hi. i was listening to the mumps today... their songs were recorded in 1975, and i can't believe how goddamn incredible the vocals sound. has microphone technology not changed much in 20-some years? what were they using back then? thanks bye.

if i can convince at least one person that my music sucks, i know i'm doing something right. suck on, my brothers and sisters, suck on forever.

hey, thanks for the general kindness. chriss, i'm a bit hesitant to describe the methodology behind my practices, as any experienced individual might object to them. but, with that qualification, i'll tell you what i do... i use a shure sm58 microphone to record everything because it is cheap...

hi. please check out this song (chasin' kangaroos). the song is not mastered. http://artists.iuma.com/IUMA/Bands/SkyDaddy how would YOU go about mastering this? what steps need to be taken? is it ready to be mastered? i am forced to do the job myself, so sending it off is not an option. thanks.

call me old fashioned, but i prefer a good sounding track over a loud one.

hiya. do a search of the forum and you'll find a fucking library of information on this subject. my understanding of it is as follows: a) you'll never get a commercially-hot CD unless you've got a lot of expensive equipment. b) you don't really need a commercially-hot CD unless you're going...

i see. thanks for the help. i analyzed a few commercial tracks and most clipped on occasion. I guess human ears are the final judge.

hi. my meters say that the mix is clipping somethimes, but i can't hear any distortion. is it okay to clip sometimes?

that'll do just fine. actually, i've dropped the idea and have quit this whole "music" thing. it's boring.

found a plug-in called Warp VST. it solved my problems

okay, i see. but, when we play live, i plug my acoustic into a crate amp, and, with overdrive engaged, the sound is very adequate for my purpose (though i'm certain any experienced person might call it less than ideal). so... i know that i'm able to emulate the sound that i want from my...

hi. i only have an acoustic guitar and would like to make it sound like it's plugged into an electric amp with overdrive. is there a good plugin for such an application? every distortion plugin that i've so far tried has made me want to shoot myself in the face. in other words, i want to...

thanks for all feedback and consideration. i suggest we put this one to bed... especially on account of i won't be around for a while to respond to future posts. all comments were somehow hopeful, if not entirely helpful. i look forward to more of the same with endeavors to come.

thanks for info... the only reason i zip the songs is because tripod does not allow mp3 file on their servers. plan to trasport files to nowhere radio.

hi. if you're a black female singer and would like to sing some backup vocals to a little acoustic joint, please don't hesitate to respond. thanks

which finally confirms that this is wife-approved music.

lt. bob: you've stumbled across my little niche in the world wide web. don't fall in.

shackrock: i'm not sure if there are different kinds of auto-tune plugins, but when it loads it says "Antares Auto-Tune 3." somebody gave it to me, so i don't really know much about it. participant: to be honest, i've yet to develop any amount of engineering foresight. the resultant sounds are...

thanks for comments and ideas a modified dog: the guitar is yamaha dw-10 chrisharris: it is great to hear that someone is actually listening to the music just for the sake of listening to the music. it's a very satisfying compliment. mixmkr: i don;t think i have smoothing filters... what are...
