on mothers day?

Bingo! you get a cupie doll without an audience whos to impress? and lets face it thats why we do it for ego sake forget noble causes its "hey ma look at me"

doc I hope you get to feeling better soon its hard to concentrate if your feeling under the weather take care

very well expressed I try to find positive things to remember of my mother and all I can think of is shes in a better place,she was a extrodinary person with a wonderful sense of humor and altho she never flounted it she had a great deal of wisdom and understanding and was very outspoken and not afraid to say what was on her mind I think I inherited the latter, but I wish all a happy mothers day, a day to cherish and a day to remember

Rgivens people can appropiate(steal,borrow ect...) even if your lyrics or music is copywrited a copyright only gives you a leg to stand on if you go to court and sue for plagerism(stealing someones ideas that are copywriten) I put songs on chordie or links to original songs on Utube and several sites and the time and date of posting a song is a form of proof you composed it first,so I woulden't be worried to much if your songs are being used by other artist it means your on the right track

doc  before I put the string in the hole I measure to the next tunning peg and cut the string that way I know its going to be long enough I put the string in the hole and give it slack and make a bend in the string about half a inch and I bend the string in the opposite direction I turn the peg to tune I do this with all my strings so the e,a,d line up on the right side of the posts and the g,b,e,on the left this way they all go in the grooves at the headstock and you dont have a lot of loose string length to stick you wind each string and with the right hand(if your right handed) pull up and keep tension on the string as you bring it up to pitch do this with all the strings and dont worry about it being right in tune save that for the tunner also the strings will slip a bit and till there stretched you will have to play them and retune a few times till they seat and you should not have any problems after that

hhaus1 I finely found someone older then me im a spry 66 and I see theres still fire out there its good to know the interest and love for music extends for life keep pickin and thanks for making my day russ

james if you need any assistance you only have to ask I will be more then glad to help you or anyone who needs a little tech advise and I appreciate your nice words It offers me encouragement and we all need that I forgot to mention that after all the tracks were recorded and mixed, and the mixing first involves panning (posistioning a track) this is a important step because if you put two or more tracks on the same spot you will have less control over it and it sounds better when it has a place of its own adjusting the eq's of each track this involves adjusting the frequency in megahertz and db's(decibels) or volume you turn all the other track faders to zero and work with one track at a time adding delay,reverb is important you dont want delay on percussion or bass because it distracts from the rhythm section and the rythem section is the foundation so it has to be solid there are exceptions to this as some drum tracks are purposely mixed to use this effect all thats left is to mix all the tracks this can be the hardest part,the vocals must always be on top and panned to the center with all the other instruments to the left and right of the vocals try keeping the drums and bass close together without to much separation also any rhythem guitar the keys or harp and lead should occupy there own posistion on the pan meters last I feed this mixed song into audacity via the mic imput and adjust for fade in fade out and compression(removing any unwanted spikes) the finished mp3 is exported to my files for upload or as a audio track for windows movie maker and the audio and video must be alinged so the words match the video,when I film a video I sing to the audio track and adjust the balance in the movie maker so its as close as possible or dead on and thats how I record and produce my videos hope this helps.
