I have 2 more shows this weekend. Big ones. Wish me luck.
Good luck!
- I have officially given up on learning Chris Cornell. His range is 4 octaves greater than mine and I can't pull anything off without sounding lame.
- Wrapping up Bobbie McGee.
- Learning Taxi.
- I am also trying to add the following to my solo acoustic repertoire: A Kiss To Build A Dream On, El Paso, I Wish.
I'm starting to sculpt 2-3 set lists. I ran through my first one last night and, well, it needs work! Way too chill for a first set. maybe a good final set, but I don't want bar patrons falling asleep on me either.
How do you put together your set lists? Any tricks or secrets you use to make sure you get that perfect balance?
Cheatin' cuz this is a repost, but I have a SOTM backlog and Harry Chapin is going to be a bear.
Joey is humble but he's also winning car shows like Quincy Jones wins Grammys.
I met Vernon Reid (Living Color) at a casino in Vegas. I jammed with Phil Guy and Ronnie Baker Brooks (two different occasions). I got backstage to meet Bruce Hornsby after a show in Vegas. He was one of the nicest people you'd ever like to meet. Finally I met and spoke with BB backstage after a show; that was a fun one. He asked me how long I've been playing, I said since the age of 5. He looks at me with a straight face and says "wow. I started when I was 11. By the time you're my age you'll be a lot better than me."
It's a pretty simple mixer. Only has one out, not one out per Channel.
this the one?

Outstanding post Jerome !! Almost a mini-course in itself, great information !
One point I forgot to include in my post, is that old Geezers like me HAVE to record separate tracks for instrument and voice, or we'll wind up with a whole stack of trash tracks.
Multi-tasking and doing both things (playing & singing) well, past a certain age becomes..... let's say "less certain".
This is a great point Doug, and I should mention (if it helps shape the advice provided) that I have zero interest in multitracking...what i'm trying to do is capture live performance. I like the live sound, don't mind mistakes, and have no patience for recording scratch tracks, going back and re-recording vox, etc.
Thx

In a certainly self-indulgent moment and to mark my 40th birthday in June, I select "A Pirate Looks at 40."
I'm doing them too I SWEAR
hi BGD,
i just looked up the sony pcm, and it looks good, but i believe it's a single track recorder? so....if you want to make multi track recordings, you know add a lead guitar, bass or harmony vocal, i would lay down a guitar/vocal track on your pcm, down-load that to your computer program, you don't say which program you have so i'll take it as audacity? there are multi track options on most DAWS so you'll be able to put your extra instruments/vocals on there and mix down later.
as for FX, you can also add those on most DAWS during or after recording. if you're going to use your PA as a pre-amp for the guitar i would use some reverb and chorus. vocals always sound better with plenty of reverb.
yup it's just a single track. I don't intend to add drums or other instruments, just me and an acoustic.
Re your software question, yes audacity. I also have Garage Band but think I prefer Audacity.
Finally what do you suggest for vocal reverb? I have plenty of stomp boxes for the guitar but no fx for voice.
EDIT: Just read that my new PA has a variable digital delay...perhaps there's a way to dial that down to reverb-sounding?
I dont really have a setup..just like the idea of being able to record using these lines out rather than just putting a mic in a room...
I'm extremely lazy when it comes to recording. I generally hit record on the computer using little more than a Blue Snowball. When I get really fancy I break out my SONY PCM, put it on the couch next to me, and start singing.
Now that I have a fancy new PA (thanks again to Russell for the suggestion), I would like to leverage the enhanced recording capabilities now at my disposal.
Any tips are appreciated. Specific questions:
1. Is there a reason for me to record to my Sony PCM-M10 and then dump it all to my computer later, or should I just run a line out from the PA in to the computer and record direct to my hard drive? (My computer will handle the task just fine.)
2. Do you all use any effects on your instruments or record using a dry signal and add effects later?
3. With that cheapo Dean Markley acoustic pup that mounts in my sound hole, will I need some kind of preamp to boost my guitar's signal or does that sucker drive adequately?
4. Anything else?
I'm going to do them both tonight or tomorrow night.
It is beyond ridiculous that chord pro still doesn't work 2 1/2 years after it went down. It's not an insult, it's a fact. REEE Dik You Lusss.
Go build your own site that does it and let us know.
Post a link to the song and I guarantee someone here will help you with the chords. 
I'm just getting better from an illness that took my voice. 
I've been monitoring but not participating or playing much. Have nasty cravings at present.
So sorry for your loss KIR.
Power issue where you were playing and the pedals weren't getting enough juice? I always bring batteries in case I'm playing somewhere with bad power
Thanks Beamer I'll spend some time w these resources soon!
The one Russell suggested above! For the price point why not?
I had to think about this for a minute, I guess my top four if I had to play off the cuff in hurry would be copper head road, wish you were here, pirate looks at forty and oil field trash. I can play those even when I am hammered
I almost have Pirate Looks at 40 memorized!
Yup that is my worry too... so I just bought a system.

Thank you for that link. I've been researching but hadn't found a well-reviewed one under $400-$500. I'm going to pick this up today.
