    I am ed2...here me sing (a cappella)

    Wow, very impressive vocals. Were you singing to a backing track that you removed or is that all solo?

    Two Metal Mixes

    I like them both. (Helpful, right??) If I had to pick, I would go with the "smoother" guitars. Nice tone on both, but the smoother one sounds a little warmer to me.

    Samba/Rock Mix

    This is a "quick recording"?? I long for the day when one of my "quick recordings" sounds like this :) Very nice work.

    New Song

    Hi there, I could see this going over well in a live performance, where the dynamics of the song might be enough to keep people's interest. But as a recording... Each section as a discrete piece is ok, but overall it's a little boring -- i.e., no vocals, no lead guitars. The little drum...

    I'm guitarist and singer....help

    Jtrain, I've had that problem many times. My rule is that if the melody is really good and memorable, the vocal wins it and I find something (hopefully) complementary for the guitar to do. I am a guitar player first and foremost, but if there is one thing I know it's that the vocal is the most...

    What's your CURRENT favorite radio hook???

    erichenryus, I have a similar feeling about Cristina A.'s "Beautiful". When I first heard it, I though it was someone else; when I found out it was her, I was impressed. I think it is a great example of artistic and commercial aesthetics combining seamlessly. And the production is nice also...

    What's your CURRENT favorite radio hook???

    Doubt if it is in rotation anywhere, but "Am I Missing?" by Dashboard Confessional has been in my head for weeks now. Actually the whole CD is hooky. Before that, it was "Rabbit Hole" by Year of the Rabbit. CyanJaguar, I agree with you. Huge hooks in that song. I like it better than "Bring...

    A Couple new songs

    Ewan, Nice stuff you've posted. You have some minor vocal intonation problems here and there on both "Trace" and "Breathe". That's the good thing about the pared down production, there is nothing to "hide behind" -- you hear every detail, and hearing it is the only way to fix it. I would...

    mp3 encoding questions

    You can also stream the mp3 from your website. Check out this article: http://www.globalgraffiti.com/demo.htm A couple of people who post here in the Clinic use this technique. Good luck!

    3 Words. need input

    I was glad to have the chance to be at the SONAR 3.0 "tour" stop here in NYC a couple of weeks ago, and I was very impressed. The lexicon reverb that is built in sounds as good as any I've ever heard, including Waves. Ahhhh, I'm torn over this. Torn I tell you!! But thank you for the reply...

    Song ready for cd?

    Damn fine song. The only thing I can offer is that the bass guitar sounds poorly defined, a little bit rumbly. Good luck with the CD. More importantly, thanks for serving.

    3 Words. need input

    Dude this is way too good for me to give you any useful criticism. Like the song , the performance, and the production. I'm kinda caught between going for an upgrade of my delta 66 sonar 2.2 set-up and investing in the digi 002.... Can I ask you : do you have the Digi 002 rack unit or the...

    The Promise

    I like "Home" as well; good job with the arrangement especially.

    Very pretty tune :)

    Everything's Just Fine (first ever recording)

    Wow. I listened to this three times. I think this is a really good song. Since this is your "first ever recording" I'm going to point out the obvious stuff: 1. Everything is out of tune here. 2. The vocals and guitar performances need to be tighter. 3. I really think the song would...

    New Third Level tune.

    Tasty stuff. Love the vibe and the guitar work. If I have one criticism it would be the blending of the lead guitar over the rest of the track. It sounds a little too distant from the rest of the action, except between about 1:52 and 2:37, where it sounds a lot better to me. Sounds like you...

    Me Against the World Demo

    "Running Hot" - some nice drum work in there and less reverb on them than you have on "Me Against the World" gives them better definition here. Sounds like some lo-fidelity equipment so my best quick-and-dirty advice would be to pan those guitars hard L and R, and add a little bottom EQ to...

    Sonar 2.2 Dropouts

    It is set to 384 samples (Sorry for the lag in responding. Every now and then my boss gets this crazy idea that I actually have to do stuff in exchange for my paycheck. Must get him straight on that one day... heh heh heh )

    Sonar 2.2 Dropouts

    Thanks for all the replys. Teacher, it's a Delta 66 and the latency is set all the way to the "safe" side. Plus, I tried closing all the plugs and it still wouldn't play...so it's some other weird problem. Anyway, I was planning to rebuild the box and keep sonar and the working audio...
