I'm trying to be careful. But, I'll hold a note for a measure and other notes will just pop on like I've moved. But, I am still. Is there any way to set up the recording so I don't get so many extra notes. It seems like if the guitar cable moves a note is added. Thanks

So, I found a way to create a midi track from an audio track in melodyne. But, I saw a video tutorial regarding actually recording a guitar into a midi track by using VST. Which I have no idea what that is. Here's my question. Is there a way I can have the guitar playing on one track, and have...

I'm not a techy. So, if this is something stupid and simple, EXCUSE ME. But, I just found out about an hour ago, and I'm beyond ecstatic. Back in the 90s I wanted a midi guitar. I can play guitar better then picking notes on a keyboard. But, the technology has never really been there...

I'm hopin' I'm playing in key. The first version I recorded I tried bending notes. You can LAUGH, one set of my "ears" said "If I had a dog he'd be howling" along with "Is this really you? Did you tune the guitar?" This is the new version in key. Any thoughts would be appreciated. Lou's...

Normally I'd say it's me. But, I'm not this stupid. Up until today Melodyne has worked perfectly. I copy the Pro Tools Tempo into a new song on Melodyne, import the guitar and vocal and it plays perfectly. Yesterday I spent a long time recording main vocals to three songs, and today I started...

On my best mixes (which is NONE) I easily place the instruments on the 100L - 100R spectrum. But I notice on real songs I listen to in headphones, there's areas of depth to some instruments. How do you achieve this? Panning is for placement. But, is it volume + effect that gives it depth? Is...

My first sessions way back when were at 8 and 16 track studios. The 16 track used 2" tape and you'd mix to 1/4" master. They were fine studios for what they were. But, if you blew a mix, you'd start all over again. Then I found Don Casale Studio in Westbury NY. A great home 24 track studio...

Did you wake up this morning? Then you got nothing to complain about (leave that to me). RELAX! Relax! on Vimeo

This is the bass song with lead vocal added. I melodyned one vocal 100% directly into the notes. Then duped that, and moved the notes a little off center and changed the vibrato. Are these vocals ON? (not your preference. But, technically in tune) If there's any blaring errors (besides the...

I wrote and recorded this over one night before melodyne. I always liked the song, but the vocals were out of tune. I melodyned them, and was lucky enough to find the video I made with the original version. This is nature along the Blue Ridge Parkway. It's old camcorder video. It's still neat...

YEARS ago when Pro Tools 6 was the NEWEST version, I bought it. The software bundle were trials. So, all I have to mix right now is the basic efx software that comes with Pro Tools. The EQ seems to be fine. But, it only comes with one compressor (which works ok) and one reverb (also ok). Don...

Just so everyone knows, USUALLY 99.99% of the time, my bass parts are not part of my out of tune/key/pitch problem. This is pretty much a first. I redid the bass line. I made sure (to the best of my extremely limited knowledge) to be playing notes in the key of the chord I'm playing. Are the...

I am supposedly tone deaf. I know I can't tell most of the time if I'm playing out of key. So, I usually keep things simple. I sent the break to some friends who were torn whether the bass is out of key on the break. One wasn't sure, the other said it was fine, I had just changed modes (I don't...

I don't know if I've ever asked this before. So, I'm asking - I have a pre-amp that I love and 2 mics, plus a simple standard mic. One mic died mysteriously. I used it for a few months, put it aside for over a year and it never worked again. The second mic worked fine and then it also died. I...

You're more than welcome to talk about the really bad mix here. But, I'm really looking for the Snow problem question of "Is my vocal in key". I've melodyned it, and the backing vocals. But, I'd really like some great ears to tell me if there's anything that's still pitchy. While I truly...

This is an old Korg D1600 song that I finally got over to Pro Tools and Melodyne. I'm not looking for mixing advice. It's melodyne advice... Melodyne 2 you could put a blob on G and it still didn't play a G. Supposedly melodyne 4 is semi perfect in this respect. Though there are many things that...

A couple of beers, a minidv camera and Final Cut Pro. A sing a long video, for the demented. I really wish I knew that guitar was out of tune.

One of the problems I've found in mixing is my speakers EVENT 20/20(Sam Ash) and Samson Servo 170 power amp sound SO GOOD, nothing sounds bad through them. Everything is so evenly placed that bass never booms, and guitar solos blend beautifully unless you push them to where it's can't be...

I'm not a newbie newbie. But, I still do things with trial and error. If you have a clue, you hear a problem and know how to fix it. So, I have just a few questions that will go a long way to bettering a person who is just starting out mixing. The majority of musicians use...

This is something I've been mixing and re-mixing and thinking over... I set it aside a while ago. Any thoughts would be appreciated. https://soundcloud.com/francesfarmermyhero/friend-demo
