Sounds great. Well played and sung. (y)

It does but believe me, when speakers are spread quite wide, it sounds awful. Nearfield, e.g. mixing, is easier to discern the stereo but it still sounds very off. Wide panning is incredibly difficult to work with. Headphones, forget it! It was listening via headphones as a 5 year old with my...

I mix in Mono because I'm deaf in one ear. I have no idea what real understanding of what Stereo sound is. I can understand kind of how it works but have literally never heard it. Sometimes I'll pan guitars, vocals, percussion, etc, a little but I'll be spinning in my seat, pointing my ear from...

I don't use a console but I do use a controller. I have it set up so the pan controls, at a push of a button, control eq and comp parameters of fx that are automatically placed into a new track (also at a push of a button) in Reaper. I like to work the old analog way in the digital realm. The...

Super cool song. Sounds like something akin to what The Barenaked Ladies would have done back in the day. I listened to the first and second mix. Second mix was better for me. Everything seemed nice and clear.

It's been an absolute age since I last posted a recording here! I still stick my head in every now and then and have a listen through some of the music coming through this forum. Nice to see some familiar names still floating around in the comments. Anyway, this is my latest recording...

Right Click on the Transport and check Dock Transport In Main Window. :thumbs up:

I really like the song, that part is nailed and sounds great. Personally, all the strings are too loud though for me. I'd keep the mix of them as they sound good as blend. Send them all to a Bus and reduce the volume of them collectively and work from there. Some may need a little tweak but as...

I use an old Tascam US2400 with Reaper and you can pick these up quite cheap now. Perfect for my set up. I have track templates set so at the push of a button I can add a new track with EQ and Compressor all controlled by the Tascam. 24 Moving faders with bank shifting in groups of 8 are great...

Here's an older one from before I was as confident as I am now on the drums. I played all the parts, in separate parts, and had to edit some bits as my timing was not so good with being a crappy drummer. I guess the best thing about programmable drums, for the home record-ist who can't play so...

That was what I was going to suggest. Hearing drums solo'd and in the context of the mix would be useful. Here's an example of some drums I've done recently. I'm playing an Roland E-Kit (although I'm not a very good drummer yet!) triggering the EZDrummer2 main kit that I've tweaked a bit here...

It's been a while but I thought I'd drop this one here. Continuing recording my old mate Tim and bringing his songs to life. This is a fun little song, my favourite of all of his. Planning on this being the last track of his "mini album type thing" that we're working on. As usual, I started...

The reason I say try it is because I can play any mp4 video file on my PC (Win7 x64) as I can any other normal video, avi, whatever but when I add an mp4 to Reaper, it opens up an ffdshow instance in the taskbar which is not usually there. It also opens an instance of Haali Media Splitter which...

You're not alone. I like a nice looking guitar but it's not the be all and end all. Sound and playability comes first and foremost for me. I couldn't give a toss for the grain of the wood though. I have 2 very nice sounding acoustics. They play well and record great. Colour wise, I don't like...
