Hi there guys- I just did my first internet collaboration and would love any feedback I could get The song is the "Capital Of Mistletoe" - A christmas song- At http://www.soundclick.com/bands/5/songbirdcoopercollaborationmusic.htm All Lyrics by Songbird Cooper in England Music written and...

Hi there guys - I did a search for this and couldnt find it- I am trying to do some online collaboration with some friends, who dont have a VF-160 (they use some other multittracker, which is computer based). I am trying to collaborate like this: 1 ) I record the backing music, then send a...

Ok I know what compression does (reduce the dynamic range of a recorded signal). I see there are probably a zillion old posts which answer general compression FAQ type stuff . The trouble is I have never really used one (I must have had my head in the sand) and I see that it is considered a...

I wonder if there is anyone else out there who has some decent tips - Because I am a one man band, I have to make my own mixdowns, and always end up getting the vocal part wrong - 1) Its too quiet - (I cringe about my own voice and turn it down too much) 2) Its too loud - (I over-compensate...

Hi there guys - I posted previously about soundcards, but I have had a reality check about how much time I really have for fiddling, and my question has become much simpler: Is there a cheapish ($100) card I can buy which has a good, high quality set of sampled "instruments" for midi playback...

Hi there guys - I did a search on this and was not able to find my original post (from about a year ago, admittedly) or anything else similar. I used to have a computer in about 1992 and could play midi through it using Powerchords Pro- The "instruments" sounded great and were well sampled...

Hi there guys - I am a real newbie so please excuse me if this question is really basic. A while ago (1992), I upgraded my computer's soundcard with a "Gravis Ultrasound" card - It sounded great and I was able to record loads of really good music using it's "sounds" as a drum machine. All of...

Hi there guys - I was hoping that some of you might be able to give me some songwriting feedback on a little ditty I wrote. Of the many attempts at songwriting I have made, its one song that I keep returning to, even though its much more silly than my normal high-brow whinings about the...
