Hey if anyone has a free minute or two I invite you to go to www.purevolume.com/followthebirds I posted a few demos and was wondering if you could offer any criticism or critique that I might use to improve. Thanks!

Hey all, I am in the market for a new keyboard, but am really quite a noob when it comes to synths and such. What I need is just a keyboard that has good multi-instrument sounds, has some sort of programmable beat/drum maker, and preferably weighted keys, although it does not have to be for...

I have this tune I've been messing with for a while, and I think I finally have some vocals to go over them. I would kind of like to know if I should keep working on them or go with what i have? If you dudes have a second to check it out, it would be very helpful. Note: the song is called...

Hey all. I just mixed a piece that I'm about to add vocals and audio clips to. I wanted to get some feedback on the mix and originality on the music before i commit to vocals and such. www.purevolume.com/followthebirds It's the last clip called "prevocals" Any suggestions or comments...

Hey dudes, I put up a little guitar clip of a song I have in my head called "To the Pro". The only thing it has so far is guitar tracks, no drums bass or vocals yet. I just wanted to get a feel to see if it's something I should keep working on. It's the last clip called "totheproincomplete"...

When you guys are writing songs, is there a favorite chord you always migrate to? Or maybe a favorite scale you base your songs on that you like?

I have been recording for some time, but have been disappointed by most of what I've done. If I wanted to start over with a new recording software, which one would you guys recommend? I have been using "Sonar Producer Edition", but it has way too many features for me and I get overwhelmed...

Hey guys. I wrote this, then reworked it. I don't have the previous arrangement posted, but this is the result. Anyone dig this? www.purevolume.com/followthebirds Song called "Enough Time".

I know I will probably get many responses making fun of me or telling me to read the manual or whatever, but I bought EZ Drummer from a friend and he had lost the manual long ago, so I'm stuck. I've installed EZ Drummer onto my system, and this dude was telling me you have to load this program...

I was just told by one of my favorite guitarists that he uses a Sansamp Para Driver here on his live rig. I didn't get a chance to ask him the purpose of the pedal, and after looking at the description of the product on musicansfriend, I still don't get it. Isn't this a DI box just used in...

Just a quick question about mixing. I've gotten really into this band called From Monument to Masses (give them a listen here). In the song "Comrads and Friends" for instance, their guitarist layers his guitar parts in loops, sometimes 6 or 7 at a time, and they all seem to fit nicely. Does...

Hey guys...not really a recording question..more of a jamming question. I have a Behringer V-amp. What's the word on running this through just a PA monitor(s) to jam? I'm thinking of purchasing monitors so I can hear what I'm playing to just allow me to write songs through the Vamp, but I...

Hey guys, I have a JamMan Looper/Phraser Sampler from Digitech. Does anyone know if you replace WAV files when loaded into a USB. For instance, if I have a audio sample I want use as a loop on the pedal, can I just hook the JamMan up to my computer and drag the audiofile into one of it's LOOP...

Hey guys. I'm needing a mixer to work as my audio interface. I'm not a drummer, and it's just myself doing recordings, so I don't need very many inputs. Does anybody have any experience with this product? It's an Alesis Multimix USB mixer. I was searching around ebay and it seems to fit my...

Howdy. I am putting a bass through my Behringer Vamp Pro and to my interface (M-audio fastrack). They sound is muddy and low. I realize this isn't the best method of recording bass, but as far as I can read everyone suggests either miking a bass cab (which I do not have at the moment), or...

Hey guys, I have a Boss GT-6, but I can't seem to figure it out. I want to use it to record direct, but when I go from my guitar---GT6--audio interface...my volume is WAY too low. I can have the patch volume all the way up, and have my gain on my interface (M-audio fastrack) cranked, but to no...

does anybody know of a website that has a tutorial on EQing? I've ran a search on this forum, but it's going to be impossible to distinguish good material from fluff.

Does anybody know where I can post a song in .wma format?

Hey guys. I use a Dr. 770 and I was wondering if anyone out there has any tips to make the cymbals a little more realistic sounding. Do you guys add any effects for work with some certain EQ to get rid of that obvious drum machine sound?
