  A little James Blunt

Well had to take the weekend off from playing since I hurt my arm. Been spending a lot of time going through this site, which has been a lot of fun.

Decided to post my first ever tune, something I did earlier this month. It was a recording breakthrough since it's the first time I did two tracks and mixed them together into an .mp3. This is also the first time I've ever posted anything public.

There's a mistake or two, but I was to lazy to try and record it again. Any comments welcome.

Thats a good effort, I did the same a few months ago but it does miss the lyrics! Trouble is Mr Blunt has a great unique voice that is so hard to replicate. It is also difficult to play solo as the rhythm is capo'ed on the 8th???? Fret but the riff is un-capo'ed

Very nice job! I think your playing is quite good.

There sounds like there may be some recording latency between the tracks - something that plagues PCs when one track is playing and you record another track over it, and the time it takes for the PC to get the sound to your recording software causes a small offset or delay between the tracks. It's something that I had a lot of trouble with, until nocat (Ben) recommended I get an ASIO driver - which gets rid of most of the latency. I use Audacity, so I got asio4all and it's really helped. Here's what Ben said, along with a link to get the ASIO driver:

Quote:
Not a stupid question at all... ASIO is an audio compression driver developed by
Steinberg (the Cubase people), and basically what it does is reduce latency in systems
that are equipped with sound cards that support it...
Now, for cards that don't support native ASIO, there is asio4all, specifically designed
for those systems...!!!
It's a set of drivers that you install which will make your system ASIO compatible...

Check out this link... It's a free download: http://www.asio4all.com/

You may already know all this, but just in case I thought it might help.

Keep 'em coming!

Jim thank you for the observations, I think I have the ASIO driver, however I'll double check. More likely scenario is me coming in at the wrong place!

I agree with Jim that it's not quite synced, but it does sound good.
