Here is what my oldest daughter said: it feels like the arrangement is still missing something...... what could it be?????? it's fine for now though. There was some overdrive on my speakers, though i don't know if thats just my speakers because i know that didnt happen on the headphones. -kacia...

Hi Chili, Yeah, he has a little of that obsessive-compulsive stuff from his mother, I'm afraid... He also gets up from the table after a meal, takes his plate/cup/utensil to the sink, gets the rag from the sink, and wipes down his area at the table. He started doing that, of his own accord...

Kayley, my 13 year old is singing lead. Kara, my 15 year old, is singing harmony. Lukas, my 18 year old, is playing guitar. We recorded this for my 5 year old, so he can play it when he's getting ready in the mornings! http://soundclick.com/share?songid=8007390

I've actually had this idea for some time, but didn't want to speak out of turn. The singer has a sweet voice, but I think someone mentioned that it seems like she didn't sing the words to go with the music, so I was wondering what the song would sound like as an instrumental? It seems like you...

Removing the piano sounds like a good experiment to me. Maybe replace with a mariachi guitar section? It would work better if I could picture the musicians in a groove, together. It needs some spice to hold the interest, since it's quite repetitive. I'm thinking of John Mayer's song, "Say."...

Hi C, I went to your website, and am listening to your songs there. Unfortunately, only 3 are up right now, so I'm not getting to listen to what every one else has been commenting on, about "Another Sunset." I just wanted to tell you I'm very impressed with your songwriting. You have very...

Another thought about getting into "character" (I agree with C about the feeling - like you're sort of disconnected from the lyrics) is a little exercise Mr. "Gecko Zzed" passed along to me: Pull out the lyrics, and imagine you are standing there, speaking the words to the one you wrote it...

I would have to agree with you, but the segments where they are talking about the "how-to" stuff seems to be pretty helpful, and possibly useful, if it's what you're trying to work on or learn about. Recently, I heard one called "Copying Rod" where he goes through the process of making a music...

Actually, Inside Home Recording is a totally different website, based in Canada. They had a tv show for a while. They have a forum, but it is very small, and doesn't have nearly the activity, or availability of topics that HomeRecording.com does. :D I subscribed to the podcasts at the same time...

Hi Jeff, You're probably way beyond this, so I offer it with some hesitation. Recently Lukas and I were listening to one of the Inside Home Recording podcasts, and there was a really cool segment on midi drums. He was actually using a drum sequencer, I think, instead of an electric kit like you...

Wow. What a great song to play, just as I prepare to pay our bi-monthly bills! The opening lyric seemed to be slightly prophetic, and made me think I would hear more about your preconception of it's result (somehow, I thought it was going to be about the final days before another world war)...

Yeah, he did. In fact, he went to a jam session today, with some old buddies from their days at the Fender Center for the Performing Arts (he was in a couple of the Kids Rock Free bands), and they told him he should listen to some Meshuggah (sp?) stuff. After what you just wrote to Jeff Maher...

You're welcome, but it's all because of you! Here is what I wrote in one of the threads, recently: When I first started posting my songs here, Chili recommended spending some time in the mp3 clinic. I'm amazed at how much I've learned from listening to other people's stuff, reading the feedback...

I'm really happy with my TAPCO 4x6 firewire interface. It was only about $160 from Musician's Friend, and I'm able to layer tracks with no latency issues, whatsoever. It also came with a DAW that I really like: Tracktion 2. Because I have Windows Vista, I needed to upgrade to Tracktion 3, but...

Hi Fuller, I may be going out on a limb a bit here, but I wanted to give you my response to your song. I read the lyrics before listening, and found them to be quite endearing. I was looking forward to a simple, sort of country song to go along with what I felt when I read the words. I know...

Hi Chili, I agree with the guys about this: cool song, good music, especially liked the "ooh-ahh". Very nice touch. A couple of things that weren't mentioned: I liked the guitar solo, and that it directly followed the lyric "calling me back with her siren song". I felt like I was hearing her...

I like the song, but it was hard to listen to on my monitors (dynamic stereo headphones). The drums seem way too prominent. I'd really like to hear this, and share it with others, with a few adjustments in the mix, as suggested, above. It's a catchy song, that is probably very easy to relate to...

Wow. Gripping music. The vox are a little much for me, but that wouldn't be surprising to you if you compared it to what I customarily listen to. I still found the composition to be quite interesting. I'm sending your music page to my 17 year old (soon to be 18) son. He is a Tool fan, and enjoys...

Wow. That was cool. What would I do without youtube? Such a great resource! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Jl1RXdmKNjc

John, I love your little nickname for me!! I'm going to go find that song, and give a good listen as soon as I'm done responding here. Thanks for that. Ray, Thank you for your encouragement. Fullerc, I'm beginning to think it would be better for me to re-record the lead, with better phrasing...
