I don't have James' great ears, so I'm just speaking as an ordinary listening punter. I preferred your effected first version, in terms of the vocals. I'm sort of annoyed with myself that I do, but that's down to me and my almost purist thoughts about every singer being able to hit the notes. I...

I don't hate technology at all. I was jesting. Perhaps my arcane sense of humour is just too far ahead of your curve at the moment. Forget I spoke.

It's not a song, it's just a lyric. And to be honest, without the context of the surrounding music and voice, it could as well be about potatoes being dropped in the kitchen as a rat runs by. A song can be a great song with a lame and terrible lyric. A song can also have amazingly good lyrics...

The free alternative to Melodyne is to learn to sing in tune ! :whistle:

And no, I won't be going into partnership with them !

It's not called Reaper for nothing, you know......

You won't say that when the AI mixing app suddenly boots up in the middle of the night, causes an electrical malfunction in your house that results in your electrocution then mixes and masters the track, releases it and takes sole credit, then retires in luxury having made millions while you lay...

There are about 6 songs I've done where I use a sampled DB as opposed to about 35 where I use the actual DB and for me, it stands out a mile.

I don't find it particularly close. There's something about a sampled double bass that just doesn't sound authentic to my ears. No offence to anyone, it's more than good enough for most ears, I reckon. But, and maybe it's because I'm a lousy double bass player and my double bass is a piece of...

Not necessarily. You can still make good to great music on older gear that you already know how to use. It's the result that people listen to and like, not the process and the gear.

The very fact that an AI plug-in would do the job better than you is the precise reason you don't want to go anywhere near an AI plug-in ! :cautious:

Just as an experiment {and based on your recommendation some months back} I used the Kontakt one in the mid-section of one of my songs. It's OK but to be honest, I can tell it's a sample, even though I messed about with the EQ to try to make it sound authentic. I should have used my double bass...

It has its moments and for non-double bass players it's probably ideal. I do think the examples given on their page are a bit strange for double bass. After 8 years of searching for the ideal double bass VSTi, I gave up and just bought an actual double bass back in 2012. It hurts my upper body...

I did the first couple of times, but then, it became quite easy. If I ever do use a click, I've become adept at moving with, against, off or around the beat of the click. The essential thing to always keep in mind is that the click/metronome is a timing reference, nothing more, nothing less. It...

Practice staying on the beat until it becomes automatic.

Our family car takes petrol well.... but not diesel !

Uh-oh, I sense impending warfare....

I just have a dictaphone, one of those Olympus digital thingies. It fits in any one of my pockets, records WAVs or MP3s and can be easily transferred to the computer. When I have a basic outline, then the fun begins, either with a drummer or a click and me on guitar. While it would be great to...

There's very little you can say to someone who believes everything they see on TV. Loud adverts or not ! I'm interested in why it actually should matter if someone thinks there's hardly any White people living in England. I wonder if the elephants in the zoos around England care that most of the...
