I am getting ready to hook up my Firepod when I get a Firewire card that will work on my Computer (XP Pro). I want to use my CEP because I'm fast with it and like it the best out of all my other recording software i.e. Sonar, Reaper, Cubase etc. My question is will CEP 2.0 record 8 tracks at...

Hi guys, Its been a while since I have recorded some tunes but I just got laid off from the mighty Hewlett Packard and am back to doing some tunes. I think I haven't forgot too much over the last few years of not recording. My newest tune is Desert Hiway. Its different than I would normally do...

Im using sample drum loops in acid now and they sound so much better than my DR-670....... This is my first song using drum loops. I just threw together the song so I just want to know what ya think of the drum sounds. Its also been awhile since I've done some heavy rock stuff. Run Away...

This is my latest song. I wrote it on my new Keys. Its a progressive pop rock tune I would guess. I did a lot of new things in the recording process as well as playing keys on this one. Go ahead and tear it up. This is my first mix... Its called "On the edge"...

This is an old song from a year ago and I experimented on it with my Multiband compressor in Wavelab. I also added some extra gtr to it. Is this compression overkill? I need some input on how this sounds overall. Im really trying to better myself at mastering. Thanks in advance...

This is first song Ive done in 9 months. I guess it would be considered pop metal.... I cant hear very well so I cant mix anymore. Im sure theres flaws all over it. Check it out and tear it apart. "Prezence in the wind" http://www.nowhereradio.com/artists/album.php?aid=1929&alid=-1 Myx

Ive been away for a while. My wife just went on another manic, so now I have time to do some music again.... I wrote this song for a special lady. Yeah, Im trying to move on.... I lost my tracks on this song and wanted to redo the vocals. All I had was the mixdown and doctored it up the best...

I recently joined a new band and the bass player doesnt understand drop D. He started tuning all his strings down a step instead of just dropping the E down to D. He has never played any drop D stuff and thats hard for me to believe..... The dude mostly plays old metal. I was a shred metal...

I havent been doing much with songs lately, so I just programmed a drum track and started playing over it. I just played how I felt, so thats why I call it "How I felt that day". A few friends say it sounds like a Satriani type of song, but Im not of that caliber and didnt listen to much of his...

I used some stock drum programs on my DR -670 cause it can take 2-4 hours otherwise. Hope that aint cheatin. and just played some chords then bass and then some fake jazz soloing . No vocals... This took me about the full 1.5... All first takes. Im afraid to carefully listen to it, so be my...

Well I've been away for a while. Getting back with my Bipolar wife has taken a lot of my time up. I have a couple of tunes I've recently did that turned out good and show a dramatic improvement on my vocals. I've been experimenting a lot with my mixes lately and havent done many new songs. I got...

I recently did a song for fun that is a lot like how I used to write songs in the 80's.... Its been a while since Ive written a new song. I've been real caught up in the mixing and mixing and remixing thang... The song is like a Styx/Rush/Judas Preist kinda thing. I tried to make the solos...

I have an older song "Beware" Im now ready to work on. Its posted at IUMA and I need to know what needs to be done. I know the vocals need a lot of work, but besides that Im getting ready to redo the vocals and want to know what else needs to be done. So bust my balls and motivate me please...

This is a soft rock song I did for my wayward wife. No distorted guitars, Acoustic rhythm, and as dry as I felt comfortable with vocals. Mostly chorus/doubling and just a touch or verb.OK..... So I need to know if this vocal mix sounds good, cause Im going to use this as a reference to redo...
