What a shame that we have to be so concerned about these attacks and how do we know when we have enough protection? I take certain measures to protect my system but cyber criminals still make me nervous.

Another blunder: I record the perfect take only to discover that I hit the Play button instead of Record. That's happened a few times.

I have Audition and I can also change tempo and retain the pitch in Reaper but any program I use to change tempo more than a half note distorts the formant of the vocal more than I can tolerate. I tried a few different programs that can adjust the formant and one in particular did a really good...

I remember those being quite common years ago, in fact I had an old P bass that had one on it. I took it off because I didn't like it.

Don't feel bad, I recorded all of the music for an entire song before I discovered the key was too high for me to sing the chorus. I did test the verse before settling on the key but did not realize that the verse was higher. I jumped through multiple flaming hoops figuring out how to make that...

If I only had George Martin to help me.

If you want to share music outside of this site there are numerous hosting sites that will host your songs for free. Soundcloud is a popular option but there are others. You can also upload files to something like Google Drive and send a link to the songs.

I generally high pass around 40 because I really don't want to hear anything below that in my songs. Plus if music is played on a system with a sub woofer you could be in for an unpleasant surprise and also will affect you peak volume. I adjust the other frequencies to fit the song.

Man, I hope it sounds as good as it looks!

I have a 57 and 58 and I use neither for recording acoustic guitar. Yeah you can do it and it will sound OK but there are better mic's IMO. There won't be much if any difference in what you hear with the two mic's unless they are really close, in which case the 57 will pick up a smaller pattern...

To my knowledge lyric writing goes one of two ways: 1. Write lyrics and then write music to conform to them. 2. Write music and then write lyrics to conform to it. I am primarily a guitar player but I am also a singer. Because I am guitar player first I always write the music and then fit...

IME and what I have learned from my musician friends is that there is no easy way to get discovered by posting music on ANY site. The folks I know that had some success came with lots of work and self promotion. The work was playing live and selling merch. Self promotion was the constant posting...

My Taylor has the newer expression system and I only use it for playing live. I have tried recording with it alone and mixed with one or two mic's but i always end up with using one LDC or a SDC. Placement and post EQ are very important and I found that using coated strings will reduce finger...

The strat and tele have very distinct and different sounds. If you want the tele sound then you need a tele. The combo of the pickups, ashtray tail piece and single cut slab body make it unique.

I think most options of the available effect pedals have been explored because I haven't heard anything ground breaking in a while. Yes, strange sounds can be made with multi-effect units but only variations of what has already been done. Using those sounds in a new way as in like in an...

that's interesting because I have one solid body electric in particular that has a great acoustic sound and I have recorded it without an amp and it sounded excellent.

I've heard guys say how much they like recording on tape because of how easy it is and how it increases their work flow. They say working with a DAW is too complex and stifles creativity, working to a click sounds too mechanical, causes musicians to get lazy because they can copy and paste and...

Nice. So you have a BR4 which I believe was a one year model and I think it also has a P90 pickup similar to the one in my BR9.

It really depends on what you plan to play. C6 is a very popular tuning and can be used for most genres but is most popular for Hawaiian and Western Swing. I play similar to David Lindley, David Gilmour, Kelly Joe Phelps and others who use the open E tuning: E-B-E-G#-B-E. Sometimes I will tune...

Look at the bight side... if you decide you need treatment you won't need a lot :P Also, I would not invest in a Marshall stack.
