I really am not that familar with I tunes but if your going to record your songs can you record them on I tunes or do you still need a program like guitar pro 3 or Reaper,Audacity to render them as mp3's to burn to disk? smile

ken once you have all the songs use the windows media player and burn a list to a CD but in order to render these songs to mp3 you will need Audacity or some software program to convert it, it would help if you had Nero it would assemble all the songs and even out the volumes and space them at 2 sec intervals and burn the CD as well smile

Crevs the 5 posistion selecter switch is for useing split tones the posistion toward the strings splits the middle and rear pickups and the posistion away from the strings splits the middle and front pickups, its all a matter of taste I personally like the middle and front sound for country leads and a clean sound with an edge the other is more a blues mello type its all up to what you prefer smile

I havent had any tuning problems since the neck broke after a night of celebrating my buddy and I glued it back together funny thing it stays in tune better now then when it was new lol

Yea i guess were not all that different,down deep inside I think we both got off on the wrong track and we both share a common interest we both love music and Chordie smile

I guess I'm missing this one too. Maybe I should pay more attention to the content here on Chordie. Surely All1Song isn't using Chordie as a spamming tool to promote himself .?.......

When I first read this topic and the subsequent posts I was reluctant to add anything as it sounded like a requiem for Chordie given all the problems Per has had to deal with to comply and keep this ship afloat,and to be honest I too owe much to this entity we have all come to love as a family, and with any family there will be squabbles and disagreements and it matters little if you were right or wrong that's human nature,Chordie has provided me with the opportunity to introduce a recording forum and collaborate with musicians from all over this world in addition to making cyber friendships with many members so I do not intend to say "I will miss Chordie" that would be like abandoning a ship that is still floating I only will say may she keep sailing with a stiff wind in her sails to new horizons smile

I think this will work for you, I recently purchased a 4 channel mixer priced around the same and I can run a guitar mic and effects and control each channels volume I play thru a small 30w amp that only has one input so I know it will work smile

Nice one Ken I noticed you looked out the window a few times like your were expecting someone and why would you need a battery for an acoustic guitar unless it were plugged in or did you need the battery for something else? anyhow good to see ya picking and singing smile

Headcase I read your post regarding tenor banjo I think it depends on what you intend to play on it (style of music) if its bluegrass or folk you will need to study fingerpicking and I'm sure there are some books available for tenor guitar or ukes and you did say the banjo was turned like the top 4 strings of a guitar so search for these,useing picks is not required I play finger style and dont use one its up to you smile

Tony I agree if you are going to be playing larger rooms a pa is needed I dont know what the policy in the uk is but over here most of the music stores will accept time payments on a small pa system and for a solo act you dont want to be hauling around a lot of gear check and see if you can get a small pa that will do the job it could be used or new or buy another small amp smile

I agree with Russell "most just use the site for songs searches and dont participate in forum discussions". Also, many subscribers  ask a question at one moment and never visit the forums again.

Hi Issac and welcome to Chordie and the recording forum the steps you mention seem like a good program to follow if your playing all the parts yourself but it seems if you have a band you may lose some of the quality by not recording the whole group instead of layering separate tracks,there is a difference with a group the overall sound to me seems better because you feel better when recording because you like the sound and therefor you will play a little more inspired but you would need more microphones and unless you can get or have them you will have to do it the way you mentioned smile

If I were recording to actually cut a track, I would use a computer program and it would take a lot more patience.  Probably laying down the drums and bass first.  Next guitar, then vocals, followed by any other strings, synths, etc.

not at the moment Ark but I just finished a chess tournament(I won) and will have more time to devote to my new loop pedal and I'm sure ideas will start coming to me once I get going with it, Fire of Light is a bit slower but there are some similarities in places more to do with my style of playing smile
