The sound Sher gets in her song. I'm not sure what effect it is.

Hello everyone. I just noticed the thread about what vocal FX are used on that Stacies Mom song in this forum. So it got me wondering about a vocal effect that has always puzzled me. I can think of two songs off the top of my head that use this effect. First one is "Do you believe in life...

If your talking about samples to use in Fruity Loops. Then I would suggest that you can find them quite easily. Some you can find free online. and others will cost you. I spent about $100 on Drumkit fron Hell. Well worth the money if you are looking for a pro Rock drum sound. I guess it depends...

Lately my songs are averaging between 12 and 24 tracks. Straight up rock-n-roll music here.

My vote would be to mic it. I personally like the sound of the acoustic when it is mic'ed. I guess it depends on the sound you are going after.

I had that problem once. But that was during the Blackout last summer. Do you guys have power?

I usually just build the drums in fruity loops before I start recording anything else. But this is another option: Since he has fruity loops he can also creats the click track in fruity. Say just high hats. for three or four minutes. However long the song is. Then export it as a wave. then...

It sounds like you have some good software... Some have good tutorials and some dont. Sometimes you actually have to put in some "serious time" to learn more about how to use the software. If you have fruity loops.. then you can create any drum track you would ever need. It is just gonna take...

lol There are easier wasy to get drums for a song. I wouldnt recommend stealing another artists work. To answer you question about if it is possible to just isolate the drums from a fully mixed and mastered song. I would say highly unlikely and time consuming. And the finished product would...

Hey there. I would reccomend doing a search here on "Reference CDs" and Mastering. The reference CD will help you get the sound you are looking for. As far as Volume goes: Here are a few things that might help. After I get the mix down perfect in Home Studio, I export it as a wave and save...

Hey there. Sounds like maybe you need to educate this guy a little. And explain to him why singing directly into the recording mic is so important. I would also explain to him Why placing a mic in front of PA speakers is such a terrible idea. Personally, I wouldnt record his vocals the way he...

Yes I mean when I am done writing the song on paper/in my head. I start creating the drums for the song.

Wait a minute! Here is another thing I just thought of: On the bottom right hand corner of your computer screen you should see a speaker icon.. right click on that and select adjust audio properties. under the Audio tab you will see "Sound Recording" click on the Volume button under Sound...

Silly question, but are you arming the track before recording?

Your not off track at all. I use different reference CDs all the time. They are very helpful when I am wanting to match (or come close to) a certain Mix, Tone, Volume level, FX, EQ, or just overall sound. My ears get lost in the mix on a regular basis. So a reference CD can help keep me on...

Do you have the full version of fruity loops? I would definately recommend going through the tutorials that they have in fruity loops. When I am finished writing a song, I go into fruity loops and make the drum track. When it is finished I export it as a wave file. Then I open cakewalk, create...

I use Cakewalk HS 2004, and I am very happy with the results I have been getting. I am in the same boat as you are: I am a singer songwriter/guitar player/crappy bass player. But I make due with the talents I have. One thing I dont have is a REAL drummer to lay down REAL drum tracks for me. I...

When I offset a track I start with the slightest offset and then go from there. As far as panning goes. I keep my main vocals Dead center. Maybe I might pan a backing vocal part or if I am singing an octave higher to thickin up the regular track I might pan that as well. But for the most part I...

I just I answered this question in the "Recording Techniques" forum. Imagine how surprised I was to see the exact same question here in this forum. LMAO Too lazy to write the same answer over again. Steven

I have a few different suggestions: First... Record your vocal tracks as dry as possible. This will allow you to do much more. Doubling the vocal track and offsetting the copied vocal track. This technique can add depth and will make the vocals sound pretty big. You can also play around with...
