Hey, Here's a new one with lyrics written mostly by robgreen. He was nice enough to send me these last Spring when I was going through a dry spell and they've sat on my desktop until a couple of weeks ago. I hacked 'em apart, added a few lines and removed others to make it all fit my simplistic...

Also...not to be outdone by Obi-Wan, I assembled my collection of GD bootleg tapes, CDs and LPs earlier today: Many years ago I used to devote a fair amount of time on paint shop pro making bootleg CD covers. Here are a couple of my favorites:

Greetings, If you happen to have a spare 11+ minutes, please check out this track that fat_fleet and I have put together off an on over the course of the last month or so. This is a track that is revered by fans, but at the same time probably represents all that non-fans most dislike about the...

Hi, This is a tune from a couple of years ago - originally recorded on 8 track cassette with a drum machine, etc. A friend of mine wrote the lyrics (more upbeat I guess than what I usually write) and I put it to music. It's a really simple song as usual. I bought some cables and can now run...

Hi, I imagine that different facets of this question have been answered here already over the years, but I'm trying to organize my thoughts on all of this, so I pose this as a general question in the Mastering forum hoping that it is relevant enough to belong here. I'm thinking others have...

Greetings, It's been a few months since I recorded or mixed anything and apparently, it isn't just like riding a bike. I actually spent quite a bit of time putting this one together - trying to create some loops from old cassette recordings of myself which was hard to do on a portastudio...

Hey, here is my latest effort that I pieced together over the last few weeks. I think the mix sounds pretty good. I guess the song itself is kind of unexciting, but I think I like it...not sure yet. Please give it a listen if you get a chance and let me know what you think. Here is a dropbox...

Hey - kind of a long shot here... I have a Roland VS2400CD and am having problems with the CD burner. It has worked flawlessly for years until a couple of days ago. I have not changed CDR brands or types recently as I know these old drives are sensitive and sometimes reject certain discs...

Hey - so this is really rough, but I saw a bunch of country tunes in here recently and decided to cover this marty robbins tune that I always liked - as cheesy as it is. It's a cool story. Other than simple, boxy drums, strained, pitchy vocals, sloppy lead guitar and a completely botched...

I am not dead. I know you're all really concerned that I was lying in a smoldering heap on the floor next to my amp, but I was just at work. I come back and 7 pages of stuff that I will try to sort through later. I will note that the amp is 2 prong. I am also totally with Lt Bob on the safety...

This isn't too big of a deal, but it's been bugging me...probably difficult to diagnose online, but maybe someone has an idea here. For the last few months, any time I have my electric guitar plugged in, I get a pretty substantial electric shock anytime I am touching both the strings on the...

Damn! Been waiting for many days for a big muff to arrive in the mail from amazon. Never used one, heard great things, looking for a new sound...etc. Just plugged it in and the red light came on and immediately faded out never to return...I guess it must be defective? I tried other batteries...

Hey - I'd love to see if anyone has any feedback on this one. It may not sound like it, but I did a lot of things differently this time around. For one, there are two complete drum tracks (ala allman bros. or grateful dead - although the music isn't like them at all) panned somewhat to either...

Hi, Anyone ever used an Electro-Voice PL33 Kick Drum Mic before? Amazon.com: Electro-Voice PL33 Kick Drum Microphone: GPS & Navigation I'm reduced to using an SM~57 on the kick currently and am not too happy with the results. My guess is that buying another $100 mic isn't going to make too...

So, this is where the magic happens...it's also where I record and mix music. From what little I know about acoustics, this is probably a worst case scenario. It's like 10 x 20 with carpeted floor and tongue and groove walls and ceiling. Almost a perfect rectangle except for an open sort of...

Ok, my 2nd new tune this year...suddenly I'm all prolific and stuff?? This one is kind of strange I guess. Starts off slow and a little depressing, but does pick up steam as it goes along to some extent. At least it's shorter this time! Really simple tune, maybe too much so, but I think I threw...

Hey, I have been in hibernation lately, but have recently emerged to produce this odd track. I'm a little out of practice and unsure, but I kind of like the tune. I think the mix may have some issues, but I'll withhold those thoughts so as not to create bias. It is somewhat long (sorry!) and...

Hi, Probably a dumb question, but I really have no idea what I'm doing, so... I have a yamaha rydeen kit on long-term loan. I came with Sabian B8 HHs and a huge ride. That's it for cymbals. I think I need a crash, but have no clue what to look for. Forgive my ignorance, but are there any...

Hey, Any thoughts on this one? It's a cover of an old traditional number that chili and I intend to collaborate on, but he can't get to it for a week or two and I'm bored, so... SoundClick artist: kingseesar - dark hollow I guess I'm going for a simple, old-timey kind of sound here, but I...

Hey, If anyone gets a chance, please check out this 4 minute instrumental thing. I am primarily interested in the sound of the drums as I'm trying out some new things and am a little lost... I moved all my crap out to the garage for the summer and the sound is not as good as I'd hoped out...
