You've got Sound Forge so, you're in luck! The sample-rate conversion works quite nicely for this, and there should be no artifacts. I de-Munsterized two of my own tracks this way, so I should know. :D

I have no intentions of doing anything with either revalver or my registry today. I do have a sudden urge to call my girlfriend, however.

Actually, they only got 3 out of nine correct. Which book is this? I want to proceed directly to amazon.com to trash it in a review.

Something is seriously wrong with that book. I say throw it in the garbage. It is wrong several times in that one exercise!

Re: Re: I'm in a serious pickle, please help . . . I've gone through that, and there is a big difference in pitch. Makes my vocals sound a bit like Herman Munster. Not kidding.

If the book doesn't think it's C#, throw it away and get another one. C# is, and always has been, a minor third below E. What does it say, exactly?

The amp sim is not that good for guitars, unless you stumble upon something unusual you happened to want. I use revalver about 40% of the time, and a Pod the other 60 for guitars. However, I have used the amp sim to make distorted vocals... works great for that!

Yes, it is actually an "interlude." It's one of three short instrumentals on my upcoming album. They're sort of mood-changers between different sections of the collection of songs.

Yet another point. If you mix solely in headphones, you will not hear any phase cancellation between the two channels, no matter how your ears adjust.

Buckshots comments got me to thinking of one of my songs. It starts off with the very deep lyrics "doo-doo, doo-doo, doo-doo, doo-doo." Those words come back later as well. I always thought the structure of the song was unusual too. When I was talking to my engineer friend about it, I said...

Thanks for the comments! DimChandeliers, I can't hear where you say there is clipping. I scanned through the file in Sound Forge and don't see anything that looks like clipping either. Is there a particular point where you hear it? Qenn, did you mean that you thought the kick wasn't mixed...

Hey all, I got a sort of trippy mostly-instrumental rock number here, with sort of a funky King Crimson thing going on. It has a lot of little quirks bumps and effects, but basically just rocks out. I'd appreciate any feedback both on the mix and the music itself. The mix has been tough as...

Unless it's a music CD that you want to be able to play on your regular CD player, make it a data CD. The files contain music, but they are still just files. Also, if you have Sonar 2, turn on per-project audio folders, as that is the easiest thing to back up. I once had a .bun file that...

A bar is the same as a measure. If you're counting off the beats, it contains everything that occurs from the "one" until the next "one." For example, take "Twinkle, Twinkle, Little Star," which is in 4/4. Tap your foot while you sing... Bar 1 = (1) Twinkle, (2) twinkle, (3) little (4) star...

I thought we were talking about mixing on headphones, not checking the mix on headphones (or other setups).

I've personally never finished a mix that I thought was good in the monitors that didn't translate to a good headphone sound as well. Headphones are great for finding glitches and extraneous noise, for tracking miked vocals and instruments, and for enjoying music without disturbing others...

15 minutes?? I guess I must be spoiled with my cable modem, because I just checked, and the longer song only takes me about 25 seconds to download. It is a hefty 5:17 long, so that may be what's hurting you if you have dial-up.

Unless the drummer is doing the tracking and mixing, tell him to let you do your job as you see fit. If you're individually miking each of his many cymbals, that's just overkill.

I agree 100% with the article and the sentiment (don't mix with phones!!) Another thing that page doesn't mention is the difference in the perception of bass frequencies. Very low notes are often felt in the chest or stomach. It's almost as if different parts of your body were acting as...

*sigh* 24 views, and no more comments? I know it may not be everyone's cup of tea, but it's ok to say that too.
