    Do You Sing in the Workplace?

    I have a job presently where I am surrounded by primary students who don't mind singing and laughing and silliness. A particular woman I work with tends to sing when she talks. Kind of like Mary Poppins. Especially when she sings 'Good morning' to you. I wonder, as singers, are you comfortable...

    Musically, what continues verse into chorus

    Conventionally: Does the bass line stay the same, or does it play more notes when it goes into chorus? What if the bass melody does stay the same. What if it changes - how does it change - does it pick up a fifth or an extra note? Does it have to change the basic melody and rythym that it has...

    Just a new one

    Nobody's posted a new song for a week or so, so although not completely happy with it, will throw it on here. Baby's Gone: http://www.lightningmp3.com/live/file.php?id=18738 Have been trying to get 'space' as was recommended. Also, giving a little hip hoppy feel.

    Remove Commas in Titles for LightningMp3.com Upload

    Recently I uploaded a song with LightningMp3.com and it didn't work, but removed the comma from the title (possibly have to remove hyphens, too?) and it worked. The comma adds a / in the title and in the url.

    Can't Find Home

    Hi Everyone, [NOTE: The more I listen this the more I hate it. Have really stuffed up the mix.] Thinking about vocal again. Some quite high (possibly strained?) parts. Also thinking about verse pre-chorus shifting to chorus. This one changes key (possibly not a good thing) so am wondering of...

    Something I did (comments/thoughts apprec.)

    Hi, this is the first time putting something on here. After years of writing and playing around maybe this is one of the better things - because it's coherent. It has a seperate chorus that works within the same key and even general notes as the verse but the melody is a little peppier or...

    How to get a higher gain?

    Any tips on how to get that full and loud sound (without distortion) through our recordings. I tried compression on individual tracks but that makes less sound quality, like losing the higher frequencies. And if I put the slider up high on a vocal it often goes into the red. It's quite...

    PC Out Stereo (aux) Return (monitors, Midi?)

    Hi, I have a question about connecting my speakers with my PC and mixer. Do I use the PC Out going into the Stereo (aux) Return on my Behringer UB802 and then try to run the speakers directly out thru the Control Room out or Main Out? Is this what the Stereo (aux) Return is for? Thanks

    Is there a manual (mouse click) way to on/off in sequencers?

    I'm a mic-up guy and am curious about sequencers and midi. Do these programs, like Cubase/Cakewalk etc, have a manual way to enter notes into a sequencer, rather than having a remote keyboard to enter on/off? Some software drum machines have sequencers that activate their notes with a mouse...
