https://soundcloud.com/joshwa-1/outnumbered I've been working on this piece on headphones since yesterday and after running it through my speakers I realised it didn't sound quite right. So I tweaked it and got it sounding okay through my speakers but I'm wondering if there's anything obvious...

Something a little bizarre I am working on, it would be good to get some thoughts on how it all sits n whatnot :D Thanks for listening! https://soundcloud.com/joshwa-1/exabyte

Hi there, I was just wondering if any of you know about any of the VST's Haywyre uses? There isn't much about his workflow online and I really dig his lead sound he uses and would like to try a track with something similar myself. So any ideas on how I would go about making this or any VST's...

I have been using Ableton Live 8 for a few years now and I have recently decided that I want to try drawing inspiration as I write from photos and images from the web. I want to test myself as I am a visually creative person and a blank grey platform as I write gives little inspiration for me. I...

Hi guys n' gals Basically I have one expansion kit (Metal Foundry) which I have mixed to high heaven until it sounds good to my ears but theres one thing really bugging me, the snares. The sound I am looking for just isn't in the set of snares on this kit but it is in Avatar. So, my question...

This is a newish original song I've revamped today with new sections, leads and also remastered it to keep things interesting. It would be great to get some opinions on it and how well it all sits in the mix. https://soundcloud.com/joshwa-1/momentum Let me know what you think Thanks!

"Skyfish" I just finished this track this morning and I wanted to get some opinions on it as a whole and see what you guys thought. I'd say genre-wise it's electronic/funky/? :P Anyway, here it is. Let me know what you think of the mix https://soundcloud.com/joshwa-1/skyfish

Most, if not all of the choir libraries I have listened to the demos are always done in a typical cathedral choir context, its all atmospheric soft sustains and it's too tame for me really. They lack the bite I am looking for as the subtle sombre tones of most just wont work with the music I...

Hi guys and gals, I'm looking for someone to listen to and critique my upcoming EP. One prerequisite is that you must please respect me and my music and won't just throw it on rapidshare or torrents as soon as I send you the links. While this will be a free album it is not in a release ready...

Probably obvious but after 2 or 3 years with Live 8 i still have no idea how to fade out a vst. I am trying to get this program which is basically an amp sim (for an old record/lp effect) to fade out after around 30 seconds but I am dumbfounded as how to approach this. The only option I have so...

Just something I am working on atm and I'd like to know you guy's opinions/thoughts. This is one track from a side project I am working on and I'm totally enjoying writing it style so far. I know there's nothing too complex going on but I feel that it is very "full" which is what I am aiming...

I don't know how to explain this very clearly but basically, say I have 2 mono guitar tracks recorded dry- one all the way L, the other all the way R. I group them and then I apply Amplitube 3, an Impulse Response program and then an EQ into the group (instead of on each track) as I need to cut...

Probably quite a n00b-ish question to ask but is there a dramatic improvement at all in quality? I only ask because I use digital amp sims to make my tone and I currently can't clean up the grime from the distortion and I just thought that the cause was probably because I go directly from my...

Any tips on how to tweak this track I have been working on for a better end result/more professional mix? Also, one question, on the part after the chorus I have one double tracked guitar with a -25 pan L and a 25 pan R and another guitar playing a rhythm part just on center and i can hear it...

Hi guys and gals, I was just wondering if anyone is up for collaborating and writing either the midi track for Ez Drummer or Superior 2.0 or recording a drum track yourself. I have a few tracks in the works currently for my latest project and usually I write and program my own drums but I am...

Not too much to say really, here is the finished track which I uploaded today and let me know what you think :) http://soundcloud.com/joshwa-1/end-sequence 3 more tracks in a similar vein can be found by clicking the link below... http://soundcloud.com/joshwa-1/sets/chilled-out-stuff-1/...

Hiya, I have just recently finished this track and I have an idea of where I want to take it vocally but I lack the power and emphasis in my voice to make it stand out. Ideally i would like screaming in some parts (due to the aggressive nature) but with singing aswell as that really helps to...

Hi all, I am just about to start up a tuition site for guitar :guitar: and I am struggling to get my head around how I am going to go about recording it all effectively. I will be using a Microsoft LifeCam Studio Full HD 1080p for the video recording but I don't know if I will be able to get a...

Here it is, the moment you've all been waiting for (even if you didn't know it) here is my beautiful new portable mic stand in all it's glory. It's dynamic, easy to hold and is a true feat of engineering if I don't say so myself ;) My beautiful new portable mic stand mk.I My beautiful new...

I have a few tracks on my soundcloud and I was wondering if anyone is interested in coming up with some lyrics and giving it a blast. It's going to be predominantly progressive metal/rock songs but don't let that put you off, there is a lot of variation through out. PM me if you are interested...
