    Which version of ableton to buy (boxed or dl)

    Other than the cost of shipping, why is the boxed version more? Does it mean that if you get the dl you can only use it on that one comp, but if you get the boxed version you can install it on other computers?

    How do you get that Queen/Bowie-esque vocal chorus sound?

    I've tried using the basic chorus effects in adobe audition as well as chorus pedals and am slowly realizing I'm not going to get anywhere close until I get some serious plug-in help. Problem is, it's a very distinct sound I want and I'm really not sure which plug-in's going to have it; it's...

    pretty girl with a pretty voice

    Yeah, I dig the lo-fi-ness of that lil' intro, but it needs more lo-fi touches. Like record some lo-fi hiss or fuzz from short wave radio and mix it in there. it's also pretty easy to just make click and pop's, and then just dist. or filter into an older, worn sound. I agree w/ you about the 4...

    Man I hope this isn't considered screamo...

    yipes, sounds like some scary combination of screamo and southern rock; sound quality, meh, sounds decent, it needs some kick, some powa', though.

    junkmanistan, acutally your kinda off with that idea. I actually came here completely oblivious as to the musicial background of the regulars here. some one told me to post this here from another board, so I did, that was the only reason for my post. You jumped the gun on me, I only noticed the...

    rokket, I apologize if I offened you too. From one musician to another I think you know why I was slightly pissed to have some one tell me what I was doing wasn't even music. . This is my first digital recording ever, and this is a streamed MP3, and I admit it is red-lining at points and your...

    turn it down, you do realize that if a songs 5 and a half minutes long, then to accurately judge it you should hear the song from beginning to end. the 'climax doesn't even happen til minute 4, so you kind just read a short story and stopped at the last sentence, even though the whole point of...

    yay, thanks, i'm pretty new to this site and rokket was giving me a pretty off putting vibe, but you give me hope. Spiritualized is actually one of the artist I dug at the time of consceptualizing this, neat how you picked that up.

    Well, I'll say this. Judging by your tastes (discerned from comments of praise in regards to some of this boring hard-alterna rock kicking around here), your opinion collectively adds up to meaning nothing to me. I am actually a fine art music student, (in my junior year. NC School of the...

    Can you spare 56 seconds?

    nothing to complain about along the lines of production, other than it doesn't jump out at you too much, the drums sound kind of nerfed, and is there a bass? I can't make it out if there is. it's not my kind of music at all, too straight forward, but for your genre you're at least par for course.

    and what prey tell would you consider music? lemme hear one of your 'jump offs', please! :rolleyes: honestly people, I'm ok with critism, but not elitism. Just be 'cause it's not vocal masterbation over v/c v/c, doesn't mean it's not music. there's other kinds of music out there other than...

    any recommendation on what I need to do here?

    yeah, thats a real problem I'm running into, the mid-range instruments melding together; even on the wav. file it gets a little cluttered during some parts. I'm gonna try some of these recommendations and check back later. thanks for the input.

    um, after reading more and more of the critiques here I'm starting to figure out why no ones critiquing this. compared to most of this stuff it's unabashedly home made! What can I say, I'm broke ass, and appericiate the production of Jesus and Mary Chain just as much as Fourtet; I see people...

    A band walk into your studio.....

    you guys are pretty good, your sound has some white boy soul to it, kind of reminds me of Belle and Sebastian in there non pop moments. I'd like to hear the vocals toned down just a tad bit and maybe layer the bowed string elements.
