very poetic and beautiful, but it seems to be lacking structure. Seems more like poetry than a song.

I would definitely use a condensor mic. I have a sp b1, and it allows alot of detail and I have alot of different dynamics in my songs, and I can usually get a nice hot level out of it without clipping. I don't know what you mean by shock mount mic.....if you're asking if you need a shock...

I don't know much about either of these two interfaces, but I would go with the firewire option over the usb interface because the firewire will be a hell of alot faster. As for the mic, again, I don't know much about audio technica, but if You wanna get some decent sounding tracks before you go...

for the most part, it's pretty good.The only thing I don't really like is the word "sunny" in the second lne. Doesn't seem to fit well.

If you wannamake a good yet "plain jane" progression, theres a few different techniques you can use. I like to add fourths on to some of my chords. For example, if you're playing this on guitar, on your D chord, instead of playing the f sharp on your high e string, play the 3. And change up the...

Wow. Lots of posts to respond to.uhh....lets see if i can remember them. The acoustic defintely isn't a dominate instrument throught the course of the song. There's only one part where the electric guitars and bass and drums and vocals stop and it's just the acoustic guitar playing the riff for...

Thanks guys. I'm gonna try those mixing ideas, and the idea about using thin picks[ the real problem is gonna be trying not to break them,lol. I can go through 5 think picks in the course of one song]. Oh, and as for the question about how many guitars I have, I have one rhythymn guitar part...

I'm doing a sort of 3ll-ish song right now and I want to add in an acoustic guitar with my electric guitars, but I'm less concerned about hearing the pitch of the acoustic guitar, because mainly I just want hear to the rhythymic "chunk" or the strumming patterns. However, I don't want to take...

cool. I never use the limite, whether I'm playing Slayer or The Beatles. I just wanted to make sure I wasn't being totally stupid.

Really? You know, now that I think about it, I've never noticed the feature on any other amps either......Oh wel. I have a Fender Princeton Chorus, and it has a limiter knob, but only activates you use it's onboard distortion.

How often do you guys use the limiter function on your amp when recording or playing live?

As for the monitors, I've heard alot of good things about the Behringer Truth Monitors. I have some cheap M-Audio studiophile DX4. Pretty good, but my bass always seems to be louder on cd players than it did through the monitors. As for the drum question, it just just depends on the electronic...

Congratulations Spin Doctor. You've made the only thread i've ever actualy laughed my ass off at.

The past couple of times I've imported a MIDI part into cubase, at some random spot in the song, the midi tracks skip and then start playing at an icredibly fast tempo. What the heck is going on?

The Flame: Thanks. I'll check what you said out. Beezelbubba: Really? Can I get a good desktop for around 600-1000 dollars> I don't know much about computers. And no, I don't have to go laptop, though another desktop would be kinda crowded, but I could do it if it's the better option.

It seems that everybody has one of these short keyboards called MIDI Controllers. From all I can tell, all they do is let you start recording, stop recording, and play back the song. At least that's what I've observed. So do you really need one? I mean, it's not really all that much trouble just...

I've been recording on this desktop computer for about a year now. Unfortunately, it's not just dedicated to my recordings. It's the family computer, and it's getting chocked full of crap. I have to delete tons of my songs just to download a VST plug in. I'd like to save up and buy a laptop...

in my experience, 75 percent of your recorded guitar tone depends on how you teaked your amp and played the song, but just for kicks, what are you doing to it post-recording? I'm assuming you're doubling/tripling/quadrupling the guitars, right?

I'm not a big fan of room mics and using your own " room sound". I'd just use a condenser for each of them, or just two would work also, and add the reverb digitally. after recording then again, you may have a better "room sound" then I do and want to use it, but thats just my opinion.

accordian? I know they have on "Long December", but I don't think we're thinking of the same thing. This is at the begginning of "Round Here" this majestic hish pitched sound goes for a few measures, and then the guitar comes in with that little D-A-G riff.
