Hey! I recently did a recording session, where it was rather hasty and we realized later we probably should have done a close-mic on the hihat for the song. Would it be crazy to simply overdub a close miked hihat? There's some parts where the hihat is really closed but some washier parts also...

Hey guys! I was hoping someone might be able to help me with an exs24 issues or bug. I have a lot of samples set up as Round Robin groups so that they cycle through three different snare hits. (as per this thread Logic Pro Help ? View topic - EXS24 Alternate Sample-Round Robin Discussion)...

thanks thanks! I can't believe how off I was on the notes I was trying to hit. I really have a hard time being objective when It's my own voice. This gives me a good place to start working on this again.

sweet. Are you going to get someone to sing on top of this? Sounds like Al Green.

thanks! Thanks so much. I thought I was landing on a g#. I see now it goes roughly F#, A, F#, G Any guess on what the notes on the chorus are? This thing is really throwing me. I don't usually have problems this bad but I can't figure out what notes I'm trying to hit. My best guess is F#, G...

Thanks for replying, but what I'm still confused as to what key the vocal melody is in. I know that the cord changes are in the key of Bm for the first, and F#m in the second, but what about the melody? Also it is the same vocal take, do you mean that you prefer the melody against the Bm cords...

Hi guys. Could somebody please help what key this vocal melody is in? I think it is being sung in the key of F#m. When it goes up in the chorus, it lands on the B. The problem is I think the key of the song with the guitar changes is actually Bm. I think I am singing a disguised harmony. But...

Thanks! I managed to shorten it correctly using Logics' Edit>Add silence and Edit>Snip Between Locators options. I was paranoid it would mess up the automation but everything seems fine. I get very OCD at the end of a long mix. Thanks again!

Hey This is probably a real boneheaded question but Can I shorten a song in Logic after its been mastered, to get the intro silence and end just right? As long as the output is set to .wav, 16 bit and normalize is set to off, will the resulting audio file be completely unaffected sonically...

This is sweet. That is all. Have you listened to La Luz? They do like 60s throwback surf with a lot of vintage organ.

Wow this is garageband? Just posting to say it sounds great to me. I love that limited way of working.

Hey. I like it. I like the vocal delivery. I agree they should be "louder", or at least more discernable. I have a feeling this will be a lot of cutting frequencies from other instruments. The song sounds a little harsh on my monitors. Also, using a reverb for a 'room' send might help a lot...

Thanks guys! Yes, that bass is definitely too loud at the end. The sort of off kilter beginning is more or less intentional. I hadn't heard Krafty before, I haven't paid any attention to New Orders later stuff, but that is a pretty good one. Makes me think of Pains of Being Pure at Heart for...

Hey guys. I have another New Order style song with a first mix on it. I'd appreciate feedback before I totally finish it with automation and everything. I think the vocals may be a tad too loud? Anyway, I'd appreciate any thoughts: https://soundcloud.com/thestammer/firstembrace-001/s-UmOLb...

Thanks! I addressed most of this stuff in the final mix. I will focus on making a brighter snare next time, does that usually mean EQing away some of the lower mids? I used a slight overdrive send on this one with a high setting to add some higher harmonics but I guess it wasn't enough. What...
