I don't know if any of this will be helpful, but...You could take what you already have (your drum track(s)) and place that in the middle (of the stereo field) and check out how that sounds...That may necessitate that you adjust other elements of the mix to get everything back in balance (after...

Hey, I like this song (sort of makes me think of early Police for some reason)...sounds quite good performance-wise (good singing, decent timing)...I would probably bring up the bass a little and try a more conventional panning on the drums (maybe you are going for a Beatles deal with all the...

Hey...I listened to at least a portion on each song, I could only listen to the lo-fi version because I have a dial-up internet connection...It sounds like you put a lot of thinking, time, and effort into these songs...I think you sing well and I like the way you go in different directions...

A thought...does your keyboard sound good when you listen to it through decent headphones?...If it does you can probably rule out the keyboard/headphone jack as the problem and work your way on down the recording chain.

My guess is that the sound coming out of your headphone jack is stereo and you need an adapter plug (going into your headphone jack on one end) that will have two (left and right) plugs (on the opposite end). You will have to record both (left and right) channels at once to get the stereo sound.

I am definately not a computer guru...but one rule I have heard is to choose your computer system based on the application software (for example the muti-track recording program) you are going to be using on the system. I believe most companies (Cakewalk, Ntrack etc.) will give you some minimal...

I was wrong when I wrote that Yamaha no longer uses the "PSR" name in their current "home" keyboards (according to the Yamaha website they have at least eight current models with "PSR" in the name) I did find this current model...PSRE303 (which sales for under $200 on musciansfriend.com) that...

Someone will probably blast me (as has happened before on this forum) for even suggesting...but (SMX Dizzy) are you familiar with the Yamaha PSR series "home" keyboards (the ones with the built-in speakers) made in recent years. You might be satisfied with the piano and organ sounds (on a PSR...

You could call it "If I were your Man" or "Anne (If I were your Man)"...I don't really like the out-in-left-field names for songs...it can cut down on a lot of confusion if the name obviously identifies the song. I agree with the comments that you could fill out the song with more instruments...

There is a public radio station in my area that airs a weekly show which plays local-themed music (music by local artists and/or music about the area). Years ago I heard "homegrown" themed (featuring local artists) radio shows on commercial radio (though I don't know if any are currently airing...

I have used Pyro 2003, and now use Pyro 2004...I originally got the program to record/transfer songs from cassette to the computer (then to CD)...It has now become the closest thing I have to a mastering program (In Pyro 2004 you can set volume levels, EQ, and add effects to each individual...

This may be a bit off topic, but I came across a site (lala.com) that is attempting to do CD swapping on a large scale...members compile a list of the CDs they have and a list of CDs they want and the site charges a 1.00 to act as the middle-man...This may not be something new, but I had never...

Hey Irwin...I'm trying to understand the lyrics...My experience has been (in the United States) that If I buy something that costs 19.95 (after tax is added) and give the shop owner a 20.00 bill, then I will get a 0.05 cent coin (a nickle) back. Your lyrics seem to be about an financial...

Sounds pro-level to me...sort of sound like the Blink 182 hit ("Small Things"?)...I'm just a recording hack myself (so don't take anything I say with much weight) but If I was going to try to tweak something about the song I would try to make the bass a bit more distinct. I don't know if it is...

I got the Wharfedales in Dec 2005...They are my first monitors...at first I thought they sounded "bassy" and muddy in my little room until I engaged the bass cut switch...now I'm in a bigger room and have the bass filter set back to flat (instead of cut)...I have to say that I have grown to like...

I've had Yamaha and Roland keyboards, but I've always been interested in Korg keyboards and I may get one someday. I've read that every brand has a unique sound and that Korg especially is known for having user-friendly sequencers on their keyboard/workstations. The sequencer on my Roland XP-50...

I have used an Art MR-1, an Art FX-1, and an Alesis NanoVerb (inserted into a Yamaha MT50 4-track cassette recorder) and found them useable...The Art MR-1 only has reverb settings, the Art FX-1 and the NanoVerb have other options besides reverb (like delay, chorus, and flange)...I just took a...

I have read the claim that the Ventures are the most successful Rock and Roll Instrumental group of all time. When I was a kid there was a Ventures (vinyl) album (belonging to my older brother) around the house...there has a girl in a bikini on the album cover...I gave the album a listen or...

Lexus...I got a good deal online on the Wharfedale 8.2 Actives back in December 2005, but I just checked and the buisness where I bought them has changed its name and I can't locate the Wharfedales on its new website... The Wharfedales can be found here (but you might find a better price if...

Really like the song, well conceived, well performed, and well recorded...has an Eagles vibe to me.
