I'm getting ready to record my J-30 and vocals at the same time. I've heard other guys do it and it sounds good. But then I read other places that the bleeding, I think that's the term, from vocals onto the guitar track makes for a 'not so real sound'. What ever that is. Here's my set up...

I put a new set of strings on my low down Sally. Tuned it up and play for a while. Retuned, etc,,,,,. Today I tuned it again and checked the intonation. E - minus 22 cents. A - minus 9 cents. D - Plus 5 cents. G - minus 17 cents. Before I check it I knew it was off. So, for a lack of...

I've taken the advice of several guys here, after becoming fed up with my computer, and have switched entirely to hardware. The way I'm planning on linking all this stuff together is as follows. Guitar, Mic, Drums, Keyboard, Bass, Into the, Mixer, Then into the Compressor, Then into...

A few months ago I began weeding out my collection of original songs. I had 323 songs. Now I have 36. There were several reasons why I dumped most of my songs. 1. Some were terrible. 2. I found around thirty songs that sounded alike. 3. Repitition in lyrics or melody, or structure, etc...

I ran a search for 'patch' and came up with 3172 matches. Great. One of the fantastic things about a 'huge' bbs is the archival info. I went through about two hundred and found nothing of what I was looking for. One of the pitfalls about a huge bbs is the massive extent of the results. (...

I just learnt that his box is not recognized by Sonar. Even with all the propaganda SB tosses at 'cha. I've a 2 GHz processor 512 MB ram XP home edition. Quick, gimme some ideas of what a nice, sonar/xp compatiable card would be, internal or external. I'm almost out the door with my box...

I know this has been asked but when I put in a search I didn't know what to ask. So, go ahead and beat me with one of your extra sonar tracks, I don't care. But, if you do flog me, tell me what to put in the search engine? Ok? Question: I have Win98, runs ok. No problems. Just got it back...

I bought a home entertainment system a few years ago. A collections of various brands, Tuner, CD player, Cassette player, and at the time I had no idea what a Mini-Disk player was. I was just looking at it, trying to decide what it was, and if I wanted to keep it or take it out this weekend...

I got a phone call from an old band member yesterday. Caleb Johnson. He use to write all of our original material. After all these years he's finally been approached by a label, Alligator. He was on a return trip from a tour in Japan and landed at Seatac Airport at Seattle. He called me...

I have been fiddling with this keyboard for a month or so and was ready to record something with it. I'd put my drums/bass/guitar tracks in sonar. Was going to record the keyboard too. Well, I did record it. But when I played it back it was off key. This is something I've haven't done...

First off, this is only a suggestion. I'm not trying to be the boss or make the rules. Some feed back here would be nice since I've never had too much about it except from about three or four people when I said I was gonna post a song here so the lyrics and meter could be discussed. So...

Chris Shaeffer and I have been talking about trying one with the line, 'Hanging By A Thread' so here it is. Same basic outline as Henri's LDSN threads. Any structure, any way you wish to use the line. We don't want any miss muffet songs. :D I've been as busy as a manged dog with a...

Sonar 1.3. Is there anyway to increase the marker size, vertical, in the clips area other than stronger glasses?

I've redone and rerecorded this song over again and again. Can I fix those es-sess, or what ever their called, in the vocals or do I need to rerecord it. Rip it apart, please. I have no feelings, so don't be shy. http://www.artistcollaboration.com/users/badgas/index.html

I'm working on a song. I have the music and the lyrics, but I have one problem that I've been working on for a few weeks and can't seem to find a usable solution. I'm open to any suggestions. The problem is the way the first and second verses rhyme. I'd like them to match rhymematiclly...
