I thought I'd try my hand at using some outdated synth pad sounds to enable some guitar wankery in a bad way, I also added some vocals to fully exhibit my ineptitude in respect of all things musical. Joking aside, Luke has been tinkering with some Floyd influenced kind of grooves and as the...

Hi Folks, Once again, another track which resulted from my experimenting with equipment set ups, one day I'll actually finish setting stuff up and not go off on a tangent. I suspect this one will require major surgery as I've simply presented it straight off the tracker + a light compression...

I have one of these, can't fault it in any way. Tim

These are quite handy without breaking the bank. Tim

Hi, I started this as a mic test and then decided to keep going with it to try and get an intimate sound with the vocal in an effort to get the track to convey in a believable manner. It might not be your cup of tea in so much as the song or my playing but I'm after advice on how to improve...

Having limited time of late, I needed to play around with something just for the badness of tinkering. I also wanted to try a composition using a mic to record everything on the track including the bass which I played through a mic'd up 1x12 cab. The drum is a small African djembe, I bought for...

Hi, The wife suggested I do a dance kind of thing. I'm more your raw lyrics kind of writer and usually accompany those lyrics with something noisy and dark. However against my better judgement I thought I'd give it a go. I'm not sure about the composition of this hence my posting of the track...

Hi, Folks Firstly I am not a singer, but I've been learning since January, as it's damn inconvenient not to be able to. Especially as I play everything on my tracks and don't have to rely on anyone for that side of things. I have a need to use a dynamic mic on occasion, a sennheiser e945, due...

This is another track I'm working on, which will be bundled with my last post. I got the other one running first and due to work commitments I've not had chance to implement some of the really useful suggestions in respect of it. I have pretty much everything I want in this new track, but...

I'm still pondering adding to this as I have been offered a couple of good suggestions when I posted the half done track in the composition section. I think there is enough variation in the track now, but I may be delusional and the whole thing may well have been better in the bin, but it's been...

A little progress(advice welcome) Hi Folks, I'm working on this track in a lyrical sense as well as its composition, so pretty much everything is move-able, adjustable. No title yet, but a few lines of lyrics and I'm not sure about a chorus but may have a bridge section with an alternative...

Hi Folks, I recorded this a few weeks ago while messing around with vocal tones and trying to become a little more competent with my very inexperienced bass playing. I'd like feedback in respect of the vocal tonality and how it sits in the mix and also if the track sounds too forced as I'm...

Hi, This is my latest track. I'm interested in any feedback but I must state that I will be replacing the vocal track as I never intended singing on any of my compositions but have decided to learn and work at it. I get asked which genre I work with and to be honest I find it hard to answer that...

Hi, I recently decided to do some work on a guitar I own but rarely use because it seemed a bit bland when compared to other guitars I own. It's a Washburn MG 70, I bought it around twenty years ago when I was gigging, and managed to keep it mint aside from a little wear on the frets. At the...

Hi, I've only been playing bass for a few weeks and to be honest I probably have eight hours of playing under my fingers so I'm not confident with it by any means. I have a couple of questions. Does a composition with drums always need bass? Is it best to try various intervals within the key of...

Yes, I know I have outstanding recordings to polish, and re post, he says blushing bashfully. Acquiring my first actual physical bass guitar a week or so ago kind of sidetracked me and then the good old UK weather played a blinder and next thing I know I'm learning to play the bass, having not...

Hi, This is my second full track that I'm working on. I am new to owning recording equipment so would appreciate some feedback/creative ideas that could help me get the best out of this song. I never intended to be a singer but I'm kind of stuck with my own vocals until I find someone to...

Hi, Having got my studio up and running a few months ago, I've already had one track with vocals in this part of the forum and subsequently in the MP3 clinic and would say I was helped a great deal by the comments. There were a few issues with the finished track, but having got a bit deep into...

Hi, This is my second attempt at a track. I'm a bit stuffed for lyrics at the moment as the initial idea didn't stack up in the cold light of day. I am completely new at home recording, but I think I'm learning as I go. I'm certainly raising my expectations anyway :D not sure if the execution is...

Hi, Having been a little frustrated with getting my guitar sounds right for recording when it's not practical to mic a cabinet, I've been pondering and looking around for the last couple of months to find a solution. When I say a sound that's right, I appreciate it's subjective and to...
