But your singing on this one is very good, and the song seems to be more comfortably in your vocal range. -Joe- |

08 Aug 12 - 02:48 AM (#3387422) Subject: RE: My Little Castagnette- Morwen singing From: Joe Offer Well, I haven't had problems with distortion in Audacity. You just have to watch the "scope" on Audacity to see where you're distorting, and adjust input volume accordingly. I usually record onto my Zoom Handy H2 recorder, and then load the recordings from the SD chip to the computer and then edit with Audacity. Can't say I've had much experience recording with Audacity, but it's great for editing. Now, if you're using a computer sound card and computer microphone for recording, you're doing yourself a disservice because they won't fit your dynamic range. -Joe- |

08 Aug 12 - 04:57 AM (#3387474) Subject: RE: My Little Castagnette- Morwen singing From: MorwenEdhelwen1 Just a computer microphone. I've just figured out how to record on GarageBand. |

The women are spoils of war, and I've always seen this song as a song about homeisckness, "My little castagnette, never let me be forgetting my Spain." Any comments on my acting? |

Attenpting what are quite difficult pieces you seem to be trying to run before you can walk. john |
