i think that everyone has a natural/intuitive vibrato (not that it's there at birth, just the preferred singing style/anatomical differences can define it)-while i can do vibrato in a few ways, i often find myself synching with freddie mercury while singing along to "we are the champions".

trademark/copyright/etc has only rudimentary basis on actual government paperwork. the real monetary/etc things are decided in court. parody tends to be unlitigable, but someone with the same (or even a very similar) name/appearance/etc can get hurt badly in courts, because the point of the...

g2sb, i'm guessing you're not a member. not only does waldo (the person whose brainchild is nowhereradio) come by here, but i got an email from him not more than 2 weeks ago on changes/etc. he's a busy man, but i trust him as a professional who is really trying to help out the little guy...

your work is already copyrighted by the action of creating it, in this country and many others. that said, if you're thinking of going commercial with any of it, it is reasonable to go through the red tape and pay the fee. submit everything you can at once, both in the most extensive form you...

if you're using "printable" cd-r's, i'd imagine that some places in your area (especially any that do cd replication or large amounts of recording/small batch production, maybe even some screenprinters) or within a reasonable vicinity will own a cd printer-basically an inkjet that prints on said...

hastily, with pending remorse. i slap my stuff together as quickly as i can stand to. maybe because of time constraints, or ADD, i'm not sure. actually, i guess this is kind of how i write, too. i like to take my mixing work (at least at my extreme novice level) the same way-put it together in...

you CANNOT accurately monitor music to come out of speakers via headphones. you may well with experience find that you can roughly predict how a soundfield will be over phones, but they simply do not interface with our auditory systems the same way that speakers do. it would be prudent to do...

my take would definately be to take separate tracks and experiment with the levels/effects/etc. you may also want to rather lightly pan them, or if you're looking for a more chaotic in-your-face listen, pan them hard when both voices are going on.

it is possible (though i consider said possibility remote) to master an album with garbage speakers and have it sound good. however, there is no way to possibly produce consistent results in the face of critical listening (read: listening with something that isn't garbage and actually paying...

bleyrad, i'd pay seriously good money to be able to do that. imagine the skills an amateur could learn by having known good tracks to mix. mixing is what makes recordings into a real viable transferrable medium. noone wants to set up 16 speakers around the room and buy cd's to play (er, aside...

reason is heavy stuff. prepare for a lot of learning if you want to be serious. for sequenced beats, i like impulse tracker, but i'm also quite mad.

my best results to date have been x-y micing + direct board electronic input for my epi E/A. the epi is a little thin at the bottom end (thin body, feedback-lessening oval soundhole), and the line out really helps to balance that out.

not only are guitars (even acoustics) difficult to capture in a useful true binaural (read: native full soundfield stereo image) sense, but the average listener cannot usefully discern multiple directions of sound from said guitar in most situations (exceptions to this being actually playing the...

i only have muscle museum, but there is some serious brilliance on that album. muse is typically compared to radiohead because of the singer's voice somewhat resembling thom yorke's. their style definately differs, though.

which garage days? i believe there have been 3 officially released. the signature metallica guitar tone (which i think really hit its peak in the MOP/justice era)is easily done with a very powerful amp, gain rather cranked, and the mids scooped, at least in general. there's a little more to...

i have a crate vc20 (12" tube amp-weighs a ton for an amp its size) that sounds very nice. not like a fender or marshall, and not extremely versatile, but very ear-pleasing. worst amp i've ever heard? a fender twin knockoff mfgd by yamaha in the mid-70's or so. made fender's "icepick highs"...

i certainly can't speak for differences in perception, but if it's half as good as you say, i will likely be rather impressed. that said, all of the taylors i've played have been spruce-topped, and sounded way too thin. cedar tends to sound warmer right off the bat, and "open up" less. 250 bucks...

walmart always has the freshz jamz yo. TV told me so. walmart must, therefore, have quality mics at great prices!

not having compression or a quality preamp for recording vocals, not knowing how to work a mic all that well, and ending up with huge level differences and obvious changes in the recorded sonic space due to the audible room echo changes from my head being closer or farther from the mic :rolleyes:

i like a marshall guv'nor to get marshall-like tone out of a fender. that, or if one wants a big sound and is willing to pay some bucks, a mesa boogie v-twin. those things are amazing.
