    When You Fall - Comments appreciated

    Jim Cross, when you are ready, where will this song be available for purchase or download? I really like it. I want it for my ipod. I want to sing harmonies with this song. (in my own little corner of the world.) The ending could be longer for me, too. The beginning is a little too bold for...

    Mic suggestion for untreated room

    When you say untreated room, do you mean void of furniture/bookcases/wallhangings? Somewhere, possibly on this website, I read that if you hear an echo when you clap in the middle of the room, it's not "flat" for recording. I walked around my house, room to room, and found that the most "flat"...

    How are we storing and caring for our mics?

    Thank you for this thread. It's making me rethink my mic storage. I only have one condenser mic, which I have regularly removed from the stand, and placed in the pouch it came in, and then placed it in a small storage box (like a photo box) with some of my cables/phones, etc. I have two...

    My first recorded song with my new equip!

    Hi Joey, Thanks for checking back. I just peeked over here, to see if anyone had added any tips, or anything, and there you were! So, I am currently using Tracktion 3 (Mackie/TAPCO), Tracktion 2 came with my interface, and after tinkering with it a bit, I found it to be much easier for my...

    My first recorded song with my new equip!

    Thank you for your response. I tried adding reverb to my voice, but the preset was too much for my liking. I tried adjusting the different settings (turned each one about half way down: room size, damping, wet, dry...) but it still seemed so unnatural to me, that I just took it off. I would...

    My first recorded song with my new equip!

    Just a public thank you to Chili for doing that for me. I was writing to HR Contact Us to try to fix my mistake of posting to the wrong forum, as he was fixing it! That was fast! I am hoping to hear from some of you about my song...

    My first recorded song with my new equip!

    Please listen to my song, and provide any feedback you feel/think might help me with my future projects. It is a simple recording, with only my piano + a little reverb, and 2 tracks of vocals - no effects. I don't aspire to go pro, but I want to learn and grow so that I can create decent...

    Tell Me What You Think

    ok, so, I'm no pro, but I read this late last night, and remembered it tonight. I have a thought that hasn't been brought up, so here goes: I have doubts that you would know (she's) the only thing that's real, seeing you let her walk away, and didn't seem to have made much of a connection to...

    Let's continue the conversation about "gain structure"

    I've printed this, and several other threads to my OneNote, so that I can easily refer to all of this very useful information. I'm going to take the next few days to absorb all of this, while experimenting with my new equipment. My dad always used to tell me to understand my question before I...

    WHY are iTunes live recordings so much better than studio - of the same songs??

    I like it - thanks for taking the time for me! The things you said put a smile on my face. Not because I completely understand everything, but because You struck a chord (pardon the pun) with me on several points you made. I'm listening to everything differently already. Instead of just...

    Let's continue the conversation about "gain structure"

    You guys are awesome. Thanks so much. Actually, after talking with my son (who helped us those couple of weeks we were trying to prepare the vocal tracks), he remembered a couple of things I forgot. (I'm definitely heading over to become more informed at the website you recommended, anyway) We...

    Let's continue the conversation about "gain structure"

    Hi Mike, I'm pasting part of your comment here, so we can hopefully talk about it. gecko zzed wrote: Incidentally you refer to dynamic mikes and overloading the DP004. I expect this is not a problem with the mikes, but more a problem with gain structure. 'Gain structure' may not mean much...

    Adding Midi tracks to Pre-Recorded Audio?

    What about live tracks? If you use headphones, and you know your midi interface well enough, couldn't you just play along with your pre-recorded tracks as desired? You would lose the use of looping for specific sections, but it might be fun to accompany yourself in a more "live" way, if you...

    WHY are iTunes live recordings so much better than studio - of the same songs??

    Thnx - but SERIOUSLY, I posted here, hoping for some tips!! I'm listening to stuff I like. I know it's not the norm. Probably not that marketable, but it's what I like. As I go into this phase of my life, where I'm trying to chronicle the songs that came from my heart, and my experience in...

    Home Recording's Dirty Little Secret

    Er, Um, so many of you are so knowledgeable... But, here's the thing for me. I was asked to do a couple of songs for a memorial service (my friend was dying of cancer). We had a few weeks to pull things together, because it was obvious he didn't have long in this world. My friend, who sang...

    Simple test: Condenser vs. Dynamic

    Aw, Thanks for that! That is so cool that you offered your advice. That sort of stuff is right up my hubby's alley. I will be sure to share this with him. We should be receiving the new equip, including the pop filter, some time this week.

    WHY are iTunes live recordings so much better than studio - of the same songs??

    I've purchased several iTunes exclusive "live" recordings, and I ALWAYS prefer these over what was done in the studio. Has anyone else noticed this? Does anyone know what the fundamental differences are?? For instance, "Make You Feel My Love" - Adele "Love Song" - Sara...
