I woke up on may 23 2025 thinking it was going to be a boring day. I walked to 711 got food . Saw an old friend on the way home. And went home.
I Decided it was time to learn the mixing board and recording software. Mostly from scratch experience. It took me over 4 hours just to get the mixing board to record into computer recording studio software. Well I did that. Then started recording and rerwiting 3 of my old songs. They have drums and bass in them now.
For three days I did this. With very little sleep. I think I got about an hour at a time of restless sleep. Mind racing.
So here's when the songs were played recorded and mastered then put into Mp3 Files.
MAY 23 2025 - JATZEK - I Really Like Your Smile
MAY 24 2025 - JATZEK - Do You Dance
MAY 25 2025 - JATZEK - Everything. (on hold due to copyright issues with the original author)
MAY 26 2025 - JATZEK - I Don't Bite.
in that order. it's now 6:08am on the 25th. I am done for a while. I might tweek those songs later on when I get around to it. But for now. I think they all soud ok for music. I need to get at least 4 hours constant sleep. Probably try around 8am. Go have a listen to the songs. You might just like them. And remember to vote for the songs honestly and truely. 1 star means is crap 3 star means its average and 5 star means its great. it only goes 5 stars out of 5 stars.
Well when I finally get around to it. GOODNIGHT PEOPLE!
*JATZEK*
"JATZEK - EVERYTHING" Not Still waiting for a valid copyright order from the original author of "Shooting Stars" Have left messages with him but He or She has not gotten back to me yet for copyright. I was amazed at his/her demo. Tried to write a song using it as reference. Being a copyright nut. I changed the samples with a ramp editor in kool edit. Changed the patterns around and wrote more music to it. Then when i was done I recorded my voice over it. The whole songs including backup vocal is a full run. From start to end. Doubled up the vocals and got what i sounds like today. I play it for when friends come over But am Leary to do anything write it even though it has been changed over 96%. So until the author of that demo acknowledges me and says what he/she needs on the copyright notice I will just keep it on my computer as work experience and leave it at that. If he/she does was co-authorship he/she will have to tell me what to put on it.
Then I will post it and put it on demo cds in an attempt to get recording studio time from professionals.. I'm even allowing %50 of the songs profits if it was ever to make any. %50 of the songs royalties, NOT for other songs on the album if i make one. I think its a good song now and says a lot about people scamming people for money by relationships even marriages. It was one of my first tracker songs I have written on top of since 1988 when I had an Amiga 500 and protracker.
I miss those days. But they can't be relived. Have to continue onward from here.
Just to let you know I try to keep everything legal with my new version of writing songs.
All my samples are from public domain sources and I give credit where credit is due.

Are an example. There are a lot more resources for royalty free samples. Use as you see necessary and good luck writing your music!
I stumbled for four hours today figuring this out from drivers to help files then finally got it working. Here's how
problem: behringer xenyx x1832usb does not record into any sound recording program.
First: install the correct drivers.
[1]:REMOVE ALL MIXER DRIVERS
meaning get rid of all old drivers with [DEVICE MANAGER] from control panel run in ADMINISTRATOR MODE] to remove them.
They will be in [sound input output] driver title in device manager and in sound card
go to widows page. press the down icon to have it go to programs. now scroll all the way to the right.
Look for [CONTROL-PANEL] in the last set of programs listed. RUN IT.
Now go to DEVICE MANAGER. right click and run in ADMINISTRATOR MODE.
from the DEVICE MANAGER LIST look for [AUDIO INPUTS AND OUTPUTS] uninstall all for [USB Audio CODEC] by right clicking on the name
then pressing UNINSTALL from the item menu. Do it for all of them.
Now in the DEVICE MANAGER LIST find [sound, video and game controllers]. click on it to expand window
same thing find all occurrences of USB Audio CODEC. Right click them and uninstall them.
turn off machine. unplug the MIXER USB Cable. Start up machine in administrator mode.
