    How do you like your songs?

    I like the 3-4 minutes songs more, but with a solo in the middle (and maybe even another bit solo line toward the end) like the Cars "You are the Girl". A good song that leaves you wanting more (because it is short) is not a bad thing......a so-so song that goes on too long starts to stink up...

    best keyboard for around 350?

    Random thoughts on this subject: One should determine how many keys they need to have on the keyboard (I like at least 61 to have the semi-illusion that I am sitting at a piano)...If the keyboard's sounds are going be used for sequencing then one should consider how many notes the keyboard can...

    wacky computer question

    I was on my dad's computer last night and it had the same problem (which I have never encountered before)...nothing happened when I typed in the address in the "main" address bar (near the top of the screen) and hit enter. I was able though to successfully use the other address bars under the...

    Needles and Pins

    Hey EL34...The only version I've ever heard of this song before was by the Ramones (I haven't heard the original version)...I really like what you have done...nothing stuck out to me as being "not right" or "off" (except maybe your drums came in a bit early or oddly at the introduction and a...

    Where can I upload a cover tune?

    Have you checked soundclick.com...I don't know the details but I think I saw something about them having a covers catagory now. P.S. I just checked out soundclick.com's information on posting cover songs...the proceedure for legally posting a cover song on soundclick.com involves contacting...

    looking for a small cheap synth

    Hey msblaze...I'm not sure what you mean by "synth effects" but I have a new-condition Yamaha PSR-275 that I would ship UPS to anywhere in the United States (excluding Alaska and Hawaii) for $100... It has 480 voices, a 61 full-size touch response keyboard, 32 note pholyphony, and midi in and...

    "Threadiquette" in the clinic?

    The MP3 Clinic is what I like most about this whole site. There is an honesty here and it is not (directly, at least) about someone trying to make a buck...I used to have a goal of listening to (and commenting on) a song a day, but life has gotten in the way. When I am about to post one of my...

    oN THE BACK OF MY MONITORS

    I got my Wharfedales 8.2 actives in December 2005...I listened to them for a while (in a small room...about 6 foot by 8 foot) with the bass set to flat but found them to be muddy/indistinct and unpleasant sounding...with the bass cut engaged I enjoy listening to them and believe they are more...

    best speakers under or around $100?

    I am a recording hack and have no reputation to protect here, but to echo SouthSIDE Glen...I got a Dell computer about two years ago and paid like $30-$50 extra for the speaker upgrade (which appears to be two regular computer speakers interconnected with a shoebox-size bass-producing "woofer")...

    Can a studio monitor sound equal to a hi fi speaker with some applied smile EQ?

    Hey trillbee...I am a novice when it comes to monitors but I will share my experience... I recently bought some Wharfedale Diamond 8.2 Pro Active nearfield monitors after hearing favorable reviews on this board and getting a headups (also on this board) on a good price (in December 2005 at...

    songs with the happiest, poppiest, catchiest melodies

    I'll try to add a few ...I'm a little iffy on the exact title of some of these: The Beatles: "Hello Goodbye"..."Penny Lane"...and "I'd Be Happy just to Dance with You" REM: "Stand" The Archies: "Band-Shang-A-Lang" Daddy Dewdrop: "Chic-A-Boom" Pilot: "Magic"...the one that goes: "oh, oh, oh...

    My Song - Get Myself Together

    Hey...I am really impressed with the recording quality of your song...I was just listening to one of your recent "podcast" shows where you said you were thinking about getting an M-Audio 2496, is this the soundcard you used to get this into your computer? (I'm thinking of getting one myself) It...

    Direct Box

    paulbeteivaz...I think I need a DI box because when I tried to record an electric bass guitar recently (through the line-in of my mixer) it sounded weak and noisy (with a low buzzing noise)...I am looking to buy a DI soon to get a better bass guitar recording. I have been reading some audio...

    PowerTracks Pro Audio

    Thanks Clive...I guess I learned more from you (trying to help you) than you did from me...I did find the option earlier that saves to a compressed file (and I assume an mp3 is a type of compressed file, since it is so much smaller than a wav file) but I didn't go through the steps to the point...

    PowerTracks Pro Audio

    Clive...I have PowerTracks version 8...I just took a look and didn't find a way to convert to MP3 from inside the program (It does have a "Merge audio tracks to WMA file" option)... You may need to use a separate wav -> mp3 converter program (after merging your tracks into a wav file from...

    Want to set up little homestudio; a few question

    Hey Job7...I will try to give some feedback on some of your questions. Some of my answers are based on my own experience and some on what I have read on this board... 1) The Yamaha mixers starting at around $100 (the MG 10/2 model) have been well spoken of on this board. 2) The Yamah mixers...

    New Song...listen, what do u think?

    Hey...I didn't hear your earlier version to make any comparison...I am not a regular listener to this type of music, so keep that in mind... I really liked the music production and the singing of the lead vocal (the vocal makes me think of artists I heard in the 80's, I mean that to be a...
