I don't remember all your questions, but I'll answer the ones I do. I suggest you get Reaper. It's cheap, easy to use, and packed with features. It seems like you're in a rush to get an EP ready. Buying a drumset, learning to mic it, then learning to get usable sounds from it, then learning...

I'm not sure I follow. You're saying you don't like the sound of the snare because you've set such a small release, and it sounds like a click? Why don't you increase the release ?

I like it. Definitely more eerie than your other stuff, but I don't think there's a lack of melody or anything. Lots of surprises thrown in, so no monotony issues. I like the little part at 2:00. My only suggestion would be maybe tightening up the kick a little bit. For me, electronic stuff...

I would just buy one, nice, versatile vocal mic and spend the rest on other stuff. Like, in your case, maybe a pre amp. Do you think this could be your one, nice, versatile vocal mic ?

There are no set rules when it comes to panning, but there is a 'general template' you'll be better off following, Kick and Bass in the middle, 2 rhythm guitars panned to each side ( NO don't copy paste, do different takes, and no it won't sound weird panned hard to each side ), and Drum...

I'd raise those cymbals quite a bit, and the kick a tiny bit. The drums do seem a little busy, but that's a matter of taste I guess. I'd maybe double the vocals a little more to make them less dry. Overall it sounds pretty nice.

Sounds a little boxy to me. A lot of people starting out make the classic mistake of overusing compressors and EQ, simply because they can. It's natural, I did it a lot too, probably still do to some extent. I'm not saying that's the problem here, but try to go easy on them. The drums need to be...

Buying under $100, $150 isn't really a great idea. Once you cross the $250, $300 barrier, that's when you'll get some decent equipment that will satisfy all your vocal recording needs for some tome to come. I'm talking both new and used. Try the RODE NT 1000, SE2200A if you want new. You'll have...

Is this a test? Lest you jest about a dog's breast.

You hear people saying foam does wonders for the bass, you also hear people saying egg crates are great for room treatment. Don't try to record 'as hot as you can without peaking', just mix everything so it sounds good, balanced, and has it's own space. I try to adjust all the levels before...

I mix to peaks. Nothing should be peaking, or be even close to peaking.

I record so nothing clips, which means it's usually in the -20 to -10 range. If something clips when I'm mixing, I bring all the faders down. Do that enough times and you'll have yourself an extremely quiet mix, around -30. I don't worry about that too much, volume is something I deal with when...

And also, I find it a little hard to believe that you can't find anything you like in Tama, Pearl, and PDPs. Either you have an extremely high threshold when it comes to drums, or you haven't been listening to the right kits. You could buy the Jazz kit and replace the kick, or you could just buy...

You can't really judge a drumkit based on the cymbals. That's kinda like judging the steak based on the potatoes. If you've been testing kits out at the store, keep in mind, most kits on display aren't properly tuned and sound like shit. It's imperative you take a tuning key with you to make...

What bad thing have you heard about it ? And what's a Hi z ?

Yeah, like Seidy said, you'll definitely want to look into getting an interface. An interface is a device which serves as the connection between your computer and your mics. Phantom power is required by condensor mics to function. You can get this from pre amps, or an interface with a pre amp...

When I started playing drums I thought my timing was great. One day my uncle asked me to play with him (he's been playing guitar for about 20,25 years). About one bar in he stopped, told me my timing was horrible, and left. I thought he was being a little too dramatic, so I tested myself and...

No ones gonna listen to all those links man, one is just fine :D Bring the kick up. I don't know if it's too boomy or not, it wasn't very audible. And definitely re do the vocals. Like Clam said, double tracking is a good idea.

Can't add anything someone hasn't already said. The vocals are waaay too loud. The vocals are pretty loose, but I think it kinda works. I'd keep the female vocals higher than the male's.

It would be nice if from now on you could put up a link that takes you directly to the song, instead of making the listener search for it on your page. Anyway, not much space to go wrong with an acoustic and vox. I like the guitar sound. The only thing I would do is maybe bring the vocals down a...
