I use Lotus notes and send a copy to my boss to let him know I'm dicking off again.

Here is a song we are pretty excited with. I went out and bought a classical guitar as I get more into Brazilian music. I had help from a longtime friend who mixed this and added the strings, bass, and accordion samples. Our go to drummer, Charlie Morgan slapped the skins and tapped the...

I have been trying to come up with some instrumentals for placements. Here is a track that features 4 guitars, a bass, and keys. The main lead part is a tele...I added the trem using a Cubase plug. That's what gives it a surf vibe. The drums are loops from Drums on Demand which sound good to...

I spend about the same amount of time...but because I am a one man band I am recording one instrument at a time. If I had deadlines I think I would mix faster but I just do this for kicks.

I had posted this a little while ago with a drum loop. I sent it off to an awesome session drummer named Charlie Morgan and this is where the song ended up. There is relatively little processing going on and only 1 reverb...plus a little delay on the vox and strat leads. Charlie is a former...

I was playing around with the piano over Christmas break and decided to try my hand at an instrumental. The piano is Sampletank using their own reverb that sounds pretty cool. I added an acoustic guitar part to give it some rhythm and bass. The other reverb is a chamber preset in Valhalla...

Like a lot of others, I understand theory but I can't sight read. The couple of times I worked with Pro's, they needed nothing from me but an MP3.....I aint writing symphonies. I once recorded an opera singer looking to get into Juliard. Her coach played piano accompaniment. I told her she...

I'll take a look at the vocal this weekend. I see what you are saying. Thanks for listening. I have a drummer friend to replace the midi drum track. Although is is simply that, the midi track is definately the right groove. I hope he can keep close to it.

I had posted this a while back but I wasn't happy with the Bridge. I rewrote the bridge and I think this is starting to happen. I am really happy with the lyrics. It features kind of a hip-hop vocal over jazz chords. This material is really different that any of the songs I've listened to...

I have recently just started to just roll out words in a very loose way...they kind of turn into the song....then I edit them to tighten it up. Sometimes it works, other times it's a throw away. Any time that I try to write a certain song it comes out like crap. ..like I want to write a love...

This is very interesting. I'd like to hear the vocals more...a db or two...same with the background vox. I agree that the beginning is abrupt. Nice singing. The song is kind of all over the place...like it has too many parts..like the instrumental at 1:55. For me, 5.11 minutes is a bit...

This is a song I have been working on. I am happy with the verses and the choruses... but I have been struggling to find a bridge. Does this bridge work for you? Does it stray too far from the rest of the song? This is really straight forward pop...it isn't really samba or bossa nova...just...

I have some really good gear in my home studio..U-67, KM-184's, Summit TLA 100, GR MP2NV, great guitars etc. That way, if I do something that sucks I can be sure it isn't the equipment ;). Actually, I used to be in a financial situation that allowed me to buy such things. Now that I am a...

That's just the way I sing... John Hiatt is a hero because he has a voice that, while great for his material, it is definitely not mainstream. Thanks for the kind words. I have done a rewrite of Tanner Road focusing on the chorus with more interesting chord changes. I am getting drums...

All of the electric parts are a tele through a Vox AC-4 and some tube screamer. The solo was using the neck pick up. Thanks for listening, Chuck.

My good friend, John Marsden, liked this song and offered to play Hammond Organ (a real one with a Leslie) and mix the song. I have posted a number of my mixes so this will be an interesting contrast. I am pleased as all get out with the result. John's mixes are all about the vocal and...

Here is a song I am writing called "Tanner Road". There are just 2 parts and I will fade it out when I get it finished. I am finding that I write better lyrics when I go at them as kind of a stream-of-consciousness thing and quit trying to be literal. Do you think this is done...

I got Charlie Morgan to play drums to this track and here is a remix with those drums. I also started to use the Ampeg SVX plug on Bass. I really like it, I can get a big bottom without adding mud to the mix. To do this with just the DI'd bass, I would have to EQ the crap out of it and it...

I am a singer/songwriter out of Pittsburgh, PA. I record using Cubase 5. Guitar is my main instrument. I play Bass, Dobro, Harmonica, and Keys also. Here is my soundcloud page: https://soundcloud.com/tom-paul-2
