Actually, I just wanted to know how people do their YouTube thing. For ME, until I started computer recording, it was a simple matter of videotaping me doing the song playing guitar and singing live with a drum machine (some time ago) or with BIAB playing the backing tracks. But now that I've started with the computer recording of the songs how do I do this? Should I (1) complete the song and MIME it while videotaping? (2) Mime the guitar and sing the vocals live? (3) Add a guitar track (play the guitar and record it at the same time thu adding another track) while singing? Or (4) should I complete the song and simply (always?) do a SLIDESHOW with no videotaping the "performance" at all? I always thought I was going to be videotaping me playing and singing live just as I have always done but now, thinking about it adn getting to that point, it's a bit more involved then I thought. Yep, I'm confused. ALSO, I can do TWO different things as well. (1) I can upload a KARAOKE type thing and ALSO (2) upload the same song with the vocals. Hope this isn't TOO confusing.

The thing about the WMA file is that I screwed up, I think. I should have simply rendered to MP3 in Reaper instead of WMA. But I certainly hope that an MP3 file will sound better after Windows Movie Maker does it's thing than the WMA file did cuz it sucked. I thought it would sound as "good" as it does uploaded to SoundCloud but it doesn't. Not at all. I'm now hoping that if I render to MP3 it doesn't sound as bad as the WMA did. Will find out tomorrow.
