Blademan_98 Posted December 19, 2012 Share Posted December 19, 2012 Thanks for the encouragement is it appreciated! The lyrics I like and will keep but the rest........ a rewrite is in order. I never seem to give myself space for everything to gel. Still, I finish for the year on Friday so I am determined to get an entry in Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bobby K Posted December 20, 2012 Share Posted December 20, 2012 Right then, here's my effort, make of it what you will.

Bobby K Posted December 21, 2012 Share Posted December 21, 2012 My home "studio" is quite paltry to be honest (computer, two programs, audio interface, the odd mic or two, some imagination) - can't always get that last one working though!

SpaceChick Posted December 21, 2012 Share Posted December 21, 2012 I know I can link my bass up to the PC through my pedal, I'm sure we have a microphone of some description here. My issue is other instruments (drums, keys etc). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bobby K Posted December 21, 2012 Share Posted December 21, 2012 The main thing with PC's is having a decent sound card to handle latency. I've got an external one, which is basically my audio interface. i can plug, guitar, bass and microphones in through it (basically anything with a jack or XLR plug) This is what I've got, a few years old now though, but does the job for me. Not very expensive either: http://www.google.co.uk/imgres?hl=en&sa=X&tbo=d&biw=1024&bih=653&tbm=isch&tbnid=sRKItVI9TlIkyM:&imgrefurl=http://www.avforums.com/forums/computer-components/875658-getting-5-1-sound-using-edirol-ua-25-a.html&docid=jn2jd9vzT8O4OM&imgurl=http://www.avforums.com/forums/attachments/computer-components/99289d1228133742-getting-5-1-sound-using-edirol-ua-25-4039.jpg&w=900&h=597&ei=IEnUUIu9D8aB0QHgjIBY&zoom=1&iact=hc&vpx=4&vpy=136&dur=3065&hovh=183&hovw=276&tx=135&ty=201&sig=114548439787945012160&page=1&tbnh=147&tbnw=204&start=0&ndsp=12&ved=1t:429,r:0,s:0,i:88 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It can be a bit daunting when you start out (it was for me anyway), but you can work out the basics of recording, adding drums, other instruments, etc, quite quickly. Plenty of good tutorials on YouTube and plenty of folk here happy to help out. No excuses SpaceChick... go for it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stephen Houghton Posted December 21, 2012 Share Posted December 21, 2012 Ive got a version of Abletone live 8.1.1 going if you want it Space Chick, email me your address and i will send you one if you like. I use it and its fine and has drum loops and other stuff with it. You would just need a cheap Audio Interface (about £40) and you have your recording studio setup. You can the record bass straight into your computer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Me and the missus had right old chuckle, but you know, there's also pathos in there too. The fact that you knocked it together in an afternoon is impressive, I spent an age on mine, chopping and changing and getting fed up lol Well done Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wouldn't have toned down the lyrics at all. I wrote some truly shockers in one of the bands i was in, Band of Gold.
