    Hit song Forumal

    There are plenty of "hit" songs and plenty of "great" songs, but there are few "great hit" songs. The trick to a hit song it seems is to make the listener feel something without thinking about it. Don't make people have to work to be entertianed. As far as the formula there is a web site...

    which condenser?

    lol I'm hangin...... :rolleyes: I talked to a co-worker who is in commerical production. He said the Shure27 is warmer than the other mics I mentioned. However I found a guy selling new AT4040s for $199.00. What is it my wife says "Can't pass on a sale deer" :D

    which condenser?

    No on the Rodes, thanks. Well that is part of the reason I'm asking. I'm not going to sing on the project. So I don't know how each singer (there are two main ones, a female who sings like a song bird and a male who is more of a rocker) is going to sound on a mic. I guess if worse comes to...

    which condenser?

    The 2020 doesn't run as hot as the B1 and seems to have a little more low end then the B1 does to me.

    which condenser?

    I’m starting my first real outside project next month. For demo’s I’ve been getting by with a Behringer B1 and AT2020 for vocals and guitar. I’m looking for a good overall condenser mic to handle lead and backing vocals (male “rocker” voice and female) and guitars. (12 and 6 string) I’ve done a...

    pod vs pod v2

    The Pod is a divisive subject for a lot of people here. For home recording when an amp simply isn’t an option I think they’re a good choice. Now most of the people who have had success with them have had to tweak the settings. Some have had success downloading the Metal package. Personally I...

    how do you write a bridge? Song structure in general?

    Great post!!! Let me add the song will tell you if you need a bridge, not the other way around.

    Saving Sessions To Disk

    I keep my projects on a external hard drive and when they're done burn them to DVD. The thing about a external hard drive is to pay a little more to get the firewire port. Faster than USB.

    Hit song Forumal

    You forgot the part where in the last chorus the singer starts singing all over the place to show off his or her chops (often hitting the highest note in their range) or is accompanied by a massive choir where someone does it for them. Also forgot the lyrical content of a hit song it has to...

    Today 5th April..............11 years ago.......Kurt Cobain "left" the planet........

    Well I have mixed feelings about Kurt Cobains contribution to music. On one hand I was (and still am) a fan of some of the better hair metal bands but I don't think Kurt killed them off. The music sceen had been overrun with Van Halen / GnR / Pop Metal bands and while the some of the better...

    Starting a graphic design company?

    It's always a good idea to do a few freebes to get some good word of mouth and build up a portfolio. The practice will do you well. However if you charge the demand for quality will be higher and clients will be more picky. Like music the competetion is tough. Not only are you out there with a...

    I love guitar center thread

    Hum... never heard that story about GC. If GC sales people are as horrid as I've heard (I've never had too many bad experiecnes other than the mistake of going in on a Saturday afternoon and actually expecting service) then the local mom and pops will be OK. Besides it's the same with all...

    I love guitar center thread

    I don't mind the loud music. Keeps my wife out of the store (and she can't say no when she's over at Bed, Bath and Beyond.) I use Guitar Center for the stuff I can't get locally. Which is monitors, plug-ins, mics, good chords, etc.... not strings, pics, amps or the like. I could buy mics in...

    Can't get the distortion sound I want out of the PODxt or the V-amp

    The best your going to do on a PodXT is to crank the volume all the way up and then control the overall volume with your output nob.

    Apparently, Jesus prefers single coils

    I've always heard: What is the difference between God and Yngwie Malmsteen? God doesn't believe he's Yngwie. Tim... I believe Steven Curtis Chapman has a Taylor endorsement. Most Christian musicians know good interments from bad and those who can play the best and have for decades. I don’t...

    Legal Question: putting covers on your CD

    Thanks Blue Bear. As always your information is on right on the money and appreciated. FYI: I checked out the web site and for under 2500 CD’s released in the USA it is $10.00 per “cover” for the rights.
