Next to my studio mnitors are the following books: Thesaurus Dictionary Rhyming dictionaries (2ea) Bartlett's Familiar Quotations I guess I'm going to rot in songwriter's hell 'cause that's gotta be cheating!! Oh well - I'll meet a lot of famous people there for sure!! Milan

There are no rules-Have no fear-Have Fun The advice given here so far has been right on the money. Here's my simple addition and a few words to explain why I think like this. There are no rules - Who cares what someone thinks about what is the "right" or "correct" way to hold a guitar...

Nice tune - sounds pretty darned commercially acceptable musically speaking. I hear some really nice influences. Mix-wise - the panned bass doesn't work for me. Since low freqs permeate an entire room when played live, you're limiting the sonic space we're accustomed to hearing and it makes it...

What do you eat for breakfast? How can you crank out so much first-rate stuff in so little time? Hell I just spent a week practicing one damned riff! Wholesome synth sounds - totally unwholesome growl - very cool contrasting - that's damned intelligent planning there combined with some killer...

Good start! I echo the sentiments of the folks who've already posted but I want to start by saying: man, are you in the right place! Lots of friendly and experienced advice here so take ye heed, my brother and go forth with confidence!! (Can I get an AMEN?) Your voice is really nice - too nice...

THANKS TR! I never visit the cave - guess I should drop by once in a while. Thanks for the connection. Milan

OH NO! Now I have to listen to all of my stuff - AGAIN! Thanks for the post - interesting to note that my first vocal music teachers said all of those things long before the days of computer-aided statistics gathering. It's always the simple things that make the difference. Nice article -...

Nice postings, guys! I join your mourning and I salute your respect and admiration. Johnny Cash touched America - and much of the world - in a way few people could. I really do like the people on this board - you're truly unique, both individually and as a group of dedicated musicians. Thanks...

I join you in mourning the passing of Johnny Cash - but since we're taking some space here for reflection and appreciation, let's take another pause for Warren Zevon. I have no decent recording of my playing his work, but I never played a solo gig without playing one of his tunes. His influence...

I listen to tons of choral music - I've been in a lot of choirs - sounds pretty darned good just like it is. I'm surprised you didn't get a lot more noise - there's a lot of ambient 'air' sound - but it's not distracting. I'm just curious here - what would hapen if you backed off the treble in...

Why?

Ich begruesse dich! First of all THAT's an avatar! Ok now to the music - You are certainly more capable than I at making music while intoxicated! That cymbal and the guit solo are the only tell-tale moments. Both are quick fixes, though. The solo is nicely written, just played a little out of...

Your song is responsible for a small miracle - it's kinda like a prayer and today was the first day my ISP allowed me to stay online lomg enough to download a whole tune - (it's slowing down lately, it's running in the back and stealing precious CPU time No shit - this is right on the money...

I feel obligated to respond to this even though I have absolutely no idea of how/why/where/with what/you did any of this stuff. But anyone who composes and arranges a piece with such emotion and staying power as 'Caribou Nation' deserves a listen. What can I tell you about the mix? Nothing - I...

The guitar player in the left channel sounds just like me - turned to 11 all the time. (It always sounds good to me when I'm six inches form the speakers) Unreal live recording - the vocal's a little hot for me - almost too clean for all the distortion happening. Drums are right-on-the-money...

A nice tune - sooooo laid back - relaxing, man. Everything sounds like it's where it should be to me - nothing sticks out -I dig the background vocals. The chimes were nice but then I thought they might be in there a little too often. (just me) I think the backbeat guitar idea is a good one...

Well - let's see here - Melodically speaking it was a bit too intense for me - the rapid delivery of the lyrics made it difficult to understand the form - this is not your typical A-B-A, I know, but there could be a moe pronounced break between sections - my tastes only, you understand. The...

A Harmony Sovereign! I know them well - I worked in a music store in the late 60s and early 70s. We sold a lot of them. Well you're right about the sound - pretty hard to beat - very woody. I just listened to it again - nice fat tone. And you mentioned my favorite guitar player of all time -...

Here's an excellent reason why one should always post regardless of what he/she thinks about his/her worthiness - it's hilarious!! I love it - and I think I'm gonna clip the first 16 seconds and reduce the sample rate so I can attach it to emails! When people at work get all wrapped around some...

Once you start you'll wonder why you waited so long - just do it. You said you wanna "get in on the fun" - trust me - it IS fun. I can't believe there are so many nice people out here. Not one asshole (well, I guess I'm here) so only a couple assholes! Jump in! The water's fine! Milan
