Does my bum look big in this? (Big Bum Song) sent to digital stores

Image
TUNECORE: Finally - what can I tell ya - I have a video but I had never released a single or an album before - I did it! like my nice ( niece!) Ruby says " I did it I did it " - yeah that's great.  For me it's difficult being revelatory and my natural survival mode is to try and not do this - so it's not from gloating but from a good place of personal, psychic growth and the practice of anti-fear. Peter Litvin did an awesome job as music producer - stellar. Roman Vail made it sound amazing as the mastering guy in JLM sound Dumbo. I selected an image from web and looked at many ass shots - then created the design myself - so its very much a home made/cooked release - no record company involved - nor was anybody on a crowdsource begged to fund my dream - just a piece of music that is true. TUNEcore is a great service - it has four main buttons Details - release date/ISRC UPC codes liner notes etc Stores - who and where it will be sold to - iTunes/amazon etc

Is the use of the word ASS in lyrics explicit?

 This must be just a gratuitous excuse to write some filthy words in LAUGHJOHNLAUGHS! Blog- I was researching this because the words of my first ever single - "Does my bum look big in this? " contains the word ' ass ' in a line in the third verse. "Ohh please tell me baby do you like my ASS?" which is a fair relationship question imo ...but my G/f says in church circles it is likely regarded as lewd or crude .. hmm I  hadn't realized. So here is some interesting material derived from a quick search on the topic - using the search terms ' is the word ass in lyrics considered explicit ' I got some information about the 7 dirty words or seven naughty or filthy words - whatever they may be titled. However if I publish the 7 naughty words in full then I need to mark my blog as explicit which is a shame - so may need to write a tamer version without the highly charged naughty/dirty words. Anyway basically the good news is as follows:  I don

Excuse me, pardon... what did you say? I'm trying out my french and thanks to the wonders of google I am translating my fav phrase into French J'ai dit ce que mes fesses étaient regarde grand en cela?

+4dBu = Professional/ + 4 times more signal. -10dBV = Consumer /less signal

What is line level? –10dBV and +4dBu mysteries. I have an Apogee Duet and when I don't do enough recording practice I end up wrangling cables, wires and connections. The duet has a control surface called the Maestro inside the Mac and on the drop downs on the Maestro control ( see picture ) this is a crucial place where I need to select the type of signal going into unit and the particular connector used be it phono/guitar jack or XLR - the three pronged one. So it could be  XLR  but then does the XLR need phantom power ? and as per the image I can choose XLR with +4dBu or -10dBVso whats that all mean - in terms of the light reading I have done and its not the first time I have tried to grasp it - this is my summary of WTF line level - Ok Line level is the strength of the signal from or to a piece of audio equipment and the strenth of the signal has consumer ( weak) or Professional ( strong ) strength. The STRONG Rawrr! is 4 times wow four times so that's the plus f
