    For your consideration - poppy/southern rocky song

    Now That I Found You (version 11) I attempted to deal with the dullness issue if anyone is interested in listening again...Is version 11 an improvement over version 10? Now That I Found You (version 11) http://www.soundclick.com/bands/pagemusic.cfm?bandID=184085

    For your consideration - poppy/southern rocky song

    Thank you all for listening... HomeMadeHitShow: You are probably right that this should not be labeled as southern rock...my friend (who was visiting for the day from 500 miles away) did most of the writing and performing of this song (I worked mostly on the drum track, put in the bit of...

    Rogue Guitars.........?

    (Disclaimer:I'm not a "guitar" dude for the most part, I don't subscribe to "Guitar Magizine," but I play a few chords and like having a guitar around)... Back in the summer, after considering the mostly favorable user reviews on Musician's Friend's website, I got a marked down blemished Rogue...

    new to mixing clinic.

    I love the depth and atmosphere you have going...when your song started it sounded like something I would hear on the radio (I would love to be able to get that sound)...and nice guitar work. My only pause (and of course just my opinion) is that the vocal recording doesn't quite measure up to...

    new song.

    I like the guitars and the way they are panned...the vocal sounds "uncomfortable," like the voice is not quite hitting the high notes...maybe you could try the song it in a different key that might fit your voice better.

    Children's Music Thread!

    Llarion...I don't know much about mainstream children's music (I have caught the Wiggles while channel surfing and your music makes me think of them)...I did like the most of the performance and mix of the songs a lot (i.e. volume levels and EQ). I like the way the vocal would rise in places in...

    what cassette?

    Hey james123, I have a Yamaha MT50 4-track cassette (I got it new in about 9 years ago)...its manual recommends using Maxell XLII cassette tapes (on the outside of the tape case it reads "High Bias, IEC TYPE II, EQ 70 us (the "u" isn't quite an exact looking u, but close)...this sounds like the...

    recording keyboard to pc...

    Hey kai13, if stereo is coming out of your keyboard (that is, if you plug headphones into your keyboard and hear the drums in stereo) then your problem probably is getting the right connectors (some plugs are mono and will turn stereo signals that run through them into mono...a stereo plug has...

    Ric Ocasek in New Issue of Future Music (US)

    That's cool...The Cars were my favorite band in the early 80's when I really got turned on to music...I've owned all of their albums (and a few of Ocasek's solo albums)...I think they do have a unique sound...wasn't into trying to "listen to the mix" back then, maybe I will listen again with...

    Home recording through my comp.....

    Hey...my knowledge is limited but I will take my experience so far (and what I have read here) and give it a try and others might want to refine my advice... A good first mic seems to be the Shure SM57 (around $100)...It is great for edgy, in-your-face recording (electric guitar amps, screaming...

    Question about putting together a best of CD

    I know this is not the top-level pro solution but the $29 program Cakewalk Pyro (I use Pyro 2004, but I assume later versions allow this also) lets you line your tracks up visually and (by various means, "automatic" and/or manually) get them to a similar volume level before burning them to CD...

    Converting vinyl & cassette HELP

    I'm not sure...have you got your signal going into the line-in of your soundcard?...have you opened up your sound "settings" window that controls your soundcard and made sure your line-in is set to "on" and/or is "turned up"?

    Toying With The IDea of An Audio Resoration/Remastering Business

    I think you might could make some money doing this...........the same idea has crossed my mind also...when my dad found out that old cassettes could be "turned" into CD's (and that I knew how to make it happen) he put me to work..........there are still some old wide-release recordings that have...

    Shipping an Acoustic Guitar

    Standard shipping procedure (from my experience with mail-order places like Musician's Friend) seems to be "double boxing" (putting the item in a box and then putting that box into another box (a hardshell case would probably do for the inner box)...of course you don't want anything to be...

    WARNING:amateurish, folkish, child's lullaby

    I've just reread the thread...lots of positive feedback and encouragement...I appreciate you all being straight about the song...lots of good suggestions to consider... If you are still interested I have made "Mandy (version 3)"... I focused mainly on the biggest problem, getting the guitar in...

    WARNING:amateurish, folkish, child's lullaby

    Thanks you both for the thumbs-up, I'm happy that someone likes the song... I will consider ways to improve the "synth" situation... I have also come to suspect that the guitar could be in better tune (I tuned it by listening to notes off a website, now I'm thinking why in the world didn't I...

    WARNING:amateurish, folkish, child's lullaby

    I have worked a bit more on the song (Mandy version 2) ...redid the lead vocal and tried to use more compression (and a bit less reverb) to get the lead vocal to sit better in the mix...took the chorus effect off the guitar and added a bit more reverb to the guitar, guitar part probably still...

    WARNING:amateurish, folkish, child's lullaby

    Thanks for the feedback...often the execution of my ideas end up sounding a bit "forced" "uptight" and "uncomfortable"...this is my first recording since early spring and I need to build on it and become more consistant in writing/recording...glad you did like the arrangment/potential.
