Oooh, and to make it even better, you can now enjoy the story, as there are English subtitles available on youtube: I don't know what it is about the song, but I have watched it last thing at night for the last three days - and usually I hate re-listening to the same song like that. Really do love it...

Hmmm, I will investigate the sampling issue forthwith! I realised the noise reduction tool could be troublesome, and played with it a bit, didn't just whack it on full and hope for the best! It does mangle the sound quite a lot if you're not careful... I am awaiting the end of this month to look at finances, and then budget for Christmas and music accordingly Of course, if I'm lucky, I can blag a semi decent mic as a present ,but that's an awful long wait... Oh, and I don;t know anyone to borrow even a rubbish mic from! lol, musicians are sadly lacking in my life in Coventry... Cheers, Rohan

I wouldn't be surprised if it is a simple case of my computer being rubbish, it's 5 years or more old now... 1.8GHz AMD Athlon 64 1GB RAM Running 32-bit XP... Not currently using my sexy soundcard (M-Audio Delta-66) as my best mic at the moment is the one on my webcam... :\ Think that's the pertinent bits. Like I say, I wouldn't be surprised if it is just my computer being rubbish, tbh... Sadly it's gonna be a year at least before I can afford an upgrade :'( Cheers, Rohan

Hmmm, I think the dummy track idea is good - a count in would definitely help! And I did 'de-noise' the two tracks I had already, so that could well be the issue... Hopefully I can make some progress soon! Thanks, Rohan

Sorry Jeanie! I forgot to refresh before posting... Knock Knock - The Hives

Curses! New problem... I am trying to record a new part by playing along with those already recorded, but the longer I record for the more out of sync it seems to be getting?! If it was all out by the same amount I could understand it - obviously there is a little software playback lag, but it gets worse through the song! I was definitely in time to the sounds I was hearing as I recorded it - I have tried a few times, and my sense of timing isn't out by 3-5 seconds! Am going to try recording to metronome only, but am not hopeful, as I use the cues from where the other tracks are to place vocals and the 2nd guitar - I ain't counting beats for an entire bloody song! *bangs head on wall* Maybe I'll give up until I'm rich and pay someone else to sort out the recording

The title means 'Heart Crusher' and is the first single from the first volume of what is apparently going to be an album trilogy, telling the story of the little girl in the video... Even if you don't understand the lyrics (they go a bit quick for me to get much of it), you should enjoy it. I've just watched it three times in a row cause it looks so gorgeous and steampunky and tells a story so well... LOVE IT!

I just love how completely shocked he is at actually meeting Ozzy! His playing isn't bad either

Oooh, what a choice to have to make. "So, shall we sound awesome, or look awesome?!"
