I'm won't be singing for the most part. i wish i could, but i have a lot of things weighing on me right now, and personal time constraints and commitments have left me with almost no personal time at all.

it's been frustrating for me getting acclamated with the new stereo control. i don't understand how a track can be out of synch from left to right chanel even before adding my voice. i've tried the time adjustment, but in some cases this hasn't worked for certain songs. after spending a few hours on a single recording it's frustrating not to be able to post it. everyone else seems to have made the transition. so, i'm sorry for venting a bit. it's a great site for those of us that love music and voice. i've made so many incredible friends. you know who you are, and i love you all very much. i'll try and use the widgets from time to time when i do have time to sing.

Alex, Dad and Aaron. ya think they make me happy?

in the mean time, i hope you all won't mind if i come listen, even though i'm not putting music out. i would miss you all to much to ever think i shouldn't listen unless i'm sharing. i do want to be able to stop by when i can to hear you and say hi.

thank you for coming by. all the love in heaven to you.

your music friend,

phil


original info...

a friend of mine told me about SS. i listened to a few of his recordings and though "WOW"... couldn't even believe this was my Bud! he sounded so incredible. i would never have thought he could sing so good.

i love to sing, but very few people would know that except for those of you here on SS. my family, my kids. a few friends. i picked up a cheap microphone, and tried a song. i was so disappointed and though to my self, you suck!!! only love could explain why i had always been told i could sing.

a few weeks passed, and my friend asked, "when you going to sing?". he's an awesome friend, and gave me some tips, and direction on improving my audio sound. it did help, but listening to myself was like watching an animal being tortured. painful. how could i be this bad? hard to be objective when you look at yourself.

i made another recording, but still i found it totally not what i thought i sounded like. told my daughter "i'm not going to sing here anymore." she said, "lets go to the music store where you bought the boy's guitar". so for my birthday, my kids bought me a new microphone and a mixer. (which i wanted for a duet i wanted so much to sing)

i enjoy singing so much. actually, i think i need to sing. i'm not sure i understand that, but i'm trying. it's unnatural for me not to sing. i'm a total closet singer and i'm happy that way. it's so fun having all this great music to pick from. all of this, and the best part is actually all of you! listening to you all. so many talented people here, and i'm so luckey to be a part of this. thank you for sharing your voices with me, and thank you for the kind comments.


for anyone who may feel some of my audio pain... i use an Alesis MultiMix8USB with an MXL V69 Mogami Edition microphone. this is not a recommendation. it's at least a starting point for those of you who may just need to know what others here on SS might be using.
