I have a song, that was produced, written and recorded by me. I am really happy with this one, and i guess this would be my best mix. Everytime that I hear it played back I kind of get this urge to do something with it cuase it sounds so good.

I would like to know, or actually I'd like to just hear others' "take" on the issue.. of recording other peoples tunes, or copyrighted material like Wold Horses or BrownSugar but any, not just stones. and what it'd be involving at the lower or home studio-level..produced mp3's or whatever to offer from a website dedicated to self promotion.

I'm a songwriter and musician looking to simplify my current setup--I need to make radio/demo-quality recordings: vocal, guitar certainly; but it would be nice to have the room to add more. Want it portable. Really I want the ease and simplicity of pushing the rec/play buttons on a handheld cassette recorder at my kitchen table.

Would luv feedback of any kind.

Hey,

I'm making the transition from the old-skool analog realm of mixers and outboard gear into the DAW world. I won't go into the numerous headaches and frustrations (in general, I'm enjoying it), but rather just ask a somewhat philosophical question:

How do you approach the management of songs?

Specifically:

Please help me grasp the concept of who a 'songwriter' is.

allright i kinda posted this in my other post.
but I'm chris, 16, and if you could listen to my song and give me some crtisism or tell me its ok, or tell me i have no hope of a serious future thatd be great!

I've completed 11 songs and planning to record a demo. I'm not the best guitar player so I called a person to play for me by the hour. I told him we need to get together and go over before going to the studio. He mentioned co-writing and wanted to record at a friends studio. I explained I only needed a player for some rhythm. He mentioned being the producer of my songs.
