OK, before I forget, the song is called Riot (for now) and can be found at www.ampcast.com/jags ! Once again my production skills are getting better almost completely thanks to this site and I think this is probably my best first mix yet but I've reached the limit of my knowledge in terms of...

I noticed Thom Yorke (Radiohead) had a mic pointing about level with halfway down his vocal mic stand which appeared to be picking up his occasional tambourine use at a gig during the weekend. It may also have been there to pick up acoustic guitar? It looked long and thin, I didn't notice the...

I've tried to take as much of your advice on board as possible when going over the song. I'll try and list what I've done, some areas of criticism have been kept because of my personal opinion on how it should sound... Vocals quietened nearer the beginning Drums rerecorded to try and fix their...

My electro acoustic (jim deacon) makes a sort of buzz sound when played. It's has done it just about since I got it, in about November last year. Thing is when I look to see how far the strings are from the frets, there seems to be ample space. I think the noise emmanates from above the nut...

Microphone or Soundcard?? I get really bad interference when I record through the mic input on my soundcard. Is this most liekly to be mainly the fault of the cheap £30 microphone, or the (no doubt cheaper) soundcard? Thanks Jags

I haven't been on here or recording for a while due to uni, but I recorded a new song over the last couple of days and have just about reached the limit of how much I can improve it, so fresh ears are needed! It was co-written by myself and an ex-band member and I think it's up there with my...

called Big Crunch is up on ampcast. http://www.ampcast.com/jags Probably my most experimental to date if only because keyboards are the prevailing instrument. Unfortunately it was a shitty Casio, but gave a decent effect. Small amount of quiet guitar and a really powerful bass sound, made...

I've noticed a weird noise in one of my songs. It only happens in the chorus, and I think it's only in the 128kb mp3 version, not the original wav. It's almost like a slow electronic helicopter sound. Is this a known phenomenom, is there a way to get rid of it/prevent it? You may be able to...

Maybe this'll break the duck... Firefly, an upbeat indie rockish tune. Comprises electric rhythm with some chorus in places, pretty cool bass line (unforunately recorded with the same electric guitar as for the rhythm!) which I've eq'ed to attempt to make it more authentic. Drums are...

Okay, since practically no-one has downloaded the great insides yet, I've created an ampcast account and to my surprise and relief they post songs instantly! So you can now hear it on a lo-fi download: www.ampcast.com/jags Comments appreciated, particularly advice on how I can make the vocals...

I have just completed rerecording this song and would appreciate some criticism! It was recorded straight onto hard disk using a John Deacon electro acoustic into the mic socket. There is also another mystery instrument on there (but you'll probably get it as soon as you hear it) mainly in the...

I've just created a new website for my music. Currently it has the song which I have previously posted (coorporation) and another song which I recorded a few months ago using even more primitive equipment than for coorporation. I'm going to rerecord it but would like to know what you think of...

I've sellotaped a piece of kitchen paper (towel) to a bent wire coat hanger to try and make a pop filter. Is this likely to be any good, or is there some other household material that might be better?

is it possible to get cubase to automatically delete your out takes? When I try doing it manually it keeps asking for the location of the missing files even though they aren't used in the song. I doin't have enouhg hard disk space to have the rubbish clogging it up and 1 song can easily take...

Hi, this is my first time here, but I think I might make it a regular visit... Anyway, I've recorded one of my songs over the last few days on my PC using very basic stuff (ibanez gio, john deacon electro acoustic, zoom player 2100, and worst of all a £10 karaoke microphone (about £20) all...
