Wow, Oretez, thank you so much for your time, and your great feedback. I have experienced what you were talking about in trying to fix an extremely old recording of a friend singing a capella when she was young. She actually was in her 70's, and couldn't sing any more, but had a beautiful...

Hi, VSpaceBoy, Earlier on in the thread, probably on page 1, he explained his financial situation, and that he was needing to make a demo with his band. The cheapest studio he found in his area was $40 an hour - too steep for them. By the way, how do you get your eye to blink like that? That...

Thank you, Manslick, for your suggestion. Yes, I am transferring tapes to digital files, and importing on my laptop. I was working with the files in Tracktion 3 (Mackie), but wasn't sure if there was another "filter" (called effect, or send in other programs, I think) I should be looking...

I'm converting old cassette tapes to digital, and trying to remove as much of the background noise without distorting the speaking voice. These are 20+ year old recordings of church sermons that we are trying to preserve. Hubby has asked me to try to remove as much of the "shhhh" that is...

You may want to do a thread search here, to see what kind of success/issues people have had with this. (Try "latency usb" to find out more about what I was talking about.) If you get in the forums where people are talking about the M-Audio, you may find positive or negative things that will help...

Hi Greg, The first thread I found, and tried, had an expired link or something, but eventually I found your soundclick page. I am amazed, especially that you do all of that by yourself. My son (the 17 year old) walked by while I was playing one of your tunes, and seemed interested. I told him...

If you are planning on layering multiple track recording, you should probably steer away from USB interface. You will be hard pressed to find anything without latency issues that make it next to impossible to record while listening to something you've already laid down. Something like the Zoom...

I love David Wilcox! What a nice guy. I got to meet him a couple of times. Very down to earth, and slightly shy. I voted in the middle, because though I think I have decent tone for a female voice, I lack the ability to be skillful with the stuff I know I should do, or would like to do, and the...

Thank you for that, Airsculptor. Anyone else care to elaborate on the mood/intonnation that's coming across? I was hoping for thankful, possibly joyful, but I'm not sure that's what I'm portraying. Do I sound sombre? I'm really, very new to even being able to put myself out there in singing...

OK, so, this time I'm posting in the clinic, and I am welcoming your comments, feedback, disapproval on whatever strikes you! I re-recorded the vocals after considering the feedback I got here, and from some of my friends. http://soundclick.com/share?songid=7864463 p.s. I thought I was just...

I agree with Guitar Zero. I especially liked the one you wrote for your mom. I enjoyed how you panned the different parts. I could picture two guitarists doing the lead bits, harmonizing with each other, and the rhythm guy in the background. You may want to work on your playing technique a bit...

My impressions: I like the piano very much. You have a nice voice. I like the song. Both times I listened to the song, when you sang "barely" (waking), I thought you sang "belly", and then figured it out by the end of the line. I would have liked to hear an outro with the piano, but maybe you...

Hey, Greg L, In the "What is Talent?" thread, you were highly recommended, and I went looking to hear some of your stuff, but was unsuccessful. Can you direct me, so I may have the pleasure of hearing your talent? Or maybe another one of you guys can give me a clue. I've only been around a few...

I really just wanted to agree with you, Richie, with my own experience. The DP was our first multi-track recorder, and it was easy to learn, use, and can even be used without a DAW (though I preferred to export and work with the tracks on my audacity - at the time). Eventually, we discovered we...

You're welcome, however, after what Richard just posted, I would encourage you to look into that, especially considering the money. The DP has some nice features, 2 decent built it condenser mic's (that's what they were using), but, as I said before, you would need to invest even more money than...

The clip is under 1 minute, but enough for you to get an idea, I think. http://soundclick.com/share?songid=7877762 If you'd like to hear some when they were using the bass guitar, just give me an email address and I can send to you directly. You will need to get an xlr -> 1/4" cable if you are...

You're right. I like what you said, and agree with you, totally. There are actually a lot of good tid bits, advice, links to more information throughout this thread. Sorry to have sounded negative toward all that.:)

Ok, guys, lots of good, philosophical thoughts here, but what about this guy's true, earnest question? He's (I guess I'm assuming the gender) is looking for an answer about how to go about putting the stuff percolating about his head into something cohesive, like a song. What help can he find...

Hi Adam, I read the lyrics first, and wondered how you were going to get all the words to work in a song, but it worked well. One thing I noticed, maybe just preference, I'm not sure, but it seemed that the bell (?) sound was too predominant. Maybe not in volume, but I had the sense that it was...

Thanks for sharing, Walter. Congrats on your recent contest win!! I had my sons come and watch it with me, and afterward, my 5 year old was singing the harmonica part! My 17 year old was explaining what you said about the sandals on your drum pedals (he plays drums, etc.). It was really cool to...
