:confused: Hey - long time guitarist/recording hobbiest here with little experience with real drums. I've always used drum machines and/or loops. I just got an acoustic kit on a long term loan from a friend of my wife's. Probably nicer than one I would've bought, so I'm pretty psyched. It is a...

Hey, First new tune for me since October...probably bit off more than I could chew, but I had big plans - partially actualized here. Finshed around 3 this morning, and in my haste to completion I think I captured a few cringe-worthy vocals. Not sure if I can stomach going back and re-doing...

Hey, I was going to put this in the computer recording forum or whatever it's called, but it is so rudimentary I figured it belonged here... Do you have virtually unlimited FX processing with a computer-based recording set up? I mean, I would assume you are theoretically limited by your...

Hey, Maybe a well-known thing, but I can't figure out what that signature George Harrison / Eric Clapton guitar effect is that makes the guitar sound almost like an organ. Y'know like the riff on Badge (in the bridge I think?) from Cream's last album? It seemed like a common effect from...

Hey - I put this one up a week or so ago and based on the advice I received, I retracked a few things and remixed this from the ground up. If you have a chance, please give it a go and let me know what you think... - new lead vocals - obviously doubled - maybe they sit better than the prior...

Hey, Here is a first stab at mixing a jerry garcia cover I did this weekend. Not a carbon copy by any stretch, but you get the general idea. The snare sound is bugging me. Sounds almost like a drum machine snare at times? The bass seems all woofy now that I hear it on the pc. Still...I kinda...

Ummm... This thread reminded me of this for some reason:

Hey, This one is pretty strange. I like it, but am second guessing everything and could use a little feedback... Here we have: rambling stream of conciousness lyrics, psuedo rapping, robotic vocal doubling, various abrupt breaks, warbling kazoos... Now if that doesn't pique your interest...

Hey, No new original material to work with now, so I used this cover as a vehicle to try get back to playing guitar more and work on some basic recording ideas. I've been doing a lot of layering of parts and effects going for a big sound lately, and this is more of an effort to focus on just...

Hey, Hope this is ok to post in this forum. I imagine this is mostly about acoustic drums and rightly so, but I have a question about how to achieve a certain kind of drum sound that is most likely of the drum machine variety :o. For whatever reason, I have always been drawn to that grainy...

Hey, So I did this one a year or 2 ago on my 8 track cassette and wanted to revisit it with I guess a bigger production or something... I asked kcearl if he would be willing to add some electronic weirdness and thankfully he oblidged. I really like what his additions did to the sound and he...

Hey, I have just uploaded my 1st attempt at a YouTube vid :o :). Really pretty rough I guess - just some footage I took on a couple of family outings the last few weeks. Used WMM which seems simple enough. The song is the same Flaming Lips cover I posted a week or so ago, so my apologies for...

I have here a cover of a semi-well known Flaming Lips tune called Race for the Prize. I guess I was going for a bigger kind of sound on this, but at what price? It's starting to sound kind of messy to me now. Please let me know if you hear anything really wrong or out of place...

Ok, probably a dumb question and not sure I can articulate it well enough, but here goes....Is there anything besides just moving the pan knob or fader all to the way to one side that can affect how far panned to one side a particular sound is perceived to be by the listener? I'm thinking the...

Hey, Please give this one a listen and let me know what you think if you get a chance. This is a new tune I wrote and recorded the last week or so with the intention of being simultaneously depressing and fun :confused: :D. It is called Too Lonely to Drink. Maybe more of a conventional sort of...

Hey, Here is a new recording I'd like you to check out if you get a chance. It is a cover of a black sabbath song called spiral architect. I took a lot of liberties with this - keeping the lyrics and basic vocal melody but pretty much throwing everything else out the window and inexplicably...

Oddly enough...yes, they are.

Hey, Please check this one out if you get a chance and let me now how it sounds. Trying to do something a little more normal this time around. This tune has been covered a bunch of times, but I've always liked it. My version is pretty slow and mellow, and while not ready for mardi gras, I think...

Hey - trying out some totally different drum sounds...strung together a simple arrangement as a test and just kept adding stuff and came up with this strange...uh...thing. There are bits with my son playing left for dead on xbox mixed in for good measure. Anyway, mostly interested in the drums...

Hey, Please check this one out if you get a chance and let me know how this one is sounding. I got some new equipment last week and have spent a bunch of time trying to learn it all. I think this is an improvement over prior tracks, but you be the judge...thanks in advance...
