I like that idea. I normally know full well who I am going to write about and how, and I'll rewrite until every line sounds fresh, even if I am repeating a sentiment or idea that's been hacked to death, like love... This time I just wanted to see if I could throw something together that had a...

Bingo! When I was a teenager and full of piss and vinegar, I could crank out several songs a day. Of course most of them were crap, but I was doing it. I had tapped a creative vein and was riding it for all I was worth. I saved a bunch of them, but I haven't really tried to rewrite them because...

And one more note on cliches in love songs - they are ALL full of them. There are just so many ways to say "hugs and kisses on all your pink parts"... and the point was made that it may bring up a memory or two for someone and they can find an attachment to the song. Or it could just be really...

All good points, and this was just an exercise. It's the first writing I've done in a couple years. I was going to write something for my wife, but since we have been apart so much, there isn't much there beyond complaining about being gone, and it would have shown up in the writing. So I picked...

I tried to see if I could write an emotional love song about no one in particular. So I sat down and just let the words flow. I've made no changes to this, and the subject of the song doesn't exist, at least not to me. I think there is a lot of emotion behind it. What do you think? Oh, Juliet...

If you have a drum program, why not just use that to blend in with the recorded kit and bring the crashes up so they sit better?

I converted over to Reaper from a cracked (I know... :o ) version of Sony Vegas several years ago. Got onboard with v.2.0. I am now on v.3.4x64, and not looking back. My license will expire with v.4.0, and I'll buy another one. I don't use my computer to record. I guess I am too ignorant to get...

Tell your coach that's what you want to do. 2 octaves isn't a bad range. A lot of singers made a living staying in one. But if it can be done, your coach, if they are worth what you are paying them, can tell you how to do it.

I've got an SM58, not a 57. Can I take mine apart too?

I have issues with my voice too. But that was thanks to Jake-owa and his bullshit back in '04 when I joined this site. I have a voice that sounds nothing like my speaking voice. I tend to sing in the upper register tenor. This jackass attacked me for that. Told me to "sing normal". That put me...

Did you delete it? I didn't see it on the page.... :confused:

There are two songs on your page. Which one is it? I'd hate to comment on the wrong song.

It's a very good song... I haven't read any of the other comments, so I hope I am not repeating what was said. I am writing as I listen. My first impression is that it's taking a bit long to take off. I would have put a solo in between the first chorus and second verse. The lead playing is...

I am a bit tied up with chores, but I want to keep this on top so I can find it to listen later... ;)

Post it when you do. I could hear a good movie soundtrack in there.

Well... There is a depressing tone about it. I guess if your intent was to convey that sort of mood, you suceeded there. No real help I can give mix-wise, other than to suggest adding a stereo width patch to the mix and get things a bit wider. Is this a song intro, or what? It ended a bit...

Amazing........ I can't say anything else about it. Nice job on th whole project, Kev. Eddie

I just use this. And usually a high pass filter in the mix...

Whatcha doin'? Hmmm?
