    Download Links for My Song Covers

    Hi there, My name is Ahren Baesler and I have been teaching myself how to play guitar and sing for a couple years now. In my free time, I record covers (and hopefully originals) and upload them to YouTube. This is the place where you can download all of my YouTube song covers. The songs are high-quality MP3’s (192kbps). They are all free. You can find my musical covers at YouTube. -Ahren Baesler (AhrenBa on YouTube) My songs are all FREE, but if you plan to use my songs in a public video, etc. please contact me via YouTube or leave a comment here. Thank you and enjoy!

    Frequently Asked Questions:

    1.) What kind of guitar do you use?
    It’s a Washburn D30s and was purchased for $300 from Musiciansfriend.com

    2.) What about the strings?
    I usually use D’addario EJ16 strings. :)

    3.) How do you record your covers?
    I use an MXL 2001 condenser mic to to record vocals and a pretty crappy dynamic mic to record the acoustic guitar. I use two On-Stage mic stands. Both of the mics run into a Lexicon Omega mixer which runs into my MacBook and I mainly use Ableton Live to record/mix in. I use my Canon SD870is digital camera to record the video, which then goes into iMovie. Here, I mute the sound from the camera and put the audio from the mics in. I export on Medium settings (640×480, .m4v) and upload to YouTube!

    4.) How much did all of that cost?
    Guitar: $300
    MacBook: $1250
    Mic Stands and Dynamic Mics: $45
    Condenser Mic: $60
    Audio Interface: $100
    Cables, etc: $35

    5.) You should try out for American Idol!!
    I appreciate the support, but I don’t think that my style is what American Idol is looking for. Plus, there are many, many better vocalists than me on YouTube, who I think have, and deserve, a much better chance than me. :)

    6.) Do you take song suggestions?
    Sure, I’m always open to taking suggestions, but I can’t guarantee that I’ll get to them. Right now, I can’t even get to the ones I want to do. :/

    7.) Where did you learn how to play guitar and/or sing?

    I have never taken any guitar or vocal lessons, although I wish I would have when I was younger. I started teaching myself how to play guitar a little over two years ago, and started singing about one year ago.

    8.) Why do you use a capo on some of your videos that only use barre chords?

    Good observation! I just use it to lower the action on the strings, thus making it easier to play the barre chords. :)

    9.) How old are you and where are you from?

    I am 19 years old and am from Oregon in the USA. I currently attend the University of Oregon.
