    Writer's Block. How do YOU deal?

    Inspiration for lyrics is totally random and unexpected. Yesterday I was all stressed up because of a physics test I had today and just out of nowhere I grab my pen an start writing some lyrics. Today, that I'm more "relaxed", I got absolutely no inspiration, don't even feel like listening to...

    song composing questions

    who me? I made a post in the mp3 clinic and another in the voice and singing where I posted some songs of mine. about the many ways of writing a song. Personally its easier for me to shape a song and adjust it to some chords rather than adjusting chords to a song. So I start by the hardest...

    Guide to home recording - is it worth buying a book?!

    I determined to get that book... the only problem is that its still sold out. The good news is that its a book stand in the middle of a mall I go through everyday (because I can take a short cut through it) so I check the books everyday, some days more than once. So once I find that little red...

    Guide to home recording - is it worth buying a book?!

    I've been struggling to find that book online but it's nearly impossible since I don't know the author or an accurate title. I think its called "guide to home recording" and it has a red cover. I can't find it but I've seen this once in the same store Ilustrated Recording Handbook by Ronan...

    Guide to home recording - is it worth buying a book?!

    A quick question, as simple as that. I saw a book the other day about home recording. Seemed to cover the basics and showed some interesting details. I can get my recordings done fine but there's always room for improvement. The costs 17 euros (24.4528 U.S. dollars). Would it be worth it? I...

    Review my vocal skills

    Thanks Absolutepower : ) I appreciate your kind words. One of the things that always bothered me was the fact that I recorded a song and when I played it back my voice sounded weird and I didn't like it, I thought (do people ear THIS when I talk??? my voice sounds much better the way I ear it...

    Review my vocal skills

    thanks for the constructive critics :) I do have a few questions, so to answer to your points. 1- quite true... I'm working on it but it takes time and it's not easy. Though I think there's one song in the medley where I'm quite conformable and get a pretty good sound from my voice, not sure...

    Rocket Powered British Snail

    Thanks for the suggestion (specially for being so quick, wow), I edited the first post a little you might want to read it again. hum... I'm intrigued with the panning suggestion... I'm recording as mono... because I have an Alesis IO 2 express and I plug my guitar in it directly or sometimes...

    Why did you start singing?

    Mines a rather funny story, I used to gather with 2 of my friends (another guitarist and a bassist) we used drum tracks and jammed over them or simple loops and we always stuck to our instruments. One fine day in one of our jams I just said to myself "why don't I start singing?" so I took a...
