Cool song. The tremolo bit on the vocals is neat and the harmonies sound nice.

I just did a bit of "mastering" in Soundforge and re-uploaded it. I don't know if it sounds any better or not.. it's louder anyway.

Why? It's not like I have a recording studio or anything. I only have a few inexpensive microphones and going direct seemed to get a decent sound so I went with it.

This wasn't recorded "live". It was pieced together an instrument at a time... The guitars and bass were all recorded direct (no mics). It is still a home recording though so I know it's not going to sound professional. Thanks for listening and for your comments, though.

Hi everybody. My name is David Toy and I used to occasionally post here. I'm in a band called Franny Glass now and we've just made a new recording called "Rita Tried" which I think is our best sounding song yet (recording quality and mix-wise, anyway). It was recorded on a Tascam 2488. We...

Okay, thanks.

I was able to connect MIDI cables to my previous PC through an adapter that went though the serial joystick port (15 pins). My new PC does not have this input, but it does have a 10 pin serial port as well as several USB ports. What sort of adaptor or cable do I need to buy? I can't seem to...

Haha, that's cool. I love that theme. Sounds pretty rockin' too. My only advice would be to somehow make the lead melody a bit "fatter" sounding, if that makes any sense. You should do the theme from Zelda next!

Great new tune, Benjie. I really dig it. My head almost exploded.

Love the Spaceballs sample. Very catchy rhythm on this song. I like the different percussion sounds you used (sounds like a glass with ice shaking in it.. heh). I don't think I'm qualified to offer any comments on the mix since I'm just a beginner myself and this is much different than...

Thanks, I am a huge fan of The Beatles (who isn't?). I've been considering investing in a good synth as soon as I can spare the cash, but I also have a fondness for the old upright sound. It's unique. Doink, I would have preferred to use an upright bass on this track, I too think it would...

Thanks for the quick reply. I think the piano sound is the best I'm gonna get out of my old out-of-tune upright, especially since I only currently own two halfway decent microphones (one of them being a dynamic) which I used to record everything. But if you know of a way to get it to sound...

Nice song, reminds me a lot of The Smiths. Everything sounds like it was recorded and mixed pretty well. The only thing that sticks out to me is the bass, which seems a little overbearing at times. It's possible that's just because of my crappy computer speakers though, so don't just take my...

But that's not saying much! It's not perfect but I think I'm getting better with my Tascam 788. http://www.soundclick.com/util/DownloadSong.cfm?ID=1142437 David

Bake it in a 350 degree oven for 20 minutes, then allow to cool before enjoying.
