Why the emphasis that you don't want to know about it? I ask only because; being a writer/composer I am interested in copyright legislation.
As for recording; I began the studio work last evening. So far, I am really pleased with the quality I am getting with a (relatively) new Rhode NT3 studio condenser, transducer. I also have on loan at present a drum kit so I can add in the real thing instead of drum machine.
Does anyone have the info as to how music files are uploaded; where they go to and how do you access(listen to ) them?
Cheers, Witty.
I am a little puzzled.Hopefully, there have been some big changes in that intiquated Copyright Act. I'd like to add that if there indeed have been changes in the Copyright Act, I don't want to know about it!.

Hello Witty Owl,
I put emphasis on the I don't want to know about it because I worked for a Performing Rights Organization for some years. I can't remember the name of the one in Australia but it's BMI/ASCAP in the U.S., SOCAN in Canada, PRS in Britain, etc.
During my time in that field, I worked with songwriters and music publishers who had endless questions concerning copyright. As the Writer/Publisher Relations person, I spent many, many, many hours discussing copyright. Frankly, it was one of the reasons I decided to leave. Now, I like to help people with copyright issues (esp. Performing Rights) when I have the opportunity. However, I just didn't want to do it 10 hours a day for the rest of my life.
It was a great job and there are times I wish I had stayed on but whenever I hear the word 'copyright' it reminds me of the reasons I left. I loved working with the writers but many simply could not grasp the concept of copyright and the rights included therein. After a time it became too tedious for me to keep explaining it. However, it was so necessary as, of course, writers/publishers couldn't get paid for their work without dealing with the red tape connected with the process. Copyright does still interest me really. I guess the emphasis was a knee-jerk reaction.
And that, as they say, is that.
Cheers,
~ Linda

witty, did they also sing " gimme a home among the gum trees with lotsa plum trees a ***** (hmm what was that?) or two and a kangaroo..."?
I don't have any idea about how to post a song on this site. I think Tom Distiller suggested it originally? I am a technophobe, but maybe Jarrko and/or Rauli would be able to help?
Looking forward to hearing it anyway!!

Insanitor, 'home among the gum trees' I think was Bullamakancka- or something like that.
Today I managed to complete a rough (and I mean rough) recording of this song and "Poet of Rock'n Roll". I started with ac. guitar and vocals and over tracked drum kit and bass. As I did not start with a click track or drum machine guide track I found it very difficult to follow the speed changes with real drumming.
I shall have to record again for the CD of songs I am working on but the rough version is okay to get the drift of the sound.
I now have the means to create WAV files from analog audio and burn them to CD. Now I have to figure out how to transform them to MP3.
The WAV files for these 2 songs just recently recorded are about 40 mgb. each.
I have just learned from Jarkko that there is no way to upload music files to this forum, the software/system does not allow it. So any one interested in a demo of these songs can receive an email when they are converted to MP3. Clearly a 40 mgb. file is too big to send by email. The same file converted to MP3 would be about 4-5 mgb.in size.
Sooner or later I shall re-record these songs at a higher standard of production and then the CD can be available to anyone via snail mail. Meanwhile, any suggestions for easier access to hear a demo?
Linda, thanks for the explanation. I sympathise your position.
Cheers, Witty.
