    lend a ear? beginer beat.

    I dig the kick that comes in half way through. The one thing I dont like is the sound that comes in at about 14...I mean this isnt the songwriting forum, but it just doesnt do much for me. I like the sound, just not how it's arranged in there. It might be cooler as a more subtle effect. Just...

    Sound Click

    I listened to "arriving" - I dig the sound of the song, as well as the writing. To me, everything seems right down the middle, and a lot would be added if it was more in strereo - i.e. if the cymbals are panned left and right. It's just flat to me, and needs to sound like it's more stereo...

    Screwtape V2

    not to revive such an old thread, but.... we really need some input on the vocals. They either sound to raw, or too flat depending on what we try. But we want something that will lay nicely just on top of the track with a good rich tone. We have a rhode NT1, and of course various sm57's and...

    Covering Windows....

    A search in the forum didn't reveal a similar situation. Basically, we've been kicked out of our sacred jam/recording spot and are therefor moving to our guitarists (other) house. In our old spot, we were underground, so had to worry little about distrubing the neighbors. In the new place...

    I'm nearly done with HS... now what?

    a 2 year technical degree in audio engineering from ANY college is more than you'll ever need. Studio experience is the most important thing, for sure. Furthermore, the more hookups you have in the industry, the better.

    Mixing toms to one track

    I would say you want at least two tracks. I think the delta 66 can do more than one input, no? Most people like to pan the toms from left to right, and pan the cymbals to odd places. So you can input everything into your mixer, do all the panning you like, then output two tracks (left...

    Screwtape

    lynx - sorry, I didn't talk to the band about releasing the song online. IF we do release songs, we do it at www.thepowerless.com khomputer - Thanks. The bass rings with the chord at the end, but you can barely hear it. Maybe we'll fix that in v. 3.0 Toki - Thanks, I really like our singers...

    Me again

    hey - good d/l speeds from that server! Thats some shredding guitar, man! The guitar recording sounds good - maybe it could use a touch of reverb though? (Just a touch). I dont really care much for the midi drums and bass in the back - they sond repetative and kinda demo-buttonish.

    What about these songs?

    The links don't seem to be working. Even so - if you're looking for a critque on the songwriting - you may want to try posting in the songwriting forum - this forum is for reviewing the mixes.

    Take yourself a listen:

    I listened to track 13 as the link to track 4 didn't seem to be working. The instruments sound pretty good. I have a few problems with the vocals: 1. They seem to lack feeling - I've found its hard to sing in the studio the same way as on stage! 2. They seem too slow (like if the whole...

    Screwtape

    Okay, if someone's going to vote one star on the thread, at least have the guts to tell me what you didn't like, sucka!

    Screwtape

    Hey everyone, check out the new tune here. It's called "Screwtape" - based on the Screwtape Letters by C.S. Lewis. If you wouldn't mind giving a little critique, and especially comment on the orchestra in the background of the clean guitar part. I don't take credit for the mix or the...

    newbie with low volume and hiss

    Its not specifically the Edirol that sucks, its ALL USB boxes. I mean, a lot of people here use them and like them - and I agree that they are fine for hobbiest type home recording. USB simply is not capable of the kind of throughput to be able to do more than 1 or 2 tracks. Because it's...

    Newbies - Recording Industry The Truth.

    Manning- nobody here needs a reality check except you. I dont care if you're Jim Morrison or Buddy Holly, or if you enginered their albums. People record for whatever reason they want. If some kid thinks he's gonna make it big - let him pour his heart into his portastudio recordings. He'll...

    newbie with low volume and hiss

    Those USB boxes suck, too. But they are going to do a lot better than a SB soundcard. If you want really nice stuff - look into firewire or PCI audio interfaces. But they aint cheap.

    newbie with low volume and hiss

    no offense to you - but why are people still asking about soundcards?! Dont buy them, dont use them if you ever want to make anything clsoe to a decent recording. I use my soundcard to record because I mhappy with the crap I get out of it. If you want to impress people, get real gear - if...
