    Download freely FL Studio

    + 2 on Reaper. I tried the Pro Tools trial because Pro Tools is the industry standard. It was not very user friendly and I got tired of messing with it. After considering the cost to buy Pro Tools, I decided to try Reaper. The trial is unlimited as far as program function. There are also...

    Home recording songs

    In the past, my wife has video recorded me playing and singing on her I-pad. The performance was good but the vocals were drown out by the guitar. If I had been recording the guitar and vocals separately, it would have been easy to mix the guitar and vocals and be done. Since I didn't do this, I...

    Mixing SOS

    Very nice and tidy. I'm in a similar boat. I've been spending a lot of time listening to songs that are the same style as I play. I look at them with a spectrum analyzer to see what the different frequencies are doing since I don't have the skill or the ear to know what I'm hearing yet. After...

    Does this compressor / limiter balance keep the drums in the mix or ruin them?

    This sounds good, but I still like the guitar part from the first one, that's just me. Keep trying until you find what you like. I had a simple guitar part I was trying to make work and the fix ended up being as simple as changing guitars. Took me three hours to figure it out though.

    Does this compressor / limiter balance keep the drums in the mix or ruin them?

    The last one sounds good. I noticed you took out the guitar playing the runs/lead? I liked that part in the first 217 1 20 version.

    Getting the most out of Toontrack EZDrummer 2

    Thanks TennMel. I use the EZX libraries in EZ drummer. They break down as the type of music or beats. I use the Grooves in EZ Bass. They also break down by the type of music and beats, etc. As I said above, it's pretty much as EZ does it. I'll adjust the length of the part and remove or add...

    Getting the most out of Toontrack EZDrummer 2

    I've been using EZ Drummer and Ez Bass for about a year. I use the song building features as far as putting the parts, (verses, chorus, bridge, etc.) together. I always start with the basic song, ie. guitars and vocals and then add the drum and bass parts, then finish the overall mix in the DAW...

    too Much HUM told to re-post this message here guitars

    I have a Tascam DP-008-EX and have not noticed this. Are you are pluging the guitars directly into the Tascam? If your AC adapter has straight blades, try reversing it in the AC outlet. Some tube amplifiers have a two position power switch, or a hum switch that reverses the hot and neutral wires...

    IYV Jazzy cool guitar $190?

    Looks like a chair behind the couch doesn't have a guitar on it. You need to buy more.

    Beatles sung out of tune

    That actually didn't sound bad, a little tweaking here and there. I play a couple of songs that call for a capo, but I think playing without the capo sounds better. The acoustic guitar sounds fuller (probably wouldn't matter for electric guitar) and I think my vocals sound better.

    Stormy Weather #final mix and master

    The vibrato seems to not sync with the rest of the elements occasionally. I can't quite put my finger on it. I like the vocals.

    Recommendations for digital interface instead of knobs?

    Try reducing or increasing the gain in the software you are using so the outboard interface gain control in is a different position. It may be a bad spot on the pot.

    I don't know which forum to ask this in.

    Before the thread gets too far afield.... I didn't even know Reaper had a manual. I installed it and started using it. Any questions I had (there were a lot) had an answer on youtube. Kenny Gioia on Reaper Mania had most of the answers to the questions I have had so far. Google is your friend...

    Looking for that big guitar sound

    That would sure make it a lot easier. Your latest post with 100% L and R panning sounds good.
