There's a singer nowadays who's voice makes my brain feel like it's being shoved through a cheese grater. I don't even want to mention her name, because knowing about her is bad for my cred. Anyway, she's in a sitcom with her daddy, and her name rhymes with Wiley Virus. She sounds like a very...

I voted "room", though I probably could have picked all of them. I'm more confident in my abilities however, than my cheap-ass microphones, and sound card. My "monitors" are the speakers I've listened to music on from my teens until now.

Dave Mustaine's nasal snarl gets on my nerves, and Dani Filth's chalkboard scratch is unlistenable.

Shit, I didn't know I had any replies on this one, so let me think back a couple months... The crackling noise is from vinyl. Some of the drum sounds are sampled from LPs. As for the vocals, my mics are cheap junk, so that might have something to do with it, but I'll look into some reverb.

Or hookers.

An important computer component just crapped out on me last week, so I am damn grateful to have my trusty old TASCAM 4-track cassette machine, and my rather fine TEAC mixdown deck.

I'll use headphones and speakers, and sometimes even my little cheapo portable speakers. I can have them all hooked up the mixer at once, so why not? I try to find the best balance between them all. That way I can get the best mix that my equipment will allow. Heck, I'll check it out with my...

Makes sense to me: Years ago I read a book on home recording which said to use any speakers you're used to listening to music on (if you don't have/can't afford monitors). So, I use the speakers from a home stereo system that I've had for half of my life (the stereo's long gone, but the...

I had a cracked nut on my bass. I just glued the broken piece back in. Problem solved. Of course, if you're missing a piece of yours, that won't help.

I flippin' love it!

This thread is exactly what I wanted to find on here, and it was at the very top of the list. Thanks, Harvey.

The only audio format I buy now is vinyl. I also still have my first TASCAM 4-track.

Hey, I don't come here to throw my attitude around; I just thought you were being a smartass and wanted to give you some in return. As for this cave you speak of, I've never heard of it. I normally just come on here to learn techniques and to share ideas with others in the online community...

I didn't look at the date it was posted beforehand. From now on I will only listen to songs that are 5 months old or less. Goodbye record collection, hello pop radio.

If I didn't know about it until today then it's new to me, yeah?

I really like this tune. I'm an oldschool metalhead, and some of the picking reminds me of Jimmy Page.

Analog Revival!!!;) There'll be a big, clunky-looking Portastudio that records 16 tracks onto a VHS cassette. I'll be really freakin' heavy and be built right in to a big suitcase.

I try out my recordings on just about every system I have access to. I'll try it in my wife's stereo and computer, the kids' computer, a my cheap earbuds, my small cheap portable speakers, and of course the automobile. The only problem with the latter these days, is that I now drive an vehicle...

Title: Starsong Production date: June 2010 My daughter and I wrote this pop song together. We made a crappy tape of it last year, but I re-recorded it recently so she could sing it at her school talent show. She was in Grade 3. The original had all the lyrics in it (not that you could really...

I totally agree. I want to hear other people's opinions of what I've done, as any constructive criticism is only going to help.
