And "Two of us."

I've whistled on a few of my songs. They came out really well. My mouth got a bit dry on occasion, though.

Ok, here is one kerrrrr-AYY-zeeeee story ! :geek:

I know what you mean. Although I did some recording in July and August {including a friend of mine on vocals while I was in Minnesota in August}, it's only this month that I've gotten back into it and am now on a roll.

Just reading that, it sounds like great fun.

That's an interesting question. I don't mix loud. I read years ago from Harvey Gerst and others that one way around having an untreated room impinge on what you hear was to mix at low volumes. I also remember Gekko zzed many years ago sharing that things like furniture and bookshelves could make...

That's what I was thinking as I read. A mic. Oh, and learn to play sharps and flats on that tin whistle, even if only for when you record your sample. You want a confident, smooth-toned recording. It does, and I trust you will have lots of it, even where there are frustrating or challenging...

Always beware of opinions being so elevated that they completely crowds out those that have their own reasons for having a different one. It's something I notice a lot {and have done for years} in people who champion modern technology. One of the great complaints that DIY-ers have with the way a...

I clearly have cloth ears because for me, that has just never been a 'thing'. For me, an acoustic guitar sounds like......an acoustic guitar.

I've played in the past with a couple of guys who were so loud, I could never hear what I was playing and literally went by feel. They were some of my best playing and recording ! But I hated it while we were actually doing it. For years now, I don't bother to have the drums in the phones because

Sometimes, if I'm doing a string section, I'll record each instrument individually. Yes, it's tiresome. Yes, it can take ages. But so does a drive to Scotland from England yet when you get there, the joy of the time you'll spend in Scotland far outweighs the drudgery of the lengthy drive. In the...

Hey ! I remember you well. You were one of the major contributors when I landed here in 2009. Always enjoyed your contribution and if I remember rightly, you had a guitar with 7 strings. Or maybe I imagined it. I know someone played a 7-string guitar.

Aston Barrett from Bob Marley's band had 41 kids......IVF was not involved !

You get what you pay for.

Tell that to Lemmy, Paul McCartney, Sting, Bill Wyman, Gene Simmons, Glen Cornick, Tom Hamilton, Noel Redding, John Entwistle, Phil Lynott...... It's not even a myth anymore ! :sneaky:
