    What DAW are you using?

    Still with Reason. 9.5 was a mind blower. Never thought they'd do the things they did, but (1) opening up VST(i)s really made this the DREAM. (2) the new pitch adjustment is so amazingly similar to Melodyne as to make me wish I hadn't spent that $200... Now both are limited still. VST3s are not...

    Songwriters: Do you still like your music?

    Yes, the songs we practiced 5x per day for a month, placed into practice rotation, and then played in a band every weekend for 4 years are etched. I can still play the bass lines to every Eckman Dredge (Denver band) song we wrote...can even do the guitar line from one...and I don't even have a...

    Songwriters: Do you still like your music?

    Funny to me: some of the stuff I wrote this year, I've forgotten how to play...In the process of writing 12 songs in a year (12 key parts, strings, acoustics, electrics, basses, drum lines, etc) I've forgotten how I did some of those things (I'm really not that great a guitarist.) I listen to an...

    Songwriters: Do you still like your music?

    What's funny to me: Up until 1991 I never had an original melody run through my head either. Then I wrote one song, "Questions" and to be honest, I didn't even know why I called it that until 20 years later when playing it I realized that almost every line in the song was a question...not sure...

    The Guitar Tone and Mix Thread

    Some of the parts sound a bit muffled, some sound a bit distorted and fizzy, but the whole sounds wonderful. It just shows it's not the parts, but the sum of the parts that count.

    Pardon My Ignorance...

    What kind of pickups? Are they P/J or Gibson/Epi style? Soap bar?

    Pardon My Ignorance...

    If everything on the D string is consistently low, and everything on the A is consistently high, can you adjust the poles on the pickup(s)? Pull the covers and see if there are screws you can raise and lower.

    The New Tone Thread

    Man, I don't understand the problem. If you don't want to deal with this thread any more, unsubscribe it... If all you want to do is point out how futile the thread is, or how great it used to be, go stand in line with the cave dwellers. Let's move on.

    Pardon My Ignorance...

    I have Blue Steels sitting on my desk for my Stiletto as soon as I'm sure I'm not doing any more do-overs for my tracks, on they go! Glad to hear they are worth trying! :D ---------- Update ---------- I've run D-Addario half rounds since the 80s. Always liked the sound, but for some reason...

    The Guitar Tone and Mix Thread

    Yup. Thought that'd sound good in a mix. Certainly does.

    The New Tone Thread

    ^^^ This. New generation of members doing different styles of music. Just do the same old thing in a new way.

    The New Tone Thread

    Very nice tone, Chili. Clean with just a touch of fuzz. There's still a little bit of awkward breakup, but aren't all breakups awkward? Should sound great in a mix.

    Reason 9.5

    To say that I was pleased by the announcement of Reason 9.5 would be a complete understatement...why? VST SUPPORT! Could not believe my eyes when I saw it. Most realistic interface, most seamless time stretch I've worked with, will now be able to use plugs!! Lots of other add in goodies coming...

    My Praise, Track 1

    Okay, this has been up before, but lots of work done. Got to figure out where the distortion is coming on the vocal, but please let me know about the drum balance and sound. Trying a new kit in SSD4. I really like it, but that doesn't mean it's any good...lol...

    What DAW are you using?

    Started with Sonar when it was still Cakewalk...still have an old version of it here somewhere. Now in the same boat with you. Mostly Reason, using Reaper for SSD4 and some rough mastering.

    Songwriters: Do you still like your music?

    Yep. Small fan base. $10 a month from ReverbNation releases. Couple bucks last month on the new DistroKid release (finally got past 3 month delay). That's not what's important. I write songs that are in my head and in my heart. If no one else was to listen, I still would need to write them. It's...

    Starting Final Mixes Song 7-A Heart Of Thanks

    I apparently need drum replacements. I wrote the entire 12 song project on these same drums, trying to be cohesive. BUT, everyone (on almost every song) has mentioned the snare, and the kick on most. Strat: I'll look at livening up the up! :) You know, it's funny. Sometimes you hear a song in...
