Hi! Why would you want to convert Real Audio to mp3? Just curious. What will you do with the file when you do this?

.

Thanks Tapehead! I do play the upright bass. I agree that it would make the recording sound finer. I also plan to add banjo and fiddle. This particular mp3 was for submission to a songwriter showcase entry. They prefer very sparse instrumentation. In fact, using the mandolin was kinda'...

Thank you for taking time to comment about our music. Yes, the "mello" sound of the mandolin was intentional on these recordings. We hoped to compliment the lyrical content of the songs. We have other songs with more of a bite. The recording technique was just as straight forward and simple...

Actually, I am comfortable with either method, however I will be working with accomplished musicians who apply their own improvisational interpretations to the music in general. This is especially true when their particular solo is featured in the song. I am trying to develop a "boiler plate"...

Thanks Drstawl! I was listening to your song about swimmin' in a sea of (well... you know.) Cool tracks. I used to go to Newport Beach all the time when I was a kid. (40 years ago!) George www.mp3.com/lostandlonesome

Interesting that you should mention Skaggs. I am not a great fan either, but he is one of the few who have recorded a good CD using only guitar and mandolin the way we do. It is an unusual approach, but I think it results in a certain clarity, which is desirable in acoustic music. Thank you...

Here is a link to a couple of recordings I made using SB Live Value card ($89) and a Marshall Condenser Mic ($169). I do realize that this extremely low end methodology does not result in the finest quality, but for my hobby, it works well. Click here --> www.mp3.com/lostandlonesome George

Here is a link to my bluegrass music mp3 site. www.mp3.com/lostandlonesome I have not been doing this home recording thing very long, and would appreciate your opinions! Also, if you have a similar site, let me know so I can link ya'. Thanks, George

Let us know as soon as the mp3 site is available. I will be happy to click on it and give you a little feedback. George www.mp3.com/lostandlonesome (Bluegrass Music Website)

One good way would be to include the URL in every email, bbs post etc. so others can click on it. You have not done that here, and I would have clicked on your site just to support you. See what I mean? Go to mp3.com and into the artists area for lots of tips on how to get visitors to your...

Would anyone happen to know of a slick template for lining out arrangements for multi-track recording at different times in the studio? I am looking for a kind of "flow chart" to pencil in what part of the song is next, who plays lead on the breaks, backups, vocals during the chorus... etc. I...

Okay... So last night I put the MXL2001P to a practical test. I set the thing up on a wooden deck, with winds gusting 10-20 MPH, and used it for a house concert! Here is what happened. (And what did not.) The shock mount successfully isolated the mic from floor noise. The wind have very...

The bad review kinda' concerns me but I really have to take it with a grain of panic. I recently bought one of these mics. For my purpose, it seems quite adequate. Hell, I only spent $30 on the n-trak studio software license. I was using a cheap radio shack knock-off dynamic mic, with a...

I am pretty happy with the MXL-2001P I got off ebay for $169. Check it out at... http://cgi.ebay.com/aw-cgi/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=285102290
