    Not finished writing but got the sound I'm looking for

    I don't know about overly compressed, but there are two things that stood out. First of all, there isn't enough kick for a club song, not by a long shot. Bring that shit up. And second, the vocals seem separate from the song. They also sound a little 'raw'. Try to bring them down a tiny bit and...

    Guitar Effects Through Computer

    Do a quick google search and you'll come up with tons of names. Guitar Rig is out of your budget, but it's fantastic. POD Farm is great, not sure what it costs, and not sure if you can use it without a POD/ Line 6 product. Amplitube is free and I've heard it's okay.

    Noise Floor of PreSonus FireStudio Mobile

    I own a Presonus Mobile and I've never had the problem you're describing, so maybe you have a faulty set. Did you get it new or used ? Are you connecting it to a laptop or a computer ? If you're using a laptop and the laptop is charging, that could be the source of the noise. Are you using the...

    Best Pre-Amp Under $150?

    I'm not so sure about that. You're right, you're fine if you get enough gain from your interface pres, but the DMP3 is a lot better than most pres you get in an interface these days.

    Guide to Studio Monitors

    All About Home and Project Studio Monitors ^This is enough to get you started. The best thing you can do for yourself is to go and try out as many monitors as possible. Sam Ash and GC will let you test them at the store.

    Home Studio/Reference Monitors

    ^This. The only exception though, might be a very tiny room. You don't want too much low end in a small untreated room. If you absolutely positively just have to get something in the 5 range, my advice would be the Tannoy Reveals. They beat the KRK 5s hands down in my book.

    How do you usually establish a tempo?

    I tap the on the little tempo box in Reaper, it tells me the tempo. I start the metronome, play the drums and play the guitar. Pros, drums and guitar are tight and perfect. Cons, none. :)

    Tinnitus

    I haven't read the article, but it would be stupid to kill yourself without seeking medical help first. As far as I know, there isn't any definitive treatment for tinnitus, just masking techniques. Exactly, some people are more susceptible than others. Take smoking for example. People who have...

    Tinnitus

    People committing suicide because of pruritis that won't go away is common,I don't see why it's not possible with tinnitus too. An itch by itself isn't a huge problem, but I guess any constant, persistent stimulus has the potential to be so fucking annoying that you'd rather die than deal with it.

    Hey Bulldog - Beatles Cover

    Good performance, I like the vocals and the guitar tone. The drums need to be brought up, especially the kick. The part where there's a guitar riff and drums (14 seconds), the guitar and drums need to complement each other, but you can't really hear the drums. The rest sounds good to me, nice job.

    Tinnitus

    Why do you think all those newbs slap on egg cartons and foam ? It prevents tinnitus. So the jokes on you ;)

    Wonderwall

    Couldn't have picked a more cliche song if you tried ;) The first thing that I noticed was the vocals seem a little disconnected form the rest of the song. The instruments gel nicely with each others, but the vocals don't. It's sounds like karaoke. I'm not sure what you can do to fix it, but...

    Never mind.....

    Can't add anything someone hasn't already said, but great work as usual. I enjoyed the listen !

    man its depressing

    I understand what you're going through with the vocals. People who aren't sure about their vocals tend to be pretty biased; they think they suck more than they actually do. I think that's the case here. What you're trying to do with the vocals works great with the song, I'd definitely keep em...

    Occupy Starbucks - political protest from Greg

    So I log into HR after a couple weeks ( auto save in posts ? How long was I gone? :confused: ) and a Greg song is one of the first things I see. You're lucky it only takes you an afternoon to get that kind of production quality. Everything sounds good to me, but the cymbals seem a little drowned...
