Was that at Steve's Music? God I bought my first guitar, a used custom Les Paul there in 76 or 77 for $450 ... CHOM CHOM CHOM ...

I know this is necroposting, but I finally found a way to resurrect Tweakheadz.com via the wayback machine. If you go to this URL at wayback, you'll see some stickies at the top of the On Writing Lyrics subforum written by a fellow named Dugz Ink. He did some excellent work on teaching users how...

This is a great song! If it weren't for the drums I'd say there was a Floyd influence. I'm not fond of the quick changes in pan on the strat, but that's a personal opinion. There are times like @ 1:30 where the guitar loses the battle against the drums. Great playing and that's a super sound...

Here's how you do it: On the menu, click Algorithm. Sometimes you can change it right there, sometimes it's greyed out. If so, click on Default and change it to the one you want. Sometimes it does this immediately and informs you it's rescanning. When it doesn't, close the Melodyne window and...

Thanks for listening everyone. I've tried a mix with verb on the vocals, I'm note sure that I like it as much as the dry ones. I've done some other processing with the effects and overall eq. So I've posted the updated mix on the original link if anyone is still interested. Thanks for your...

Thanks, CMolena, I'm not looking to be stroked here, I know I'm not the greatest musician but I want to learn how to put a good mix of my stuff out there. For some reason I seem to challenge myself with mixes that are beyond my ability to mix, if you know what I mean. Every response helps...

Thanks ajsajs, I'm giving it a little bit of love at the moment, still trying to work with the pad. Timbo

Thanks for the listens and advice. Spent a few hours on the mix over the past week, looking at the vocals and synth guitar, then the drums were wrong, then the leads were wrong and I think I've ended up with a clearer mix. I didn't want to take that synth guitar any further back in volume, so...

Thanks, I've been working on a re-mix to address your very concern. Appreciate the listen! Timbo

Hi all, I'd appreciate your ears on this mix. It's a song that started with the idea of "what if a caveman had a cell phone". It grew to become a bleak comparison of Neandertal life with that of today where I attempt to show that we have lost the magic that our ancestors felt and even with...

I used to have a 144 years ago before my Komplete Audio 6, got rid of it because the drivers were slow and the device couldn't handle a DAW.

There was a saying that the guys used over at Tweakz site: You can't polish a turd.

I'm getting ready to mix a new self-recorded album of about 20 songs. I'm a hobbyist like many here. I'd like to hear how the folks who record/produce rock music EQ their drum tracks - not necessarily the "making each individual drum track" (i.e. snare, kick, overheads etc) sound great, but how...

Hi all, Maybe this is a dumb question but say you have a song that is connected to the next song on the album by wind where the first song fades to wind and the second song fades in. When a mastering engineer is sent something like this, do they master the pair of songs as one? or do they...

Sorry, I've been lurking not posting much. Fractured a rib a few weeks back, but that's no excuse! Here's a new one. I've tried to apply the tips of everyone over the past few songs and "think" I've put out the best version of this song that I can. Please comment, both good and bad. Thanks...
