I had grown tired of watching my pitiful guitar collect dust. Knew it was missing some strings, but I found that I had a pack so I restrung it. I haven’t tuned a guitar in years. Found low E, but it got worse from there. Found a cable to plug into my sound card and downloaded the Free Music Instrument Tuner from the Ubuntu repositories (apt-get install fmit).
After learning a couple easy songs, I looked around for some recording software. I basically just wanted to end up with a decent quality MP3. As much hype as it was getting in the beginning, Jokosher just didn’t work for me. Tried everything and it just couldn’t pick up a source. I found that Audacity worked well, even if working with the program can be a pain. Crashed on me a couple times and I have to have no playback going when it’s started, otherwise the program doesn’t recognize any output.
I made a couple recordings, but they are quite noisy as it’s a sloppy setup. There’s no stereo. I know I can play these songs smoother, but I got nervous during the recording and would just be happy I got the notes right. Timing is way off and made worse by the sloppy editing. Just a test.
