    Critique my Wall instrumental please

    This is my first "finished" project in a while. I have gotten dynamics (master bus compression and limiting) under control, I think. I have improved on the sound of my drum VST (I think). I have also improved my use of reverb and echo, I think. Thanks to anyone who gives it a listen...

    Bennie and the Jets Inst. Tracks

    Thanks again, guys. Yeah, the reverb is something I wrestled with a little. Everything else is on a reverb bus and then she has her own. I put like 50-60 ms predelay on her 'verb and also eq'ed it to try to keep her voice "in front" and the reverb "behind" and I also sidechained a compressor...

    Bennie and the Jets Inst. Tracks

    Thanks for the comments. Here it is with the context of some scratch vox.... my wife would not want this to go public, though. She didn't even warm-up and didn't really know the words... It did feel slow to me to play, and obviously boring/monotonous without vocals... the lyrics feel like...

    Bennie and the Jets Inst. Tracks

    I just took the bass out of the first half of last chorus... I think I can never stop tweaking....

    Bennie and the Jets Inst. Tracks

    This project is going to be a duet with my wife (my music, her voice) when she is ready to sing. The Instrument mix has gone through a couple of generations and I think I have it where I want it now, but I am ready to hear opinions, get constructive feedback, or have my ego crushed...

    vst for bongos, congas, vibraslap, cowbell, etc

    Thanks, Rob, very appreciated. Being new to digital recording (and especially new to plugins, vsts, samples, etc) it is a little hard to know where to start. Spitfire looks promising...

    vst for bongos, congas, vibraslap, cowbell, etc

    What is out there for free vst percussion? I am using MT Power Drumkit2 and loving it for a drum set sound, but need some other percussion sounds for certain things. Some things I can play on my cheap casio keyboard set to percussion, but its sounds are not convincing unless buried pretty deep...

    Cover of selections from Animals by Pink Floyd

    Thanks so much. I kept diving deeper and deeper... and yeah, feel very accomplished to cover some of my all time favorites and have it come out sounding like that.

    Cover of selections from Animals by Pink Floyd

    I am trying to get better with all aspects of my (recreational) musicianship, engineering, production, etc... This is something I feel proud of from the last month or so. Constructive criticism and feedback will be welcomed.

    Seeking Feedback on my first project from new home studio

    Nobody is obligated to listen again, but I will post today's version in case anyone wants to hear it with some massaging. The guitar is probably still a little too hot, but it is a little more balanced. I cut out half of the extra-long chorus. And I think I left the tambourine and shaker...

    Seeking Feedback on my first project from new home studio

    Thanks for the responses. Vocals are my wife, she has a very lovely voice and she doesn't use it nearly often enough. I gave her a little compression and a little reverb. On her eq, I high passed @ 100hz, notched out a little 1.2khz due to voice/mic/room resonance, and gave her about 2.5 to...

    Seeking Feedback on my first project from new home studio

    I would take feedback on my playing, arranging, etc, etc... Is my first song generally good (to normal, casual listeners), is it good from the perspective of being a music enthusiast, what would it need to sound "ready for the radio"? I was told this is the forum for a dose of reality :)...

    I am a Noob Home/Recreational Musician/Engineer/Producer...

    Like the title says, I dabbled with a cassette 4-track 20 yrs ago, but have been away from it for quite some time.... 2 decades of guitars mostly gathering dust. Now I am back into it and having tons of fun. My question is: Where can I post/upload my first finished product for feedback on my...

    MT Power DrumKit 2 questions

    I am just getting my home digital studio up and running with REAPER on a laptop. I have started using MT Power DrumKit 2 to get moving on some drum parts. It is working pretty well so far. I like that I can use the rhythm/fill library to start building things... then I can go into the MIDI...

    fast i5 vs slow i7 for reaper...?

    So, I have been shopping for a while now and it is time to commit to buying a computer. My plan is a Behringer umc404HD into a windows 2in1 style laptop running reaper. This is for personal, recreational recording (and other basic stuff like email, streaming movies, web browsing, posting in...
