Hm well I had a look around, downloaded the only free compressor they had, and needless to say I didn't have a clue what I was doing!

Oh my God, I'm the stupidest person alive...EVER Hahaha, I cannot believe this!!! Turns out the sockets are combined XLR/jack, so all this time I could've used an everyday 1/4" lead to hook them up!! Hahaha!!! Needless to say I've hooked em up now, and I'm very happy!! :D:D:D

And your opinion is what I'm looking for! I know what you mean, they do clash a bit, I need to completely perfect the melody if I'm gonna have background vocals, I'm just always too eager to get some feedback! What would long reverb do to help? I've not used any effects (compression, reverb...

Hi there, Problems still...the cables I ordered for the moniter/mixer connection were in fact the wrong type, so I still have no connection for my nice expensive moniters which I've had for quite a while now! Now I'm afraid to order off the internet again because the same thing might happen...

Well don't try and sugar coat it, sounds like your holding something back? What do you mean by shaky? I think the acoustic guitar and bass are fine, but the rest needs more work. The BG vox...I'd like to have them in (but not in their present form), I think it would provide more variety. Maybe...

You've kinda nailed it there, up until very recently I've always cranked my pre-gain and presence full on. I'm self taught, so I learn everything by the mistakes I make! I'll roll both those off a bit - you think the EQ on the guitar is okay? I'm still searching for a tone I really like. It's...

Cool, I'll mess around with the tone, knock the gain off some and see what I can come up with. I'm not sure what you mean by drum sounds...it's an acoustic drum kit, just a cheap £300 set, and the snare wire on the snare's broken as is the hi hat stand, so it's a bit of a mess. I think I needed...

That's good, you're coming up with things I've been noting down just now actually! I was just thinking to bring the drums in on the "woman with your..." line, because that should mark a step up in the song. Also, the bassline does change a little there but I forgot to when I was playing...oops...

Yeah I do need a pop filter, need to buy some tights, cos i can't afford a real one! Always having problems with the drums, will try and address that. Thanks!

bump...

Hi, You might remember me from a bit ago, I've got a new song for you! Better recorded I think, but you can decide for yourself of course! http://www.nowhereradio.com/tomewer/singles It's "Something New". Tell me what you think! Thanks. - Tom

Ok thanks everyone for your comments, good constructive criticism was what I was looking for. You say a lot of stuff I already know, this was quite a rough recording. The vocals I'm not too happy with especially, I actually made up the last chorus' melody on the spot, and i know it shows. I will...

Have posted there, thanks

Yeah I just realised that! Try http://www.nowhereradio.com/artists...hy.php?aid=2940, and click on the singles.... if theres no luck with that, just search for "tom ewer" at http://www.nowhereradio.com/ and I should come up. Thanks!

I just thought as considering I'm a newbie it might belong in here.

That might be wise...At another forum I was told to "get some fucking headphones that don't bleed so much", so I guess it's people like that who are leaving people like me puzzled with no helpful advice to go on. Thanks again! :D

You, my friend, are a complete legend. Not only does having the mixer/soundcard connected this way make the sound quality much much better, you have completely solved the problems I was having. I can have the click track blasting through far past the sound level I need with absolutely no...

Unfortunately I'm not sure about all these different tape output/routing stuff, my mixer has lots of plugs in the back! - A set of L/R sockets labelled CTRL ROOM - A set of L/R sockets labelled 2TK IN - 2 sets of L/R sockets labelled MAIN MIX (2 ins/2 outs) - 4 sockets labelled GROUP OUT - 4...
