Can someone please explain the reputation points? Are they that important? Can I trade my points in for $$$$? :laughings:

Here's a new one I'm working on. It will have a fairly upbeat tempo, and the typical acoustic borderline-country vibe that a lot of my stuff has (??? don't know exactly how you all would classify my music??....uuuugh, I don't want to be country! But "ah guess ah cain't hep it" :laughings:)...

This is just me being silly. I don't have any headphones yet, so I couldn't do the tracks separately. I just used one mic and my guitar plugged into the bose tonematch thing...but it's a start at least. There are so many effects buttons to play with in the reaper program and I have no idea...

I don't know what I'm doing wrong...trying to get a video from youtube to show up in the post. Just seeing if I got it right this time. The video is https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s0WDTtIeSAI So I put the s0WDTtIeSAI inbetween the youtube brackets...

OK...one more post this morning before I tackle my paperwork! I had told my friend I wanted this song to have an "uncomfortable" feel to it. Sometimes I like it, but most of the time I don't. I think my harmony comes in too loud and is off. What do you guys think...

I can name that tune in 5 notes.... I love this game!!! Abba...Take A Chance may not be perfect, but that's the first thing that popped into my head :laughings::laughings::laughings: all right...I give up on the whole youtube posting thing https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-UvtOQnPE5c

Here's another song I did with my daughter (just a fun little man-hatin' song :p :D) ....it was our very first time being recorded (a friend of mine brought his equipment to her apartment and set up in her living room). Does anyone want to try adding bass or drums? I don't know if that's even...

this is my daughter and me...there are parts of this where I was really happy with the sound, and then a few parts that make my eye twitch, hahaha. If you have a chance, could you please make a notation where it sounds off to you (like the number thing. For example I think the vocals are "off"...

I'm feeling kind of overwhelmed with all the info I've been trying to gather! I'm wondering if anyone can tell me what pieces of equipment I still need to get in order to try recording at home. Here's what I have: guitar: taylor acoustic with a pickup :D mic #1: EV N/D 767a vocal microphone...

My dad asked me to write a song that would incorporate my grandparent's names (not a simple request as they have some wild names like "Homer Columbus" and "Mildred Alice") AND have the song express their religious faith AND include my spiritual beliefs. Organized religion is a bit of a sore...

but I am learning a bunch of stuff! So far I'm getting my brain around the difference b/t delay and reverb, played with the EQ slide/buttons, downloaded reaper & LAME-something or other, butchered one of my songs (sampled here :laughings:), and consequently have managed to provoke only a minor...

I see there are 5 choices on the reaper website to test out this program. Does it matter which one of these I pick? I have a 2yr old dell computer with vista. these are the choices: REAPER 3.71 - September 28, 2010 Download: Windows (4.9MB installer) Windows x64 (5.4MB installer) OS X...

ok, here's another version of the "Hero" song (and I realize it's not the kind of thing most of you guys are into, lol....but I would still appreciate your opinions since I'm so new at this.) This version was done by the same friend who did the "Finally" song, but here he used a lot of reverb...

Hello....I am wondering if anyone has a few spare moments to offer me some feedback/guidance. I have just started the "recording journey" (ha!) and while I do like some parts of what has been recorded, there's still quite a bit of room for improvement. I have two songs on soundclick. They...
