In about a month my songs will be 'ready' to get mastered. I have recorded, engineered, and mixed at my home studio to the best of my abilities. I plan to send this out to a place like Oasis for duplication and marketing and a relative who is in charge of PR at MCA in Nashville. 1. I ass/u/me...

What about Adaptec Jam and Toast?

So far I like doing it freehand at 1/2 speed (and then playing back at normal speed of course). This helps me move the panned riff with the feel of the music or the vibe.
