Thanks a lot; yeah its a really great song, not too many people know about it yet since the album just came out a few months ago, so its been hard trying to find some music for it.

I need a Seal song transcribed as soon as possible for an upcoming performance, but the song isn't officially available anywhere in sheet music form. Are any of you willing to tab the song? I have contacted several transcription services i've found online, but i've had no luck so far. Heres a...

I'm having a lot of trouble figuring out how to set up my equipment to use the processors for mix down. I have just been using it all together at the same time while tracking (recording with effects, compression, auto tune, etc.) and it works fine for my own stuff, but I will be doing other work...

Got it... sorry for the misunderstanding; i've been running on very little sleep this past week.

I mean everything else as far as the volume of the rest of the vocals being up high enough. I'll try the pencil thing, but I just feel like it might be a problem with the setting on my PreSonus Tube Pre Amp because i've had a few other people sing into it and I get the same problem except in...

Thanks. I'm actually sending it in to be mastered by someone else, so all I need to do is get a good mix, and your tips have helped. My only issue still is with the S sounds that stick out. Once I get the mic set to a certain volume (usually perfect for everything else), I start getting the...

I've been working on getting my CD together for several months now. After months and months of listening to hundreds of beats, i've finally picked the ones i'm going to use, have most of the lyrics written, and have started recording vocals over them. Mixing is a problem though because all of...

I am recording vocal tracks onto my DP 01. I have all the instrumentals already recorded, so I put them on one track to sing along to, and leave the other 7 tracks to vocals. I find that if I set the volume too high, my sibilance starts to get really bad with the S's coming too strong, and it...

Extremely helpful post, thanks a lot for the advice. I will use it sparingly, but yeah there are a couple of instances where it fits perfectly.

Yeah i've just got a few songs that the chorus sounds better then anything else i've tried when the vocal melody follows the instruments, but like I said i've noticed a lot of people are pretty negative towards that kind of thing. I think for the R&B type thing i'm doing, it fits well and like I...

I see negative comments all the time for vocal melodies that follow the main instrument's melody. What do you guys think about following the instrumental melody as the vocal for just the hook though? I never really thought of it as a big deal, but I keep seeing people all over the net...

Nothing has been recorded yet and this is the first project im doing in this style. The thing is, most of the songs I have already are all modern R&B type tracks, so I want to finish it off with that classic Motown sound type thing, because thats really where im at as far as taste/vocals go...

I think its more of the contract with the companies that keeps them from being able to sell them as anything else. Some sites only offer them as mp3, but if you contact some of the sellers they are willing to sell them straight to you instead of going through the company, but thats against...

You've both got some good beats but still not quite what i'm looking for to finish off my project. Forgot to mention all of them need to be upbeat because i've already got 3 ballads. Also, James Brown and Earth Wind and Fire type stuff would work too.

Well these are R&B beats that have already been created, and most of the companies the producers of the tracks work under have a policy of sending them in mp3 format only, as one file. For instance, I have personally contacted several of the people i'm interested in using beats from, and they...