[INSTALL CORRECT DRIVER FOR YOUR BEHRINGER]
Go to the behringer.com website. do a search for your model of behringer mixer. mine was x1832usb. Search "X1832USB Driver"
Find the latest usb driver from the results list in searching for it.
mine also cam up with a [ASIO4ALL_2_15_English] driver file. downloaded it then installed it while in administrator mode and the mixer usb unplugged.
It installed. Turn off computer with windows turn off selection
(it may save setup files always do this) do not plug in mixer usb yet. . Turn on computer and boot in administrator mode.
once everything is loaded up. windows in initial booting time. plug in the [MIXER USB CABLE]
If done right. you should hear an audible tone that should windows is connecting new hardware. and it will be installed.
you need to install a fresh copy of the driver and the above is how i did it. NEXT:
[CONTROL PANEL]-[SOUND] SET UP YOUR MICROPHONE
LOOK FOR SPEAKERS [USB Audio CODEC]. IF ITS CHECKMARKED FOR DEFAULT DEVICE IT SHOULD RUN ALL COMPUTER AUDIBLE RECORDING TRACKS THROUGH THE MIXER TO THE MIXERS OUTPUT SOUND DEVICES.. YOU WANT THE MICROPHONE SO YOU CAN RECORD.
HIT THE TAB [RECORDING] look to see if [microphone #-USB Audio CODEC] is check marked as the default device. you are almost there. set it up
click on that microphone. then the [PROPERTIES] button do the following for the following tabs
[LISTEN]
[unchecked] listen to this device (the mixing board will allow you to listen to microphone
[checked] continue running when on battery power (to save any bad recording session due to the machine stopping recording
[LEVELS]
Set to at least 80% do not turn off the recording microphone with the speaker icon next to the volume bar
[ADVANCED]
[Default format] set it to the highest bit rate (mine was 16 bit) and the hz quality (mine was 44100 Hz (CD Quality)
[EXCLUSIVE MODE] So programs can change these settings
[checkmark] allow applications to take exclusive control of this device
[checkmark] give exclusive mode applications priority
NOW HIT THE [APPLY] Button on the button of the dialog window.
then press [OK] to save the sound settings.
I do this as to not add confusion between software and mixing board at later stages. the audacity or cooledit i use can override settings.
Sometimes for higher bit and hz settings then sound has. like 32 bit recording 96000 hz.
Ok now that you have installed the driver. and set up basic sound properties its time to test it.
[BUTTONS on X1832USB MIXER] Should be similar with other mixing boards
[CHANNEL 1 & 2] to the very far lower left of the mixing board
SOLO [OFF]
SUB [ON] i want it to remember channel 1 and 2 default sound setting and adjust them with the sub sliders for recording
MAIN [OFF]
[SUB 1 & 2] Right next to the main volume
[Sub volume sliders] adjustable. i also use the microphone volume dial to fine set it. always use the microphone volume knob till it feedback. then lower it with the microphone volume knob. fine turn volume with the SUB volume sliders.
for channel 1 &2 all four buttons for LEFT and RIGHT are = ON
[main solo mode switch] = OFF
top of the sub buttons
[2Tr/USB] = ON (red button)
[SUB] = ON
[MAIN MIX] = OFF
[USE MAIN VOLUME SLIDERS FOR RECORDING VOLUME]
to the right of that is another RED button labelled [2TR/USB to MAIN] this is the most important button you can have for recording and live performances.
I take the time to rename that button from [2TR/USB to MAIN] to simply [RECORD/LIVE]
when you have the button =OFF it is in record mode. and you can only use the headphones to listen to and record into a recording program.
