Kenny congratulations, the first song is a hurdle and I know there are many here at chordie who have faced it including myself and I can recall the first time I got a myspace account I was worried if people would like my songs but as time went on I came to realize it was unimportant as long as I liked them and then it was youtube so you see all of these steps are just small hurdles and like all things in life you take them on one at a time because there will always be another,you should be proud of your accomplishment and I know how hard you worked to get this first song because you just about wore out my ear on googletalk seriously you did a great job and like anything there's always room for improvement so keep at it.

Getfiddle are you saying you were at your girlfriends place listining to tree frogs? hmmm "well I think you may be spending to much time on your computer"

as soon as I finish editing the vids i will post to chordie and they will be in the same location on my mediafire account and its all a dream come true for me or for anyone who is a composer i would imagine so I'll keep you all posted

With the labor day holiday a lot of people were away so I have decided to extend the planned deadline to October 1st and because some people are not able to compose in a short time so in order to give those who wisely spent the time with friends and family to submit there recording of the challange the additional time and any comments are always welcome

Thank you Roger for the good information and for anyone just starting out and thinking about recording there first song and after all these years I still get a little edgy when standing in front of a microphone but that usually go's away after the first few bars and then I settle down and listen to each track and see if I can improve it. Recording is important and having a good microphone is essential but the proof in the pudding is in mixing and the more you work with different effects and how to pan tracks or bounce them the better your recording will sound and the audacity series covers a lot of these editing procedures and that is there purpose to make it easier for anyone just starting out with recording to advance there knowledge and put out a better sounding song and thanks again Roger for posting this

I was using martin silk n steel for over 10 yrs and I just tried a set of elixir lights so far the tone has not diminished noticeably I like the sound and feel of the silk n steel better but they do wear out quicker but i haven't given up on them I may flip flop between the elixirs and silk n steel just for variety

I agree and now the football season is starting along with the end of the baseball and golf season its to bad there isn't a "recording season" yea there lots of distractions out there to be sure but (that word again) like a good roast it takes time to cook

Today marks the second week the recording forum was opened,like anything new there will always be room for improvement but overall I am pleased with the interest members of chordie have shown towards this forum and all the helpful suggestions and ideas that have been submitted.The Audacity series of tutorials has received a lot of downloads from my mediafire account along with the collaboration on the song by jacoby jam composed by Randy and Scott (riddler and fatstrings) and several different mixes from members were passed along the net highway including Doug's and mine along with added guitar tracks from me and what has been shown is the original "Idea 2" worked and as more members learn to use the information from the audacity series there will be an increase in requests for tracks to be added,most of these request so far have been passed via Google talk where privacy and real time communication is made possible and members of chordie have seen and talked to each other for the first time using the video cam site tokbox which has allowed video conferencing between several members from all over the world and helped to bring us closer as a musical community and chordie family and in the days to come I look forward to topics and requests for help with adding tracks or mixing songs to be submitted by more members and to make this recording forum a place that is not only enjoyable but also an informative page to visit.

Off hand the only one that comes to mind is Rod Stewart he was in the Jeff Beck group and on the "Truth" LP his voice was, and still is unique especially on the song "Shapes"
