... We recently moved to a new apartment, and my "recording space" (i.e. part of a large living room/dining room space) now has a set of huge, glass sliding doors that open into a deck overlooking a backyard. The deck is great, but the crickets are craaazy loud. Normally, I love the sound, but it looks I'll have to wait until Fall or Winter to record anything after 8:00 PM.
Maybe I can use them to my advantage...like adding cricket chirps to the beginning of a track..?

Ckicket Chirps really worked for Buddy Holly and the Cricket.

I have a 3second attention span on music. I can tell within this time frame if i like or dont. I listen to the entire song. I enjoyed. Think the crickets could work, but will change the feel, which is not bad.

I have been experiencing the same issue and couldn't figure out what was causing the cricket sound. Finally, I have Weatherbug on my PC and noticed is was blinking. Clicked on the Options and alerts and sounds. Found that its alert is the cricket chirping noise. You can turn it off by taking off the check box. Hopefully this may help.
