I would think drum samples should work ok soundwise, but the problem is the mechanical sounding loops in drum machines. However, by using a real drum performance on an electronic kit to trigger the samples (provided you have very high quality samples) I think you should be able to get a...

Well Jason, I guess I did hear a few spots where the vocal was a bit "off", but knowing that these were just scratch recordings to get the ideas down, I really didn't pay it any mind. In general, I thought the vocals sounded very good, however, and although you could "autotune" some of the...

That sounds like an interesting test. How would you set something like that up? I guess you could run your output to an input, record onto a separate track and then compare the waves. But it'd be tough to compare them precisely - what do you mean by see if the file nulls?

I like your songs. Particularly "True Love". The only thing that didn't work for me was the way the vocal melody and guitar melody were exactly the same in your last song (although it might work if that melody were played as chords on an electric guitar instead). In general, however, I love...

You know, I actually was trying to take her seriously. Which is why I ran with the "playing in a church band" idea. What the heck, she wants to do Christian pop music anyway! Look, she's obviously young and enjoys music, but judging by her questions she doesn't know the first thing about how...

Trying to help bro', but you still haven't answered all the questions, which makes it hard to recommend an "everything you need" setup. Again, we still don't really know if your mic(s) are sufficient for your requirements and whether or not you have preamps yet. Also, you haven't specified if...

Exactly. I don't go to any regular church, but I've checked out a few from time to time, and one of the things I've noticed is the quality of the music in some of these modern churches are absolutely first rate. I'm talking about outstanding musicians, playing in rooms with well designed...

Who wrote those lyrics for "I hate you" - "Everyone hates you, I f***ing hate you too". OK :rolleyes: Oh well, I know that's not what you were asking about. The recording sounded well balanced and all, kind of lo-fi sounding but that's probably just the mp3. The burrito song is cool! Great...

The first time I ever tried to record anything into my computer, I used a dynamic mic with a xlr to 1/4" adapter and then into a 1/8" adapter into my soundblaster card. I'm willing to bet a good number of us started that way. I was immediately dissapointed with the results, and from that point...

Cool, sounds like a good friend. My wife bought me a Sonar upgrade for my birthday last year, she's a good friend too :) OK, so how many tracks do you need to record at once? You can get better quality on your budget if you can stick to only doing two at a time. Having to include a PC...

Was the cubase you got from your friend a legal copy that he purchased and is no longer using? Or did he just burn you a copy of his program (if he's still using it, that is pirating, whether he originally obtained it legally or not). Using legitimate software is worth it, even if for no other...

You just have to let her know who the real boss is, then get the construction underway :D

One option would be to buy a "recording bundle" like this: http://www.musiciansfriend.com/product/Recording/Computer/Hardware?sku=241481 You get your interface, monitors, mics, cables, and a copy of Cubase all in one shot. Should be within your budget (I believe 600 British pounds equates to...

Cool! Those are some serious looking stacks of gear you've got there!

Cool... Looks kinda dark in there! But it also looks like a comfortable place to work/play. Thanks for posting the pics.

Ah, you misunderstood, I wasn't referring to your reply. I actually was joking that maybe this was one of those threads where someone asked a dumb question on purpose. This post was borderline, it wasn't obvious. Here's an obvious one: https://homerecording.com/bbs/showthread.php?t=197063...

Looks like the real question is, "should he trust you?". Come on man, you placed the bid, do the right thing. There'll be another chance to buy the other gear.

OK, I'm no expert and don't often comment on lyrics in the songwriting forum. However, I did read your lyrics and listened to your recording, and have to say I agree with ido1957. "This me" sounds kind of unnatural and I think the phrase is just to short to fit in properly with the tune. I do...

Wow, nice! That song rocks, good sounds and everything is crystal clear. Enjoyed it a lot!

Looks like you made a good start on your lyrics :D
