Hi siggi56/Bill
Welcome to Chordie.
I saw a TV documentary on Terry Pratchett who has been diagnosed with early-onset Alzheimer’s he had his way with coping with his illness and I'm sure you have your own. Music is a great way of taking your mind off your troubles even if it's only for a short while..:)

Hi shuvelhead

Check out the recording forum for lots of info on recording your songs to the PC.
Quite a few of us use Myspace to show case our songs also Soundclick Ourstage and Reverbnation all host songs for free. Each is a bit different it depends what you want to do with your songs…
Adding more chords to a progression could create more interest as would bass walks etc..
If your looking to embellish your songs with other instruments then multi tracking would be the way to go.

Hi KajiMa
Well done in putting your first song up on the forum...
"Swimming with Dolphins" sounds almost like an title for an Ambient piece..:)
Hope you can get the song on the net so we can hear the melody etc..

Hi Riverdales
I don't think you were being flippant. It was the sort of comment I would have made years back. I was into Led Zep etc then and had no idea who Mozart was other than old dead composer. He certainly didn't inspire me......
It wasn't until I got older (I know boring) that I got into classical music and I realised it true worth to modern day music.
Saying who was influcenced by who can be become partly misleading as all modern day music and musical styles owe their exsistence to composers/musicians like Mozart, Bach, Beethoven the list goes on and on.

Hi runout
The best way to go is to save your songs to Mp3 if you can or convert your wave files into Mp3 with Audacity or a wave to mp3 converting app.
Then use the windows media player. You drag and drop you Mp3 files to the burn section. Then burn them to a disc windows will automatically convert them to a CD format which will play on an ordinary CD player.
I've done this with my stuff and it plays ok on the car CD player.
Don't burn files as MP3 as they won't play on a bog standard CD player..
Hope this helps

I dumped Norton years ago expensive and just to much trouble with pop up worrying wanrings..
Chased the files down and deleted most. Then tried free AVG from Grisoft and it has been fine. Use the free ZoneAlarm firewall and your protected for Nothing..
Why pay?

Hi anastasiak112
To record a guitar and vocals all you need is
A computer interface this could be a multi track as said but not necessarily just a device you can plug your mic and guitar in. The interface would be plugged into your computer.
I would use Audacity software to to record each track separately though you could record both guitar and vocals together if you wanted.
Most modern computers have a sound card able to record ok.
Russ has some tutorials on Audacity software..
hope this helps
