In audacity I did around 8 or 9 songs.

At first they sounded great but I wasn't finished editing them when I noticed gaps in the track music.

It would simply stop a track, then restart up later on.

It was totally annoying. At first I thought it was RAM.

So I went out and bought 16 gigs of ram.

Didn't work

Then I upgraded to windows 10 (maybe 11 sooner.

The upgrade didn't work. still missing track data when song is played.

Then I figured it was the harddrive (access times)

So I wronte down get new SATA 3 highspeed music recording harddrive

a 12" sata3 cable, and a sata power splitter

So I could upgrade my computer and I would no longer have spaces in my music. It would play as recorded.

Luckily though. I was playing around with audacity effects.

Some you have to pay for

Chorus $79

Distortion $64

Drum Enhancer $240

It even states right on the effect modules that after trail is over it would make noises.

So when I get paid. I am only going to buy the modules I need to get all the songs I recorded mastered metered and ready for play.

After I do this and am satisfied with the 8 or 9 songs. I will begin to upload them to roaring.biz

The old songs currently on there will just be taken off the website as uploads occur.

Earliest I get money is the 21st. So maybe after that is done I can buy modules and a 16gig USB to install windows 11.

Wish me luck on mastering this mini studio, I want the songs all done.

The last 7 songs on RoaRinG.BiZ are not complete. I am running a slow DELL and it only has 6 gigs of ram. The music doesn't even play right with the recording software. And the recording software effects crap out as well. I have recently bought 16 gigs of ram and Will have to install it when it gets here. Hopefully that solves the problem of missing song parts and malfunctioning effects that the recording software has given me with 6gigs ram. When it gets here and I install them. I am going to dump all 7 songs back to mp3s with it. Hopefully that solves the missing song parts. I am hoping so anyways. If not it's time to cluster a few computers over here to get the processor speed up and running. I really want to record music. It's fun. So far all I have is bed tracks. But they are listenable to. minus the missing parts. So the following are scheduled to be redone

0:I really like your smile

1:Do you dance

2:Everything

3:I Don't bite

4:Let's Party

5:Avenue

6:Time Let Me Be

7:Anywhere

Now I am hoping its just the ram. I will dump them and test them. If it's still going wrong. It's going to take a bit of money to get a tech in here that can cluster all my computers. But It will be done. And if it still doesn't work then its the recording software. If that's the case I will have to find recording software that actually works.

Once they are mp3'd and tested I will reupload them to the website. And take the old clunky versions off the site. Into backup. Offline. The ram should get here in a week or so. Wish me luck!!!!!! I really want these songs done.

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.

For all of you that have been playing one song at a time here. RoaRinG.BiZ now has playlists for music. Just go to any song and add it to your Playlist. It's much easier when you have an entire set of uninterrupted music playing. Rather then listening to them one at a time. Members only. Couldn't implement the Playlists into the public section of the website as it requires a user name to save the playlists to. Good to fall asleep to.

Well after being asked so many times to do so. My selected music is now on Spotify and other music venues such as YouTube music, deezer, Pandora etc. HERE IS THE LINK TO __JATZEK on Spotify

 https://artists.landr.com/057829594555

Yes that's right. The blog post with the ondrive link to download the cds was blocked by onedrive. So to fix the situation I added files to the top of the roaring.biz page where no one can miss it. Right now there are four __JATZEK files available for download. Feel free to download them for free

Google analytics says i was the only one on my website today. But the websites apache logs and awstats that work on those logs say otherwise. Do I go by Google analytics? Or my website logs?

Here are my website apache log stats. You will see there is much more then one user today

That's the RoaRinG.BiZ statistics page

Spent AUGUST 28 2025 REMIXIN SONGS. A LOT OF THEM.

I started With JATZEK - The X Albums DEMO - NEW Side 1 and finished 5 songs in it. REMIXED and sounding good. Uoladed them to the website.

You should hear the .wav files of the songs, talk about sounding really really good, problem is they are over 100-200 meg each in size so no way I can put them on the CD.

I did however upload the big .WAVs to the website for uploads of songs. The website processed the huge file and made whateer it made from them for you to listen to or download.

Then I went and REMIXED/REMASTERED JATZEK - The X Albums DEMO - Side 1 & Side 2. A total of 12 songs. Don't know if they are completely done yet. But tried to keep the sound and the volumes the same througout the 12 songs. I also uploaded these. So The 28th and part of the 29th (late night) Has been nothing but REMIXING and MASTERING all the songs I have except for a small few that go onto the JATZEK - The X Albums DEMO - NEW Side 1 and possibly start the Side 2. It has been a hectic day. Doing all that work, writing note. Testing.

