I second EddieRay's nomination of Audacity. It's free and it performs like something you should pay for. jay

I use software called Audacity. It is free and available at http://audacity.sourceforge.net/ It also has noise reduction and amplitude boost that Jeyan mentioned. jay

NOTHING BETTER THAN A CLASSIC... Words are flowing out like endless rain into a paper cup, They slither while they pass, they slip away across the universe Pools of sorrow, waves of joy are drifting through my open mind, Possessing and caressing me. Jai guru deva om Nothing's gonna change my...

Nilbog & applesmasher, Thanks for your comments. The song is incomplete as I'm not sure how to end it. I believe the order needs reworked... it does need a hopeful ending. I will try to post a rough recording soon. Jay

a bit too hateful and disjointed for my taste. i couldn't make it all the way through before going on to the next thread...sorry. jay

I play because I can...it's who I am. I play because it's part of me...my eyes, my ears, my hands, my feet. I play so I don't have to work. I always wanted a job where I can play. What do you do for a living? ..... I play! I play so I can live. It's my expression of the life I lead. My...

Here's an idea.... Sifting through the sands, I'm falling Falls right through my hands, I'm calling Can you stay See me through another day just a thought, jay

Here's some lyrics I wrote a few years ago. The story is incomplete and I'm not sure what to do with Louie. He's running away from something in his past when he falls head over heels with a blonde bombshell he meets in a bus station. However, he can't have her because "somebody else had...

I admire songwriters that write about what they know best. Lyrics are good and accurately reflect the "South's Gonna Rise Again" perspective. You certainly pushed some buttons based on the kind of responses on this thread...riles up all kinds of emotion...another characteristic of a good song...

Try variations on a theme and see where it leads you. For example take: Em C G D And change it to: Cmaj7 Am Em D OR For example take: G C Em D C And change it to: G7 C7 E7...

Everyone knows the story...Give a man some some fish and he eats for a day. Teach a man to fish and he eats for a lifetime. I challenge everyone that reads this post to take a minute or two and provide a URL (internet address) to their favorite "fishing lesson". To get the ball rolling, here's...

In what will most likely be a vain attempt to eliminate the unnecessary "hiss" in this thread, I'd like to thank Todzilla for providing this link. The articles are very helpful for someone just starting out. There are a couple more articles posted. Recording ABC's...

Nice! I agree you could bring the guitar up a bit. The piano is a great touch. Encore! More...more...more! Jay

lynx, You're the Moody Blues guy! Repost your song after you make changes. I'd like to see how things progress. Thanks for the comment...You're referring to Turkey Song, right? I'm remixing the vocals tonight. I hope to get it finished so I can repost it. Jay

lynx, I'm new to the forum, but have been encouraged by other members to offer my opinions. So, here they are.... Reminds me of the Moody Blues. I couldn't understand the lyrics all the time, but it didn't deter listening to the song. I really like the variety of sounds going on, but about...

Yep, this is my first try. Thanks for the compliment. I use a Pro Tools system using a Digi001. No bouncing between passes. I record rhythm guitar and vocals, then one-by-one add each instrument. A friend of mine does the drums. I wondered about that! I'll cut back the outer-space effect...

I'd appreciate any thoughts or comments on my first two attempts at recording/mixing... They are Christian songs called "Blessing" and "Turkey Song". Located at my web site.... http://jesusmusic.home.mchsi.com/index.html Or, if you prefer a direct route to the mp3...

craigmatic, I am new to home recording but have a moderate amount of studio experience as a musician. I started home recording this summer with a Digi001/Pro Tools LE setup by DigiDesign. I find it extraordinariliy easy to work with. And, if you already have a PC or Mac, it's well within your...

I agree it sounds like a job for Tech Support. However, before you call them...here's a few general ideas. Tech Support will undoubtedly ask about these. 1. Make sure your machine meets all Digi002 hardware compatibilities. These can be found on the Digidesign web site at...

I'll take a look...thanks!!! Jay
