Hi, Xeries, I'm a new member, and I'm interested in hearing what you're working on! I was very insecure about posting my songs here, because, frankly, I didn't think anyone would like any of it. I have been amazed at what I'm learning from so many people here - people who aren't into my music...

Amazing!! I am absolutely thrilled and amazed, Jeff! Thank you so much for your beautiful effort and time. I didn't want it to end, and I wanted to hear your harmonies a little louder in the mix. I could never recreate that myself, especially that gorgeous bass voice, but it sure was sweet to...

Thank you so much, John. It means a great deal to me, since I'm just starting to be trained, and learn how to express, in singing, what is in my heart. I've been writing from the heart for a few years, but this singing, really with expression is brand new for me! I'm encouraged that I may be...

How can I thank you, Jeff, for your very detailed, very helpful, reply? One thing's for sure, I'm going to work on everything you said, plus continue to do the vocal exercises, so that I can gain more control and stability in my singing. I love what you pointed out about not meeting back...

Hi guys, I finally got some recording time today, and was able to redo the vocals for my newest posted song, "My Friend", plus a new version of the gospel song, "All Of My Heart"!! I've been trying to "brain train" (as Jeff Maher put it) myself out of some bad habits (swooping to notes), and...

Just listened to the remix I love it! I hope you'll let us know when your final version is available. I want to buy it. I like your vocal performance and the change-ups in the song. It's really fun to listen to. You do have a sort of Bono sound, but while I was listening, I was also reminded of...

Musician's Friend is having a sale (not really news), and they have a really good article about Leo Fender. Check it out, here: http://www.musiciansfriend.com/fender-sellabration?src=3TP9HA&ZYXSEM=0 Scroll down below the ad.

I know, I was listening to it yesterday, and thinking, "oh, this is gonna have to be done again!":o 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...

Thank you, Ray, for your feedback. Much appreciated. I wasn't able to fix the song yet, and we're going camping over the weekend, but I'll be straight to it when we get back! Yes! I'm working on my pitch issues with the "brain-training" techniques Jeff suggested earlier! I'm really excited...

That was fun! Maybe try grabbing your breath after the second stanza instead of stretching it all the way to the 3rd... Fun stuff, though. I could picture that one being a real crowd pleaser at a club!

It's a pretty song. Maybe you'll think this odd, but I kept wondering what this would sound like with a cajon and djembe, or something like that (except toward the end, where the guitar solo came in - I don't think those percussion instruments would work with that part). When I'm listening, the...

Or simply suspend one or more of the chords you've been working with. It's a great way to add a little drama. I just love the sound of going back and forth between a straight chord and a suspended chord. Seconds are fun, too.

Marcadiablo, Thank you for clearing that up for me. I understand your meaning, and appreciate your comment about it being an "artistic" choice. TaintedDb, Thanks for the compliment! A few weeks ago, I wouldn't have thought I would be trying to "perform" my songs. I simply thought I was going...

Why didn't I think of that? Googling now... Again, thank you!

p.s. I'm planning on re-recording the bridge when I solo the lead. I was getting a sore throat when I did that part!!

I was listening to it, when I was mixing, and noticed the voice and the piano were center. When I pictured a singer playing a piano (a beautiful grand piano that I don't have, by the way!) I saw her there, a little to the left, and then a mic somewhere in the middle of the piano. I thought the...

Thank you, Mike. I think I should re-post the song without the harmony, and work it out, or leave it solo. I'm thinking I should probably spend more time learning what I want to do instead of the way I've been doing it. Basically, get the lead done, and then listen to it a couple of times, and...

Hi Jeff, I don't know how to thank you for your giving feedback. I was feeling very blue about the fact that several had seemingly looked at my request for feedback or critique, and decided not to respond in any way. You gave me a lot to think about and work toward, and I'm very grateful. I...

(sheepishly) If you can add the room + amp to the guitar after the fact, why not simply record the guit with an instrument cable directly to your interface? If it's acoustic guitar, try playing an electric guitar, unplugged during your vocal track, after the fact. I've done this process using my...

I'm a bit confused. Yesterday, this song got 10 plays, and one download, but I haven't heard from anyone! So, does that mean one person liked it, and everyone else hated it?:confused::confused: If any of you could spare a few minutes, I'd really appreciate a nod, or something!
