    The Raven

    Hi Adam, I sort of felt like I was in a haunted mansion gone pop. Your panning and mixing made it interesting, but I'm wondering, is this song about Edgar Allan Poe's raven? When I finished listening to the song, that was the question looming about my head. I love Salesman's Block - barbershop...

    Heartbreaker

    Not to argue with the last post, but I think it sits very nicely together. I could picture the song being performed, and the singer and musicians rockin' for a crowd.

    First Song in the Clinic

    Amazing. Proof of what Greg L said about present drums and bass rumbling along with it. I think it's much improved. It's a great song. Very catchy.

    Thanks for the narrative. I enjoyed it!

    Can't eliminate hiss in recordings

    I thought I had read a post of someone who owns that exact unit, and, what do you know? I found his post! You might want to open a dialogue with Richie, since he's been using his for some time, and has a lot of experience. Below is an excerpt from the thread, "What is the cheapest way..."...

    Acoustic ballad "My Friend"

    What do you think? Can you tell I've been learning from you guys? I know, my vocals still have somewhat to be desired, but go ahead and give it to me straight. Critique whatever strikes you! http://soundclick.com/share?songid=7917358 The song I'm working on now should be up in a few days. I'm...

    Whisper (a 30 year cycle)

    I love the sound of this song. I went to rate it, and found that I had previously rated the song as a 4 (I guess it was before the remix, addition of your friend's new work), so I gave it a 5. I didn't hear the vocal track coming in and out. Did you already fix that? I don't have anything that...

    "So Deep"...its real and raw and sad

    So sorry you've fallen on hard times lately. I hope things will turn around for you, or that you will find a way to let going through such a hard time have a positive influence in your life. I like the song so much better with what you did with it! Good job.:) One tiny observation: in the last...

    Please give me another chance!

    Thanks to all of you for your ears, and your observations. I'm taking it all in, and I know it will shape my future recordings as I plug away at getting my songs out there. The next one up is about a couple of my long distance friends (hopefully ready in a couple of days). Greg, I totally...

    "So Deep"...its real and raw and sad

    I agree with Jeff. I listened to your second song, and it was much easier, and more pleasing to listen to - I suppose because everything sat together better in the mix. There were times in the first song where I noticed that the rhythm guitar was way over to the left, and nothing or very little...

    I have $100 What to buy

    I don't know what the differences are between these two mic's, but the model #'s are close. Chili, you probably know the main differences. I have this mic, and it came with the shock mount, and a cable. Now it's the same price, and comes with shock mount, an MXL cable, and a livewire cable! I'm...

    Hi guys! Thanks again to all for your thoughts, offer to help in my project (Dodgeaspen), advice, and sharing of your knowledge. I'm so excited about what I've learned from you guys, and what I've come to in this project, and just wanted to share. First of all, I figured out how to record...

    Please give me another chance!

    Thanks, guys. I appreciate each of your feedback. Jeff, I do have several other songs I hope to eventually record, and I think I might do more block chording in some of them, but I'm going to experiment with what you said. Sometimes I do it when I play for my church, just so I can hear what's...

    p.s. Hubby had a theory about why the files are so small from my DP: If I'm recording at 16 bit, and then importing it to 24 bit, it would be exponentially smaller than something that was recorded at 24 bit. So, I'll be testing that theory soon, by importing one of the wav files from the DP into...

    Wow. Very cool. Thank you for sharing that lovely picture. Now I know why Hwy 50 sounded familiar to me. The other day, I was just looking at a US highway map, and finding which highways went coast to coast (or almost) to see what kind of a road trip it would be to just take one road east! That...

    Celtic Idea: Jimmy Jones

    I like it! Listened to some of your other songs, and I really liked "Lah Dee Dah". One of my daughters came in, and said, "Can you buy it?" So we were looking, 'cause I was just thinking the same thing! Well, we were unsuccessful, so, could you direct me? Is there a way I can buy that song...

    Oh, this is sooo cool. Thank you so much for taking the time to help me with this! First off, how do you get the picture of what is in your DAW into your post? I wanted to do that on my last post, to show you what I was talking about, but didn't know how. Secondly, you answered, at least part...

    Please give me another chance!

    Thank you so much for that! If there is such a band out there, that's interested, I'd love to hear what that would sound like! I don't have much of an ear for arrangements. I have a friend in Oregon who has heard most of my songs, and he has "heard" them with all kinds of cool arrangements in...

    What is the cheapest way to record in your opinion

    VSpaceBoy and Glen, You guys are so smart! I didn't know that "most" studios would be able to do that! That's cool. As far as the things you pointed out, Glen, I would have to agree with you whole heartedly, since my own experience, totally as a hobbyist, has been that we have spent about $450...
