Well, looks like I too need a new partner The colloboration that I was working on is proceeding at something less than a snail's pace. I hope that something will eventually happen, but I don't anticipate anything soon. I wouldn't mind a 'new' partner as well - what should I do? The Dreaded...

I don't know that either guitar sound was that bad... I did like the first one better. Sometimes that kind of sound works - Billy Bragg's earlier stuff, for example. It sounds like a board tape from a VERY quiet club - I like it as it was.

Very good, very different... And I never thought I would hear someone here who reminded me slightly of Rory McLeod! Like everyone else, I don't hear any pumping, but I too am not listening on $10,000 monitors. I do hear a kind of 'spitty' sound on the lead vocals - I can just see a line of...

I only heard a few seconds... I was hoping to hear that part where the organ chord/solo goes on for like a minute. And the funky breakdown after. Is there more? The second time it worked better. That is funny. The vibes especially. Still want to hear the organ solo part.

Confessions of a lurker I lurk. Often, after a few posts, most of my thoughts are already addressed by other people, as in this thread. Ordinarily, I would read, laugh or learn, and then go on to the next thread. If by chance I had some weird thought that no one had previously posted, I...

Well holy cow... I'm glad you were looking through the backpages.... But overall, I'm a songwriter, that's what floats my boat. I know my timing is terrible, and the playing is questionable at best, the singing thing is the result of a huge mental block ( I sing fairly well until the red light...

I'm In... although this scares the hell out of me. And who ever gets stuck with me. But what the heck. The dreaded home page

While I do agree about the lack of bottom end, I do have to wonder - is that the sound you were going for? It does sound like a 60's AM sound. I just put it up against 'wouldn't it be nice' and 'god only knows' from the Pet Sounds CD, and the bottom end was pretty similar. Actually you had...

Tee-Hee Hm. Mr. Jake-owa. You were pretty polite about it, but I got the feeling you didn't think much of the singing. You're right about it not being very good, but I am truly delighted to piss you off that much. That really made my day! The timing issues that Stratomaster points out are...

Well, I didn't hear the first version... And these comments are mostly personal opinion, of course. It seems to me that there is too much reverb on the drums - the reverb sound itself sounds okay, but maybe too much of it. I DON'T think the vocals are mixed too high. But the synth line that...

I think there are some EQ problems in the various instruments - the track just doesn't seem to sit well somehow. Or does it? Anyway, might be the equipment! :D Monitored with a home stereo. Drum tracks are soundfonts played from a keyboard, although I did try to keep them as realistically...

Okay, this makes me smile, mostly cause I think it's so weird. Hope that's on purpose. These are all just my opinions, keep that in mind. I have to strongly agree with the triangle sound. It reminds me of the 'suspense' music in 70's TV shows - especially the Six Million Dollar Man. It...

love the vocals, both the recording and the gruff timbre. Any song that features a train sound gets bonus points right off the top! Maybe the lead electric has too much reverb? The twang and spring reverb effect is very good, and the sound fits the song very well, but overall the whole sound...

listened to 'punch drunk' Well, the main acoustic sounds a little dull to me. More eq-ing maybe, or some double tracking? The bass seems very low - or is that other guitars e-strings? Maybe it's supposed to be that way? The electrics and their effects sound really good, particularily the...

That organ sounds really good - is it the B4 simulator? I would like to hear more of it. More backing vocals, too. The bass sounds really good to me the way it is. I have to agree on the acoustic guitar panning - maybe not so hard? For some reason the side-stick sound seems a little hollow...

since I've posted anything here. Took many months to work on things, and hopefully get a little better. Believe it or not, I HAVE read the advice of others, particularily sonusman. Still minimal eqipment - soundblaster live, soundfonts, free fx plug-ins, etc. Recording a Rode NT1, into a...

Best example of pads that I can think of... Anything by Enya. She uses almost nothing BUT pads. Her first record was pretty much a demo for the Roland D50, and a very good textbook lesson on how to use all the basic pad types. And I suppose the Moody Blues 'days of future passed' era could...

I dunno - what do you mean? Can't imagine that you are talking about audio levels - I figure you must have read/owned all the books on that already. Are you meaning getting all us non-recording engineers to get our recordings to sound louder? Actually using all that fancy compression properly...

Well, I'm not angry anymore.... And I will never write anything when I am mad ever again. Well, maybe not post things when I am mad. Writing songs when you are mad is great! I have been thinking about this, and I am ashamed to admit that I agree with most of you. Without a melody, you might...

Well, steve miller does do weird things, like make up his own words! 'pompitus of love' was always one of my favorites. Here's the words to take the money and run, minus the chorus: This here's a story about Billy Joe and Bobbie Sue Two young lovers with nothin' better to do Than sit...
