    The sound of vintage recordings

    Mixing for Herb and the wrecking crew? That would be awesome. lol. My son and I started working on one of their songs a few weeks back. I've got a snippet of the WIP. He's on trumpet, I'm doing everything else.

    I Wanna Be Loved

    I see what you're trying to do and maybe it's cool (I'm old, what do I know about cool?) but the edits are killing me. When you cut a track to begin a phrase or end one, you have to do a micro fade in and fade out. Your DAW should have the ability to do a fade on the individual parts. On vocal...

    Introduction to Multitrack Computer Interface Recording

    Welcome to the site. To answer your question, yes!! Most interfaces will come with some "lite" form of a popular DAW program, like Cubase, Sonar or Ableton. Although the lite versions are limited in functionality, you can still do a lot with them and put out a decent mix. When looking around...

    Scratchy, static-y noise from fingers brushing against pick guard

    You can buy self adhesive copper foil and attach it the underside of the pickguard, then run a wire to the ground of the jack (the sleeve of the TS plug). https://www.amazon.com/Copper-Foil-Shielding-Tape-Guitars/dp/B00KLJLNWE/ref=sr_1_10?ie=UTF8&qid=1475122052&sr=8-10&keywords=copper+foil+tape...

    New Tune - Rearview

    Thanks for all the comments and help. I reworked just the vocal track. Hopefully, those ear darts are gone. I'm now a little concerned with the clean guitar on the right side. It seems to be piling on with the crash during the chorus. Maybe a little too much??? What do you think? I might...

    New Tune - Rearview

    I haven't been too active in the clinic lately. I hope you can look past that and give this song a listen. Yes, the upper range is beyond my vocal capability. Ideally, I would find a person who can sing it better. Any and all comment are welcomed and appreciated. (and um, I'm off to go listen...

    Couple guitar purchases - small budget.

    I have an Ibanez Artcore semi-hollow and love it. AGS83BZ Stock pickups sound good. Gerat feel. Easy to play. Very comfortable. Similar to this one.... I heard good things about the Epiphone hollow and semi-hollow guitars. I don't know if Guitar Fetish delivers across the pond, but check...

    In the part itself, Do you have the fade out Line at the end? In the pic, it's the slanted line at the end of the part.

    Mixers and Home Recording

    Most interfaces will come with some form of software. But you can purchase other software with more capability for much less than $300. Reaper is $60 and very capable. Lot of love for it at this site. I personally like Cubase and the Artist and Element version are more than you need for a good...

    Mixers and Home Recording

    If your end result is decent quality demos and not being a home recording engineer, then maybe you should consider hiring a studio. You might find it is quicker and possibly cheaper with much better results to go to someone who is already set up and knows what he is doing. Not saying that as a...

    Mixers and Home Recording

    If you want to record to your computer, you really have no need for a mixer. You don't want to tweak or adjust eq when recording, because you want to do that in the context of mixing, not recording. There is nothing on that mixer that isn't done better with an audio interface and software. The...

    New Song - Hey Hey Hey

    Kind of a jazz funk thing, IDK. My son plays trumpet on it and is learning to do improvisation. I'm still learning to play the sax. Coercing correct notes out of that thing is like herding chickens. In the future, I might replace the guitar solo with a sax solo. It will sound better, but I'm...

    Big River - Johnny Cash cover.

    Earlier today, I was pickin on the guitar and my son liked the little riff I was doing. Thought about it for a second and realized I heard it before. Hunted down which tune it was and decided to give it a shot. I RARELY ever do covers and I have NEVER posted one before (except for collabs with...
