Geo a big Amen to that and thanks

thats great news Scott we need some good pickers welcome to the bass section

This is a nice first effort and I think if you feel you should modify the lyrics to reflect your feelings for this girl leave the lord out of it otherwise it sounds like a epitaph but its well written and as kap says learn chopro formating its really not that hard in chopro an easy song like "mary had a little lamb" what you need to do is use [song} in [ ] lower case brakets I had to use a } uppercase braket or it would have turnned chopro on then {t:for title and enclose it with a } uppercase braket and all chords are capital like [C]mary had a little lamb [G]little lamb [C]little lamb ect.. that will put the chords in blue print over the words where the chord change occurs and a minor is expressed as [Gm] capital G small m in brakets for the chorus {soc} abbreviation for "start of chorus" and {eoc} for end of chorus the chorus prints out like italalics and at the end of the song you have to put [/song] this turns off the chopro formating it only looks hard but its easier to learn then some video games ive seen

Did you download the tutorials? ok the first thing you will have to do is open the audacity program next you will have to click "edit" and scroll down to preferences and click that on and make sure the box that says "play other tracks while recording new ones is checked and click "ok" now on the right of the audacity screen there is a a picture of a small microphone and next to it is a arrow pointing down click on this arrow and a dropdown screen will appear click on "monitor input" and turn your volume on your guitar up and if you don't see any red meters moving after you play a chord click on the little microphone you should get some meter movement this tells you there is a signal comming in so all you have to do is put on your headset and click "record" the little red button in the row of buttons and start playing your will see a wave form,that is your guitar so record what you want and click the "stop" button and then click the 1st button "skip to start (thats rewind) and press the one next to it the "play"and you should hear what you recorded,to add a new track all you have to do is click record and it will play the track you recorded while recording a new one after you have recorded all the tracks you will have to pan them that control is on the left with the track volume for each track just move them so the vocals are in the center and the guitars are left and right and when your finished click "file" and select "export as a mp3" a screen will come up and ask you for the name and thats all you have to enter click ok and wait the audacity program will send a mp3 file to your "my documents" or just "documents" and if your not satisfied you can do a "quick mix" from the edit screen but before you get into the effects or editing make sure you have a mp3 sent to your files and it will ask you do you want to "save" this project in your satisfied with the results say no if not you can always remix or re record and if you run into any snags give a holler russell

06sc5oo yes you can plug your guitar into your computer but you will need an adapter plug, it has a female on one end that you plug your guitar into and a 1/8 inch mono plug on the other end that plugs into the microphone input on the back of your computer I would suggest downloading the first three tutorials on audacity from my mediafire link at the bottom just go to the audacity folder on mediafire and click on the "audacity" folder it will open up and reveal all the tutorials they are all wmv format so they should be viewable with your media player you can buy the adapter at radio shack for less then $5.00 just plug your guitar chord into the female end and plug the small mono plug into your mic input on the back of your pc as far as vocals you can use the same adapter if the microphone chord has a guitar plug !/4 inch(regular ol guitar chord end) the quality of your vocals will depend on your voice for one but the better the microphone the better the results so it really comes down to how much you have to spend but if you go to a music store you may ask if they have any used sure sm58 mic's if not ask if there is a mic that is comparable at a lower price, you never know you might get a bargain but if any members who read this post can point the way to a decent mic that is inexpensive please chime in russell

I think you can just start the record on audacity normally and after recording rewind(snap to beginning) and move your cursor to just before the wave form starts and highlight the area moving right to left to the beginning and then select "edit" and scroll to "silence" click and the noise will flat line and be gone

your on it in the lyrics page geo but melody can be chord changes to start and see what happens, a melodys bound to emerge sooner or later

thanks kenny just the fact that you posted a reply is good enough for now we are still in the early stages of setting this up so hang in there ok and thanks again
