Hi all, I figured I was up for something new, so I went out and got myself a slide! So here I am with a slide on pinky finger, my guitar tuned in open G.... and I have no idea how to get started. All I get is this nice high whine when I lay it across the b and e strings... :D Where to begin...

I apologize for the rant, but I just had to share this with you guys. I've been spending around 10-15 euros apiece for my XLR-cables at the local music store. Through friend I just got a chance to order them direct from the supplier (the same one the stores use) at f%&*ing 1,95 each. :eek...

Hey guys, Lately I've been playing a lot of acoustic guitar (as opposed to electric) and I've noticed that on occasion my left pinky finger tends to lock up at the second joint. It happens when I have to stretch it out to form a certain chord or hit a certain fret. At first I didn't really care...

Hi all, this is the situation: Uptill now I have been using a simple, cheap, AIWA home stereo system for monitoring. The results were... well... OK, but only by going back and forth between them and two other stereos in my house to check my mixes. I was at my parent's house a while back, and...

Hey guys, I've had a couple of new songs on my soundclick page for a while, but I haven't put them up for critique yet. Hope you guys would like to take a listen. 'Once for the time around' is the latest, I'm kinda proud of my little Hammond-riff (god bless soft synths) but the top 5 orso are...

Hey all, Gorty's new acoustic blues thread from this weekend inspired me to finish a blues tune I was doing a while ago. Lyrics are from a poem by Langston Hughes (great African American poet from the '50's). I'm not a great singer (that's an understatement) but I'm curious what you think of...

Hey guys, this is a nice little experiment I got going here: On my soundclick page there's two versions of one of my songs (some of you might've heard it already). The old one was done on my onboard soundcard using my minidisc player as a pre-amp. The new version is through my new audiophile...

Well, here goes... I just posted my first two songs on Soundclick. I have to say they sound a little fuller when played in Sonar, but I guess that's because of the low bitrate soundclick uses. I don't have any decent monitors, these sound ok (to me, at least) on my hifi speakers, but I'm...

Hi guys, I've got the following situation: There's a (small, local) advertisement agency that may be interested in using some of my music as background for internet commercials. However, I'm a complete noob as far as legal and financial issues are concerned. Here are some questions. Any info...

Hey guys, After having browsed this forum for a little while now I'm proud to present to you... my very first attempt at recording a song. Lemme know what you think. I can definately use some help in the mixing department though. I've tried a lot of the things that are mentioned here, but I...

Hi guys, I'm just starting out. I was wondering what's the best way to create a good drumtrack besides recording an actual drumset. Is there a plug-in for sonar 3 that sounds better than the horrible MIDI drums? If so, how does this work? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks, Joepie

Hi all, Another newbie trying to get his problem solved. I've just started fiddling around with Sonar 3 on my new PC (amd athlon 2500 with standard 5.1 sound card) and when I try to record a guitar track it's out of sync with my MIDI drum track. There's a lot of talk about "latency" on this...

Hi, this is my first post, so bear with me... I've got this odd problem with recording through my mic and PC. It's a pretty old system (450mhz with ensonic soundscape card, appr 6 years old) and I'm using this relatively cheap AudioTechnica microphone. When I'm recording a WAV I get this...
