Thanks very much. I believe , if they are running this Challenge like the others, that we have to wait until November 1 before we comment on lyrics. Then we will comment on everyone who enters so that we each get many sets of input and viewpoints......unless the rules changed in my absence. I...

Not a lot of grins or smiley icons attached to this one. I got a tune in my head and scratched it out this morning in 15 minutes. (It probably shows!) I will have time to rework it or throw it away after it sits for a couple of days and I look it over again. In any event, consider me on board. I...

Fantastic! I think it's fantastic that you have picked up on this. If I have the time I will get something written and submitted. Emptiness.......Now my mind is beginning to whir. Great to hear from you. I hope things are well for you in 'down under' land. Dave Oops! Thought I was PMing. Sorry.

Challenge?? Challenge??? Ooooh. It's GREAT to see that people are still working at challenges here. I have been gone for a long time due to the vagaries of life but will return in December. In the meantime, could someone bounce me to the latest Challenge and I might give it a go? (Yes... I...

I have 24 analog outs on the HDR24. I will check to see if I can fire out time code through a midi connection. Thanks for the help. I will crawl around behind the rack and see what I can find in the way of a midi port. Thanks again, Dave.

Very true. In fact, after my 1/2 stereo outs went kaput I used the 3/4 channels for mixdown for a couple of years until I bought a different system. I still use the 488 now and again. It gives good sound and is quick and easy to use. Best of luck with yours. You will likely have MANY hours of...

Possible answers? Bumpsadaisy. Any ideas guys? Can the tracks be sent to PT one at a time and then sync'd some way there? When I tried that with my old machine in Cubase there was always an issue of timing after the first minute or so even though I would line them up perfectly at the start...

Gear Typical signal path to record SM7->UA LA610->Mackie HDR24 Typical Mixdown is: Mackie HDR24->Older Mackie VLZ Pro console->Aux sends/returns->Console levels->Stereo outs->mbox 2 pro (New gear)->pro tools Prior to this I used the same mixdown path but went stereo through an Audigy Z into...

I am not certain that the title is phrased correctly but here is what I need to do. I have a 24 track HD system that I record to. I also have a 16 track reel to reel. All of my outboard gear is hooked to the aux sends off my analog console. In the past I mixed with the board to stereo and sent...

Pardon my prolonged absence from the forum. I have been arse deep with the alligators of life. I HAVE been playing lots of music but it has all been out amongst the living and not in the studio. Writing has been on hold save for a few snippets here and there which I write early in the mornings...

It worked out fine for Tom Lehrer. For me, it's rather nice to see an artist that isn't 'tortured' for a change. Keep it up. It's you. You will always write you better than you write someone else.

Rayc, geck, jj, Joseph, Jeff - Thanks much for your kind words. Life is crazy until the 20th of the month or so. After that it will only be busy. The heart line and the bridge were both troublesome areas for me and your observations here seem to agree. I will rework them while I am on the road...

Understood completely. I, for one, have plenty of songs with "bad hair days" for photos. Oddly enough, it's some of those tunes which I like best in the long run. None of them have long intros though.....:o

I like the... ...simple straightforward guitar work that goes with this tune. Very clean and very appropriate. The vox is also well done but I might try dropping every other harmony line to give it a bit more contrast if it were mine. Still....the harmonies are tight and pitch-on just like they...

Sick World I liked your use of pans especially in the early going. This recording is much wider than most we hear and that is meant to be taken in a good way. Your use of many simple instrumental parts to create a bigger picture is well crafted. As far as your vox is concerned.......you are...

Tranquil indeed I get a great feeling of summer through the entire song. The lyrics provide a nice counterpoint and prophecy that summer can't be kept much longer. I love it when music compliments vox and vice-versa. The attack/gain on the instrumental guitar is a bit bright for my taste but...

on, two,THREE,four Hey geck. I have been busy as stated in my only other post in the last week. I am now getting to some of the things I enjoy....like listening to great music. This qualifies in a big way. I especially like your emphasis on the third beats. It sets the song apart in a good...

....is when inspiration always slaps me. I have WAY TOO MUCH going on right now to give any time to my own music but slapped this one out QAD tonight. It is written for a friend. Two mics, one take, crap in a box production wise but you get the idea. You may hear it here. For You c.Dave...

Definitely vertical Yeah the pic is worth a grand. Definitely use the vertically aligned anchors though. I have had similar issues on even high end mandolins when using the horizontal anchors. If there aren't enough verticals then put two strings on the same anchor. If the same string (IE One...
