I've been recording original instrumentals for several years now. I work with Garageband now and have enjoyed it thoroughly... but would like to up to Logic Studio eventually.

If anyone would like, please visit my band site name on my myspace page listed below... there you can hear some of the music I have created.

Enjoy!

I think we all do on occasion. I have just completed one and have had it copyrighted. I bought a portable 4 track micro studio to record on. It is a Boss Micro BR and it is an amazing device. It is barely bigger than an iPod Touch but contains an incredible amount of drum tracks (about 300) and guitar effects. The finished song can be exported as an MP3 and this is what I uploaded to the Library of Congress for my copyright. The cost, about $230.00 at GC. It has a high learning curve, but the power of the thing is amazing. I keep it in my gig bag just in case I want to record our gigs and practice sessions via the external mike the unit has on it. As a comparison, back in 1985 I bought a 4 track cassette recorder made by Yamaha that was about twice as big as a laptop and that thing cost me around 1500 bucks. It only had echo and reverb effects built in. You had to put a special metallic tape on the back of each cassette to allow recording of all 4 tracks simultaneously. Kludgy, but effective. The Boss Micro BR blows that thing completely to hell. I was able to record my song on the Micro BR in a couple of hours, all by my lonesome!!!


Hey, I'm working on my first album (acoustic original stuff), and need to get copyrights for the songs. I'm the only author of the songs. Can you tell me what forms I need? And some one told me that I can get like 10 songs copyrighted for one price?? Is that true? Thanks!

Welcome to the Fender Forums!

Here are a couple of links. First, the official govt one.
http://www.copyright.gov/

This one is a copyright service, but once you learn the ropes I think you can do it yourself cheaper. NOTE: I have never used this service, I just read the site to see what I could learn from it.
http://www.clickandcopyright.com/Copyright_Your_Music.asp

Finally, another site with info about copyrights and the music biz in general. See the items along the left side of the page.
http://musicbootcamp.com/howdy/

You can never learn too much about this stuff because the more you know, the lower your chances are of being ripped off.

Good luck!!

I've got a few notebooks full of lyrics, one or two of the songs are pretty much finished. I'm now putting them to music, and I hope to record them here at some time in the near future.

I actually do compose a lot of music, now that I think about it. Fortunately, I also am an avid fan and student of poetry, and enjoy crafting lyrics for songs. One problem I seem to run into quite often is that much of my material sounds a bit too much like what I'm listening to at the moment! Other times, I'll come up with something, yet when I play it back or go to add another piece to the puzzle of song, I'll doubt its potential and throw it away. For me, songwriting is my expression, and the guitar is my voice (I sing to. I actually pride myself on it, and work very hard at it. I'm a bit of a perfectionist... but I'm definitely a guitarist, first and foremost, and it vocalizes my feelings more than my actual voice ever will). I have many songwriting "heroes," persay, but my biggest influences on this topic are Kurt Cobain, because of his complete creativity and constant use of symbolism, Tom Waits, for the fact that he is an incredible storyteller, a rhapsode if you will, and deals with some very touchy subjects, and Bob Dylan, I mean, the man is a poet set to music.
I've also been studying the art of the "concept album," like the Who's Tommy, as well as a more modern artist, Claudio Sanchez of Coheed and Cambria, and the story of the characters that are the basis for the band's name.

I find that most of the lyrics I write tend to be about unfaithful women. It's kind of been a theme in my life. Oh, and late nights at old, smokey bars.
