Damn...the power of the googlenets. It was a lot like this:

Here's a pretty clever approach to video (not my work--just something that someone share with me). Might make ya stretch a couple brain cells... Speed of Light / aka / The World's Tiniest Police Chase on Vimeo

So this little tune has some quirks: 1) It's a little short to be called a real "song" 2) For how short it is, the intro is kinda long 3) There are some rather abrupt breaks There's a reason for all of these: it's a backing track to a video I'm editing for a client. They're all rather...

Ever since I finished my studio, I've had trouble getting the bass just right. I'm almost always too heavy handed with it. I've taken the main progression from a little southern rock tune I'm working on and purposely put together three passes with different arrangements. The first pass is kick...

Saw a great Lynyrd Skynyrd tribute band last night!

So I started this thread over in the drum forum (https://homerecording.com/bbs/equipment-forums/drums-percussion/my-latest-drums-326564/#post3685193) and now I've added some guitars around my latest drum tracking experiment. Your thoughts? http://www.repentantgoat.com/Uploads/jam_060211b.mp3...

Here's my latest salvo in the battle for big, funky rock drums. After coming across LeeRosario's killer post, I was anxious to try that mixing technique. I just needed a drummer. BBQ & beer fixed that! My daughter and son-in-law/drummer came over last Saturday, and he was more than willing to...

So my singer/songwriter friend wrote a song for an upcoming wedding. She wanted something a bit nicer than the recording of the live performance off the board at the ceremony, so she came over and we knocked it out today. http://www.spottedmuse.com/files/wedding_song.mp3

I suffer great from "to close to the forest to see the trees." So before I go any further on this project with the current settings, I thought I'd stop and get some opinions. Here's about a minute and a half from a tune, and I have a couple questions. So crank it up and lend me your ears. 1)...

Sorry for the non-mp3 clinic post, but sometimes folks miss those banners at the top of the page. If you haven't voted in the song contest yet, but are even slightly inclined to, head on over and listen to the finalist--then vote for the best one. The more the merrier...

I'm not saying EQ is a bad thing, or that I'll ever get to the point where I don't need it at all--but there's an organic energy to tracks that fit with each other because they were planned and tracked well. Here's a sketch--an instrumental without a lead yet--that I'm working on. Lots of...

I know you used to have your PM's turned off--and what with the current PM problem, I figured I'd just call you out. So, besides building mics, do you repair 'em? I've got an EV RE-20 that needs fixin. If it's even in your strike zone, let me know, and I'll describe the problem in detail...

Quite a while back I posted about a franken-tele I had built. My first tele, and I really loved the sound and feel. But the neck continued to contract a bit after I got it, and the frets protruded--to the point of discouraging me from playing it. (In defense of the guy who did the neck for...

The ever so lovely Mrs. Strat surprised me with a ukulele for Christmas! Okay...it wasn't a complete surprise. A couple/few weeks before Christmas, she came right out and asked me which one I would want. I'm a newb to ukes, and wouldn't spend a ton. I really liked the sound and feel of the new...

So what do you do when you can't sleep, but you can't write a song? If it's me (and it's last night) I take an old progression and at least practice recording and mixing. I had fun dialing in the tone on the amp on this one. Song or not, it's called Helen's Melody...

Anyone heard of/seen these guys? Just saw 'em last night (for the first time) at a fully costumed (them--not me) halloween night show. I was blown away. I was also pleasantly surprised to be among the oldest in attendance. It gave me hope to see so many youngins' so intensely grooving on such...

I'm looking at adding a uke to the stable, and guess what? There's more than one kind! Call me a newb, but it was a surprise to me. I know there's a number of folks here who have and play ukuleles, so tell me--which one? What is it that Izzy's playing on Somewhere Over the Rainbow? A tenor? A...

I'm real happy with my cadre of tube amps, but I also still like my modelers. Last night I was tracking late so I was using my PODxt. Over the years, I have owned 4 different modelers--2 PODs, 2 something elses, and whenever I get a modeler I sit down for like a couple days building my own...
