You may want to read some of the articles over at amptone.com. I've been using a POD for several years now. It's not bad, but, meh, it's not real exciting either. If I were you I'd be going for a low-wattage tube combo. I used to run sound in a basement club, these high-schoolers would come...

1. To change IRQ's in windows XP, you need to go to device manager: right-click "my computer", select "manage", select "device manager". On the right you'll see all the hardware on your pc, organized by type. Double-click on a piece of hardware you want to change to bring up its properties...

Absolutely. You're better off charging a relatively low price than giving it away. Why not put together a little EP and selling it for a couple bucks above cost? That would put you in the $5 range, depending on how many you had pressed and whatnot. As for quality, the first two indy albums...

Congrats dude! Are you guys gonna be gigging to sell these?

Thanks! I think indieshout does reviews, but I'm not sure of too many others... I'm sure they're out there, though.

A bio write up wouldn't hurt. I agree with what the others were saying about that picture, too. One piece of advice: don't use a mailto: tag. Unless you like getting hammered with spam, of course. Most people's browsers aren't configured to use mailto: tags anyway. I've found the best way...

Hey guys, LoveLaborMusic.com just got a major overhaul, check it out and let me know what you think!

Pashop, I'm not talking about sounding like someone else. If you do what you do and it kind of sounds like someone else, that's only natural. We all draw from our influences, we all build off the past. I'm talking about people I've met who have reached a point where there's no love left in...

Those aren't the people I'm referring to when I talk about "selling your soul to get ahead". I'm talking about the kind of people I see around nashville all the time, who come here with a passion and a love for music and end up losing their identity because they are so damned concerned about...

I was working on a piece about how to write a bio, but I doubt I'll finish it for a while now. I think the main point about press kits is that they are marketing, pure and simple. Your band (or for live gigs, your show) is the product, and you're trying to sell it. That said, there are a lot...

Nah, I do agree with that. I just think it goes both ways, and there are musicians who are quick to judge something pop-friendly as automatically bad. And I try to stay on the positive side of things these days; I've been through the bitter artist thing and it got me nowhere. I've kind of...

call the phone company and ask.

Pashop you're giving a valuable perspective here. I think a lot of people want to draw assumptions about others to give themselves a certain sense of justice in the world. We all do it to an extent. We see someone who doesn't seem as talented or as passionate about music as we are and need to...

The question I keep asking myself is whether it's actually getting worse, or if I'm just finally getting old enough to see through the hype and see the music industry for what it's always been. Look at the bright side (warning: rehashed discussion) 1. It's cheaper than ever to record a decent...

The page isn't coming up for some reason... Keep fighting the good fight, Ron.

Oh man! I thought I was a bad web designer...

Oh man! I thought I was a bad web designer...

What exactly is the problem?

Yeah, pretty cool song. I would bring up the guitars, the vocals are maybe a little hot for rock and the drums stick out a little much for me. That's about the best sound I'd expect from that setup, though. Good job!

That filter sweep effect that comes in about 0:23 and reappears in other parts of the songs doesn't sound right to me. Sounds very out of place. The rest sounds good; I generally try to avoid doing too much mixing until all the tracks are in place personally. Bring it all together so you can...
