I've been making some wierd music lately. I'm not sure if this is too far out in left field for anyone to enjoy listening to it. Yes, that unfamiliar instrument you're hearing IS an oboe. Unfortunately, I have to make everything on headphones for now, so I'm testing the waters to see if there...

My brother sent me this file; he recorded it on an 8-track unit with a computer mic. I dumped it into acid and soundforge and played with it. Since the actual source recording is relatively lo-fi, I'm not really looking for tips on improving quality; however, your thoughts on the...

I love soundforge and acid, but I have been using cooledit pro for tracking. Stupid, I know, but I have been reluctant to learn something new. Is Vegas the answer to my dilemma? Thanks.

This track came together in about two hours from start to finish. So far I am very happy with the out-come. I want to start adding some more orchestration and detail, so I thought I'd turn to you guys for some brainstorming ideas. All it has now is bass, drums, piano, and vocal. Make sure...

Every time I post a recording in the MP3 clinic, I get comments like: "It sounds like you're recording your vocals in a locker room" I have made extensive efforts to cut down on echos, such as building a vocal booth out of PVC pipe and throwing blankets over it, but it doesnt seem to be...

can I get some criticism about: 1. Vocal recording 2. Vocal performance 3. general production advice/criticism Thanks http://www.nowhereradio.com/artists/album.php?aid=1582&alid=-1

This song has been spinning 5-7 times a day on our local radio station. It even made it on the hot nine at nine--the nine most requested songs of the day (it only hit number nine...but STILL). Normally I would have never given anything to a radio station without posting it here first, but...

I dont have the luxury of a permanent vocal booth, so I want to engineer something I can throw up and down quick. Has anyone had any success with anything like this?

I'm having trouble getting my vocal mix to sound the way I want it to. I was hoping you guys could help me trouble-shoot my sound. If you have time, let me know: 1. Does it sound as bad as i think it does? 2. Is there a specific weak point I can fix without re-recording everything? 3. Do I...

I just finished recording the vocals. I threw a REAL quick mix together, but I wanted you guys to hear it. I would love to hear about anything you are hearing in the mix. web page: http://www.soundclick.com/bands/cloudchamber_music.htm direct link...

I just uploaded this. Its a track for a r&b vocal group with three male vocalists. This track is going to be heard by a LOT of people so I wanted to run it by you guys to see if I should make any changes. Thanks http://www.soundclick.com/util/streamM3U.m3u?ID=58457&q=Hi

Okay, I hope no one minds me taking the initiative here, but I'm just going to put this out here and hope everyone is cool with it. In the last battle of the beats thread, I suggested these rules: 1. We'll set up a thread where everyone who wants to compete can show their interest. 2. Next...

I ran into a rep for a northwest label yesterday who says she pays $500 to $1000 for a beat. Should I go for this, or would I be stupid to let my best beats go for a few hundred dollars? If I wanted to keep the copyright or negotiate a royalty based payment, how would I do it?

What sets a dedicated hardware sampler away from software samplers such as fruity loops? I use a software program (that you probably havent heard of, but it works great for me) and I think my beats sound pretty hot. After all, its the quality of the samples you use that determine the sound...

first a little background: A rapper approached me and asked me if he could use my beats for a show he was doing at a club. I said fine, but it would cost him a few bucks. One of the things we decided to do was make a CD single with two of the songs that he was performing at the show. So...

I am way excited about this track...BUT, before I get too pumped, I want to hear what this board has to say. Any suggestions on the mix--I know its not perfect, but my ears are shot from hearing it too many times!! I should warn you there are cuss words in the song. Dont listen if you think...

Are you in it for the love or the money?

testing

This song is supposed to be a stirring and passionate love song. The mix is good, but not perfect, so I want some other opinions. If its possible, I would love to hear some feedback on the tone of the song, as well as technical pointers. My main questions are: 1. How is the vocal quality...
