    Joe Pernice Vocal Technique

    Joe Pernice isn't really mainstream, but I though I'd post to see if anyone knew how he achieves his vocal sound on a song like "Baby in Two".

    Trumpet Player Needed

    No "proper" forum for asking for music assistance, but this seems the closest.. Looking for a trumpet player who can assist with a short solo of about 20 seconds. I've got the part, notes, etc. and can supply an MP3 of the part done on a keyboard. Anyone game? Lots of guitarists and drummers...

    Voice Lessons? Anyone Ever Take?

    I'm happy with my singing abilities, but wondering if some structured voice lessons would be interesting and further improve my craft. Anyone ever take formal voice lessons?

    Taylor Swift

    A number of her tunes came up while I was listening to Pandora. The songwriting is excellent. Super catchy and the lyrics are great. Anyone know if she writes her own stuff, or if it is written by some Nashville songwriter guru?

    Please Critique - Quirky Pop Tune

    Re-record of an old song. First go didn’t really do it justice, and wasn’t how I heard it in my head. Another home mastering job here. The final version will be going to John at Massive Mastering when the rest of the CD is complete. A highly quirky pop gem about being infatuated with a girl...

    Reduce Track Volume or Reduce Master Volume?

    So while mixing, I typically start with the drums, bring in the bass, and everything else one at a time. The individual track volumes can get really loud and while the DAW shows the track is clipping, there's no audible distortion. When the mix is complete, I reduce the master volume to an...

    Research on hit songs beats per minute

    At some point there was some study that pinpointed what the most popular songs of the last 30 years were, and a consistent beats per minute was discussed. Apparently that BPM syncs and/or grooves with the human body to some degree and it just "feels" comfortable. Anyone remember this and/or...
