Well, I haven't been 'round these parts for a very long time. :o Hopefully, a few of you will check out my newest recording anyway, and I'm anxious to catch up on what I've been missing out on over here! http://soundclick.com/share?songid=8646020

Hi all, Well, some of you may remember my questions about clipping on my little song that my girls recorded (with my son on guitar), Gettin' Ready. Fortunately, Jeff Maher took the time to analyze my wav files, mix and master them, and teach me a bundle in the process! I'm still trying to soak...

I posted a mix of my daughters singing one of my songs on the mp3 clinic a while back, and got some advice about working on the beginning of the chorus, where it was sounding like the lead vocal was clipping. Some of the guys talked about EQ'ing, and +,- hertz stuff, which was way over my head...

Please feel free to suggest whatever strikes you. This is a very rough first draft of my newest song. I'm hoping for some ideas on arrangement. How does it make you feel? etc. http://soundclick.com/share?songid=8096820 Anxiously awaiting your thoughts!

Kayley, my 13 year old is singing lead. Kara, my 15 year old, is singing harmony. Lukas, my 18 year old, is playing guitar. We recorded this for my 5 year old, so he can play it when he's getting ready in the mornings! http://soundclick.com/share?songid=8007390

Hi guys, I finally got some recording time today, and was able to redo the vocals for my newest posted song, "My Friend", plus a new version of the gospel song, "All Of My Heart"!! I've been trying to "brain train" (as Jeff Maher put it) myself out of some bad habits (swooping to notes), and...

Musician's Friend is having a sale (not really news), and they have a really good article about Leo Fender. Check it out, here: http://www.musiciansfriend.com/fender-sellabration?src=3TP9HA&ZYXSEM=0 Scroll down below the ad.

What do you think? Can you tell I've been learning from you guys? I know, my vocals still have somewhat to be desired, but go ahead and give it to me straight. Critique whatever strikes you! http://soundclick.com/share?songid=7917358 The song I'm working on now should be up in a few days. I'm...

I'm converting old cassette tapes to digital, and trying to remove as much of the background noise without distorting the speaking voice. These are 20+ year old recordings of church sermons that we are trying to preserve. Hubby has asked me to try to remove as much of the "shhhh" that is...

OK, so, this time I'm posting in the clinic, and I am welcoming your comments, feedback, disapproval on whatever strikes you! I re-recorded the vocals after considering the feedback I got here, and from some of my friends. http://soundclick.com/share?songid=7864463 p.s. I thought I was just...

Hi folks, Would you please give a few minutes to listen to my new recording? I've been learning so many new things about recording, mixing, compression, tweaking reverb, etc. and I'd really appreciate your honest feedback. Even if you don't ascribe to the lyrics (gospel song), could you critique...

Please listen to my song, and provide any feedback you feel/think might help me with my future projects. It is a simple recording, with only my piano + a little reverb, and 2 tracks of vocals - no effects. I don't aspire to go pro, but I want to learn and grow so that I can create decent...

Hi Mike, I'm pasting part of your comment here, so we can hopefully talk about it. gecko zzed wrote: Incidentally you refer to dynamic mikes and overloading the DP004. I expect this is not a problem with the mikes, but more a problem with gain structure. 'Gain structure' may not mean much...

I've purchased several iTunes exclusive "live" recordings, and I ALWAYS prefer these over what was done in the studio. Has anyone else noticed this? Does anyone know what the fundamental differences are?? For instance, "Make You Feel My Love" - Adele "Love Song" - Sara...

Hi all, There seems to be much discussion about this, so I decided to do a little test. Mind you, this is on bargain basement products, but you can get an idea of the difference if you listen to the linked clips. Hubby brought home a MXL MARK condenser mic they use at his work, to compare...
