    Logic Pro X - Updating Imported WAV Files

    I have a question that I've scoured all resources for, but cannot get an answer to. I finally caved in and bought a MacBook Pro a few months ago, after more than a decade of recording and mixing using an 8-track and different versions of Acid Pro. Basically, Acid Pro has a great (and hopefully...

    "Your Move" by Yes

    Thank you! I've thought about trying some Emerson, Lake, and Palmer, but my piano skills are lacking. Thanks for listening.

    "Your Move" by Yes

    Ack.....forgot to encode the spaces in the URL. That may explain why I've had no responses. :) Sorry about that!

    "Your Move" by Yes

    I completed a new cover song over the weekend, and was hoping to get some feedback. You can listen to it at http://www.barr26.com/music/mp3/your%20move.mp3. I used a 12-string Fender, 6-string Odessa, and a Gibson Custom ES-339, along with a cheap Casio keyboard. I also created a YouTube...

    looking for some reviews

    The music is played well, for sure. The one thing that really stands out is the background noise. I use CoolEdit to remove line noise and Sony Acid 7.0 for final mixes, so I'm not sure what Audacity offers there, but you should really look into that. It sounds like it's being played on a very...

    New song, Untitled, No Vocals

    This is really good. About as professional sounding as you can get, really. I'm also a non-singer most of the time, so I don't mind listening to instrumentals at all. The drums are particularly good.

    New song and video - multiple views

    The bass didn't come out as sharp as I had hoped. I do have some drums towards the middle, but I don't have any to play, so I use some old-ish software to create all my beats. I wanted to keep them minimal for this one. But thanks for the feedback!

    New song and video - multiple views

    Thank you! I was aware that the song itself didn't offer a whole lot past the first verse, so I was kind of relying on the video to help it a bit. Usually, I take a bit more care into developing songs, but sometimes it's fun to just be spontaneous and get it done quickly.

    New song and video - multiple views

    Yesterday, I wrote and recorded this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HQaYDs4jGZE It was kind of an impromptu recording session, but I had wanted to experiment with this kind of video for a while. I basically recorded myself playing six parts, used them as thumbnails, and alternate between...

    First Try at mixing

    The mix sounds really good, you have a nice balance to everything. It's really your first? Not bad at all. :)

    Pac-Man & The Golden Girls

    Thanks! I've been doing the sketches for a while, so I have a lot more. Pondering other musical ideas now....

    Pac-Man & The Golden Girls

    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FVADtvuYoN8 Not an original as far as songwriting, but this is a quickie I did for a recent cover album. I went into it thinking it'd be nice and simple, but some of the chords were a bit tricky (I play by ear). Here, I've combined the song with a few Pac-Man...

    Super Mario Bros

    Thanks! I appreciate it. :)

    Lovin' You Video Parody

    hehe That's kind of what I was going for.....I had just finished blasting the other version (linked to it), and my voice was wrecked. I was having fun with it though, so I wrote the "new" lyrics on the spot and just recorded on an empty track.

    Ruby Tuesday(Stones Cover)

    Just wanted to drop a note to say I liked your cover. I do agree that your vocals are getting lost a bit here and there. I think that's the toughest part of mixing, keeping all the volumes controlled, even when there are spikes in certain instruments. It's taken me several years to get a...
