    Recommendation for DAWbox or other needed

    If you don't want to build it yourself, maybe see about getting a local shop to do it. You can hand-pick the parts, and even get advice from the shop in the area of compatibility, etc. I'll bet you could get a fire-breathin' computer together for not much cash outlay. Also, if something should...

    Is this House?

    Thanks for listening, Jagular. Yeah, I don't know what it is either, but maybe what "type" of music it is, doesn't really matter anyway. Most of my stuff is pretty schizophrenic....next tune will probably be along the lines of a "roots-oriented post-industrial glam/pop/zydeco ballad, with a tad...

    Is this House?

    Hey, thanks for taking the time to listen. jake-owa: you're right...I need to expand and pull from more of a variety of sounds when getting a tune together. Invisiblemute: I was asking in all seriousness, as I know what a four-on-the-floor beat is, but all the genres and sub-genres of...

    Is this House?

    Hey all...If anyone's up to it, can you please tell me what genre this would fit in? The song is called "Belgian Cherry", and if you could tell me what's wrong/right with the mix, I would be grateful. Right now, the tune just seems to feel flat. Thanks for any input. Here's the link...

    Broken Rule

    Hey Phyl....I really enjoyed this piece. It has a certain character to it that is soothing, yet strong. I think the transitions make sense....you might have some mixing details (levels between instruments)to play around with, but I liked this a lot. The ending part is nice...I see what people...

    I need some input or output...

    Hey groove........the comment you gave is fine. I just want to get some of my mixes out here to the forum. People can also comment about the feel of the music, or anything. I know most people comment on the mix itself, and the relative volume of each track/instrument. I'll take feedback of any...

    I need some input or output...

    Anyone welcome to listen and make comments/suggestions....This is another "mood piece", as it's not a pop song or a dance thing. Maybe a companion to a video or film, I don't know. Here she blows: http://www.nowhereradio.com/artists/album.php?aid=3182&alid=-1 It's called "Frustration" Thanks...

    configure laptop questions

    Hey ditnoj........Looking back at your post, I think what you are asking about(besides the hard-drive partitioning), is how to set up your computer to have different user(or hardware) profiles. This way, if you are recording, you select your recording profile, that doesn't have anything you...

    ditnoj.......This is what I can suggest: http://www.powerquest.com/partitionmagic/ You might want to do some reading about setting up a dual-boot system, if you don't already know how. Good luck! >>>deepseasquid

    Comments are welcome...

    Hey groovejunkie, Thanks for the feedback. You're right...it does help to have a constant theme to hang on to, especially if you're going to be taking a few trips away from it, you do need something to come back to. I was trying to tie in the beginning theme by...

    Comments are welcome...

    Hey thanks Phyl....This was made with a Roland JV-1010, using an existing preset. Yeah, I like the introspective stuff as well.

    Comments are welcome...

    Thanks for all your help to everyone on this board. I've learned a lot. If you have the chance, please tell me what your thoughts are on this piece. I say "piece", because it's not really a song, and I guess it's classical because of the instrumentation and writing style. It's called "(I am)...

    Do you like distortion?

    Hey Toki987...Yeah, I hope nobody has trouble with this as far as damaging their equipment. You have a good idea with keeping your listening volume down until you know the program material. Animals was done on a Novation K Station. Thanks for the reply.

    Chasing Rainbows

    The vocals remind me of Al Stewart a bit. Most people know his "Year of the Cat", but few know his other songs, which are quite good. (His guitar-playing is better than average too.) Macle, I enjoyed your tune...... I can hear some good pop influences, and I think you have your own thing...

    Do you like distortion?

    Hey everyone....If you get a chance, listen to these two, and tell me what you think. "The Beaver and the Blackbird", and one called "Animals". Thanks. http://www.nowhereradio.com/artists/album.php?aid=3182&alid=-1 See you in the future.

    What do you think?

    Hey Chad.....Thanks for the listen. Yeah, you're right-that part of "swirling" towards the end, has a few "pops" that I could've sworn were there one time, and gone the next. I'll bring down those particular waves....They're cloned, offset, and volume enveloped to go in and out. Probably just...

    Ears that hear this can tell me....

    Stickman...you have a good grasp on what it is to play electric guitar in a rock song. I liked your guitar phrasing and general taste as well. I'm looking forward to hearing more of your stuff. >deepseasquid

    What do you think?

    Thanks for the response... TripleM, you're right....it is pretty much a series of chords, more of a "mood" piece than anything else. TheStickman-I might try your suggestion of a bit of reverb...Thanks for the encouragement. >deepseasquid

    What do you think?

    Here's a couple of things....tell me what you think...they're pretty different, but I've got ideas for both styles of music, and I thought I'd put them up. Any opinions are appreciated: http://www.nowhereradio.com/artists/album.php?aid=3182&alid=-1 Thanks, ....deepseasquid.
