Personally, I HATE wma files with a burning passion. They're a wintel-exclusive technology, so anyone who isn't running Microsoft-savvy machines can't play them very well. If your audience happens to be running a Mac, they'll (most likely) have to run Windows Media player to play it with all of...

Haha! Whoa, cool. I should keep it this way. Maybe it'd be a really cool "vintage" effect ;-)

Sorry for the belated reply... - I'm running a G4 Tower (originally 350Mhz) @ 1.3 Ghz w/ 1 GB of RAM - What do you mean by new needle? Are you talking about the scsi connection, the audio cable? - I used Native Instruments' GuitarRig to record the little bite you heard. On my songs, I...

Yes, I've tried using all of the inputs and different cables (even balanced and unbalanced ones). I don't think that I suffer from Window's idiocy seeing as I'm (fortunately) on a Mac. I'm running Apple's latest operating system, 10.4.2, and M-Audio has a "working" update for their software...

I have a rather new (2004) M-Audio Delta 44 PCI interface that has been GREAT for using with my little home recording setup. However, almost out of nowhere, its sound quality has suddenly spiraled into a scratchy, distorted, warbley ickyness. I've narrowed it down and it is most certainly the...

POD? I don't know that one, sorry. Thanks for the amp-micing tip. That's definitely sounding a lot better. I'm having trouble getting the position of my mic correct to keep it from sounding muddy though :-\ (I'm using my 57. That other "condecer" makes it sound tinny) Thanks again!

Yeah. There's actually a LOT more to the song... I just hated the way this was going so I didn't bother to continue recording more. Maybe I'll do a simple miced recording of me playing and singing it w/ my acoustic so you can see what the song originally sounds like and what my new crazy-effects...

In case you wanted to see them written out, here are the lyrics to what's recorded: You are A Shining Star You're the death of darkness So beautifully dressed Just to impress Your Friends They think I'm missing something of value So perfectly true What I don't give to you. And Missing...

I'm a real newbie to recording songs, mixing them, making it sound cool (err... decent at least), etc, etc. My style is normally just a mic on my Takamine and one for my voice but I started this song thinking I might try a really FX-heavy, industrial mix for fun. I called it quits at about 1/4...

Omg I love the the vocalist. Perfect sound for the kind of music you're going for. Reminds me of Godsmack except less artificial and more awesome :-) The snare is a little too forward for me. It's at that perfect, simple beat almost the whole song, so it gets kind of redundant, especially...

I was able to get all the music... but I had a few initial reactions... 1) EW!!! WMA?! *gags* There are so many better, more universal ways to compress audio... MPEG is this awesome group of geniuses that made a great one called MP3 (hence the title of the forum "MP3 Mixing Clinic"). I would...

I agree with Tim. It sounds really pop-ishka with the hot n' heavy drums. If that's what you were going for, I'd go in a different direction. This song is begging for your vocal tracks and guitars to come out. Aside from it all, I think you did a good job keeping the beats from being too roting...

Amazing. I wish I could get such full, clean sound in my recordings. How'd you mic that acoustic??? I'd really like to try and immitate it :-)

Wait... noodles2k5.... Kuno?

I wasn't able to play the songs using that myspace player. It's not my computer b/c I'm normally able to do it. Hm, anyone else have this issue?

The intro was a little dry, but the pickup about 1/4 the way through really got my head nodding to the beat right away. Nice beat! The voice was great for the music style. Definitely fit in well with the song and you should really persue being a hip-hop artist!. But I agree with Phyl (btw, I...

There's a lot in the way-low-end, but there's not a lot of balance across the boards. The far low end is blasting and the far high end is excruciating, then there's a heavy dead center, but not a lot of padding in between the far low and far high ends. I think that's what was meant by NL5 saying...

Cool, man. Your voice sounds a lot like the guy from the band Fall Out Boy. Ever heard of them? Anyway, you should consider (assuming you're the vocalist) taking voice lessons. You've got an awesome, high-energy voice and *almost* perfect pitch. A little work and it'd really be something worth...

I just have to say since I've posted I've listened to your song over and over again (5 or 6 times). At first it didn't do a whole lot for me, but it really grew on me. I really actually like it a lot now :-) A few things to think about when you're recording vocals/singing in general: 1) Try and...

I second everything scrubs said. Good advice, man. What a voice on that girl! You might try limiting and/or *lightly* compressing parts of the vocals because they're a little to hot sometimes. Sounds like she leans a few inches more away from the mic around the last little lines she's doing...
