Thanks I'll check it out.

I am looking for some advice on a decent tool for simple stereo recording. A lot of times, I lug my mac to the rehearsal studio and tap off the PA to get a rough recording of rehearsals. I'd love to just grab my windows Laptop and record a stereo...hell even mono...from the PA. Any software...

Amen brother. I agree 100% on Wilson. Like anything every step of the signal chain is important, including the "thing" creating the signal? :) His vocals are hypnotic, and I don't mean to take away from them, but there is something in the mix. They play live just as well, but the _______ is not...

That's how I feel about Porcupine Tree, especially the Deadwing album. So well done.

ColdPlay was just on my mind because I heard it in the car the other day. I constantly find myself spending more time analyzing mixes now then I spend listening to the music. Kind of frustrating but that is another thread. The base configuration I am working with is drums, bass, two guitars...

Placement of instruments in the stereo field is a technique that is quickly becoming my nemesis. I'd love to see a discussion on this topic. I've been listening to some tunes lately and trying to "see how they did it", take a song like ColdPlay's Yellow. I listen and there are distinct stereo...

Any PT fans out there? I love the tonal quality of the vocals on just about everything they do. I was wondering if anyone had some insight on crafting that sound. The harmonies are so nicely blended, almost sounds like one voice. I think I hear some chorus on the voices...I think massive...

I was checking out Pro Tools the other day (I wanna step up from GarageBand), and it seems that to use Pro Tools I need to have an external Audio interface box. So two questions... 1) Is that true...do I need an external box or can I use Pro Tools with just the standard input jack on my sound...

Over the past 10 months as I have been learning the basics of mixing, I have found that right now I don't enjoy music as much as I used to, mostly because I am constantly listening for what is where, how much is there, where is there, etc. LOL. Tonight Tom Petty's Mary Jane's Last Dance came up...

Sorry about that...Now that I saw that it, it was driving me crazy too.

Sure! LOL. How did you go about it? My project started with an idea for 3 songs that work together. We've got the first one done, and the second in the works. The second is tied in to the first by sharing a rhythmic pattern of 16th notes and triplets. We repeat that phrase in both songs. Not...

Hey just a thought...I very much enjoy posting my work and getting reviews, and I love listening to other work to get ideas, and learn...but sometimes...stuff goes right over my head..."hey dude that's great, but if you _______ it would sound better." Suppose we all took passages of songs we...

Working on AN Epic I am working on a new set of tunes (I think it will be three in all) that all deal with a different viewpoint on a single topic. I am working on the music matching the emotion of the lyrics, and I am working on taking a particular melodic idea and/or rhythm pattern to be used...

Robertt8...very nice.

Thanks...I appreciate the feedback. Maybe I need hit the EQ a bit more. Come to think of it, I usually do a bit of smiley EQ on the master track, but I don't think I did it on this one...it was late.

Cool...how does the contest work?

Another SilentJ tune for your listening pleasure...This is my first mix attempt on this tune. It's pretty close, I think. I didn't spend too much time EQ'ing, and went with a natural sound. The guitar solo was a bit of fun...I won't say what I did, don't want to bias your feedback. Need some...

This is a remix of a mix of a mix of a remix, that I posted months ago. I'd love to hear feedback... http://silentjband.com/discography/mend/

For our press pack, we've decided to use a thin (half thickness) DVD case. I am having trouble finding templates for the inserts. Has anyone done this? And when you did have your CD inserts printed, where did you have it done?

Thanks for the feedback. After we did the 'real' video with the overdubbed audio, I thought it would be cool to have a rough, behind the scenes, crappy audio version. So the 'crappiness' of it was intentional. LOL. What did you guys think of the 'real' video?
