I had no idea to be honest. I would ask you all the questions but I'll suprise myself now when I listen to it at the moment I'm just mega chuffed that my songs been recorded, even if I'm not the one to do so. And also, what's this recording thing that you're using?

Cubase, an audio-technica PRO22a dynamic mic (a stage/practise vocal mic), a YAMAHA MG10/2 mixing console (a little one, for amplifying the signal from the mic) and a guitar. I recorded the guitar down to a click first through the mic, then recorded the vocal seperate to it. Then I delete a bit at the beginning of the vocal track to account for the latency (time delay) in the system, add a bit of compression and reverb to correct for the proximity effect of the dynamic mic (you don't get room acoustics with a dynamic mic, so you have to add them) adjust the levels and the mix it down. And voila, there's our song!

There was me thinking you could get a music programme where you don't need any of the gadgets and expensive equipment, you just get guitar backing beats to make it sound like you've got a badn behind you and you can just sing over it.

Can you get one of those? Cos I'd be well on my way if you could.

The program I've got allows you to put in a few instruments. Its only really useful for drums and basslines, but its a start.

Beyond this you definitely need:
1. A microphone to put the voice through. Mine would probably cost £15-20 if I ebayed it now.
2. Guitars, if you want guitar backing. Computerised guitars don't sound like guitars. Computerised drums and bass and keyboards can be pretty realistic though.

The mixing desk makes the sound clearer and louder, but you can still get enough for a song without anything amplifying the signal before it gets to the computer.

In other words, if you just want to rap or sing to drum and basslines, you can get away with just a mic and a recording program. If you want guitars, then for a basic sound you can just use a cheap acoustic and put it through the same mic you use for the vocals.

On a seperate note... what the hell is taking my song so long? I put it there twenty minutes ago now.

Can you tell me when it is up please? My computer is going to slow and I can't afford to load up different sites at the moment.

Will do. I'll see if I can put the song somewhere else and link it until myspace hurries up.

The song is there. Let me know if there's a problem with it.
