    Audition

    I couldn't hear the MP3 but I vote for "go for it". My original audition was for some very talented school friends that were more impressed with my ability to learn quickly than my skills. 15 years and a few personnel changes made me a reasonable bass player/back-up singer. After a few years...

    New ballad - "When You're Here"

    A Keeper! Loved this song and everything about it. I agree the acoustic on the right is a little offsetting but I can live with that. The solo has a great feel to it and the closeness kind of sets it up for the smooth build. Just great. Like your voice on this one. Fits across several kinds of...

    Can Rock Music be Authentic within a Home Studio Environment?

    Oops, more of the last post Sorry, playing real instruments usually had killer first albums because the tunes were The best of their live act. Then the big Money rolls in and the big time producers make the product to sell, not so authentic.

    Can Rock Music be Authentic within a Home Studio Environment?

    I'm one of those 60yr old dads! I was reflecting that a lot of the "albums" I loved were made by studio players that stepped up to producing themselves using their engineering smarts. Great talents with experience equals excellence much of the time. As for authentic, consider lots of bands (with...

    high-priced Gibbies

    I have a Les Paul Recording Bass from the early 70s. Thanks to my stubby fingers it's short scale was perfect. Played it for years and never was comfortable with Fenders so it's all I used to gig with. Got it from a buddy going on tour for $300 and now it's worth 10 times that. When I recently...

    Room Full of Strangers

    Seems I'm always late on replying but have to agree with Bruthish. I enjoy your performance so much I don't listen critically. The version I heard sounds like a winner to me. Maybe a little more cowbell!

    What is your microphone measuring stick?

    just an opinion... I'm definitely no expert and do not have enough equipment to do any comparing. A few years ago as a mic noob I made myself a spreadsheet and every time I read an interview or discussion about mics I added them to the spreadsheet with a general description of the sound from...

    Intrestering question. how about never stop learning everything. i've done a little of everything in the music field and all that knowledge was gained as I needed it and came in handy. My cousin used to be the local sound guy, engineer, my cousin used to be the local sound guy, engineer...

    Hypochonria

    I really like this. It reminds me of the Beatles when they started experimenting with their songs and production. It sounds radio ready to me. I'd like to hear your other songs. The lyrics make me think of two of my kids that have disabilities. People see them having something wrong but they are...

    hello everyone + big first question

    End of thread? Looks like the original problem has been diagnosed and solutions offered. Great! I just had to add that my brother and son are licensed gun dealers so I have access to try almost any gun in every caliber. Little brother really knows his gun stuff but he's no "loose" nut!:eek:

    East West Hollywood Orchestra.

    Steen, my opinion, that song is great. The rest of the conversation... No experience so no opinion. Learning a lot! LoL

    Newbie: How to Get Started in the Music Industry as a Band or Artist?

    You are assuming our past experiences are nonexistent and are of no use to an eager beginner. Play for the love of music and performing and if fame and fortune follows you probably earned it with hard work. It's hard to document how to start a career in a few sentences.

    To Wah or not to Wah......

    I'm a little late in the game but wanted to tell Rami he did a great job. I was going to suggest something similar to the final mix with the wah guitar accenting certain parts. Best of both worlds. That final mix ROCKS!

    Glass Vocal booth

    Kind of on topic, I recently watched "Mind Games" on TV and they asked peoples opinion on two cake samples. The cakes were priced $15 and $55. Everyone picked the more expensive cake even though they were identical. Even after being let in on the "secret" Most still said the more expensive cake...

    Throw That Cat Away

    Liked the song. Wasn't in a metaphoric mood so I wondered where you threw the cat to. Liked the sound and vibe. Different.

    Old Drop Ceiling Panels.

    I used those panels with some quilting batting for a little contour and covered the works in burlap. Some scrap wood for mounting and I-bolts with picture wire for hanging in the corners. Not sure how accurate the results were but it tamed the room. I got all the first reflections then went for...

    Rate my wife's singing?? See link.

    Interesting... Give her a break! I would rather hear a voice with character than Autotuned perfection (Special effects excepted!). There's enough of that going around. A little work goes a long way. I think there have been lots of good suggestions here and I agree the local choir would be...
