  Da Vinci,
  
  Get the sound thru line-in and not mic socket. YOu would need a different software like Sound Forge, Cool Edit, etc to captire time for a longer duration.

  Hi all,
  Happy Deepwali everyone!,

  Until now, you were required only to purchase albums if you have to listen to the songs we produced. Of course, we also offer singles for free whenever possible. We realized that people like certain songs and don't mind paying for them separately if possible. Here it is. Now we support singles to be ordered. We are releasing brand new singles for this occasion. Very soon, we will make the other songs available as singles
  We have set the charges to be very low; it is very low that it would not be a burden to you. Like before, we would still continue to offer free downloads. However from time to time, we like to offer songs for a nominal fee based on our production effort, cost and time.
  
  In the past you have been encouraging our production. Please continue to encourage smaller productions units like us. Your money and support will help us bring in more artists in this country who may not have the infrastructure to produce quality work.

  Single Review: Gam Ganapathy
  
  New kind of devotional song to Ganapathy - more specifically New York Ganapathy. The chant "Gam Ganapathy Gam Ganapathy Eka Dhantaya Om" is very catchy and powerful emotionally. Sridhar's tune is very emotionally expressive and Sundar's rich voice shows no sign of stress with this challenging melody line. Innovative harmonies by Srikanth, lively mridangam by Balaji provide new unique touch to this song. Priya's lyrics are high class.
  
  Srikanth has seamless mixed Mridangam with Synth Pads. Sundar's hindustani style flourishes in the second interlude and ending are awesome. Harmonies are innovative - especially the ending of the second interlude and 'ennalum sindai vandamarndhu' feaures weaving vocals. I was surprised to hear ever popular 'Gajananam' in a new techno setting during second interlude.
  
  This song marks Sridhar's graduation into creating very unified, emotive melodies and showcases Sundar and Srikanth very well. Good job, guys!

  Single Review: 80s in Chennai
  
  While Gam Ganapathy is a devotional serious number, 80s in chennai is a jolly recollection of details that made up the 80s Chennai/Tamil Nadu slice of life.
  
  A unique-concept and theme of nostalgia, this song is a sure hit. Comical situations of adolescent 80s are reminded using words and imagery never heard in a tamil lyric before: footboard, PTC, allroute pass, malayalam films, princy, video deck..
  
  Gentle reggae rhythm and acoustic guitar whamping provides a lovely musical backdrop for very sweet singing by Sundar. His talents show highest in the charanams. 'Ninaivu marakkuma' gave me goosebumps! Srikanth's arrangement shows new sophistication is acheived by minimalism, as if he has discovered the power of understatement and the art of leaving out! The melodical use of overdriven guitar, ability to weave in few notes from a Raja classic, using tambourine as a counterpoint showcase his new confidence.
  
  I guarantee you to remember it on one hearing.
  A lesson in the art of songmaking for us amateur composers.
  
  Srikanth, you should publish the lyrics on your site.

  RJAY,
  
  Thanks for your kind words and also considering to buy the songs.

  RJAY,
  Thanks for buying it , and reviewing it,
  That is really encouraging. I have about 5 versions of gamganapaty and 5 versions of 80's in chennai. What was offered as final is our 6th Revision. on the lyrics part, I wrote my personal experience in my collage days, thats all about it.
  
  
  Few have emailed me about the cost,
  
  1. The reason we added a small token amount is to ensure quality, now we are answerable to someone We will be more serious with our final product.
  
  2. We could have priced it at 99cents per download, however the Credit Card processing fees is too high per transaction. There are some minimum anmount to be fixed. (the reason why many desi stores set a limit of minimum $20 per transaction)
  
  3. Our cost per track is going to come down when we offer more in future. The flat transaction fees for 10 downloads is same as 1.
  
  I request everyone to encourage this model, a facility, a low cost method to choose the song you like, to be dowloaded right at your desktop.
  
  we are also planning to bring in other musicians who dont have website facilities but have real quality musical work. We will be provding a platform to launch their tracks.
  
  Thanks for your support.
  Srikanth

  Sam,
  
  Use line-in input and not mic input.
