It also depends on how they were made...did you pay a lot of money for studio time and to have them made, or did you record at home and "manufacture" the CDs yourself? If (a), then $6.99, if (b) then $4.99 (no matter how many songs, because your profit is huge compared with artists who have a...

gec, I'm sure you're a sincere soul who likes to help and be positive, but I've seen what opening yourself up to the rest of the pack is like, and I'm not even actually looking for a critique -- I'm too much of a cry-baby and don't take criticism well at all. Bodhisan

by the way, Eric J, thanks for the lyrics. Bodhisan

Ah, yes...the other one was rhyming "El Paso" with "big hassle." Simply genious. (I haven't heard the squabble over pompitous, but I wouldn't be that proud to claim it...)

I've got a Rolls, but like the looks of others. It works okay. I don't notice any extra noise.

I hope you're not getting like me, where my right ear is starting to (gulp) lose some hearing ability, so when I wear headphones, center is actually a little left. It's a bitch to mix! Bodhisan

Don, I do agree to a certain extent. It depends on who you're trying to reach. If you want to make money, you write for the kids, and the ones who spend all the money, they only care if it sounds good. If you want to be respected and don't care about the money, then, yeah, you aspire to...

Actually, I like BB's response. Let the audience decide, then you don't have to hold the smokin' gun. Bodhisan

That's what I believe in, bro. I love imperfect rhymes, and a good example of that is something Rolling Stone even published back in the late 70's in their poll as "best odd couplet," of a couple of verses in Steve Miller's "Take The Money and Run." I don't think I can remember the entire...

Brad, It depends on what type of gig this in, i.e. are you playing with him, or do you both have your own sets? If you're playing together, will you both be doing your own songs? If that's the case, let him do what he does and you do what you do. If you're both going to be singing songs...

I was thrilled when I got the Joemeek VC3Q. I have to say now that the only thing I'm not thrilled with is what I'm thinking is the attack and/or threshold -- and correct me if I'm wrong – aspect of it. Even with the compression and attack turned all the way up, and with a strong input signal...

...sounds purdy. I have more of the "sparkle" look in mind. You know, some blue, silver, red and gold...

I've gotten great results miking acoustic guitars and amps (lap and pedal steel) with C1, along with snare (and vocals, of course).

Give a song a try and then let us listen. Bodhisan

From what I've read, Lou Reed is one of the most streamier guys around. I do like Lou, but I can't say I'm moved by his lyrics -- but I'm not a lyric person (I'm one who thinks music is the most important part of songwriting, though shitty lyrics certainly aren't condoned by me). Supposedly...

I actually agree with Weatherbill, although I'm not proud to side with such an angry fella. Lighten up, Weatherbill! It's only rock n' roll... Bodhisan

Beaverbiscuit, Hey, everybody's gotta have their little peeves. One of mine is rhyming girl with world, but, hey, there are songs out there that have sold millions with that rhyme, just as "Shout it" is one of Kiss's biggest hits. What the frick do we know? Bodhisan

Man, I think Hi-Z is great! It's very optimistic and energetic. I just love it. Note: I've never named a successful band, though. Keep it. Hi-Z rules. Bodhisan,

Hi Mazzle, By golly, I used to have an MD4 -- and just loved it. First, in my opinion, you do not need a preamp. The onboard preamp is just incredible on the MD4 (supposedly better than the MD8, which is odd). Mike/mic: A have a C1 which I would enthusiastically recommend. However, it's...

gec, I appreciate the offer, but I'm not a masochist! Honestly, the last people I want critiques from are musicians and recording enthusiasts, because they have totally different ears than the general "listening public." I've sold a number of them (less than 20, but more than 10) the past...
