With all due respect, I understand your desire to resurrect songs that you wrote and had demoed in the 80s and 90s in an attempt to "start pitchin' these masterpieces to Nashville", but the vast majority of "country music" being produced in Nashville these days all sound the same. Cookie Cut...

It has wheels, so you don't have to carry it all the way home. Looks like someone took real good care of it. Good luck with it!

The sharing of videos such as that video is what makes HR a great place!

Except for one thing. Without music, lyrics are soundless.

P Post your draft lyrics for the sake of comparing your draft lyrics versus ChatGPT, AI generated lyrics. For the sake of discussion: Suppose it that after you record the song, the song became a tremendous hit, and won a Grammy award for "Song of The Year", or "Best Lyrics". Would you be...

I'm not certain that an "internet intervention" would be helpful. Back in the days of "The Cave", shortly after Jamfest 6, a prominent member posted a grim thread about his purchasing a gun which led many people to believe that he was on the verge of suicide. Mayhem ensued. HR members were...

My apologies to Random Dude. Perhaps he was right. Dude needs help. Lazer, Darth Vader is NOT your father. You really are confusing the hell out everyone here. You're stretching the threads of compassion to the breaking point.

You're missing the point!!!!! You intimated that nobody cares enough about Lazer. That's entirely incorrect. I pointed out otherwise. Lazer is a regular here at HR. Lazer is well liked, even though every once in a while he does post some bizarre stuff at times, and entertaining. To be honest...

You haven't changed much Rami.

Stop getting your panties all twisted up in knots. Everyone knows that Lazer has issues....at times, but much much less than the issues Smithers had. People here cared about Smithers and DO care about Lazer. Don't be so judgemental.

I agree. Tom Dowd. Ever hear of him? Dowd had the incredible ability to listen to what he was hearing. He also had the incredible ability to record what he heard in the studio to tape when recording, ummm, the Allman Brothers playing ensemble in the studio. The differences between pros and...

Hence the "mix it up a bit" comment/suggestion.

For what it's worth, whenever you are playing an acoustic guitar you hear it with your ears. You're not hearing the acoustic guitar listening directly in front of the sound hole, the neck, or lower bout. If what you hear sounds good to you.....record what your ears hear with two mics at ear...

That's kinda sad, but to each his own the saying goes. During the latter of the 50s and early 60s there were many love songs (lyrics) sung to the simple C Am F G chord progression that was popular at the time. It was the lyrics and lyrical melody that made the songs popular.....individually...

Valid point concerning pickup adjustment!

Hey SG, I remember seeing you on stage, and listening, at Jamest 6, all by yourself, in the early Saturday afternoon playing your 6 or 12 string. Kudos to you for continuing recording! What you have recorded thus far, is a solid foundation to begin upon.

A lot of it is dependent upon your playing style. EQ can be very helpful to have your tracks sit in their proper space according to your liking. Compression, on the other hand, is a different nut to crack and learning how to to use it properly. I've come close a few times....accidentally.

I always use pen and paper to write lyrics whenever I'm inspired (hearing the music in my mind). I'll write the first verse and in the middle of writing a second verse.....I often find myself editing the first verse, crossing out words, replacing words, or totally rewriting the first verse, and...

There is no such thing as a 10 string mandolin. Mandolins are a four note instrument, normally doubled stringed. Eight strings in total, but some mandolin manufacturers decided to add a third string to each course to those four notes. Why? I haven't a clue, but I do remember that my Dad once...

The "Making Waves - The Art Of Cinematic Sound" is worthy of viewing in order to understand how sound effects initially evolved. Today, there are computer libraries of tens of thousands of sound effects available to every sound effects guy or gal working on current day TV productions or movie...
