My studio (basement) flooded out. It wasn't a very good place to record anyhow, it was too long, not treated, really bad acoustics, yada, yada, yada. But I made due with the couple tracks I actually got to do down there. But now it's no more. The water table rose on our property over the rainy...

Tell me what sticks out as bad: http://www.soundclick.com/bands/default.cfm?bandID=270573&content=music

I can't get a new set of bass strings because they are very hard to come by here in Olongapo. I will have to either order them online (don't trust that I will get them) or wait until I go back to work and hope I find the time to buy a new set. So I am thinking about boiling them. I've never...

I am feeling a little masochistic. I need someone to tell me how bad I suck... Go to post #9. The link was dead here....

Awhile back I was asking how to get my mixes a bit louder without destroying them. I got some pretty good ideas, so I went out and tried it on one of my older songs. The results were substantial, but not surprising. I was able to get my mix much louder; in fact, I could almost compete with a...

I'm finally happy with the arrangement on this one. Thanks to BentRabbit for the percussion and Anfontan for the awesome guitar work. Let me know what doesn't sit right. With You Tonight

When my daughter was born, I wrote "Daddy's Little Girl". It poured out of me. It was so easy. I had a much harder time writing the music than I did the lyrics. The music took 3 years to get to a point that I was happy with it. But that was thanks to those who collabed with me. Now my son is...

Does Reaper have this feature? I just read this in a thread I started in the Mixing / Mastering forum, and I don't have it with me to look. I've never used a feature like this, but I want to see how it does on my laptop. So how do I lock or freeze the track?

I have been reading a lot of threads concerning compression, and it prompts me to ask: What is the proper way to use it? I caught myself the other day adding it to almost every damn track in the mix, just out of rote... What should you compress? What should never be compressed? I know some...

Spank Me Here is the remix I told you about! To anyone else: WARNING, EXPLICIT LYRICS AND ADULT CONTENT!!! Now that I can post songs again, maybe I'll actually post one for critiques. You can critique this one, but it's a 3 year old birthday present for True-eurt... :rolleyes:

I have a question: I haven't been able to upgrade for quite some time. I am still using 2.0! :eek: I am in the middle of the Pacific Ocean until the end of July....:( But I was wondering about the plugins for amp sims. I noticed that I have a pretty good selection of guitar amps, is there a...

I finally got around to messing with eq settings, and while I still don't understand everything, I am slowing getting it. So I came up with a couple questions. Could someone point me to a good web site to answer these, or give it your best shot? Thanks. 1. What is a parametric eq? I...

What does RMS stand for?:o:o:o I know it has something to do with summing right? Or is it? The more I learn, the dummer I feel...

What does it do? Where would I put it in the signal chain? Can I put it on the master fader? I guess I feel the need for ear bleed.

I have been listening to my mixes a lot lately, mostly due to the fact that I am in the middle of the ocean, and can't track anything. So I am practicing mixing. I do an entire session, then delete all the work files and start over. It's mind numbing, but it gets me by. So I realized a HUGE...

... in your face? Recording bass has long been my biggest pain. It's especially hard on me because I am primarily a bassist. I listen to the pro stuff for reference, and I know: better pre's, better gear, higher end sound... I've heard it all before. My problem is getting the bass to sit in...

Ian Gillen of Deep Purple is best known for this. He said one time that he takes a couple shots of Jack Daniel's before he sings. I've never been overly impressed with his voice, although he does that tasty scream during the intro of "Highway Star"... What does whiskey do for your voice...

I have been working on this song for a couple years. I've collabed in the songwriting clinic with the lyrics, I've collabed with other guitarists for the leads... I am really happy with the music now. I got Jeff "7string" to do the leads, and he really captured the angry, tense feeling of the...

Just a short one I did to practice vocals. I know the drums are buried, but they are canned, and nothing I have can make them sound good. http://www.lightningmp3.com/live/file.php?id=11453

Soooooo.... What is it, how do I install it? Do I really need it if I don't record to my pc/laptop? Help!!!!
