Yes I agree the terminology can be daunting, that's why I don't use it. However we haven't got to the mixing stage yet so some might have to come in and be explained as we go. I am trying KISS just now and I appreciate that it's like driving a car to me so I have to be aware of the things I do without thinking about it. For example I haven't covered input levels and how the effects of adding EQ can change the peaks, distortion, and all the rest of it. I did say that using the Roland V drums takes a lot of the hardship away as the samples are good to start with and the overall level is the only consideration to start with. We can cover the mechanics easily but we still have to get people to train their ears. That's why I think the suggestion made by somebody to upload some WAVS to have a mess around with is a good idea. At least that way the recording work is done and they can start on an even playing field. But that is for later and I will endeavor to post the bass and electric/acoustic guitars from the track for now. Thanks for your input though it has made me think a bit deeper into what I actually do once I put the jack plug in. Sounds so basic doesn't it but that's where it all starts. Like when you get in a car, you automatically look in the mirror and check for neutral gear before you even put the key in and start up. Catch my drift?
