My friend is letting me borrow his pretty nice bass guitar. I never thought playing bass lines that sound so "simple" could be so hard to play. My index and middle finger are sore and so it my right forearm from the extra force I have to put into the strings and try to be precise and on time...

I thought about getting an audigy 2 for a little while since they're so cheap, but then some guy recommended an M-Audio Audiophile 2496 which I can get for around $75 online, which is what I plan on getting, I don't think I'll ever go back to sound blaster after that...

Personally I'm not an expert at computer recording, but I think Sonar is a great program to record and edit sound on. The built in effects and such are rather nice and I've produced a few decent recordings (with less than optimal equiptment/mics etc) at my friend's house using Sonar 2. I found...

I agree with boosting the mids a little on guitar, asides from that I think this is an excellent recording!

awesome intro! I personally don't like the vocals, or the effect on them. Everything else is great to me.

This really isn't a song, but it's pretty strange, I made this track when thinking about people smoking. I'm thinking about using it for a strange video project. When I play this song for friends they can't stop laughing at it, I think the bass is funny...

I tend to create music when I'm inspired. If I focus on the chords too much, then I think about things too much in a technical manner instead of the harmonic part of it, which of course is what most listeners care about. I live in Florida, sometimes on a weekend I'll just fuel up my car and...

thanks a lot, that is perfect.

Howdy folks, I need a new soundcard. My existing sound card is only ASIO 1.0 and lags (SB Live!) This is what I'm looking for, any suggestions? 1. ASIO 2.0 2. Typical Line in and Audio out 3. A joystick looking midi port thing (my keyboard lags when trying to play different softsynths live, I...

I am in love with the design and detail of macintosh products. I went to the mac store the other day and fiddled with a few of the machines with Garage Band. The Mac Mini was very slow at loading like a 5 instrument track took about 60 seconds or so or something really long. The better...

I'm on the side of the people who really don't care about pirated software that much, same with trading mp3's. to be honest, pirated software and illegal mp3's has made me spend more money than I would if neither existed. If I never downloaded mp3's back in 1999, I would probably be listening to...

This is random, but is Groove Agent by steinberg worthy of anything for realistic sounding drums? I agree with the concept that there is no way to emulate a real drummer, but someday we can come close :0)

I suppose I'll go the cubase route now and later on in the future once I start making better money/afford better hardware (after music improves) then I'll probably switch to ProTools. I'm looking at the Cubase SL3 and SE, SE is only $99. Like for the $200 less I can buy myself a decent bass...

Hmmm I'm thinking about Cubase SL3 now. It's basically Cubase SX3 with a bunch of features I don't need.

That's interesting, like when I play the drums I sometimes like to play the hi-hat with my left hand and with time it's better that way. I don't have a clue which hand to use for what I guess since I rythm with my right hand strumming too.

Thanks guys, I think I'll go with that cheap bass, I like the blue color it goes with my music project's color scheme, and I'll only get it if there's a solid return policy of which I'll research more. I think I'll linger around some random pawn shops in the days before I get paid to see if...

I really appreciate all the feedback so far, this is an excellent forum for advice. I've done a bit of research on this stuff. ProTools definately is the "top" of audio recording but I don't think I should really worry about compatability with studios, as well I plan on doing all the mixing...

SB Live should do a lot better than an AC97. Just listening to Audio on AC97 is bad to me.

I would definately go with one with USB. I haven't tried USB yet, but I'm sure the latency is much better than through a sound card. I get like 27ms of latency when I use my RS-50 through midi cables going into my sound blaster live (only asio 1.0). USB has to be much closer to realtime than that.

I'm a lefty and personally I think I like playing guitar "right handed" because my left hand is the most detailed of the both. I draw with my left hand and anything intricate or needs precision I'll use my left, well except for the trackball on my computer (right). So therefore I enjoy using my...
