I've always tried to write songs and look for someone to sing them, but it's always hard to find someone who gets the vocals the way I had imagined, so I always have a bunch of vocal-less songs. I took a different approach this time and decided to look for some songwriters that already have...

After all these years of recording, I've finally decided to try the band thing. This is our first song that will be going onto the demo CD. For the real thing, we're going to use real drums and have a singer, if singers actually exist. I tracked the bass and did the drum programming to this...

ok, I did this one last night, figured I'd put it up here. Any suggestions on 1. mix 2. arrangement 3. realness of the cello Thanks. http://www.bozrecords.com/mp3s/piano/NotAHymnWithStrings.mp3

I thought I'd give one more shot at some piano/strings arrangements before I started to focus on guitar again. This is my first attempt doing a piano/cello/violin trio thing, and I'm not sure how I feel about the outcome. My thoughts are that it doesn't really have any room to breath, and that...

I just got a control surface for christmas hoping to be able to make more real sounding fake orchestra stuffs. I just ran a little test, and I think it sounds ok, but my ears get numb to this stuff pretty quick, and my wife thinks sampled strings are blaspheme, so I'm looking for a second...

Can anybody tell me what guitar this is? I can't find any fender that has this body style. Is it an old knockoff?

in the past, I used to record drums with sticks, drumheads and microphones. It worked pretty well for me because the people that lived in the apartment below me were deaf. Now I don't have such luck. I've put mesh drum heads on my drums so that I can practice, but for recording, I just push the...

ok, I got 6 Christmas songs done. I think that's all I'm doing. I'm going through right now to make sure there are no mistakes I missed. I also noticed that 3 of my songs have pretty much the same intro, so I guess I'll have to change that. I never ended up putting the viola and cello to any of...

ok, I'm very aware of the fact that this one is completely retarded, but I found it on my hard drive while looking through some old songs, so I figured I'd stick it up here. The sad thing is, this is the only song I've ever put vocals to in my life. I also regret the fact that I wrote this song...

ok, I've posted this one before, but I've gone back and revised it about a million times. I think I've officially done. All I need now is some vox (wink wink). http://www.bozrecords.com/mp3s/song16mixdown13Master1.mp3

I need some help with my piano playing. I stuck this song in the christmas music thread, then after listening to it, I thought it sounded pretty lame. http://www.bozrecords.com/mp3s/christmas/DrummerBoyRough.mp3 http://www.bozrecords.com/mp3s/piano/howGreat2.mp3 Here's another song, just so...

I just bought an old Memphis LP knockoff from someone at work, but can find very little about these guitars, and is wondering if anybody knows anything about them. From what I've gathered, they were made back in the 70's, and discontinued during the whole Ibenez/gibson issue. Mine is a set...

I'm trying to put together some examples of songs I've recorded/mixed/mastered so that I can actually try making money recording for people. I recorded this song a few years ago for someone for free, and remixed it tonight to try to get it in good enough shape to showcase. Does it sound...

I just had an idea. I want to get better at my "mastering" skills, and that's quite difficult to do with my own music, so I thought it would be cool to get some music from you guys on here and try to master it myself, and then get critiques on how I did. So if anybody has a song they want...

I posted this song a couple weeks ago to get feedback on the drums, and go some good responses. Now I present to you the "final (voxless)" version. I'm trying to go with a professional sound here, so I want you to be as critical as possible. Whether or not you like the song is fine, I just want...

I recorded this song this weekend. I used sampled drums, because my kit has mesh heads to keep the neighbors sane. I need some feedback on how they sound. Too fake? The hardest part for me are the fills. If you can point out any spots that scream "fake drums" I'll go back and massage it a bit to...

I was thinking about this last night on the toilet, and thought I should run it by here before I come to any conclusions. It seems that in audio signals, the impedance of the cable is completely irrelevant. According to wikipedia, transmission line equations only come into effect when the...

I posted an earlier mix of this song before, and have worked on it since. When I listened to it on another system, something popped out to me as being obviously off. I want to see if everyone else has the same initial thought. http://www.bozrecords.com/mp3s/song6mixdown4master1.mp3

I started this thread in a different section, the realized it probably belongs here. I've read about a million threads on analog vs digital, but they seem to generally be religious arguments rather than factual. I do not want to start another one. What I do want are some cold hard specs on...

I just bought a Jay Turser SG knockoff. I adjusted it so that it feels nice, but I have one beef with it. The tune-o-matic bridge has a couple loose saddles. My choices are: a) Stuff something in there that keeps it from rattling. I haven't been successful in doing this. Anybody have any...
