    Feedback on Instrumental please!

    http://www.gunnar.ca/bleed.htm Hi kids. Again this is aimed for the film/TV market. I was reading that most music supervisors don't want solos, so I didn't really do 1, even though I wanted to. Feedback of any kind appreciated. Thank you!

    Trading in Godin nylon for acoustic nylon - suggestions?

    I have an Acoustek Godin that I want to swap for a decent nylon string. I don't know if I should get one with a built in pick up or not. I have zero experience with nylon acoustics. Any suggestions? Price range should be between $400 and $500. Thanks!

    Question for bass players

    I have finished tracking the guitars for a new metal instrumental using my baritone guitar – tuned down to C. I am going to track the bass myself – but am unsure – would you tune the bass down to C, or play it in standard tuning? Is that low C going to be too muddy? Is the octave up too light...

    Normalizing - drawbacks?

    I have discovered lately that some of my guitar heavy mixes distort when summing?? occurs - the tracks can be OK soloed - but when played together they crackle and clip. So - I pulled down the faders in logic a bit - and it fixed it up - as well as some eq'ing. Now I have a clean mix that...

    AKG K 271 headphones

    I just bit the bullet and ordered these thru sweetwater (saved me around $40). I read many reviews and they all were glowing. They are isolation headphoes - keep out ambient noise and keep noise from leaking out. Excellent for tracking acoustic guitars and for getting up close to an amp while...

    Mic suggestions for mic'ing guitar cab

    I have a Sure 57 and a cheap condenser. Neither of them are giving me enough "sparkle" or "sheen". I find the 57 to sound rather dull and flat - good for heavy chunking chords. But can someone suggest a mic that would capture more sparkle from my Mesa Rectifier and Rectifier 2x12 cab? Thanks.

    A way to get exactly :10, :15 etc wav files?

    I sent in some edits to a music library, and he wrote me back saying the files need to be exactly :10, :15 long etc, and that my mastering program is essential in seeing the complete file and it's timing and also for normalizing. Can Logic do this or would it be worth it to invest in something...

    Pro (hard) CD labeling: where?

    I need to get a bunch of blank CD-r's labeled (don't want just a do it yourself sticker)but I don't need the CD's burned - we'll do that as the Powerpoint Presentation is always changing. Where can you get this done? I've already designed the artwork - we just need hard labels put on about 500...
