Hi All - I want to thank all the people that helped me get my home studio started. Why? Well, because my very first song that I completed from beginning to end by myself (writing, arranging, composing, singing and recording) has been nominated for two New Mexico Music Awards! My original...

Hello my critic friends. Here is my new original called "Ordinary". Please feel free to give it a listen and provide feedback as you deem necessary. Bare in mind that this is for demo and myspace posting only and I don't feel it necessary to make this commercial/radio ready (Why? Cuz I just...

Hi - I had posted a thread concerning the low volume of a song I recorded through garageband. I tried the suggestions listed in the thread, but nothing seemed to change the outcome of the volume. Someone else told me that there is software I can download to put my master track into that will...

Hi - I'm recording a song that consists of loops that I've manipulated and vocals. All the individual track levels are on the mid to quieter side, because if I turn them up, Garageband tells me it's maxed (red dots light up). The master volume is 3/4 up to max volume when I play it back...

Is it typical to have specific instruments that you pan to the right or left? I've just been recording keys and voxs and doing both through mono and keeping both in the middle. I'm working on a new song with drums, congas, keys and vox, and I'm going to have a few layers of vocal harmonies in...

Hi - I would appreciate some feedback on this original ballad. Before everyone tears into me about the terrible keyboarding, weird sound and bad musicality, please take note that I am not an instrumentalist and am brand new at the engineering side of recording. I wrote this song a long time ago...

Hi All - I've taken many of your's advice and am trying to upload a draft of an original song. I went to lightningmp3.com, uploaded the song and received an e-mail with the link. What I can't figure out is how to attach it to a post. Not good at this stuff!!! Thanks! Jen

Hi All - I'm new at recording and have completed some songs on my new home studio. I'm using a mac notebook with garagaband. I recorded through my EV757 mic and Alesis QS7 keyboard into a presonus firebox. If anyone is interested in critiquing my recordings, I'd surely appreciate it. There seems...

Hi - I've been using my presonus firebox for a couple of weeks, including earlier today. I didn't run anything weird through it, except for maybe my karaoke machine, which seemed to work fine. I moved some equipment around today for better functionality. I haven't used the firebox since I...

Hi - I have a small home studio set up and have been recording keys and vocals and some guitar. I have a karaoke machine that we use for parties, etc and about 1000 karaoke discs as well. If I were to take a karaoke song and run it through my firebox and into garageband as a track, and then...
