Many thanks to everyone who helped me in my crash course to producing
a song in Logic. It was for an online song contest. In the end I ran
out of time, before I had got to grips with everything, particularly
vocal production, but I`m pleased with the result - its probably the
best song overall that I have written (musically and lyrically) and it
sounds more or less how I wanted it to. I actually had to send an
unfinished version, that's how much I ran out of time, but in case
anyone is interested, here is a link to the song.

It sounds great on my ipod and mac, with decent headphones, less great
in other situations, but I guess that I still have a lot to learn
about mastering, along wiith many, more basic skills. Still, with more
time I can now go back and relearn at more leisure.
If anyone has a spare few seconds to hit the 'vote' button, here is
the link. The public vote only comprises one out of 20 sets of votes.

Some of you might be interested in the contest itself - it is strictly
for amateurs and is a European based contest run by Eurovision Song
Contest fans.
Anyway, thanks once again for all the tips!

Here's the lyric of the song. A happy little number, I think you will
agree!
DISTURBING TENDENCIES
words and music by Andy Brook
sung by Tiina Kolehmainen
You were a beautiful baby; heaven sent, heaven knows
You had a privileged childhood - boarding school, and it shows
Why is it no-one else can see what I can see? You need help
you are displaying Disturbing Tendencies
Drinking too much, taking too many pills
Smoking too much, chasing too many thrills
When are you ever gonna wake up
And where will that be?
Too many nights end in too many fights
You're out for the count, when they turn on the lights
And when are you ever gonna grow up
And what will you be?
And will it be before your nemesis will show up?
With your celebrity lifestyle, gutter press stalking you
They set you up just to knock you down - that's what they always do
Now it's becoming clear for everyone to see, you need help
You are displaying Disturbing Tendencies
Drinking too much, taking too many pills
Smoking too much, chasing too many thrills
When are you ever gonna wake up
And where will that be?
Too many nights end in too many fights
You're out for the count, when they turn out the lights
And when are you ever gonna grow up
And what will you be?
When are you ever gonna grow up
And what will you be?
And will it be before your nemesis will show up?
Will it be before....
Are you gonna grow up?
You were a beautiful baby; heaven sent, heaven knows...
