    Thank you both. I've heard from others about the vocals in mix. I am going to work on that. Thanks again. Bob Seger? I've gone to over a thousand concerts. In the early 80s, I knew and worked for some ticket scalpers. One gave me a stack of tickets for Seger at MSG to sell. He said get...

    Arranging (IMO)

    For the most part Ramones songs are under 3 minutes, and the early stuff is under 2 minutes. They are what's known as the exception to the rule. There are others, but very few. Since I don't speak in musical language, I hope I can make my point clear. Because it can only help when recording...

    when I was alive

    I could hear every, so I'm not going to mention the mix. But, that's a really good song.

    Besides the mix, if there's any blaring off-key vocals or anything, let me know. I wanted to try something different. Depending on the level, I started this in mono. I'm a little strange. The lyrics are in the soundcloud notes, if you care. Partners by Frances Farmer My Hero | Free...

    Precious Moment (Pop)

    It's not a bad song. It wouldn't be a hit in 2020. Everything about this says 80s. If you're writing songs that you eventually want to pitch. You need to listen to the radio at what's being playing and try to duplicate those sounds. That keyboard you're playing sounds like it could be from the...

    New song - Baby Baby

    Very cool song. Especially loved the guitar work.

    The connection between listening and good songwriting

    This is just my opinion. There's two ways to create music. One for personal pleasure. The second in hopes of getting noticed. If you're doing it for yourself, do what you want. Because it doesn't matter. As long as you're happy and proud of what you did, you're not aiming for mass audience...

    Brahms True Dissonance Thing

    I have to check the drums now. I think I might have played them live. Which is probably the cause. I spent the day redoing the guitars (though I kept the originals) and I'm not sure if I like the new version better. The break is pretty cool depending on what speakers you listen to it on. I...

    Thank you!

    Brahms True Dissonance Thing

    I can really use some open-minded opinions on this. I always send a copy of my songs to select friends to guide me on my out-of-key notes. It's always my vocals. I knew the guitar parts were weird, because of the fluid acoustic chords. I didn't know they were dissonant. There is good dissonance...

    Midi Files Not Uploading

    I guess because I wrote it, I still understand what I was asking. The problem I needed help with was importing a midi file into Pro Tools that I exported from melodyne. The audio file paragraph is an example of the way to import an audio file into Pro Tools when the audio file will not...

    Midi Files Not Uploading

    Nevermind. It just started working.

    Midi Files Not Uploading

    I have Pro Tools 6. When I want to upload any audio file (usually exported from melodyne) it never works. So, I right click on the audio file and choose open with Pro Tools. The audio file is uploaded and everything works great. I changed a live drum track in melodyne to a midi file. I tried...

    A Plug In to Use While Mixing

    I'm probably not going to explain this correctly. But, I'm hoping someone will be able to recognize what I'm looking for. Somewhere on a thread someone mentioned a "plug in" that shows the range of waves while mixing, so you can be sure you're not to high or low, and that your mix has a proper...

    Fire in the Hole

    I hope this isn't an insult. This has a vibe of heavy metal when I used to listen to it (early Sabbath). I think it sounds great. I'm sure it could be mixed till the end of time. But, if I heard this version I wouldn't turn it off.

    How did you develop as a songwriter ?

    In 1979 or 80 I bought a used Telecaster and wanted to learn to play. I had just broken up with my girlfriend and was in the dumps. I drove into a gas station where I knew a guitarist worked and asked if he'd teach me. He responded "There are a million guitarists for every bass player. Learn...

    Xmas Eve

    I almost turned this off a minute in, it was good for a few repetitions when it started. But, when it kept going it got on my last nerve. But, then the full instrumentation kicked in and the vocals, and it's really cool. A little long (the beginning), and the backing vocals took it to another...

    I love dark. It's in my blood. I'd settle for being Johanson/Thunders. More Thunders. He was truer to rock.

    It does. I am putting this sucker away for a long while. I'll come back to it fresh. Because in the end, if you're not happy with your own song, you can't really expect others to be. The strange part with this song, my friends and from other sites really like the riff I play. I'm completely torn...

    You ever record a song and like it one minute and can't stand it the next? Maybe I'm getting too picky, or maybe not picky enough. Any thoughts would be appreciated.