You can mess around with some of the levels and effects just remember when depressed its in [RECORD MODE]
When you press it ON it goes into LIVE MODE. The mixer speakers all go back on and you can sing through the microphone in track 1 &2 but it will simply NOT RECORD. That's because it is in LIVE MODE.
important for recording microphone levels on track 1 & 2
[USE MAIN VOLUME, SUB VOLUME, TRACK 1&2 VOLUME SLIDERS FOR RECORDING VOLUME]
[OVERALL RECORDING VOLUME DONE WITH MAIN MIX VOLUME SLIDERS]
t
if you follow the steps right. you should be able to record with headphones into audacity or cooledit or any other computer recording software. just remember\
[UNINSTALL ALL OLD DRIVERS] [ UNPLUG MIXER USB]
[REBOOT] TO CLEAN THE DRIVERS OUT
[INSTALL NEW DRIVERS] [REBOOT]
[PLUG IN MIXER USB] THIS INSTALLS THE NEW DRIVERS FOR THE MIXING BOARD.
------------------------------
ADJUST SOUND QUALITIES.
[CONTROL PANEL][SOUND] MAKE IT SO YOU HAVE THE BEST RANGE FOR YOUR MICROPHONE
------------------------------
[IMAGE BACKUP YOUR COMPUTER] SO ALL YOUR WORK IS SAVED!
-------------------------------
PRESS OR DEPRESS ALL THE CORRECT BUTTONS ON YOUR MIXER PAYING SPECIAL ATTENTION TO THE
[TR2/USB TO MAIN] WHICH I RENAMED [RECORD/LIVE] TO GET RID OF CONFUSION.
-------------------------------
[RECORD/????] SHUTS OFF THE MONITOR SPEAKERS AND STARTS UP THE HEADPHONES. YOU RECORD WITH HEADPHONES.
[?????/LIVE] TURNS ON YOUR SPEAKER SYSTEM AND HAS A PASS THROUGH FROM CHANNEL 1 &2 FOR LIVE PERFORMANCES.
ITS PRETTY EASY. IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS OR NEED FURTHER HELP JUST EMAIL ME AT ADMIN@ROARING.BIZ
Due to crappy weather. I have not been busking. There fore not been making daily income and I am getting so sick of being without daily money to survive.
I might have even screwed up the video shoot for Manfreds Guitar Show as I can not busk in 4C weather and it has been around that to 7C all week.
I usually only go out around 10C weather as to not wreck my only guitar. I need it for spring and summer busking. and it looks like this week is full of low temperatures as well. Not climbing in temperature till next Saturday (the 22nd of march). This is really taking it's toll on me. I have been so broke that I had to go to the food bank. They have been really good to me and gave me enough groceries to make it till payday. Then it's back to paying bills and loans and getting groceries. At least this payday is only a 4 week period till the next payday. And not 5 weeks, which I dread as I always run out of food around week 3. Low income. Will try to get out there as soon as possible. It use to warm up around 1pm in the after noon. but since daylight savings time its usually 3 to 4pm when it warms up enough to play. I will be out there as soon as it reaches 10C. Will be checking weather reports.
Ok so you are new to RoaRinG.BiZ
I post music on here in the form of mp3s and Videos
They are my own stuff in the band JATZEK

There are 5 stars under the video or mp3 on the left hand side.
Move your mouse (r finger) over them and they can range from 1 to 5
1 for being totally bad.
And 5 for being awesome.
Remember to vote honestly as I am trying to see what to put on my music USB based on all votes
Thanks in advance
JATZEK - SongWriting - $200 a song and up. Leave me email at admin@roaring.biz payment through paypal. Willing to spend a day and write a song for you!
Put it on usb stick and have it ready for you. All you need to do is give me a topic and a brief song lyrics idea and I will go from there.
Basic songwriting with guitar and lyrics recorded to usb $200.
I have started busking at shoppers drug mart Downtown Vernon, BC, Canada.
I usually eat at CMHA during the week at noon. Eat. Then leave for shoppers drug mart to busk.
Around 12:30 - 1pm I will be down there busking. Will slowly be building up my playing time.
Right now It's about an hour a day. And usually only when its 10C or above.
Come down and watch if you like. Be doing new songs, old songs and making stuff up. It's practice for me.
Tip if you can afford it! It all goes into living expenses. Costs so much due to these tarriffs by USA.
I smoke, Smokes are $23 a pack. If I get tipped a lot of money I will stay there longer and play.
See you there!
MAX
