Every Valentines day for the last 5-6 years I've recorded a song/video to share with friends on facebook. This year i chose the Brian Jonestown Massacre song "if love is the drug i want to od". Video was shot with my panasonic lumix camera. The guitar and voice were recorded as one take to a...

This is an old song-i probably posted it on these boards over 10 years ago. I'm trying to get my singer buddy to come over-he lives about 30 minutes away and has family, traveling job, (a real life)...So he requested i record this for when he finally does make it over someday (likely never). I...

Hello and happy holidays fellow recorders. I've been trying to mix this over the last few days and i'm going backwards. Here is a basically raw mix, very little eq, the drums are on a bus and through trash2 for a little volume and grit. The problem i'm having is to get a healthy volume without...

I've been recording this song all week and just started making mixes today, already i'm starting to ^#$%^ up what was sounding good during recording. So maybe some outside ears would be helpful. I am reluctantly singing again which is one obvious problem but besides the pitchiness do the vocals...

So this is a short little folk song idea i've had for a while, and finally got to writing some lyrics and recording. It's very short and simple, acoustic and voice with a string part during the bridge. Recorded with an octava mc012 on guitar and a rode nt something on vocals, both through my ua...

Greetings- Here's a little tune i threw together using some addictive drums loops. I made the video with windows movie maker using public domain clips. I wanted to tell the story of a space launch gone wrong, but i thought it was in bad taste so kept the video positive in nature. The music was...

New Song thing-Just layed down the tracks and did a quick mix/master. Let me know if you find this sonically insulting. I'm going for a low-fi 70's kind of vibe for sure. Instead of real drums I played the midi kit into addictive drums using their dry kit. I could put real drums on this but i...

Recorded over the last 24 hours. Continuing from my last posted song, i had made contact with a guy i knew 30 years ago who writes lyrics-he gave me these lyrics to work on and the whole tune came together quickly, just finished guitars today. As far as the mix-i really didn't mix this, that is...

Very long story long- My roomates girlfriend is binge watching a show called "Penny Dreadful", it has a theme song that reminds me of something i did long ago-1988. I was working with a guy at a supermarket who was a writer, he gave me some lyrics to see if i could make a song out of any of...

Latest song/mix. I'm reluctantly singing again, though I got to admit this song actually had me laughing while doing the vocals so it was a good time. I came up with the music idea and sent it to a friend who writes lyrics. Housemate on drums. I think the recording/mix is pretty good, the...

My latest mix-a harder rockin song. I didn't sing this so I don't have to make excuses for the singing. Housemate on drums, a tough drum track to play and he did admirably. Other notes: -Used addictive drum samples along with the recorded sounds on kick and snare, I like the result but it was a...

From top row to bottom from right to left 1. kliq tuner 2. xotic ep booster 3. xotic sp compressor 4. boss dm-2 delay-for shorter delays 5. eh-soul food-used as a clean boost 6. zoom ms70cdr-the secret weapon pedal, use this for any chorus, flange, tremolo effects 7. pro co rat 8. boss digi...

So I've recorded offbeat love songs and shared them with friends for Valentines Day for 4-5 years in a row. This year I chose a Robyn Hitchcock song called "Madonna of the Wasps". The mix sounds ok to me, the drums particularly the snare is still weak. The vocals are ehh-I tried many times to...

This song is the second I've recorded in the new house. I got an excellent drum track from the roommate. The recording is still not great, the snare is kind of weak and is being dominated by the high hats, still experimenting with mic choices and placements. Reluctantly singing again, I would...

New house, new studio, real drums after many years of my condo midi drum studio. So this is my first drum recording and it shows, I'm expecting to get better with experience and experimentation. So the song has a basic mix, I'm actually singing which is a rarity, I've never sung in front of...

Hey Here's a song in progress, needs some cool female jazzy vocals. There's a few mistakes in the mix (lack of fade out-bass heavy? drums are midi kit : () and a few inacuraccies in the playing but overall I think it's grooving pretty good. Get on the elevator, going down..... Strat

Here's a song an artist recorded here at my condo. It's a cover song called "Leveland" the original artist is James Mcmurtry. The drum sounds and the guitar solo are my areas of most concern-the drums being played on a cheap midi kit and the solo having a good performance but shit sound. The guy...

Here's a song i'm "producing" for a singer-songwriter friend of mine. I've spent some time on this and i'm in a rut-the song deserves a better mix but I can't seem to get it there. My ears are shot maybe someone here will have some suggestions. Song is called "Killed A Man". Thank you for your...

An old friend of mine contacted me about a collaboration. He writes songs and wants me to record them pretty much :cool:. So he sent me mp3's of himself playing these songs-I learned them and recorded them. Here is song #1. I first sent him a mix with no vocals but added some so he could hear a...

So I invited an old friend over to record a few songs and it has turned into a full album length project. I have free reign to do what I want for the most part and on this one I took advantage. The song is called "Sunshine" and it includes besides acoustic guitar and vocals; a djembe, an indian...
