LOL - "Frogetting" - "Forgetting", obviously.:laughings::laughings::laughings::laughings: My first new track of the year.:yawn: I've spent too long with it now and can't hear a damn thing any more. It's based around a particular reverb guitar pedal sound so it's a tad wet. Don't know what else...

Hi My VSTi is SSD4, but I don't think it matters. (1) Happens to long sounds - so in a drum VSTi that's crashes and rides. (2) Happens to every instance of crash and ride - takes about a second, which with rides you don't really notice if you're continually hitting it - very noticeable on...

So this was a long time coming. Completely recorded twice, two complete sets of lyrics, and four different attempts at a chorus on the second set, until I finally said to to myself after the fourth attempt "I fear this is not working!!!!" and I realised that those very words were the chorus I'd...

I'll admit I have a liking for shiny metallic blue things (hint: car) but I keep going back to have a look at this video - not because of the ridiculous spangly gold strat, but for the tele. I notice it has a "normal" bridge in that there are 6 individual saddles, unlike your standard conjoined...

Whirlwind [edit] it's actually called "Whirlwind" not "Whirlpool" - I tell you, the number of takes I fucked up by singing "whirlpool" instead.:facepalm::D I seem to keep doing 6 minute songs. Sorry 'bout that... :eek: I'll go shorter next time. First mix, have listened way too much to have...

(MIX UPDATED - Wed 6.00 AM Sydney) So this started its life a few years back as an instrumental when I was trying to work out how Reaper worked and how VSTIs & MIDI functioned - those who've been here a while might recognise it. Tinkered with some of the instrumentation, added a few more...

I have a RODE NT2 - long out of production apparently. Came with a shockmount. So finally, the rubber bands on the shockmount have got a bit spongey. I go online to see if I can buy some somewhere but don't really have much luck - didn't actually know that the shockmount was a model in its own...

Every time I record something, it plays back as Chinese. What could the problem be?:D

What is it with Peavey and 80w? I used to have a Renown when I was a kiddie and that was 160W for some reason that escaped me at the time. It had some special smoothy overdrivery tuby emulatory knob, from memory, and sounded absolutely awful. But fuck it was loud.... I think I thought it was...

So who can tell me about these pickups Gibson dudes? It's a 91 Standard if that helps. I'm assuming they're the original pickups but don't know. I'm the third owner but I know they were on it when the guy I bought it bought it from the original owner.... What are they likely to be? How can I...

I was sure I had this on the only Stones record I have - an old greatest hits compilation from forever ago... and I do! :thumbs up: I can't play it as it's on vinyl, but I did vaguely remember how it goes. Look at the font on this... has to be from the 70s! Hey RAMI - welcome back dude -...

Here ya go. "Bright Penny" I think the colour is... probably why I bought it. Shiny, shiny... :D Interestingly the video I watched was by Schecter's tech person and he didn't say "reset the fine tuning screws to the top of their range" as part of his "how to" vid. I worked out that that would...

So I have one pointy guitar in my collection. An Ibanez RG something that I bought during a "what the fuck was I thinking?" moment many moons ago and don't actually play. Hasn't seen daylight for a few years. Except the other day, contemplating a lead break in a new song that I've worked out in...

Hi I'm teaching fellow ex-Jongleur Richard about the gentle art of recording. He uses Reaper via Mac, and there's no useful stock reverb plug (that I can find anyway - I'm not going to introduce him to the joys of ReaVerb convolution files just yet - too soon!) in Reaper - so I did a bit of...

Here you go Jimmy.... :eek:

*This was the title of a Cave thread started by (guessing) TAE?? which was the story of the death of a relative of his. I've nicked the phrase because I thought it was an awesome song title, however the song is completely unrelated. A million miles from my previous band, The Jongleurs, if...

So I worked out how to do it with the markers etc. as advised in the other thread... Now I have a tune which goes from 105BPM 7/8 time to 85BPM 4/4 time at a point. It's an abrupt change. I'd recorded the first bit at 105 7/8 and it was getting a bit difficult to record the second bit because...

Erm... that's the song title, not a comment on it having been a while... First toon in over a year, since the band died.. and my mixing skilz / ears are very rusty, I suspect. I've talked to a few of you privately about my new direction, and, well, .... this isn't really it... :D But it came...

How do I change from 7/8 tp 6/8 then back to 7/8? (or similar...). I presume you can apply time signatures to particular passages (only) but the only time sig thing I see is down the bottom, which looks a bit "global"... I'm sure it's there somewhere, I just don't want to waste time looking for...

Howdy I have 30 vocal tracks singing various bits of a chorus. 5 different parts. Some parts have 8 voices, some 6, some 4. They're all me, so I can't have people singing together to get the track count down. It just sort of ended this way. The softer the part, the more voices sing it...
