I decided to try the PSP Vintage Warmer 2 on this mix to find out if it was of any use. I selected the FAT option but didn't tweak anything else really. Does it do anything for the song? WITH VW2 https://soundcloud.com/rayc/listen-like-brian-pygmy-beat-extended-stereo-pspvw WITHOUT VW2...

Hrllo Folks, For my sins my wife bought me an electronic drum kit that has a USB midi connection. I've set the thing up, I've installed the drivers and have even done a test recording using the sudio out of the kit but I can't get my head around how to do the midi thing from the kit to the DAW...

Hello Folks, Here's a collaboration between Greg L on drums, (Who forgot he'd done it), Rob Green on vocals, melody, solo & lyric rewrite and myself. There are two versions of the trcak one is stereo and the other mono. The project started as a mono as an homage to the tpoic of the tale. It's...

https://soundcloud.com/rayc/softdance-20-04-14 Softdance - an oldish tune with rerecorded guitars. Rami on drums and Ido1957 did the solo. Terry on vocals & sax. Mix thoughts please. REVISED MIX: (also in posttop page two). https://soundcloud.com/rayc/softdance230414-this

https://soundcloud.com/rayc/redo-2012-17-4-14 Yeah, I know! Another vocalless track from me. I knwo that mixing an incomplete track is almost pointless but I need to do something to keep my ear in. This was to be a Pygmy Beat Augmented track but the collboration folded after three songs. Mind...

https://soundcloud.com/rayc/listen-like-brian-29-03-14 I began this a while back - Greg L drummed on it. I replaced most of the guitars with 3 new recordings using n Epiphone Sheraton II instead of the usual Bruno, (humbuckers instead of singles, plank with wings instead of hollow archtop),a 57...

I often dislike rap because of the subject matter but more often it's because I don't subscribe to the "multiple degrees of rhyme" school of thought. For me there are perfect rhymes and, sometimes, humourous twisting rhymes. The rest aren't rhymes. The sophistry that has created a science of...

I had a conversation, via email, with a British producer I know of and I brought up the topic of recording vocals and ess problems. His #1 suggestion was to aim the mic at the tip of the nose. This fits in with a few variations I've read/heard that aim to capture a less direct and therefor less...

This is the video to WATCH written by fritsthegirl & I with arrangement and performance support from Ido1957 and fat_fleet

Here's the final mix of WATCH. I shan't be doing anything more to this version. There were a few conflicting opinions in the clinic about where to go to next so I took the track to some fresh ears, did a few tweaks & a remix, (biggest changed pulled the trebly/jangly guitars down quite a bit)...

I don't use pedals often but was tempted to buy them occasionally when I couldn't get my tube amp to do the tube amp thing. I don't have them on a board because most aren't true bypass, mosr are soul suckers wen OFF and I wouldn't be able to make I my mind about the order. they are: left to...

Here's a ditty that was written a year or more ago and has had a slow process for recording. It's a slightly cynical song with some flavour added to it by my latest musical toy, (Kim's xmas gift to me). Drums are minimalist tap ins from an old drum machine and could readily be replaced if...

Hello people of the post Xmas universe. My wife, in her usual generous xmas spirit, bought me a lap steel guitar as a gift. She's bought me a yamaha 4 track, Roland Drum Machine, Fender 12 string, Roland Disklab, an R16, a banjo, mandolin, 5 string bass and so forth before now so I guess it's...

As a commuting motorcyclist I have an inkling of your angst and a shared frustration at the silliness of some two wheelers. I ride a 30k return trip along what has become an extremely popular tourist viewing route with 100 opportunities to look out over the Tasman Sea - the amount of...

Yep, I'm shamelessly plugging our album. Here's a link to the 3rd last track: https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/26003421/Sewer-Night_Out_master_v1-00.mp3 The details re mixing and mastering etc. are on the back of the CD case - have a quick read. Does it sound finihed? You be the judge. IF you...

Fritsthegirl is still pondering a full double take but in the interim here are some alternatives. If you manage to listen to even a sample of all please let me know how things fall in terms of preferences. https://soundcloud.com/rayc/watcherik151113 The above is the same basic mix as the other...

https://soundcloud.com/rayc/heart-shaped-bruise-51113 This is mix 4. The verse vocals are more aggressive as requested. The drums are dry and louder. Is this what closer to what folk were after? Mix 5 - looked at some timing issues and trunkated the intro guitar...
