Thanks Gecko zzed, I'll give that a go.

Thanks anyway Robus. I might try mjpphotos idea though before shelling out on a new PC. Being an old PC I could probably get the RAM fairly cheap and if it's still no good for recording it'll make a decent office PC. I'll check if there's enough slots. Thanks again guys.

Sorry Ashcat, you must have posted as I was typing. I'll try the glue thing it might help in the meantime. I did put the buffers up quite high but it didn't seem to make any difference. Thanks.

Thanks Steve. I did try the rendering idea and it did seem to be OK. Not an ideal solution long term though. Even my girlfriend said get a new computer and offered to go halves, so I don't know what I'm hanging around for. So it's off to the yard sales, $10 a piece. :-D

Thanks for taking the time to reply Gecko zzed, much appreaciated. Yes, that's what I thought at first, I tweaked with the crossfades, fade ins/out etc., but the crackles sound when playing the guitar track solo'd at the points where the drum loops join (even the loops are not audible), and...

Hi Not posted here for a long time. Hopefully I can get some advice. I have a Reaper project with a couple of tracks containing 2 and 4 bar drum loops repeated over most of the song and one or two three or four bar guitar parts scattered throughout the project. I also have a bass guitar and...

Thanks Rob. I wasn't familiar with those bands so I checked out a couple of things on Youtube. Especially liked the Big Star stuff I heard. I do try to go for a late 60s early 70s feel on things. Thanks again.

Thanks guys

Thanks for taking the time to comment guys. Greg, I think you've pulled me up for my drum sound before. I'm realtively new to drumming (but I can't keep using that excuse forever) I think they're better than they used to be, but the toms are 'concert toms' I believe they're called, with no...

Great song, nice vocals, some nice guitar playing. Drum wide panning is unusual but I like it - I like playing around with stereo. Only critisim is that the percussion sounds a little busy during the acoustic guitar solo, but other than that I can't really fault it. Nice work (was relieved it...

Hi all, I would appreciate it if you could take a listen and give me any opinions etc. Many thanks in advanced. http://soundcloud.com/artful-jester/i-made-it-rain

I'm no expert, but I thought it was very good. Main niggles are probably personal taste, but are the kick drum being a little clicky, and I personally prefer a little more rattle on the snare. I thought the drum on the intro was alright. All in all though very good.

Like it. Some cool bass near the start. (I would pretended to think that it was a cover by some other artist as well, but I just couldn't beat Bieber).

Agree with above, that the vocals are missing some top end and the cymbals are a bit prominent, but the vocals missing top end is the most important bit. Liked the song, it really reminded me of The B-52's and I really like The B-52's.

When I first started this I was so much trying to make it not sound like Your Time Is Gonna Come, by Led Zeppelin that I missed that it was turning into Sweet Home Alabama. The guitar in the break before the guitar solo was originally slapping the chords like on YTIGC as a nod to Zeppelin. I was...

Sorry, can't even see a link? :(

Thanks for the comments guys. I've tried to remove some boominess, narrowed the drums a little and tried a new vocal take. Look forward to your comments. http://soundcloud.com/artful-jester/moving-on-again-vocal-take-2

:facepalm: I may have another go at the vocals. Thanks for listening and feedingback ;)

I love that bit that comes in at 0:31 for the first time, I can almost hear Sting singing away there. Nice bass tone. What it needs is some orchestral hits here and there :D.

It all sounds well recorded. Nice vocals - could come up a tad in my opinion - remind me a little of McCartney in places. Only criticism is the drums could use a little variation, it sounds a little like you just set a beat on a drum machine and let it run for the whole song. Maybe stop the...
