Maybe a few of you remember this. I retracked the slide guitars at the end and the vocals to cut down on the reverb a bit. I think this came out better all around. Thanks for the helpful suggestions. Dream http://www.nowhereradio.com/artists/album.php?aid=2716&alid=-1

This is a change of pace and a darker tune I wrote this week. I kept the arrangement simple because I couldn't think of anything to add. Let me know if you like it like this or suggest some adornments. Called "In the past" http://www.nowhereradio.com/artists/album.php?aid=2716&alid=-1

Holy smokes theres a lot of angst in this forum! I keep posting these cheerful ditties and I feel like I'm completely out of touch with what everyone is listening to. Well I just have a couple more happy ones to flush out of my system and then we get to some darker stuff which I've been...

I redid the vocals and ending guitar solo and remixed the whole thing so I'd appreciate a fresh listen, or a first listen as the case may be. The vocals are tough on this one and I'm still not convinced I have it nailed. The ending guitar was inspired though, so thats a keeper I think. Its...

This is an old song of mine but a new recording and I kind of like how it came out. Let me know if my usual problems of muddiness, etc still exist. Hope you like it. http://www.nowhereradio.com/artists/album.php?aid=2716&alid=-1 Called Foot on the floor

I posted this several months back and got some feedback to boost up the lead guitars and bring the vocals up. I tried my best. How does this sound? Shadow of a doubt http://www.nowhereradio.com/artists/album.php?aid=2716&alid=-1

If I pick up a Mackie VLZ mixer would I be losing something by not going with a quality standalone mic pre or are the preamps in the Mackie of good enough quality.

I have a midrangy voice that, when picked up by my Behringer B-2, occasionally sounds harsh at high volumes. I'm sure the mic has something to do with it but I wonder if my recording conditions have an impact. I am recording in a relatively small room with hardwood floors and exposed walls and...

Anybody have experience with the Behringer mixers? They are pretty cheap and I only need it occasionally.

I have some questions about this one. Primarily I'm concerned with the slide solo in the end. It's a bit messy but, on the other hand, seems to fit the edgy nature of the lyrics. Opinions on ambience, eq, also very welcome. Its called: Dream...

I have read some nice things about this mic on this forum and was shocked to see a street price of only a hundred bucks. What gives? I have a Behringer B-2 and while it sounds OK I am looking for a vocal mic that is not quite so harsh. I have a voice that comes across harsh in the midrange at...

I've had trouble with the heavier tunes but I'm somewhat satisfied with this. I'd like to hear what I got wrong though because I'm sure there's plenty Kind http://www.nowhereradio.com/artists/album.php?aid=2716&alid=-1

I work with numbers by trade so this popped out at me and I thought it was interesting. Has anyone noticed that the ratio of responses to views is VERY consistently around 10-15%? I wonder why that is? Are there a number of people lurking about who don't post? Or is it that only 1 in 10 posts...

Pedullist recommended I change the rhythm and feel to this tune to give a little more soul. I liked his idea so here it is http://www.nowhereradio.com/artists/album.php?aid=2716&alid=-1 Empty Spaces

Are there different types of MP3 formats you can convert to? The files I post all have small file sizes when I compare them to files I see posted of similar time lengths. I am beginning to feel inadequate.
