    A Question to All CD Buyers : Jacket or Jewel Box?

    yeah the GSBE is a quality digipak, id prefer a digipack everytime as everyone i own seems to have fantastic artwork. mind you in my opinion i think that pink floyd have the most amazing packaging. if the music is good enough though it doesn't really matter, but it does add flavour to the...

    A recording of my riot song, tell me what you think.

    just listening to it now man....on my second run of it.......not to keen on the horns, especially in the break in the middle as they seem to drift out of key. the vocals are good, the whole flow of the song has a leonard cohen feel to me (which is a compliment). theres no real hook to the...

    Problems with vocal range

    it is possible that you could have damaged your vocal chords, it maybe a good idea to get checked out by an ENT specialist. I had a friend that lost some of their vocal range and it turned out they had an underactive thyroid gland, a couple of months after taking the medication they were back...

    Write drunk/Record sober?

    i'm a million times more creative when sober, i use to think i was a better writer when drunk, but that was just the beer talking. there's only so must stuff you can write about when drinking and if you are a heavy drinker it usually just becomes self loathing sh*t after time anyway. dont be...

    Softsynth sequencing.

    Softsynth sequencing.

    it sounds like your doing something wrong. i use cubase sx2 and can have multiple softsynths. what softsynths are you using??? check that you have set them up correctly and you have selected the correct channel on the midi info on the left of the screen as some synths only work on chn 1.

    Songwriting, creativity and lyrics...

    its actually quite a difficult question to answer because everyone is different and has there own individual way of writing. its sounds however that you have already found a way you can write hence your first song. practice helps, just write anything, it doesn't matter if its rubbish, you are...

    inputs?

    hi there, i honestly don't know that much about this sort of stuff, what i do know however is that behringer mixers are rubbish, i have a lesser model which i no longer use, and i think i will bin it rather than stick it on ebay and let some other poor unfortunate buy it!!!

    Familiarity Breeds Contempt?

    it use to happen to me alot, i'd just get sick of a song because writing all the parts, arranging, mixing, lyrics etc was such a strain. i consider myself a songwriter more than anything and found that building the whole song up from a simple guitar and vocal, or piano and vocal really...

    brass section?

    sometimes i use a string section in my compositions to add a bit more weight to certain parts of a song. i build this up (via midi keyboard and samples) using two violins, a viola, and a cello using the same principles as you would if you were writing a string quartet. for a song i'm working...
