    Check out these guitar tracks

    A friend had me record this so he could give it to his band and they could learn their parts. I used a laptop with Audacity, a RNCompressor, and a little Behringer mixer. I added a little software verb and made it sound stereo. The playing is not polished becaue its just a sratch track basically...

    Vocals on top

    I dig my vocals on top of the mix. My problem is the vocals don't sound like they blend well with the rest of the song. It sounds like a karaoke competition or something. What am I missing? I'm not a great singer or anything, but I can hit the notes most times. I just need it to blend. And...

    Old record noise

    I wan to make a song I'm working on sound like an old record - whats the best way of going about it? I'm using audacity so I can use VST plugins. Would that be best or should I just use a record noise sample and loop it in the background. I also gotta have the noise of the needle dropping on...

    Freeware Mulitrack software

    I did a search for multitrack on sourceforge and came up with quite a few results. Audacity and Ardour are the ones I'm looking more closely at (It sounds like it might be a good idea to do recording in linux). Has anyone ever used any of these for much (mp3 links???) or does anyone know of...

    Just started singing in a band

    So I just started singing in a band and I want to make sure I don't blow out my voice. After a few hours of practicing it gets pretty raspy and cracks when I sing and I cant go as high. I guess that means I should stop. So how can I increase my stamina? How do I know when to stop? How do I...

    A tune for your listening pleasure

    I posted this before but the link was broken. Finally got everything straightened out with nowhereradio. This is a live recording. I used a $20 best buy mic from about 25 feet away from the outdoor stage and a minidisc recorder. All the equipment was borrowed - and it all sucks. But I...

    Turn your sony n707 or n505 into an n1

    I used to use a sharp minidisc recorder for field recording - but it was getting old and klunky and did not have any of the new features (mdlp, etc.) so I decided to upgrade and got the Sony n707 with netmd and all that jazz. There were some things I really did not like, for example you could...

    Trigger question

    The other week I went to the studio to watch my friends band get recorded. I noticed the engineer did not use the real kick drum sound but instead used it as a trigger for a sampled or midi sound. It seemed like a pretty good idea to me and would probably make my recordings sound better. How...

    A new band...

    This doesnt really belong in songwriting - but there is no band name forum. My new band is called "Osama BIn Rockin and the Tali-band" What do you guys think?

    http://www.nowhereradio.com/artists/album.php?aid=2665&alid=459 I recorded this over a year ago. It's a live concert (I'm playing drums) that we kind of threw together. I recorded our outdoor stage from about 20 feet away with a $20 Best buy powered lapel mic and a minidisc recorder. Not...

    Bass cables

    My friend just recorded at the studio last week. He plays bass and uses special cables made for the bass. Is this BS or what? How can a bass cable be any different from any other cable?

    a trip to the studio...

    I went to 8 Houses Down studio in Denver colorado (operated by the guys from the gammits for any locals) to observe my friends band get recorded. It's not a real full blow pro studio - they payed $35 and hour and it's basically a <i>really nice</i> home studio (24 track hard drive). Anyway, I...

    why not?

    Id there any reason I should not play my guitar through my bass amp? See, I have a BIG bass amp, and a SMALL guitar amp - but I want a BIG guitar sound. Should be okay right?
