Thanks stonepiano,
I understand your comments about the use of "bye bye", yet I think it does work in this song. I'll post a clip and it'll make more sense I'm sure. I guess seeing lyrics written down is very different from hearing them.
Some good advice there; "...be creative..." lol.
I'll...
I listened to Vitality. Sounds real good. The harmonies are nice. The only thing I could think of is that I'd like the bass the be a little brighter, it sounds a little muddy to me. But I'm just nitpicking now and listening on cans..
the fast left right panning in the intro is really distracting. Try to get rid of the noise. I'm not particulary fond of that synth sound that comes in at 4:20 either. Also you seem to lose tempo now and then. The singing sounds a little forced, from the throat, try to relaxe while you sing...

Better put your song on nowhereradio cause most of us can't be bothered to sign in to yahoo...
Ok, here goes....
Rip them apart if you have to..
Advice on how to improve them would even be better.
Keep in my mind (as if it's not obvious) that English is not my home language..
I know the song is kinda depressing but they fit the music nicely IMHO.
Bye Bye World

Check the sound coming from your V-amp using headphones, directly plugged in the V-amp. Then use the headphones on your soundcard output. The sound should be the same. If it's not the problem lies with your cabling or with your soundcard. The latter is probably the case since you can't expect...
Also your friend is very talented. This song is very laid-back, soothing in a way.. I like that.
Gotta love those harmonies. Very tastefully done. Overall another very fine piece.
I'm not the best person to be giving mixing advice, but I would bring those vox up a bit. They're not really...
Latency is the time it takes for a signal to be processed from the input of your soundcard, through the electronics and sent to the output. So basically it's the time between the moment you strike the chord or sing in the mic and the moment you actually hear the sound come out. In any recording...
I've got all the tracks recorded and want to put some nice reverb on the whole song. The drums however seem to have enough reverb of their own, so basically I want to put the same reverb on every track, except for the drums.
Now I know there is a better way then putting the same reverb on every...
If you want to learn to program drums, I suggest you start out by trying to program the drums of an existing song, preferably one of wich you have a video or something so you can actually see the drummer play. Not only will you learn how to program them pretty realisticly, but you'll also get...
Re: Re: I disagree
Me too :D. Recording cover songs is really learnfull, in every possible way of recording. It offers insight in song construction, song layers, mixing, mastering etc. and it really learned me how to really listen closely to the music. If I had started by recording my own...
I disagree
I disagree. I don't know about drum machines, but with a sequencer like Fruity Loops one can create a drumsound that is hardly or not at all distiguishable from the real thing, thus way better then real drums played and/or recorded like crap.
All it take is some skill and a good...
There are others (check the 'Drums and Percussion' Forum), but I'm sure Fruity Loops would be the best buy and the most used.
(I use it myself :))
You could also use midi drums.
Yes, most amps have a line out that can be used to record. Nine out of ten this will sound like crap, with a lot of noice and/or distorted, YMMV. You'd definetly want to get a preamp.
As I said, if you're gonna record electric guitar you’ll want something like the V-amp2 or the Line6 Pod. If you...
Here's what you'll need:
1. a good soundcard (perhaps the audiophile 2496)
2. a preamp for guitar and bass (I'd suggest the V-amp 2 since it is cheap, yet very versatile and decent)
3. a drum sequencer (Fruity Loops is considered one of the best)
4. recording software (Cubase, Cakewalk, Cool...
A good editor won't make up for bad musicianship and won't make crappy recordings sound professional.
Wavelabs is considered a professional and one of the best audio-editors. I suggest you learn to use it. You could also try to use the internal Cubase editor, which you open by double clicking...
I use a Behringer V-amp 2 in combination with my audiophile 2496. I use it to record electric guitar direct, acoustic guitar miked, bass and vocals. It's not that expensive and a very versatile tool. You can check it out here...
Maybe you should ask this in the Event Electronics Forum.
It says it's there to "Talk about Gina, Layla, Darla sound cards, Event 20/20 monitors, Rode mics..."
hehe :D
