    Do you listen to songs posted here where you have to download them to listen to them?

    One key to getting people to do what you want is to keep it as simple as possible....it's true in marketing today & music marketing...when you post something your hope is to get people to listen to what you have to say, or listen to your tune. When you ask someone to "work" a little by...

    Singing Flat/Sharp Keys vs 'normal' Keys

    KEY IS EVERYTHING..... I'm an acoustic player & play keys and tune down a whole step and constantly Capo up...This allows me to play in any key with the fingering that these fat, chubby fingers do best. Oh and my pinkies are crooked inward at a 20 degree angle...on keys I transpose up AND...

    What Difference Does It Make?

    Oweh.... I get all your points, but the danger of the sentiment is "Why Bother"? At that point the white flag is being raised, & it is over. But what exactly is over? The fact that someone younger and better looking took our spot on the National Stage? Okay so I won't be the "Special...

    Need help with the title of this......and the mix. :)

    Hey Rami.... IMO...this doesn't function as a full blown Chorus in that it just gives a "Hook" but not necessarily any type of description of to Why you are having that moment...Which is fine, but it doesn't necessarily have to be your Hook/Title......I'm, not sold on the Chorus dominating this...

    Using backing tracks live...

    I completely use backing tracks, which I MIDI & play everything myself. Live I will either play keys or acoustic Guitar while the "Band" plays everything else. Biggest downside is I can never go anywhere else with a song for an impromptu additional Bridge or Chorus, or drop the band out. It's...

    How much of a difference does a higher quality preamp make?

    To the OP....The specifics of which gear I'll let everyone else chime in on. My best advice on the "vocal chain" is this is consistently one area many "under" budget for... Never "settle" in the vocal chain.....Get yourself the best Pre & Microphone you can possibly afford....It is the best...

    Is the DP-24 being discontinued or replaced?

    I guess conversely, I can't understand why so many can't accept that this is a very high end "all in one" DEMO STUDIO....I have cut Demos that get alot of play all over the world from this unit... I got one of the first units & did have to return my first one....And yes it took a couple of...

    Tascam warranty on labor is only 90 days!!!!!!! Read warranty before buying!

    You are the first person with a DP24 on this site (I believe) to need to send unit in....most of our issues were fixed with software updates.. Why did you have to send it in?

    To Choose a DP-24

    Did alot of comparing....zooms white doesn't work for me...small unit whereas the TASCAM DP24 is a full size... Having no MIDI ins or outs on the ZOOM was the deal killer....

    I messed up my home studio

    Almost bought the YETI....Kinda surprised it sux, but it came down to 2 choices and I went for the Audio Technica 4040....Don't know how it will translate to rap, but it is Crystal Clear and I has great Bass Presence...It's an amazing Mic for the price and at least for me can do pretty much what...

    Need Opinions on Quality and Material

    Seek me not.......Sticks in your gut kinda ditty.................Soundtrack Music all the way...... Quality is fine...Drums are distant then they are front and center.......Probably go well with one of these modern day Vampire TV shows

    New Song

    Mix is good......there are parts where the VOX needs to cut through better...whether by nudge or EQ......The Guitars are competing with the Lead VOX, but I wouldn't lower them.... I really like the breakdown on this puppy........ButI did feel there were issues there in the timing with Drums and...
