hmmm... don't know.... but I think this guy is dutch....

I'm looking for new ways to write songs--so this is a great thread...let it breathe. My standard way to write is to start with my guitar and play with chords, or guitar melodies, and develop song parts (verses, chorus, prechorus, bridge, whatever). Then, once I've got song parts all strung...

I love dutch harmony... :D

track hot? For the "track hot" side of the bleachers...Do you recommend tracking with compression to get a hotter signal and prevent clipping? I've been tracking a little less hot to a digital multitracker, and then later, boosting up the volume and applying compression where necessary in my...

psmith - thanks for the kind words on my songs. As for the single note guitar lines (I assume you're referring to the solos)... well, I guess that's just a guitarist's weakness. If there's no one to say no, hell, I'm taking a solo! :D LI Slim - good detail on compression. It's especially...

Big Kahuna, I downloaded your cymbal samples, but they don't work. Some error about the file. Are they 24 bit samples? I only have a 16 bit sound card. Pete

2 Dudes Yep... you can get those samples at: http://www.2dcd.com on the homepage, click on "Download Sounds" Pete

Jags - This is a really nice tune. I listened to it twice. I loved the vocal outro with the bells and acoustic strumming-- very cool, and nice harmonies. I like the tempo and volume changes through out the song, and it's interesting rhythmically-- very creative, and I'm going to keep that in...

Wide Awake - your post slipped in there as I was writing my reply... thanks for your suggestions. Drums were in Fruity Loops, using 2 dudes samples ... interesting comment on the crash cymbal. Is it that the sample is too harsh or loud, or that it doesn't fit into the context of the song? I'm...

LI Slim and Cyan - Thanks for listening and taking the time to make suggestions. This is really helpful. I'm a little uncomfortable with the vocals, since I'm not a singer. I'm happy to hear that it hits "pleasant" on your rating meter! What do you recommend for compression on vocals? I'm...

welcome Hey Rudd - welcome to BR8 ownership. We exchanged emails on this, right? Anyway-- I believe that I told you this via email, but you should also check out the BR8 forum on Yahoo groups: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/BR-8 For some reason, the forum has been down the last couple...

With my new mp3.com page alive and kicking, I was hoping I could get some feedback on two new songs. I'm particularly interested in comments on the acoustic guitar sound-- I think it's a tricky instrument to record and mix. The first song is called "Good Luck John", and the other is called...

#7 I'm with you there on #7, Bruce. To these untrained ears, sample #7 really felt like it was moving air through my speakers. The others sounded flatter in comparison-- 7 really jumps out at you a bit more without being edgy. Thanks for doing that for us. Pete

Pugs - I think you should follow your dream. The happiest people in this world are the ones who do something that they love. The important thing, however, is that you need to understand the reality of your dream. You're doing the right thing asking these questions. Keep in mind that you're...

fruity I've recently become a huge Fruity Loops fan, to the point where I'm still enthusiastic enough to post on this topic whenever I see it here. This weekend, I put together some GREAT sounding drum tracks. I'm not a drummer, I don't work for Fruity Loops incorporated, but let me tell...

2 dudes I haven't bought the 2 dudes CD, but I believe that I will. I've used their free download samples on a couple songs, and I love them. The drums sound real... much better than other things I've found out there. And you can rationalize the cost away-- $99 2 dudes + $50 fruity loops =...

I would consider Creed mildly famous. But I wouldn't consider the guitarist famous-- who is he? I guess that's what I'm looking for -- who has a really well known, famous guitar sound, playing a PRS? So far, all we've got is: 1 - Guitarist from Tiger Lily 2 - Alanis Morissette's guitarist 3...

creed guy Hey, I'm watching VH1, and I think I just spotted the guitarist from Creed playing a black PRS. Ok, thanks for listening.

H2H - hanging out with Nathalie, that's cool. Is she a freak or what? I have to admit, as I'm sitting here thinking about it (and not working), I like the guitar on Tigerlily. But it's more to do with the playing style than actually liking the sound of the guitar. I think she uses some...

What famous guitarists play PRS guitars? I think that the guitarist on Nathalie Merchant's Tiger Lily was playing a PRS--I know, I know... but my wife likes it....besides, it kind of makes my point... Who else (besides Santana, who gets paid to play it)???
