. Even if the hookah is brand new, clean it to remove any foreign flavors and chemicals. Scrub every piece of the hookah with a soft brush, except for the non-washable hoses. It's easiest to clean the hookah right after each smoking session, instead of leaving residue to dry. At minimum, clean after every fourth or fifth session. There are many parts to a hookah, but it's not too tough to figure out. Here are the terms used in the instructions below: Base The lowest section of the hookah. This can be detached and filled with water. Shaft The main vertical body of the hookah. The lower end has a stem that sits in the water. Gasket Silicone or rubber "donuts." Anywhere two parts fit together, you need one of these to make the connection airtight. Also called a grommet. Valves Each smoking hose fits over a valve, located on the shaft. Bowl The container at the top that holds hookah tobacco, also called shisha. Check the "stem," or thin lowest part of the shaft. Add enough water to submerge the stem about an inch (2.5 cm) under the water. Avoid overfilling the base, as the layer of air makes the smoke smooth and easier to pull. Add ice to keep the smoke cool and less harsh. Some people enjoy mixing the water with other liquids for additional flavors, such as juice or vodka. Most drinks will work, but stay away from milk and dairy products, which can ruin the hookah. Attach the silicone or rubber gasket to the top of the base. Push the main shaft into the gasket to ensure an airtight seal. Confirm that the stem reaches 1 inch (2.5 cm) under the water. Use the smaller gaskets to fit the hoses over the valves on the shaft's side. Some hookah models will leak air unless every valve is attached to a hose or a rubber stopper. Others are self-sealing. Cover the hole at the top of the hookah shaft with your palm. Try to inhale through one of the hoses. If you succeed in pulling in air, one of the connections is not airtight. Inspect each connection and correct this: If you're having trouble fitting a part inside a gasket, wet the gasket with water or a drop of dish soap. If a connection is a little loose, wrap the stem with electrical tape and fit the gasket over the tape. If you're missing a gasket, wrap athletic tape around the stem. Keep wrapping until you can connect the two parts with a tight fit.

summary: Clean the hookah Learn the terminology. Fill the base with water. Connect the shaft and hoses. Test it for gaps.

You can begin growing sage using several methods. If you've never had sage before, you can either plant fresh sage seeds (which can be temperamental) or purchase a small plant from the garden center and transplant it into your garden or a clay pot. However, if you already have an established sage plant, you can use cuttings or layering techniques to grow a new plant. . Sage grows well in rich clay loam that drains well and is rich in nitrogen. It prefers soil with a pH of 6.0 to 6.5. If you're using clay soil, try mixing in some sand and organic matter. This lightens the soil and helps with drainage. Sage grows best when it is planted with other perennial herbs, such as thyme, oregano, marjoram and parsley. After prepping your soil, you can plant the sage either in pots or in the ground. You can either plant sage plants or plant seeds. If you are transferring a sage plant into the ground, then make sure to plant it at the same level as it was in the pot. If you decide to plant seeds, they should be planted in late spring (in a bed or in a container) about 1/8 inch deep and 24 to 30 inches apart. They will take 10 to 21 days to germinate. When the sage plants are small, you should mist them with water to keep the soil moist. But when they reach maturity, you should only water sage when the soil surrounding the plant is dry to the touch. In fact, in some climates you won't need to water your sage at all - they'll get all the moisture they need from rainfall. Sage is a tough little plant and is very drought-tolerant. Ideally, sage plants should grow in full sun, but they will also survive in light shade in hotter areas. If sage is exposed to too much shade, it will grow leggy and flop over. So if you keep your sage plant in an indoor area without much sunlight, you can use fluorescent lights instead. Standard fluorescent lamps should be 2 - 4 inches above the plants. However, high output fluorescent, compact fluorescent, or high intensity discharge (metal halide or high pressure sodium) plant growing lights work better and, if used, should be placed 24 feet (0.61.2m) about the plants.

summary: Buy sage seeds or a sage plant. Prepare the soil Plant the sage. Go easy with watering. Provide adequate sunlight.

Mixing is the process of affecting parts of a single track and the overall master track. You can edit the high, low, and mid frequency range for each track. Once the tracks sound good together, experiment with panning the tracks to the left or right. Panning is a good way to isolate a track and blend it in with other tracks. Most multitrack recorders come equipped with an equalizer (EQ). Mixing can help accent parts you want to be more present, or even hide parts you're not thrilled about. Equalize each track and balance everyone. Low sounds should be the strongest for a good balance. For inspiration listen to the Beatles with headphones. They only had a four track recorder and you can hear multiple complex parts interacting and balancing each other out. Once you record your album, you can add certain effects that will improve the sound of the album. Popular post-production effects are compression and reverb. Compression squeezes the track together, lessening the dynamic range between the loud and quiet parts of the song. As compression brings elements of the sound together, reverb redistributes the sound to fill a space. Reverb widens the sound wave by stimulating the sound bouncing off multiple surfaces. Mastering is a compression technique used in post-production to ensure every song is equal in volume. You also strive to achieve an equal balance in each speaker. Mastering is not an easy process and may require a more experienced engineer. Some music software programs come equipped with a simple form of mastering. Record labels will typically have their own engineer to master an album they plan on releasing. There are different techniques for mastering, depending on the form you release your album (vinyl, CD, cassette, or stream). Burn the CD through the recorder or computer and give it a listen. If it does not sound good in a stereo system or headphones, decide if you want to record certain songs again. Pass a few copies of the demo out to trusted friends and fellow musicians. Ask them for constructive feedback on the album to determine if the songs are working. Create album art and make the album look good. You can create an image using a design software like Photoshop or Illustrator. Another option you could do is to use a photo of something. Look at your favorite album covers to decide if you want to pay an artist to do something special like Santana's album Abraxas. Then there are famous album covers that are nothing but a picture like The Beatles' Abbey Road.
summary: Mix the song. Add production effects. Master the album. Make a demo of the album. Design a cover.
