    Hello I need a mix feedback to improve my track and learn new skills

    I agree with most of what has already been said. The vocal is nice and warm. I also judge a good vocal by closing my eyes and trying to visualize someone singing the lyrics. I can, here. Agreed that the piano sound, while it has a pretty realistic sound, it's stark sounding. Some might not...

    Shocks to the lips from the mic

    In the US, if you have any 2 prong plugs, and they don't have one larger than the other, to designate hot and neutral, they are pretty old school and mostly assume your house ground is correct. I remember, in the old days, if you had a buzz in the signal, you could just reverse those plugs, and...

    Shocks to the lips from the mic

    In the US, cold water pipes are often used to attach the green earth ground wire to achieve earth ground potential. It's also possible to use a copper rod driven into the ground to do the same thing. Copper rods are usually the means of grounding lightening rods on buildings, too. Seeing this...

    Need advice please

    Unfortunately, I'm probably not the one to ask what to get. All of my stuff is old and I'm sure there are new devices out there that will work better for you. The Yamaha sounds good as a piano, and if you can connect it to a DAW and record that sound, I'd say that is a good start. But, using...

    Need advice please

    I agree about playing drums on the keyboard. You can get VST software that has sampled orchestra sounds and most of them have a plethora of different drum sounds. They are mapped out on the keyboard for you and depending on how hard you hit the key, the drum sound corresponds to the impact. I...

    Would you say you need to go to college/university in order to make good music?

    You have to weigh any benefits this college would give you against the cost. Do you feel it's worth it? Is it necessary? Are you guaranteed a job in the field after graduation? Is there a way to learn the same things in a cheaper way by an internship program somewhere? I've always thought...

    Would you say you need to go to college/university in order to make good music?

    Formal college training isn't necessary to make music, but any kind of extra training is just that added knowledge you wouldn't have otherwise. If you write songs, it might be necessary to write out lead sheets for other musicians to play your song. Lead sheets require knowing chords...

    Win7>Win10

    Am I to understand that you have a machine that you still can use Netscape with and also one that gets on the Internet with XP? All of the web sites I wanted to get on, with XP wouldn't allow me to. and Firefox even had me relegated down to a whittled down version, because I still had XP...

    Win7>Win10

    Yep, that's what I meant. You get so many new codes and they start to wonder why you are installing it so many times.

    Win7>Win10

    drastic if he had no backup. And at least one of my purchased softwares only allows you to install a few times, before you have to go through quite a mess to get another code. Cleansing, yes...but if the above is true, there are complications. I don't see a problem, if it's the only thing you...

    Win7>Win10

    That sounds rather drastic. I don't disagree that 10 might leave things on the drive after installing, but before finding out what's wrong with his install, you suggest just wiping the whole thing out and reinstalling everything? Do you know how much of a chore that probably is? I think I'd...

    Win7>Win10

    I LOVED DOS. I was great at the command line stuff. I think I started at version 2.1 or something like that. But, DOS sure couldn't do what computers do now. I also agree that the internal numbers of the versions of Windows might be different than the marketing numbers MS puts on them...

    MX 24242 power cut during recording, lost data

    Of course, I'm sure you know, if you write anything to that hard drive, the wave files you are looking for probably won't be found. They are marked for deletion and overwriting, as far as the computer is concerned. So, if some of that file you are looking for is overwritten by another file, I...

    MX 24242 power cut during recording, lost data

    I also am skeptical that anything can be recovered, but would love to see it work out. I'm an old computer dude and have had many issues with data copies that were broken because of various reasons. The thing is, abnormally stopping a transfer, be it recording or copying a file, doesn't allow...

    Buying A PA System (UPDATE!!!)

    I need a stereo system for my keyboards (synths) and have decided on powered speakers. That way, I can export each side from my mixer into right and left speaker and both have their individual power systems. I've been trying to decide on which system to get, and found this comparison of three...

    "Mount error-power off" message-DP008ex

    If you've been using this SD card a lot, you could have data errors that are causing this. Yeah, I know you understand that, but sometimes data errors are fixable. But, if the physical surface that the bad data is on is the problem, you're not likely to be able to recover it. Good data that...

    Mic doesn't fit mic stand?

    Hate to be coming in late on this, but I think the whole deal is he said he got the stand with the adapter, so that's probably why it fits. And because it's plastic, that throws me, too. I've never seen any mic stand that had plastic threads. Standard is standard. The mic is the standard...

    1W vs 15W??

    Not being a guitar player, I remember a little amp called a Pignose. I know it wasn't very powerful, but it had a nice sound. I guess it might still be around. I don't know if it was mostly a practice amp or if it was also for putting a microphone up to it, and then going through a PA. I...

    the demise of Windows 7

    Just like they did with XP, EVERYBODY will eventually stop supporting Win7. Of course, Microsoft will stop supporting it first, then, eventually, others you associate with such as your browser and other things you get regular updates for will eventually stop, saying because Win7 is no longer...

    the demise of Windows 7

    I've got my music computers on XP with no Internet. Not only did that free up more memory for other things, I think the computers got a little faster. One is a quad 4 processor, and the other is a dual processor, and I haven't had any issues at all. Because I'm not on the Internet, I don't...
