I describe my ongoing lyrics writing projects. Where I get my ideas, how I match my words with other people's music, which little helpers I use...
it's on SoundClick Only the solo guitar was recorded after replacing the ASIO driver, thus reducing the soundcard's latency. At least when playing very simple stuff I seem to be in time now - I didn't have to edit these parts at all this time.
Post lesenThanks to a hint from Alex I could reduce the latency of my soundcard from more than 300 milliseconds to just 14. The ASIO driver he recommended is free: ASIO4ALL driver. Maybe I'm not as inapt as I thought after all? The next recording sessions will...

Maybe it's a compensation for reading a rather stupid romance, maybe it's because it's so long since I've last heard from the hard rockers from MotorPlanet... Anyway, I felt like writing something agressive. RhymeZone helped me rhyming burst mode strolling...

Post lesenVerse one begins with "when the work is done, or when school is out " (note the correction!), so the missing four lines should have something to do with having got rid of disagreeable duties: when the work is done or when school is out it's time for some...
Post lesenFortunately, the meter for the verses is quite simple, it's eight times the same pattern: - - X - X The first lines I've come up with are: when the work is done when the school is out it's time for some fun and we sing and shout There I've got stuck and...
