Two caveats: 1) the lyrics are placeholder only, just to get a feel for the melody. I will likely change them all -- or most of them. 2) my Roxio mp3 ripper must suck. I rip at 128, but when I listen back to my own posts, they sound WAY compressed and "shiny." Are most others posting at 128 for bandwidth sake? Should I invest in a different ripper or rip at 160 or 192? This sounds 100% better as a WAV.
Thanks for your help again, ladies and gentlmen.
(P.S. I use an Aardvark LX6 soundcard, $60 Electrovoice mic, a Jackson PS-4 guitar through a Zoom 2020 effects board, Alesis QS6 keys, DR-008 drum machine and Cubase 5.1... so I have to work my ass off for decent sound.
