    acoustic tune for critique

    Real nice, all around. Really well done Andy. Great vocal control, pleasant guitar sound, and the flute/whistle in the background brings me back to the "Karate Kid" days. Nice mix. Just goes to show, that you don't need a lot of gear to put out a nice quality recording. Control of dynamics...

    New Concept / Song Demo

    Hey guys, I've got a song I'm working on. My guitar skills lack, but I'd like input on the vocal melody, and lyrics. My voice is a little rough on this track due to being up for 30+ hours... Does this do anything for you guys? This isn't posted for mix critique, as I'm not at that point...

    Q & A Session with Obedia?

    I'm always open to hear about new and improving products, as long as I don't feel like the whole point of the Q&A is to try and convince me that their product is the new hottest DAW that everyone needs to have in their studio :) Time will only tell that answer! I'm up for it!

    She's safe on 3 studs, 2 3" bolts on each bracket.

    let me see your studio!

    Just a couple more.. Pics of the racks, messy cables, makeshift live room, and vocal booth. Work in progress, but it still jams as is!

    Senseless Touch (Looking for suggestions)

    So I've been working on a few songs and I thought id try my first post in this catagory... Its unfinished, and in worktape/concept form. I use guitar for songwriting purposes, I can't play to click! and yes.. I know it's out of tune and sucks :P "Senseless Touch" (Verse1) I woke up this...

    Belie (Rely) (An original heavy-ish song)

    Sorry, I probably should have called them BGV's. I was in hiphop land all day, we commonly call BGV's adlibs. As far as the vibrato comment.. By definition, vibrato is a pulsating effect in an instrumental or vocal tone produced by slight and rapid variations in pitch. When you sing, and your...

    Gospel Track - You Our God (Please Review)

    I agree, it is a bit busy.. I'm working on that! As far as the first poster, I also agree the the kick sounds like crap... But this is what the customer "wanted" :( They didn't like any attack or crisp punch... So that's what they get I guess. I'll work on finding a happy medium. As far as...

    Belie (Rely) (An original heavy-ish song)

    Man what a fun song! Really cool punk rock vibe to it. I like the guitar tone a lot. And the vocals in the chorus are really carnival-ish. I like it! Here is what I think so far... The drums can be turned up a bit, maybe made a little thicker as well? The vocal adlibs in the the chorus...

    No sound on CD with Pro Tools LE 8

    My understanding is that WMA is Microsoft's version of Apple's AAC files. They are both compressed (aka "lossy") audio formats, much like MP3's. Formats like WAV and FLAC are loss-less, and uncompressed. Second to that, not all CD players support playback of .mp3, .aac or .wma files, as they...

    Smoothing fx sends

    I'd try cutting everything past 4k with a low pass filter after the delay & lightly compress after that.

    How do you mix for Car Stereo EQ Settings?

    iPods work good too, just make sure you have the EQ setting on "flat" so you get an accurate representation of your work. I was told that even with a flat EQ on the iPod, they still color the sound a bit. That was my only concern. I definitely put completed mixes on my iphone & ipod.

    Work In Progress - Gravity

    Nice track! Sounding good Chili! I like especially like the piano part in it, it really adds some life and character to the song, and keeps it flowing. The lyrics are well written as well. My only suggestion at this point would be to consider compressing the bass a little more to help try...

    Client wants snare to sound like cannon

    Did he literally mean he wanted his snare to sound like a cannon? Or was he using it as some kind of figure of speech? Could he be talking about the old 70's or 80's snare cracks that are explosive and drowning in verb? Some things to try... Duplicate the top-snare track... pitch shift it...
