ALL songs ever written conform to patterns of some type. If they didn't they wouldn't be recognizable as "songs" and they wouldn't contain music. All music, be it commercial or ethnic, heavily relies on rather strict patterns (some simple patterns and others incredibly complex patterns). "The"...

Chuku, this is probably not the answer you want, but it's the answer you need. "Professionals" learn how to play their instruments correctly from the beginning of a tune to the end of a tune. "Amateurs" record different takes due to unprofessional playing and piece the best parts of those...

I like my songs. I think they are good quality. But I never copyright any of them. Why? Well, I think the chance of anyone stealing my songs, then making a million bucks out of them is 100% ZERO. It just won't happen. How many completely unknown, never published over 50 years, and likely never...

It seems a tiny bit bassy or boomy to me, but that may be just my taste in recordings. But boy I sure like the playing and singing though. When most people try to play Mississippi John style they fail to capture that special guitar mood, but not you. And your vocals perfectly suit that type of...

Here's a short recording of me playing acoustic guitar------ Playing Guild D-120 by Jimbo123 - picosong I'm 100% happy with the sound at this volume level, but when I try to increase the volume of the final recording to levels that I would prefer .... I run into a problem. I would like the...

You can only edit your own posts, not the posts of other people, unless you're a moderator. I notice that 2 replies are "definitely" not there any more. I suspect those replies are the ones that the OP is referring to. There's a few different moderators on this site, just because you didn't...

Most mics, even the very best and most expensive mics, will distort if the input volume is too direct and loud. One easy way to solve the problem is when you go really loud, simply turn your head right away from the mic. In other words sing across the mic, not into the mic. Also, Audacity is...

Yes, he wrote a very detailed post setting out the precise uses he was intending for the mic. His lengthy post showed he fully understood microphones, but he said he had not been involved with recording for the past 5 years and was looking for information about current, new mics. He received...

My Studio Projects B1 mic has suddenly stopped working. It did this once before, about 2 years ago, but then suddenly started working a few days later. I didn't do anything to get it going again, it just suddenly started working again. This time it's been dead for a few weeks. I'm not...

I've always recorded my live vocal/acoustic guitar music in stereo, using 2 mics. I've always "assumed" stereo was better, because that seems to be what almost everyone believes..........the theory being we've got 2 ears so we hear in stereo, therefore if we want to make an acoustically...

I've been using a matched pair of large condenser mics (Studio Projects B1) to get "stereo" sound in recordings for a few years; I'm very happy with the results. I record my acoustic guitar playing and vocals at the same time, and do no overdubbing........ just simple "live" recording with each...
