Worked up a new song idea that came out really well. Let me know what you think.

As excellent as usual, Axe :)

Might be a good idea to pull some of those into loose collections of about twelve tracks or so each :P

Great performance as always.

However, I would recomend in the future maybe some new recording equipment, as you just sound a little too fuzzy, but nonetheless excellent playing as always.

Yea I notice that too. I'm not very good at mixing stuff and tend to hit the gain on Audacity a little too much. I need to figure out how to record it at normal volume for Audacity, which is somewhat low by default, then ramp it up without hitting on the gain. Thanks for the input.
I really wish I could go to the studio. I think first I'm going to need money, lol.

You could get some new, regular software. I hear that cakewalk is pretty good.

Most good audio recording software have a feature called normalize volume. Unlike tape recording that allows you to record at +3db digital recordings should be done at - 3db max then normalize to 0db. Also when you burn the cd be sure to select the normalize volume feature. I use Steinberg software Cubase VST32 and Wave Lab 4.0 and Sound Forge 6.0. High end Sound blaster sound cards come with a program called Wave Studio and the platinum and pro versions came with Cubase 4.0se , also if you use Nero software it comes with good audio recording and editing software

Yea, sorry to see Moore go. I loved the 'Still Got the Blues' album.

I see he had really piled on the lbs. in the last few years.
