    thoughts on AI songwriting service/sites?

    I'm in full agreement with your take. Once the newness wears off and folks understand that there is no "intelligence" at all just huge databases to draw from, good or not, it will be forgotten. Already ai companies are struggling because businesses (one of the main intended targets of ai) are...

    Referencing a Mix on a Sh*tty Speaker

    I have often wondered how people handle this. I just went from a good mix in the studio then listening on Bluetooth speakers, headphones & my SUV (great speakers) then tweaking until those sound great. Then I send it to my brother for him to listen on a couple of devices and listen to his...

    Attic room studio help/advice

    Soundproofing can be a challenge. I was somewhat fortunate that I was able to "build" the studio when we rebuilt our house after a total loss fire. So, as far as I remember they heavily insulted all walls and then added another layer of drywall with an air gap (room within a room). Definitely...

    Office cubicle panels for gobos?

    I thought about using them when I retired and closed my business, but I never tried them because my studio is so well treated and I love the recordings I get in there.

    What defines a great guitar?

    I was stating my opinion......wasn't looking to have a contest.

    Choosing the right OS and DAW for me

    I guess I'm confused also? Facebook is littered with posts about Apple updates breaking music apps, I didn't make it up nor was I recommending that people update. So lost on your reply???

    Fan-less PC solutions.

    I know nothing about fanless, but this has been interesting reading.

    Choosing the right OS and DAW for me

    I agree that OS/DAW is primarily a choice of preference. I will say on forums I read quite a bit of Apple “breaking” apps often with their updates, I would not want to deal with that myself. I have a suggestion…..take a look at Band In A Box for accompaniment. Their realtracks are real session...

    What defines a great guitar?

    I've owned over 30 guitars and have not really experienced that. At least nothing that couldn't be fixed. Some play along beautifully and others fought me all the time. Obviously the fighters didn't stay around long!

    Does anyone slice up their vocal tracks and level match each syllable or note?

    I always start with a limiter just to slightly shave the top off the loudest parts, careful to not over do it. Automation is your friend then pop "Vocal Rider" on the track. Also very easy to bring it into melodyne & adjust any words I feel fall off too much. Gee I guess there is 4 different...

    original song, please critique my mix

    Hate to sound like a broken record but I agree with getting the guitar track perfected then doing a strong vocal. I always do multiple takes of the guitar, pick the best take then comp the iffy parts of that with better parts from other takes......I actually do the same with vocals.

    Unusual Guitar

    Darn I had one of those!!! Unfortunately lost it in a house fire in 2016, but I loved that beast. Had the effects unit that came with it too (can't remember what it was called). I recorded some cool stuff with it. I may be weird because I have an Ovation Custom Legend AX Contour (also lost...
