and what kinds of sounds does the micron have? does anybody have more info/suggestions?

Hi, I've recently been looking for an inexpensive keyboard (oxymoron) to add some flavor to my rock based recordings and I was checking out two synths: the Microkorg and the Alesis Micron....They're simiarly priced and I'm sure people have opinions on what's better, I'd like to hear them! Also...

I don't know why nobody's commented on this. I like the drum sounds actually, the kick sounds nice and the drummer definitely knows his way around the kit. I do have a problem with the chorus guitars. I'm no expert but they sound somewhat midrangey to me and a bit quiet. They don't surround...

scars within starts with the same piano riff as "Sit Down Stand Up" by Radiohead...I like the creepy sounding organ....I'm assuming these drums are a machine? It's interesting as a soundscape. Sounds like the snare drum is kinda distorted around 1:28, which I'm not sure really sounds good...

I use an F12 as well, it's not great but it's alright. 57 as an overhead is pretty painful to me, I picked up a pair of Oktava MK012s which work really well, that would brighten up your snare sound a bit for sure. As it is, your stuff sounds alot better than the mics would suggest which just...

I'm mostly curious on what you used to mic the drums, but also the brass...?

jeez...listened to Only Son, I'm trying to get the others to work. This is great, that fourth chord (the minor one) is dead sexy if you ask me (alot because of the voicing you use on the piano). Sounds like Ben Folds if he wasn't a wimp :) Stencil Balloon: trumpet...this is great, it sounds...

wow you guys are good....I very recently have gotten into Elliot Smith and have been obsessed, mainly with Either/Or and the awesome arrangements on Figure 8. so yeah....thanks. by the way if you save it, you could retitle it Julian Fader - As Little Above Ground As Possible (that's what I'm...

the songs aren't cleared.....i'll try later I guess...any suggestions on which to listen to?

yes! off siamese dream, listen to soma and you'll *sorta* get my general muse for the song. but thanks to scareddude and Jakearabble for the kind words. jake...is there somewhere I can hear one of your songs?

it's funny you say that, I JUST got finished with a gigantic chicken salad sandwich. bad for your breath, good for your heart.

doing laundry is harder than recording if you're doing it at a laundromat because you sit there and just wait.....

hahha i didn't think so but either way it was helpful...i downloaded blockfish and i'm liking it already

god both of those last two posts.....thank you so much!! I really appreciate this, this is the reason this board is great.....this whole post has been really informative and helpful to me. so yeah thanks, looks like I've got some reading and practicing to do eh?

any suggestions on some sort of supplemental material to help me learn? trial and error is slow!

Compression is the bane of my existance...no kidding but whenever I use compression, I end up just cycling through the presets until I find something that makes the sound a little better than before. I have alot of trouble comprehending how all of the compression variables affect the...

Okay I'm listening. I'm liking the vocals, the harmonies seem pretty on. I don't like the acoustic guitar sound though, it sounds a bit lifeless.....consider doubling it and panning the two tracks right and left? I'm assuming you recorded it in stereo but it just doesn't sound like an...

Just to clarify, this is NOT my application but the NYU Steinhardt school of Ed (which also houses the music programs) says that sending in a CD is optional and that's just what I'm planning on doing. Basically, I still have to do a real app. anyways :-\. I'm applying as a music tech major by...

Thanks alot for the comments! This is actually the first time I've ever really tried singing on any of my songs (I was doing instrumentals up until this point). I haven't ever really appreciated how hard singing can be until now though. It's insanely hard to pronounce all of the words, at...

I'm a 17 year old from Boston and I am applying early to the Steinhardt school at NYU and I'm making up a demo CD and this is the newest song I've recorded. I'm planning on leading off the album with it and I wanted to get some feedback. Anything would be helpful....song structure-wise or...
