Free advice G'mornin Layla, 3 smidgens of free advice (1...It's worth what ya paid for it) 2) Try reading "Zen Guitar" by Philip Toshio Sudo. It's great bathroom reading (short chapters) and required reading for anybody that asks me for guitar lessons. 3) Watch out for the "3 P" syndrome...

Runnin' outta RAM G'mornin Gentlefolks, Y'all sure have made me feel welcome! Hi again Theron, Excellent idea! It woulda took me years to figure that one out. I'm definitely gonna turn on the metronome, count out intro beats and perform the song like I would live. Then scrap that track later...

Nother great suggestion G'dafternoon Joe, Loud and obnoxious...Ahhh, the good ol' days. Great idea about turning down the Vox in the headphones. But, I don't know if I can do that. I can turn them off, I think. I'll have to go in and investigate. I'm using N-track. Thanks for the tip. Cause...

Thank you Everyone G'mornin Folks, This was my 1st digital recording and I knew that there were a ton of issues. But, I was getting so confused (at my age, my brain needs constant de-fragging) that I decided to post so I would get some concrete direction. I'm gonna print this out (along with...

JPF How do Patti, Another resource that you may find interesting; http://www.justplainfolks.org/home.html Check out the boards. You don't need to join to lurk. They lean towards the Nashville scene. But, after all, what do I know? Bill

I think G'mornin 64Firebird, Once upon a time, I locked myself in a room,for a couple of months, with a Happy Traum book, a Stephan Grossman book and a couple of oz's. I would play the same passage over and over, ad nauseum, and never get tired of it. When I surfaced, I was hungry and drove too...

Rhythm guitar Auburncatfish, Good work. For the most part, I really enjoyed listening to this. However, the rhythm guitar (which is the glue that binds this) was so dominant that I had to work hard at hearing the other parts, including the vocal at places. Was that a mandolin? Cool! Maybe it's...

My Newbie is showing What do ya mean? Don't forget......... You'll also need an "editor". I would suggest Sound Forge 6.0 by Sonic Foundry. What does an editor do? Ignorantly yours, Bill

Uh Oh G'mornin all, SLuiCe, Thanks for the kind words. A condenser mic. Uh Oh. I just blew my whole wad on a new computer. I guess that I'll have to re-read Harvey's novel about mics. Maybe I'll click the mid-boost switch on my old KGB D330BT first and see what kinda difference that makes. I...

Well, here goes, First post. I'm hoping for any advice or suggestions except; a)Don't quit your day job, b)Practice, practice, practice c)What did you do with the money that your Mama gave you for lessons? I just needed to post something before falling victim to the "3 P syndrome". Shame on Me...

Unfinished? How do Gerry, I enjoyed this. I made me smile. I especially like the lyrics (background). They said much. Is this an unfinished work? I was sorta expecting it to break into something else. Or, maybe it's a short ditty to tie two songs together on an album? Seems to me that it would...

Yup Chris, Works for me if it works for you. It's better than my example. But, you got the point. One more little suggestion, if you don't mind. To tie your new line to the lines before it you may want to say something like; I guess I should try to just enjoy the ride As I may never be coming...

couplets How do Chris, This was a fun read. Not too abstract, but enough so that I can divine my own meaning (i.e. pesonalize the song). Especially liked the couplets. Which brings me to my teenie, tiny nit. In all the verses except v1, you have couplets in the 3rd and 7th lines. Maybe in line...

On the hunt Badassmak, I just hopped, willy-nilly, from site to site trying to find what I read about the 16bit-24bit thing but no luck yet. However, when I went to the Turtle Beach site (I have a Santa Cruz card) I found this; >96 dB signal to noise ratio with high resolution 18-bit analog to...

Thanks Badassmak, Thanks for the gentle nudge. I went and pushed all the buttons and you're absolutely correct. Arranger, Thanks for letting me know that I wasn't the only one that was a smidge confused. Both versions are full featured. You don't need the 24 bit version if you have a 16 bit...

Howdy All, My wife convinced me that we needed to get a real computer because the boy is gonna enter high school. The old, patch-work piece of crap was always crashing and freezing from spooler errors, insufficient stack pages, etc. Unacceptable! Okay, so I call Dell. Get out my credit card. And...
