So, I looked at some previous threads about mastering hoping to glean information that could be useful to me. I was greatly disappointed. All I found was people ridiculing others (including professionals) for everything from compressors to volume level. So here I am going to try to start a...

Ditto.

Old school rocks. Literally. :) you just can't beat a real drumset. (See what I did there? ;) ) I'm grateful for the new technologies that are available. Some of em give some really sweet sounds. But you can't outclass a real kit played by a real drummer.

Thanks, man!

This song was first released on the album "The Word: Recapturing the Imagination" in 1992. So yes, you nailed the time era. =D

I think all of us are doing this purely as a hobby and self enjoyment. :)

Pretty much said everything I was going to say, and more. Apple vs. Mac... The age old debate that everyone loves to jump into, but very few people actually understand. Apple has always been committed to quality- even if they lose a profit by doing so. If you get a Mac, you will have a fine...

Wow, Broken_H! Why didn't you share this with me sooner. :) I'll make sure to practice this.

Haha! "Warm" I guess is a term that is open for interpretation when describing sound. I did a side by side comparison of a 57 vs. the Pyle knock-off. The 57 sounded "better." "Warm" was the best fitting adjective I could find.

If you get one of Pyle's knock offs for ten bucks, they are actually pretty great mics. Not quite the same warm tone as a 57. Definitely a different mic, but still, very good. I use them just as I would a 57, and don't notice any major difference. And for ten bucks, it's kinda really cheap. ;)

I would say that I wouldn't use anything BUT an SM57 for that kind of recording. But that's just me, and I'm still relatively new to home recording. Here is a song currently in the works. The electric guitar was played through a Peavy modeling amp and recorded with an SM57. I love it...

Thanks for the input so far guys! :) Robus, you've got a point with the comments on the melody. I'll look into that and try to tweak it a little. Took me a while, but here are the lyrics: You still haunt my dreams, A phantom in the night. You still ravish me With just a glance from those...

Hey, blokes. I've got a song I've written and recorded a demo. I really love it lyrically, but I wanna know what other people think of my imagined genius. I don't have time to type up the all the lyrics currently. But will tomorrow. Lemme know what you...

That makes sense. I hadn't thought of that?

I don't know that anybody was trying to do that. Somebody, somewhere on this forum, said that each genre of music was validated as music, because each genre has it's own following. What I'm saying has nothing to do with genre, other than the fact that programmed beats tend to dominate strongly...

I've never used GarageBand, but from what I hear it's a pretty decent entry level DAW. I had a few guys tell me to use Reaper, and I've never looked back.

Neither are very expensive. Get some of both.

Ah, good point. Hadn't thought of that. My apologies if this is the case, Omerism. A knuckle-headed American over here. lol

I'm competent enough on the guitar that I can switch to just about any key I need. I might write a song in the key of E, find it too high, and switch to B. In fact, writing with a guitar helps me find my comfort zone, and helps me with melody. Caffeine and pop both kill my voice. I heard one...

Yeah, well his flag is. :( joey, you sneak! Stealing Gregg's profile pic n gittin me all confuzzled! ;) jk. My bad.
