This is the first happy, love song I've written. Let me know what you think. Thanks! Title is: Have I Told You? Piltdown Man www.nowhereradio.com/piltdownman/singles

Hey, fellas and ladies. It's been a while since I've had time to record. This one's about 90%. Need a little polishing on the guitars, and the mix is prelim, but I wanted some feedback before I spent any more time on it. Thanks for listening! Educated Through Repeated Blows to the Head...

Sorry if this is a bit off-topic, but I'm wondering: how many of you are REALLY recording in bedrooms, living rooms, home offices, etc. I record every song I write in a home office on my home computer with Cubase 5, a couple of guitars, an Fxpansion DR-008 drum machine, a 10+ year old ZOOM 2020...

Here's a little sample ditty I worked up a long time ago, then completely rewrote, then completely remixed after your initial comments a few months ago. Let me know if this is close to final, if you don't mind. T'anks! Did You and Mary Have Sexual Intercourse...

Okay, as per your comments, I've "moistened" the vox, added some parts and tried to make the chorus "pop" a little more. I'm hoping this is close to a final mix on this one. I'm ready to put it to bed and start working on a new song. I've got five kick-ass ideas burning a hole in my pocket. Let...

Here's one I'm working on. Please ignore the lead guitar solo... too drunk to record a solo right now. :-) j/k, but I've had a few, which kills my playing ability. Comments? Song title: NoWhere www.nowhereradio.com/piltdownman/singles Here's the lyrics: I live my life in darkness, in the...

I'm working on some new songs. (some of you have listened and given feedback. Thanks.) I was married for five years and didn't get to record a single song during that time. So for the next few days, I'm going to post a few of my earlier tunes. These were all recorded totally analog on a Tascam...

I "wrote" this song eight years ago... LONG before I knew what the hell I was doing. It was definitely a joke (and I might have been high). It's stupid and horrible, and that's why I'm adding it to the a capella challenge. I hope you all hate it. :-) Chill is the name. This won't be up there...

When I listen to a retail CD -- or even numerous posts on this site -- and then listen to one of my own CDs or songs, they're often at a much lower overall volume. I push my faders until just before the "clip light" comes on (in Cubase), and I use compression, but I can't get the same level. Any...

I bought a new mic a few days ago (B-2 Pro, dual diaphragm condenser), so I'm trying to decide if I like it. It seems to have some "sizzle" at the top end, but it has much more presence and body than my old piece of junk. So let me know how the vocals sound, mic-wise. I just started this song...

Okay... after my horrible post last night, I made time with a local gorgeous, six-foot-tall bar-tendress named Amanda (I'm six-foot-four -- you do the math) who may do the cover art for my new album. Obviously, I'm psyched. This song is called Kiss Me 'Til I Bleed, and it's basically a love...

I'd like to officially apologize for my violent verbal reaction to a couple of posts on my No Christians Allowed thread from last night. Though I did calm down a little later in the thread, my initial reaction was childish, insolent and unwarranted. I had a very bad day yesterday and probably...

Thanks to the helpful advice and assistance of HR.com members, I have a new MP3 ripper that does a much better job, and my 128Kb rips now sound much better. So for those of you who had trouble with the 160 kb streams, this should work a little better. I've changed them all to 128 kb. Right now...

Fattened the drums. Brought up the vocals. Changed the guitar sound a bit -- that was difficult, considering the original recording -- it's not that much different. Let me know if this is better. Both versions are there, in case you didn't hear the first one. Thanks to everyone for their input...

Okay, I know something's wrong here, but I can't quite figure out what. I only recently discovered the joys of compression, which has helped me tremendously, but I still find something lacking in this mix. Give me some advice on: Everyone Will See...

I actually have two new songs and one remix, but I know how people freak out on this forum if you ask them to listen to more than one song... so... I recently wrote That's Alright With Me. Take a listen and tear it apart. You know you want to...

I tend to have lifeless mixes. I don't know all the ins and outs of compression, eq, reverb, et al. Listen to this song, "This Is My Head," and give me some technical advice on how to make it sound more ALIVE! I want some punch to my songs. Maybe it's just because I'm a sucky vocalist...

I've been doing this for years, but I only recently discovered this site. I have three songs on NoWhereRadio. I have a link here, but I'm not sure if it works. If not, just search for Piltdown Man at the site. I haven't subscribed to the service that will allow direct links yet, but I will if...