I even tested the NEW stuff on my AVR at volume 69.0. It was loud. These NEW Songs can definately be played in a nightclub. There all there for you to listen to. I will upload the rest as soon as I finish them. Maybe even start on writing some new ones. I use the playlist on my website (member only) to arrange them into two complete albums in order of play THE OLD and THE NEW. Then i just let it play. So far I haven't seen much of a problem with it. But it's late night on the 29h morning. I will test them again later. As for the NEW it sounds awesome with a 250 watt subwoofer and 100 wat 5.2.4 sound. I play it with DTS Neural-X to play all the speakers in my set up.. Well I better go to bed. it's 2:45am. I'm done.

Oh One More NOTE: On Payday I spent $142 for a chorus and a distortion effect plugin for audacity. I redid all my songs that were cut up with sound of not having the paid version of the effect plugins. They are all fixed now. And all the NEW Stuff is sounding good. EnJoY!

AREA RECORDING / INSERT Audio clip into track. in audacity.

Find a track that you want to test this one. make sure it has a lot of noise in the sample display.

 ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

HIGHLIGHT a small area in the recorded track. This is where you will do your overdub

on the transport toolbar (where play and stop is) press the LOOP BUTTON (with two arrows going around) to LOOP the highlighted sample.

This is not for looping. it's for manually MARKING the section you are about to punch and roll record with. JUST MARKERS FOR REMEMBERING POSITION.

Now go to menu transport->recording->PUNCH AND ROLL RECORD.

It will giVe you five second of play. then start recording. It doesn't matter how big sample track you make. it all get's truncated off.

RECORD   -> Done RECORDING Press STOP.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

NOW MAKING NOTE OF THE LOOP MARKERS!:

move the mouse and drag the track bar around the track till you hit the far LEFT LOOP MARKER. the line should turn yellow AS THE TRACK LINE snaps into place.

Now HIGHLIGHT and move the mouse to the far RIGHT LOOP MARKER. it too will also turn yellow when it's on the loop marker..

Later you will have to restore the original punch and roll record HIGHLIGHT of data.

IMPORTANT: make sure you have both LEFT and RIGHT sides of the loop marker with your cut and paste HIGHLIGHT. It only works if you do.

This is so you have your punch and record data the exact same side of the AREA RECORD YOU WANT OVERDUBBED into the track.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

now CUT the highlighted data out of the track. This saves a copy of it.

EDIT MENU -> 1:UNDO cut then 2:UNDO record

This will bring you all the way back to the original track data with the punch and record AREA highlighted.

Simply PASTE overtop of the highlight and you are all overdub done. remember the loop markers have to be extact when you highlight the second time.

you can zoom the track up a lot. but makr sure if the markers are there and they are both yellow lines from them you hae a good chance of success.

You have now recorded and inserted into track sound data..

1: Highlight an area to punch and roll record into

 =======V=========V==========

original track data

2:Set loop markers as manual data markers for punch and roll record 

               <                      > Mark it with loop markers

=======V=========V==================

3:punch and roll record. notice the loop markers. I went past it 

                <                     > loop marker defines record 

=======V|-------------------------------   bounds. Past it.

 old original track data gone from punch and roll record function

4:highlight the area insert. use markers. They will yellow when your copy and paste line are on the loop markers. Make sure you get left and right guide lines on the markers. Zoom in. Make the track sample data larger with track sample view to get a better loop markers guiide lines yellow. Locked on loop markers

              <|   highlight  | > yellow lines on loop markers

=======|------------------ |------------------------

               |       here       |

5:CUTt the loop marked highlighted data from track.

               <|   cut here   | > yellow lines on loop markers

=======|------------------ |------------------------

               |                      |

6:UNDO cut UNDO record puts you back to the original track with loop markers

7::after the undos you will be back at when you first highlighted punch and roll. 

                    <|                    |> use loop markers to

=========V-========-V=====   highlight

                     |                      |

8: Simply paste the copy and paste buffer overtop of the highlight. PASTE new punch and roll data within the full track.

                   <|   INSERT   |> loop markers did there job

=========V-----DATA----V===============

                     | insert data  |  remaining original track

It's that easy. No more punch and record to the end of the track. wiping out all the data from a record and play.
