CB's debut

[aeolian]

Terrific performance from both of you!

I'm a huge Garbage fan, I love much of the stuff that they've put out. And Shirley Manson is pretty amazing. But CB, you do the song justice with your vocals and Shiner does the song justice with his rhythm work.

The CD is on its way Street. Price is $1,000,000.00 plus tax. I know that's a lot, but I only need to sell one . . . then I can retire.

and CB can continue to work?

Its got a little of that early Neil Young vibe to it too...well done guys a relaxing treat to listen to

Y'all are very kind, but I'm just beginning to grasp the enormity of what I have to learn here. I just downloaded the 156 page manual for Audacity to try to figure out how to solve some of the problems. But that's ok, I just have to keep reminding myself that this is a hobby and I don't need to take it so seriously.

[sunvalleylaw]

We may be kind, but still, you guys did a great job. And by all means, don't take it too seriously! It is about fun after all.

Very Very nicely done Shiner and CB.

A Great job for a first recording....Shiner you did A great job on the 12 string and CB you did a wonderful job on the singing...you do have beautiful voice.

You two keep it up,you are doing great!!

[duhvoodooman***]

Why sure........ that's whay they call it "playing".........as opposed to working.
"I have to learn how to work this......" as opposed to........


"I'll play with this later and let you know how it feels......"
"MMmmm.....it feels good......"..........

[Childbride]

we are already working on another offering.

this inspires me to work harder.

thank you again.

Yeah, you'll have to crank it up Warren. From what I've been able to tell there is a problem with the Tascam when you mic into it directly. Some of the guys on the Tascam forum use mic pre-amps to solve the problem, but for now that's the best I can do.

Sorry for taking a while...I listened to you guys's tune, and sent e-mails and pms...meanwhile, here's the answer to your low-volume/level problem with the mic and the Tascam...

There's nothing wrong with the machine...it's just a typically poorly written (for hobbyists) manual (I downloaded it and checked things out) that assumes hobbyists would know about things like impedance-matching of line-level signals to get strong enough gain....

EDIT: The XLR inputs of the Tascam should work fine for condenser mics, using the onboard 48V phantom power. But for low impedance (Lo-z) Dynamic mics like an SM58 or 57, they just won't cut the mustard. That's not what they're intended for. The 1/4" input jacks, on the other hand, are for guitars and hi-impedance line level signals...like a hi-impedance dynamic mic. So you have to 'convert' the SM58 to work with the 1/4" inputs.
I just copied this from a pm I just sent ya...

OK, now my feeble ol' head 'members....using my SM-58 with a Teac/Tascam cassette machine, and my old Yamaha Cassette 4-track, that only has 1/4" inputs, you NEED one of these to convert the Low Impedance ('Lo-Z') balanced signal of the SM58 (with it's XLR cable to a High Impedance (Hi-Z) unbalanced signal with a 1/4" plug.

They're $20 but you need one for each Lo-Z mic you'd use at once. You don't need any mixers or preamps if you get one (or 2) of these.

Line-Matching Transformer

I got mine 25 years ago at Radio Shack(Archer Part #274-016) and it was still almost 20 bucks then...If you're in a hurry and have a Shack in Waco, check it out. otherwise, order it from Sweetwater (no tax, no shipping, but it will take 4 days.)

This way, you'll plug the SM58 directly into the 1/4" input in the front of your DP01, and then turn up the Input Trim knob to get a good strong gain....with the machine in Record/Pause mode to set levels, your Input/track fader first set at the 'unity gain' mark (do you know what I mean there....heavy white lines about 75-80%% of the way to the top?)

[pes_laul]

wow sorry I came so late (no high speed at my moms houses)

but I got to say really good job CB you have a really nice voice.

and good job with the 12-string shiner :

[player***]

Excellent Shiners.nice guitar work and as Warren said K /CB has a beautiful voice and it does sound sexy.love to have her sing to or at me anytime or any day.no wonder he wants to get her a contract..I would too if I still had studio access.keep it coming you two
