I've used it before to rip audio from an old Roland VS standalone recorder into Reaper as wav files. It worked fine.

There's just no substitute for knowing your scales. Theory more broadly, I couldn't say. I don't know much of it apart from the how to build standard and color chords and which chords generally go with which tones in a scale. Here is one thing any player ought to learn to do, automatically...

Yeah, this is a big step forward. I noticed right away the jump in vocal level at the first chorus. Good. That gives the chorus a lift. I heard something on the very last "almost," right at the end of the song. Your vocal is getting tangled up in something. There's a muddiness there. What...

That's out of time. To fix it, you need to hear it first. Turn on the gridlines in your DAW. Zoom in on the waveform of that guitar part. You'll see that it starts in time. Then the eighth notes begin to get sloppy, then it all goes off the rails. Are you tapping your foot while you...

Good video. This is your best song of the one I remember hearing.

That's the Abbey Road chamber reverb, not the plate. Still a lot of work to do on the drums. It's not that often that I write songs in 3/4 times, so I might need practice. I'm hearing some inconsistencies in the bass level. When I fix that it might help drive the song better. I think my...

Great groove. I dig the melody and lyrics from what I can tell of them. Bit of an 80s New Wave vibe to it. You've got some work to do on editing the lead vocal for levels. LOTS of inconsistency there--lounder, then quiter, then loud, then barely audible." For example, listen to the verse...

Nicely balanced mix, as far as the instrumental part goes. Bass level is perfect. Guitars are sitting well, doing their job without being overbearing. I understand Steve's comment about the arena sound. I would say the same about that guitar solo--the intro lead to some extent but especially...

Thanks Johnny. Want to sing it? :guitar: Not sure about the ending yet. It could fade with an acoustic solo over that ending part that modulates to a different key. Yeah, I like tone of that electric solo. That's the only electric guitar in the song, again. It's a Les Paul through my...

New mix in the OP, new lead vocal take and double.

It's a pretty inefficient way to write songs but it's my method as well.

Thanks 3M. Have't seen you around much lately. Glad you're back.

Good mix as always. I agree with Jimmy about the vocals--really good. I agree with Steve about the crash cymbals, but you could have guess that already. The transients on the attack of the lead vocal sound a little out of control here and there--I noticed for example on "Break" in a few...

I like this. The thing with any kind of electronica or ambient music is this: It needs to take you on a journey, introducing new elements to the soundscape along the way. This does that. Five and a half minutes is on the long side for an instrumental composition, but it kept me engaged to...

Thanks. There is a keyboard there, but maybe not at the right level in the mix.

New mix in the OP. I got rid of some delay on the rhythm guitars that was tangling up the groove somewhat. First order of business is to get the groove solid. I'll take another swing at the programmed drums and get up another mix, maybe tomorrow night. BTW, like everything I post at the...

I listened to the version in the OP. Song sounds interesting. That bass intro is really cool. That "who can save us now..." chorus is catchy. The mix needs more clarity and balls for lack a better word. I want to hear the bass and drums, that dum da da dum rhythm driving the song. Instead...

I agree the mix is cluttered. First things first, though. You overcooked the mastering. The result is harsh and brittle. It's hard to tell what the original mix sounded like prior to all the boosting and limiting. If you are interested in mix advice, you should consider disabling the...

Brand new song, still tweaking lyrics and things. Haven't decided on the ending yet. Let me know what you think. These are my demo vocals and programmed drums. The plan is to bring in a good singer. Drums will need a makeover for sure. Thanks! Latest mix: Silver Glide_Ray Taylor_mix...
