I haven't had any luck with nowhere radio for some reason. I can't get anything to work. I'll try again later Ray J

Thanks for the input everyone. Keep em coming. My tune with the doubled vocal is still in the works and I'm gonna try some of this stuff and see what I like best. I agree about the tight delay, back when I was using 4 track I use to use it on the lead vocal on some songs and it fattens it a bit...

Can't really give you advice on a genre. I'm not sure what's available outside of the few genres that I dwell within. THe tune sounds fine. The recording came out good in my opinion and the tune is one of your best. I'm listening again, yeah, this is a good one. slim. Nice work Ray J

tmcbrinn - I'm dealing with 8 tracks therefore, I'm usually lucky to have 1 track left over to double the lead vocal and I usually stick harmony, if there is any, on the guitar solo track or something. More tracks would be nice to play around with. Pete - yeah, I usually don't pan while I track...

GH yeah, I'm definitely tracking at hi noon, I was doing the panning during mixdown. I pulled it further to the middle and it sounded quite nice. Think I'm gonna use it. Ray J

Joey, sounds good. I particularly like the kick drum sound on "It's about that time". It's really punchy. Nice tunes, I use an md8 also but the recordings arent' as good as what you guys are doing. Is the heavy rythmn guitar in "Twilight" doubled or triple tracked? Ray J...

Thanks fellas. Very interesting. I know what you guys mean by hard panning, I've tried it and didn't like the way it sounds. I only have 8 tracks, so tripling is out of the question for me on most songs. I tried pulling them a little more toward the center, around 10 and 2 and it sounded a...

For those of you who have doubled your lead vocal track in the past. How hard are you panning each track? I would have thought panning hard would be best, but I always seem to settle in around 9:30 and 2:30. There seems to be a 'sweet spot' somewhere around there. What are you guys doing...

THe tunes were pretty nice. I can hear the' room' on the accoustic guitar track or something was muddying up the accoustic guitar just a little. The sound of the crash cymbal itself wasn't that bad therefore I'm assuming 'wide awake' was referring to the use of it. I also listened to the little...

Nice, tight tune. Doing the drums individually will help some. THe crash cymbal was the thing that sounded a little abnormal because a lack of decay time. I use a drum machine too and have the same problem. I usually try to downplay the crash and use it as little as possible. The tune itself was...

This is heavy, Ted. Uhh, what grade are we talking about here? Ha, they musta loved it. I like the 'time' of the song, whatever this one actually is (1/3 etc) and the guitar is doing some interesting stuff. Which amp model from the pod do you use for the heavy rythmn in this song and is it...

Emeric Nice tune. I DL ed it. The background vocals are awesome and I really like the sound of the kick drum. Another fine effort. Sounded like the song lost a little focus at the end(lol) but otherwise, sounded great Ray J

Ulli, Great song. The production sounds radio ready to me. Very good work. The tune is nice and Jazzy/Funky, kinda alternative Sade sounding. Great work Ray J

Macle Thanks for listening. To answer your question, I use an Alesis drum machine. Instead of programming it, I usually play it manually. I had to put the snare and the toms on the same track due to track limitations and couldn't treat them separately in the mix. This, coupled with the fact...

I don't use keyboard that much so I'm not looking to sink a lot of money into one, but I need cello sounds for the song I'm working on now. Any cheap keyboards out there with usable cello sounds?

WOW. THis is great. Is everything doubled or something? The piano and accoustic guitar and maybe the cello sounds sound doubled or put on two tracks each or something. It sounds really strong. Yeah, I'm definatey hearing two accoustic guitars. What doing the cello sounds? This is a nice piece...

Beezelbubba- thanks for listening, I totally missed your post, thanks for the compliments. Jusumpilgrim - I'm sure the overall volume is low. Most of my stuff is. I have a cheap compressor that I track with when I can get away with it but I don't dare put my Nanocomp on the whole mix. Yuk...

Jags - I heard the tune. Unconventional, but not bad at all. God knows I'm no one to give advice on drums but I thought the cymbals could have been lower in the mix or eq'ed differently or something. The vocals certainly had a who-ish sound at times. Doubling, tripleing the vocals whatever...

Hey P I tried earlier to get your stuff but it wasn't happening on artist launch. I'm glad I decided to come back to check. I got Java to work and checked out your tune. I thought it was gonna be electronica when I heard the intro. I was glad to hear a bass and later a guitar come into the...

Jim, regarding your question, Javamusic, arelatively new site, but growing fast, charges nothing and pays a few cents per 'virgin' download Ray J
