Nope, which is why I assumed it was okay. But I was just asking since my ear isn't too well trained to pick up these sorts of things. I did end up just taking down the volume on the first half of the song, but I still want to know for future reference if I can be losing anything by just...

Yeah I record all my guitars and vocals well below peak levels, but I'm curious about VSTs like EZ Drummer. Does it really matter if EZ is peaking? I mean I don't really hear a difference in quality like you would if a real set was peaking out. The reason I ask is I'm at a point in the song...

I play it again if I can, but with some stuff it's just too much of a pain in the ass since I'm not a very tight player anyway.

Yeah I get afraid of ruining it with words that aren't as good as the music, but even moreso I'm afraid of ruining it with my sub par recording and mixing skills. Yeah they say a good song will shine through a crappy mix (which I think is only true in certain styles of music), but having a good...

I like the song a lot. The vocals seem kind of pushed back in the mix. The toms are a little boomy sounding for my taste, but it's nothing major. If the vocals were brought up then it would sound a lot better.

Yeah I found out that they're supposed to be a little loose without strings on it. I'm an idiot. :D

As far as I'm concerned, if you know what you're doing well enough to not risk getting viruses, then there is no reason you can't have your recording PC hooked up to the internet. I do regular backups anyway, so if something DOES happen, I'm safe. I'd be doing that if I didn't have internet...

I already tightened the nut, but they're still loose. For clarification, I mean the post where the string is wrapped around. I'm in the middle of restringing and I want to take care of this beforehand.

Select the files you want to fade with Ctrl+left click and then use the mouse cursor to adjust the fades (make sure the little icon changes to the fade tool).

The mixer is the large thing that has the knobbies and faders on it. :p Mixers usually have preamps on them. Preamps are the things you plug the mic cable into. It drives the signal to make up for a lack of signal level the mic has on its own and drives it up so you can record at a proper...

I really liked it. I agree with DavidK that there seems to be a lot of "low" on the track. Other than that everything else sounded good to me.

Turn down your headphones or get ones that are better at blocking noise out (thus keeping the drum sound IN).

I don't know the numbers, but it sucks. Really messes with my already crappy mixes...I hate it. However, myspace makes it really easy to get in contact with new people and bands and to show my music to a bunch of people.
