Uhhh, I can't hear the guitar in either sample. If they are there at all, they are so low in the mix that you buried them. I can't offer any advice on something I can't hear.

I am downloading it on a really slow supposed-to-be-broadband.... I really love this song, so I am looking forward to hearing it. And I am not too thrilled with the new look either.

I'm bored outta my skull! Let me have a crack at it too! :D

Get them into a usable form, and I'll give a couple of them a shot. I may be home for another month sitting on my ass, so who knows what I will be able to accomplish...

It might be, but I never am anymore. Lost my interest in music right now. All my gear was stolen from my house. Kinda bummed out...

I didn't say I didn't get it. I was half in the bag when I posted last night (it was night here in the Philippines) and what I was trying to say is that this genre is one that you really have to know what you're doing to pull it off. He just missed the mark a little. And there is software out...

No You'd be better off playing the voices on a $200 Yamaha keyboard. Software that is available to us will never give you a real enough sound. But with a good honest performance, even the cheapest sounding instruments can sound decent if you know how to track them. What is lacking here is...

Ha ha!!! I am having a blast mixing this! I love the machine gun kick, Greg! As I suspected, I didn't have to do much to this. Only a little reverb (very little) and a smidgen of compression (which after I listen with fresh ears, may go away. Your playing is really consistant, which makes...

Screw it, even if this is done and somebody won, I'm still going to try it.... :rolleyes:

I have never had a crash with Reaper. Ever. I am on a Windows 7 OS, and version 3.4 64 bit. I am about to upgrade to the newest version soon. I have had it since version 2.0, and it's always been reliable. Perhaps the only problems I did have were back when I was on a clunker running XP and...

I agree that the software is the real problem here. I've done more with less... dannieboiz: It sounds like you may be using the karaoke machine as a pre amp to record with. That's your first big mistake. The echo settings on those things work well because they tend to disguise bad singing for a...

Here are the lyrics that I came up with originally. They will probably get scrapped: Lying beside you here in the dark In the afterglow of our love I want to stay like this forever I feel so safe, here in your arms I’ve been so lonely without comfort No one to share my hopes and dreams But here...

So someone writes a song (say me, for instance), but then wants to redo the whole thing, but they (I) like the instrumental part enough that they (I) want to rewrite to fit that. Have you ever done that? I am having a hell of a time at it. Here is a link to the song in question, if someone...

I will check that out. I'm a day late and dollar short on this contest.... :(

This was started 4 days ago. I hope I am still in port so I can get in on it...

All I can add has already been said: the lead male voice is very breathy in his performance, especially in the beginning, and you need a good de-esser. Check out the frequency range Jeff mentioned. I found the same thing. It's a great tune, and it's ready to go otherwise. Just my personal...

At least you're not thinking of "Joe Dirt"! :eek: I am going to try to see if I can do something usable with this. I like the chorus, as far as the melody goes, and there is some good stuff in the verses. Off to the drawing board, or writing tablet, or whatever...

Sorry for the late chime in. I really don't have anything to add other than I feel your pain, but for different reasons. I can't do vocal tracks because I am stuck on a big, noisy ass ship with ventilation and engine noises constantly. I tried to do an a cappela track a few days ago. The singing...

I agree when I tried to meter it, it came kind of fast, but stumbled a bit where the syllable count in each line didn't match. But, hey, that's what rewrites are for. Nice job on this one. It sounds Christian, but at the same time, "Hard Headed Woman" by Elvis was based on characters from the...

I will have to try to sing it out and see how it flows with the melody I have in my head. Then I'll know if it's worth pursuing or just letting it die like the thousands of others that I poured out in a flash of passion or whatever (maybe it was dinner trying a come back?) the excuse was for...
