Hello, Could you guys talk about the vocal techniques of the following singers? Each has their own style of singing, (from nasal to high clear notes). And I was curious if there was a "method" or "style" they are using to get their sound. Sorry, I don't know the names of most of the singers in...

Lately when I sing, I warm up for a while, and then my range is good for about an hour, then things start to get rough. Hard to reach the high notes, etc. Is there any special liquid I should be sipping to coat my throat between songs? Any ideas, tips would be appreciated. Thanks.

1) I'm jammin in a cover band, we will be playing 40 songs a night. My fingers sometimes become "numb" and stiff. Any tips to avoid this from happening? 2) Trying to improve my bass drum skills. I find myself playing with the top part of the foot or toe, and not the whole foot. Is this good or...

Spent the afternoon looking at mastering tools. This Ozone product seems too good to be true. For only a small amount of money you (according to the documentation) can produce professional quality mixes. My question is this, is this thing for real? Their online mastering guide really made the...

Hello, In a nut shell, I need a good sound card that offers SPDIF in and 2 analog outs for monitoring. No midi needed on the sound card. Already have that covered. I found the M-Audio DiO 2448 here: http://www.musiciansfriend.com/srs7/sid=020611224810209048244034406121/search/g=rec?q=dio+2448...

This mixer looks sweet for the price. Problem is my sound card doesn't have spdif inputs, just the regular 1/4 in analog. Does the m12 have l/r main analog outs? I know it has the monitor left and right outs, woud I use the monitor l/r to plug into the sound card? (If you respond...) Thanks for...

Hi, I'm overweight, but have an excellent rock voice. Yah, I'm working out and losing the weight, but since I've released some demos locally I'm generating a buzz around town. I've been invited to play at some local clubs. Problem is, my stage presence is not too hot. I'm kinda shy due to my...

Hello, Currently I only have a small berhinger mixer, but I need to upgrade to something better. 1) 12 ( or 16) STEREO channel inputs is a must. 2) On board effects (reverb, chorus, etc, would be nice.) 3) Analog 4) Mic inputs / Phantom power is NOT needed. 4) My budget is around $800.00 -...

I need to purchase a new mixer, soon! Please provide any recommendations. Price wise, I'm trying to keep it under $1000.00 if possible. Analog Mixer: 12-16 STEREO channels. (yes stereo, not 24-32 mono channels) Eq, and effects on board would be nice. Right now I'm leaning towards a Behringer...

What sound module or sample is the best sound for use in a rock song? Bon Jovi, Journey type sound. Thanks..

Here's how I write lyrics: 1) Write a short story about the song, no structure or ryhmes at this point. Just a story, from start to finish. 2) Generate a list of key phrases, key words, from your story. 3) Finally start to think about it as a song. At this point I usually have enough...
