    Copyrighting one song at a time vs a collection

    So are the legal protections the same if I copyright a collection of songs vs one song at a time? I'm referring to copyrighting the songs themselves rather than the finished recordings. This is with the US copyright office by the way.

    Is 5:05 too long for an up beat modern country song?

    Yeah it's to try to sell. I think where I'm at is definitely the max in terms of length. There are some instrumental melodic hooks going on that sound a little incomplete when I trim them back. They're not riffs just for sake of noodling, they're more melodic hooks. There is a dedicated solo...

    Is 5:05 too long for an up beat modern country song?

    It definitely doesn't feel that long. I was pretty surprised when I saw that run time. But I'm not exactly impartial. :D Any words of wisdom out there? I know I'm not giving much to go on.

    Tell me about the Zoom r series recorders for use as an interface

    That's another reason why I was thinking of donig the R series route. It would be nice to have a remote way of recording when the need called for it. Plus a friend was using it with cubase le on his win7 machine, and I was pretty impressed with the results. I've tried the focusrite route and was...

    Tell me about the Zoom r series recorders for use as an interface

    Yeah I thought about going the used route, but there's a lot of horror stories out there about people having difficult times getting different pieces of daw recording gear to cooperate with each other. I"d like the option of returning it if it doesn't work with my system for some reason or if...

    seperate midi interface used with a recording interface?

    That's, right, sorry! It should have been 1/4". I would think cubase would give the option of designating which device is being used for midi. I'll have to experiment with that.

    seperate midi interface used with a recording interface?

    Ok, so let's say I'm running a Zoom R8 or R16 into my windows 7 pc (32 bit) to use as an audio interface. My recording software is Cubase LE. The Zoom has no midi, so let's say I want to send midi messages to my drum machine to control when it starts and stops. The drum machine (alesis sr-16)...

    Fair cut of royalties for friends' recordings?

    Hi all, first time poster to this forum. Not sure if it's the right place, but it seemed to be the closest fit. Quick question. I'm entering into an agreement with a friend to produce/arrange/record and perform on demos of his songs. He's agreeing to sing on some of mine. We're trying to come up...

    LDC's for acoustic guitar on a budget

    Which LDC's under $200 are people using to record acoustic guitars and other acoustic instruments? Preferably in conjunction with a second mic. Also, preferably something that could also be used as a second option to record vocals (although that's not as important as a good acoustic guitar...

    Condenser mics for vocals on a budget

    Hi all, I'm looking for a good condenser mic for vocals for home recording. I'm running cubase le on a windows 7 pc. I'm looking for something that can handle a wide range of vocal styles and voices, including a baritone male, a male that's more in tenor territory, and female vocals. Primary...

    next step in trying to achive greater clarity

    Ok, so I recorded a couple of demos in a buddy's studio. He's running Cubase LE 5 on a windows 7 machine (64 bit) with a zoom recorder for an interface. He uses a roland digital drum set, sometimes an acoustic drum set, and he has a couple of decent mics to record vocals and guitar, but I...

    which mp3 converter?

    Quick question: I need to download something to convert from WAV to mp3. I'd like a program that makes it easy to convert at different quality settings. Are there differences in sound quality between any of the programs? Free is best, but I wouldn't mind spending a little bit for something...

    Sharing project files between two different cubase le DAW's with different interfaces

    Hey quick question. I recorded some stuff on a friend's DAW. He's running cubase le 5 with a zoom recorder for his interface. I'm using cubase le 5 also but with a scarlett 2i4 interface. I'd like to get a copy of the project files from him and open them up in my cubase. I'm pretty sure I need...

    Help! Was shipped 32 bit Win 7 instead of 64 bit...

    Ok, so this falls under the mantra "you get what you pay for." I bought a computer for cheap online. The company had great customer feedback reviews so I figured I'd take a chance. They shipped the machine. Didn't boot up. Turns out after some research, I likely had a fried motherboard (an...

    Question about usb interfaces and analog to digital converters

    I'm actually getting a refurb so the price wasn't that bad. The seller has an extremely good customer feedback rating with a decent return policy, so hopefully I won't get burned. As far as the open slots, the specs say: Number of Total Expansion Slots: 4 Number of PCI Slots: 1 Number of PCI...
