I don't think anything major stands out but any suggestions are welcome http://www.lightningmp3.com/live/11483-SONG069.mp3

this might be the funniest song i've heard in a long time. It's hard to make silly songs that are actually funny and you've done it in spades! that line "Chicks with dicks in the stars!" made me laugh out loud, but the best part about it was it was a good hook (melodically). the whole thing...

This is a cool thread. I'll start off by saying that. I wanted to put in my 2 cents on what deserves a recording and what a good musician is. Last night I saw a drummer and guitarist, that's it, play a set. And even though it was only two people there was wayyy too much going on. The...

that was interesting to hear how much a producer with good ears can help a song that was good become better. It thought the first mix was okay, but the second really almost made it sound like a completely different recording of the same song. good song ... but the little musical alchemy that...

well, the demo i'm making is in my garage and so it's not the best quality and my bandmates don't have the patience to get a perfect take. I figure if this demo is better kept as something to show what we sound like and not to be THE recording that defines us. I hope to record in a real studio...

Should the purpose of a demo be to make something that shows what your band can sound like after over dubs and multiple guitar tracks and what not, OR should a demo be a polished version of what your band sounds like live? I'm recording with my band and I could put alot of effort and make it...

It's the tom more than the mic. If you want a really big booming tom sound you need big toms that are tuned correctly before anything else. Of course it doesn't hurt to mic it with a mic with better low frequency response. Try a the d6 on the floor tom and compare it with some standard mic...

i like this song. everything's in it's right place for me... "no one uses me like you" - cool delivery Guitars sound awesome. Great mixing of different tones with just the right amount effects to keep it interesting.

i really like the break in the middle of the song. I'm not a big fan of the guitar tone used in the verses. Something with less distortion I think would work better. The reverb your using I think is too hall sounding, maybe more of a subtle room sort of reverb would work better. For this...

thanks for the input joey. Did you think the vocals sat in ok? and do you think compression on the keys would help them not get lost in the mix? I only ask cuz my bandmates are giving me their two cents about the mix and i'm trying to accommodate

I haven't recorded anything with any effort for about 8 months, but finally i'm at it again, and just as unsure of how things sound as ever :) These are just for demo purposes for getting gigs and what not. Really appreciate any input anybody has. Sleep -...

i got the mk 2 2488 or whatever it's called and the phantom power powers four of the eight inputs. what i'm wondering is if there's a way to maybe alter that so it only powers lets say just two imputs? And if not would plugging in a sm 57, lets say, into an input providing phantom power cause...

i recently got the maxon ad9 pro and i love it. i've had the visual sound H2O and the boss dd-6. so truth be told i haven't played with the best delay pedals, but the ad9 pro doesn't mess with your tone and responds the dynamics of your playing really well. It's also nice and small compared to...

I'm seriously considering getting this pedal: http://fuzzhugger.com/pedal-algal-bloom.html , but i haven't heard any reviews from real people. Is there anyone out there who has tried this pedal or any of the other fuzzhugger products. I've played other fuzz pedals and they all seem to get...

i'd go into looking for stuff on craigslist. The good stuff is still expensive, but budget gear is usually sold for sometimes half or more of what it was originally bought for. Boss DS-1, for example, sells for 20 bucks. alot of the entry level boss stuff goes for no more than 45 bucks. BUT...
