It is worth it. This Berhinger does a fine job for the price and my purposes. It has far more uses than just songs. I originaly bought it because it was cheaper and far more versatile than a lopper as long as you are playing by a computer like I do. It is really handy for A/B sound samples too.

Well Ray, you certainly put yourself out there....that's the inspiring part. You have nothing to be embarrassed about tough. I understand it completely, as I'm the same way.
The past two years, ive been jamming with a group of guys, and there are always others hanging in the band room.....it's pushed me past my comfort zone. It's been good for me. Now I want to take on another front, and recording may be it. I'll continue my research and see where it takes me.

Putting yourself out there is one of the big differences between those who succeed and those who do not.
You will never hit the bullseye, let alone the target, if your not actually shooting at the target - know what I mean.
P.S. - I just got done listening to your tune - too cool, too cool and keep on keeping on...

Thank you!
I don't come in to this room much...I ought to though.
Nice job Ray. Good concept for sure. Thanks for sharing.

Thanks! I am happy with the guitar, but have not been able to listen to it due to my singing!
Well, I just made it through.
It is what it is...a learning experience.
You mentioned learning about timing...
Did you play to a click track?
Some people like something percussive to time to when laying vocal tracks...wether it's a percussive acoustic track, bass track, screatch drum track, or a click that's not annoying. None of those have to remain on the final mix, it's just a comfort thing.
I often use a click, or kick track on solo acoustic stuff...not always, but often.

How far off was my timing? You can be honest - I posted this more to learn by putting myself out there rather than for any sort of praise or thought that this was "track worthy"
Thanks
I wasn't keeping time. I was listening to the acoustic, and the vocal arrangement. I noticed what I interpreted as some discomfort with the rap/spoken cadence. I thought perhaps it was because of the soft rhythm of the acoustic...not poor, but not well defined enough to key the vocal rhythm off of?
I'm just guessing. It could have been just a need for more rehearsal of the arrangement to gain comfort.
I only listened to it once.

Thanks for the feedback. A portion of my problems arose from my recording skills. I never put three tracks together before. Recording is tough!
Hahahaha! You'll get used to it!
The toughest part for me is figuring out just what I want to anchor a recording(if I'm not using a drummer/drum tracks). What am I going to use to guide all of the little pieces together?...
Often times I choose my tempo, and record a rudimentary kick track to guide me. This gives a foundation for all of the ensuing tracks to build upon.
It depends on how much I feel a need for it. Often times a simple click track will suffice...I may record a guide rough guitar track to build from, that gets discarded in the final mix.

Good advice. I have been winging it. Next time I will take a more measured approach, like you do. Thanks again.
either.
Then maybe I can play along with you fellows...
When I was recording at home in 2011, I was experimenting with Cool Edit Pro. I liked it because it was really simple. Now, I've stopped going crazy on guitars long enough to buy a good USB interface, vocal mic and all the hardware to go with my dedicated recording PC, which is loaded with Audacity and I think Adobe Audition.
I guess I am easily distracted.
