The guys at KVR suggested I try Reaper - free 2 month trial, highly customizable and even codeable, so I did. There's a learning curve but it's doable and I don't think Reaper is going away. 2 cents.

Sad, I've been with them since Home Studio 2004.

Lordy I love the mix you put together. Bass guitar, best sounding bass mix I've heard in awhile. Left guitar, check. Keys, check, fit nicely in there with the other guitar on the right side. Lead sitting wonderfully. Every instrument has its own sound in the register, something we can all aim...

Thanks for the props, he's always been a hero of mine.

Chaz, Are the Motown songs audio, or a bunch of midi tracks? Timbo

I think you'll be surprised that when you back away from the mic with the acoustic that you'll not have to compress as much. You'll not be surprised to find that you'll get that less-dead space too.

I like what you did here, and I like that song and playing. And love the vocal delivery. Acoustic is tough to mix, as I've discovered. I think you found a nice balance between too compressed and letting the dynamics of the fairly hard strumming come through. At "an ordinary something" I...

Thanks for the details andrushkiwt, and thanks to everybody. I'll see what I can do with what you heard. Timbo

Sorry, I'm daft sometimes ... TripleM, there's a touch of verb on the vox but everyone here hears it as dry - I'll relisten and check out 3:26. Thanks for the listen!

Thanks folks, this is building into some excellent advice. VHS, I tried to make the lyrics interpretable = either the mother was a witch or the dad was the witch. Snowman, you hit the nail on the head = arthritic fingers did the best they could and you heard or didn't hear the result. I like...

I'll have to address that then!

Thanks Manslick, is it the total low end or the low end of the "low end" instruments? - I've got no treatment here. Thanks for the listen - Timbo

So I've worked on this song for awhile. I'm not a regular contributor, but I try to help some of the folks new to recording and mixing from time to time- I don't feel I'm that far away from them. I've upgraded my gear recently, including working with a guy who does the drums for my stuff which...

Interesting, I thought that would be it for certain. Thanks for the props, I was listening to a lot of Bowie!

Sonar X3 looks like this for metronome I think I attached it correctly. Timbo

Just a guess, but you may have zeroed the volume to 0 in Preferences. Have a look there, too.

Great, can't wait to hear the finished product. Timbo

What I meant about the envelope is automating the volume on that synth and using it to decrease the volume, rather than letting the synth's decay setting do it. It was "lasting" too long and getting in the way of the next part of the song. As for the song's tempo, unless you have million dollar...

I like this tune, Nola, very original. I enjoyed the glitchy intro. I have the same problem with pitchy vox, what I've done recently is to add a piano track that is the same notes as the lead vocals. I find practicing with it and actually recording with it (then muting it of course!) helps me...

My bad, I obviously don't know how to use their redesigned website. I found their expansions. I really appreciate your help. As for the genre, it was a 1 time only project - all god related rock and soul music, kind of fun to do.
