I was listening with earbuds on my laptop. I don't know if it was mono, shouldn't have been unless the recording was. If you put up a revised version I will give it another listen.

I used to get the "why do you need that one, what does it do that the others don't?" when I would buy something I had more than one of. Well, my wife is a geologist and has a rock collection. Years ago I went to a rock and mineral show with her. She was showing me this rock and telling me how...

No, it could come up a db or so. No, some of the lyrics are very soft and I could not understand them. When I have this problem, I either manually do volume automation on the vocal track, or do it with Melodyne if the vocal needs other processing. Not really. Hard to say on the other items...

What do you not like? I think it sounds fine but there is a lot going on. I'm listening on ear buds and the thing that is annoying to me, is a periodic drone in the background. I can't tell if it's a bass or a rhythm guitar. Maybe simplifying (thinning) the mix will open it up.

I also have a V67G, hard not to like a less than $100 mic that sounds good! I bought it after seeing Harvey's test of cheap mics and used it for several years and still have it. Now I have a NT1 as my primary vocal mic, and have also used it to record acoustic guitar. I'm very happy with the NT1...

Glad to hear that. I had cataract surgery about 8 years ago and went from 2/400 and 20/600 to 20/20 in both eyes. They can really can do amazing things these days. Good luck!

I really like the song Rich. How are you recording the guitar? I assume stereo pair, if so, what is the mic placement? I have the same mics (M5s and NT1) and I haven't tried a stereo pair yet.

I like the song. The two things I didn't like were the vocal panned right, I think it would have been better centered, and the guitar panned left was a little loud. The vocal level seemed a little low, but that could had been from the panning.

I worked for a large automotive electronics company with a manufacturing plant in CN. After visiting our plant and speaking to our engineers and vendors, I can tell you without a doubt, that virtually every manufacturer in CN will make parts for you, on your tooling, and turn around and sell the...

I have the Sony MDR-7506 also. Works well for me tracking guitar or vocals.

I like the song. The martin sounds fine in the mix.

Practice makes perfect. Just practice singing any time you can, and a wide variety of different songs. It will improve your vocal abilities and range. Up until a few years ago, I never sang, I just played guitar. Then I got interested in writing songs and performing covers of songs I like...

Reaper comes with a plugin called "ReaTune" that works pretty good if you don't need to do any major editing. I used it for a while before I bought Melodyne.

Max out the ram. I went from 16 to 32 in my Dell, and it made a big difference.

You just have to find your vocal niche Lazer. A few weeks ago, someone posted a cover of You Wear It Well by Rod Stewart that needed a vocal. I think you might do OK on that.

I like it, I kept waiting for the vocals.

Me too. I got one of the super cheap (free) Rogue guitars Guitar Center was giving away when you bought a 12 pack of D'addario strings, and much to my surprise, it sounds really good! I have a couple of Guild D-25's and I really like the way they sound, but the Rogue was a pleasant surprise.

Does it have a compensated bridge? I have a D'Angelico that had a piezo transducer under a compensated bridge and Am always sounded weird. Like it was out of tune, but the individual notes were in tune. I couldn't figure it out. I finally removed the transducer and installed a straight bridge...

Use gasoline on the tacky rubber. Soak a shop rag and wipe the sticky rubber off. Once the sticky feeling is gone, wipe off the gasoline residue with 99% alcohol.

I use D'Addario phosphor bronze EJ16 on my acoustics, and have for many years. They last a long time (probably because I'm too lazy to change them). After they have been played a few months the tone doesn't seem to change much anymore. I change them when they start looking bad.
