    What is this style/type/approach of blues?

    Or is there even a name for it.... Basically it starts with something like this (for example): C D# C D# F Then typically the music abruptly "stops" while a singer or solo instrument starts the melody. They typically do this alternating twice total, then on the third go round the singer...

    Making CD covers/jackets

    ? "Wallets?" btw I've been corrected, it's inserts I want, pardon. ie the front and back covers for the CD case.

    Making CD covers/jackets

    Wondering what others have done for this. I don't need help with the design, it's the actual making I'm wondering about......I'm not into paying some professional service; surely there must be some good software and someplace either in one of those OfficeMax places or online to buy the...

    "BTV solo" software

    https://btvsolo.com/solo Anyone familiar w/this? Just wondering how it's been used, general impressions, etc. Seems like a good deal for $7 (their "get it now, one-time good offer" bit :) ).....

    AT2020 : Trying this for first time with new set-up

    I think one AI will be enough. :thumbs up: Agreed, why muck around with an adaptor? Just get an AI or mixer. Not sure why you're saying get an AI vs a mixer though. Either could work fine; depends on the personal pref's of onboard controls vs "virtual" ones in a DAW.

    Has anyone paid a mixing engineer?

    Meaning you would do the mix? Then why not the mastering as well? At least give it a shot. I don't think you meant to include the word "don't" there. ;) As for finding someone who "cares," many can SAY they do and put on a good show, but it's a crap shoot as to whether they really do or...

    Searching for My First Mic

    My experience/impression is for the most part, no....but in your area, who knows? Only one way to find out. :) Would help if you were near a big city. That's been a very frustrating aspect of this for me. No, what you've done apparently is gotten into a pointless snit. Sheesh. Excuse me...

    Shure SM58s or Alternatives?

    Really? I thought the 58 was flatter for most vocal ranges.

    writing lyrics with lots of "i/me/you/we"

    "Yes and no?" What it is to me is blatantly bad advice if you're serious.

    Shure SM58s or Alternatives?

    I would normally recommend a pop filter with any mic for vocals, but as for the proximity effect, it depends on what you want. Sometimes a degree of that is desirable.

    Searching for My First Mic

    Which isn't relevant here because we aren't talking about a multitude of sources. This mic has one function for this person. Which is true of the 58 and Beta 58 (and many, many others). Except that many people neither don't have the need or desire/ability to spend more money for a "collection"...

    AT2020 and Scarlet 2i2 Low Volume

    That sounds like something I'd do lol

    writing lyrics with lots of "i/me/you/we"

    You're joking I assume...... ?? I can't imagine why. One of the big attractions for many (most?) songwriters about writing is to express their feelings, their experiences, etc etc. And generally speaking, in fact, it is by far the most logical and best topic/viewpoint available. Why would...

    Shure SM58s or Alternatives?

    https://homerecording.com/bbs/equipment-forums/microphones/ :) Might get more responses there... Sounds like the Shure 58 is the way to go (yes, right around $100). Also, based admittedly not on personal experience but the word from professionals who's judgment I trust, I second the...

    writing lyrics with lots of "i/me/you/we"

    I think you should stop worrying less about "annoying listeners" (who, let's face it, are probably on average pretty clueless musically anyway) and go with what you think works. PS - lyrics tend to be "self-indulgent" by definition. It's not inherently a bad thing. :)

    Searching for My First Mic

    Sorry but that makes no sense. If budget is an issue, opt for the 58 over the 57 (same price). And if you can spare the extra $50ish, opt for the 58 beta over the 58. But that said, the diff in mics is IMO often exaggerated quite a bit. ? So you're pimping a mic you've never used?

    Firewire port adapter.

    Then why not just by a new interface? Much cheaper :)

    Do You Like (Or Hate) Your Voice?

    Add me to the "ugh on my voice" crowd. And it's not that I have a "bad" voice, I don't think....I have a pretty good range, a good vibrato, and a clue about timing and phrasings/etc. It's just the sound of the voice itself. Hard to explain...but to me even though I'm not off key or doing...

    Do you/will you copyright your songs?

    Correct.....good point, obviously laws can vary elsewhere
