In addition to this, it's my understanding that a trade-off was made on vinyl when it came to bass. To get a good bass sound, you need to cut the groove deeper, which consequently meant that it took up more space. The more bass you added, the shorter your album had to be. So for record...

you could try pitchshifting the whole track, so that the keyboardist is playing to the same pitch. then shift the recording of the keyboard down so that it is in line with your original acoustic and singing (and ditch the pitchshifted original track). you probably wouldn't get any timing...

What better way is there for someone to learn than by hearing an expertly crafted sound? I'm sure there's loads here, me included, who'd like to hear what we should be aiming for.

sounds pretty good to me from what i have heard so far (slooow download!). maybe the bass drum is a bit prominent, particularly when it's just kick, guitar and vocal early on. everything else sounds pretty much in proportion to me. maybe the guitar could compete with the drums a bit more. one...

cheers for the response! in my case, I think it would be worth it- I can't record using a mic on an amp at home, so I was thinking of doing the recording quietly, then doing the re-amping in another space where I can crank it up, but have to pay for the privilege. point taken about the GT-8...

OK, I'm very very new to the concept of re-amping, but it sounds interesting. So while having a slow day at work, I've been thinking of how I could employ it using what I already own. Am I missing anything important here?! Recording: Guitar > Boss GT-8 on clean > Art Tube MP Project Preamp >...

thanks cello. the guitars were all DIed, so the reverb is all from effects. i'm starting to think that i could have eased back on that a bit.

thanks for the comments and taking the time to listen. and eck, many many thank yous for the wonderful job of mastering! it does give it a sparkle, as monkey allen says. can i ask what you did to it? i need to learn! though i'm sure you've used equipment far better than i have access to...

i like the stereo image created on track 3. all the tracks have a nice full acoustic sound which i like. have you ever thought about using a synthpad sound in there? could be worth trying something very very low in the mix; i mean, something barely audible but it could bulk out the lower...

based on just a comparison between the leaves demo and studio version...spend your money elsewhere. the studio version is of better quality but not by a considerable degree, and i felt the demo had more energy, particularly the drumming performance. in your case, i think you could probably find...

does anyone fancy saying some words about this one...they don't even have to be kind words, any will do!

i agree with endraboy to an extent...in the context of an album, the intro will no doubt work and i love a song to build and change. you clearly know what you want from your songs, warmth, and that's to be admired and certainly not an ability you want to lose. but it depends what you want from...

the intro would probably work in the context of the album, but i think there's a chance you'd lose idle visitors with it on your myspace page. definitely make a mix without the first minute, and you'll grab visitors straight away. also, i don't know if it's just here, but the html is all over...

Hi all, Wondered if anyone could give this a listen and give some feedback? http://www.lightningmp3.com/live/68380_hiding2.mp3 I haven't got good mics (just an SM57) or a particularly good room, so the acoustic is recorded DI. I decided to see how far I'd get using only an acoustic on the...

Does sound good. The bit I preferred most was the riff at the very end, and I found it a bit of a shame when it faded out so quickly.

cheers everyone for the advice. I've picked up an M-Audio Uno, and it is working very well, a tiny amount of latency. So thankfully it was the MIDI hardware at fault, rather than my PC. Symbi, GameXP looks interesting, anything that squeezes a bit more life out of the CPU has got to be a good...

a bit more testing has confirmed what i thought was probably the case...the USB device is a total heap of shit! i've tried it with the on-board soundcard on my new PC, and with a Soundblaster Audigy on another setup, it's crap on both. i'll try something by M-Audio, thanks for your input...

if i were you, i'd uninstall it through add/remove programs in control panel (anything that's called alesis multimix, or windows installer for alesis), then follow the instructions for installation from the cd, making sure you do everything in the right order, including any restarting. this is...

the pre-amps in the multimix are pretty poor...might be worth investing in a good mic pre-amp.

Which drivers are you using? I think they've had many problems with them, and there have been a couple of updated ones on their website over the last 18 months or so, the newest being just a few weeks old...I have found that all of the updates messed things up, and the originals were most...
