    vocal quality

    hi, I have a question about vocals. When I let my friends hear my songs, they always say that the vocals are unclear and they can't understand the lyrics. I know it's not because of the mic because I used the same mic on my porta 03 and it sounded fine. Even if I boost the volume of the vocals...

    guitar from freaky friday?

    it's not that guitar. You know the one towards the end of the movie when they're playing at the wedding. It's kinda shaped like a les paul and the knobs are aligned in a straight line. Do you know about that guitar?

    what should I do with my life??

    I just thought, what If I choose to form a punk band in the future and then realize... what the hell was I studying music composition for? that stuff is hard and now I'm playing powerchords. I would feel like I'm not using my knowledge that I learned about theory, harmony etc.. not even my...

    what should I do with my life??

    yup the notation for drums is a little awkward to read. I can play drums and sometimes when our jazz drummer is too lazy to practice, I take over and read the sheet music but only when we're playing ballads coz they're not too fast. I thought about study in a classical trombone program but...

    what should I do with my life??

    There is punk in belgium but the funny thing is, I'm a belgian who can't speak belgian and my songs are all in english. It would feel wierd for me. Well thanks for the replys. Now I'm sure I'll be taking is the jazz route. All I needed was a little patience.

    what should I do with my life??

    Thanks for the reply. One thing that crossed my mind was that If I go and start a punk band, I would be just wasting my composition degree. The only thing that hinders me from studying jazz trombone is that while I'm still in the Philippines studying compostion, I don't have a trombone...

    my first serious song!!!

    I know why there is a lot of compression on the song even though I didn't add a lot of compression. When I did a digital transfer through spdif to my audiophile 2496, I set the levels on the soundcard control panel and the gain level would be colored green only. I didn't let it reach yellow or...

    my first serious song!!!

    thanks for your comments. For the drums I used a zoom drum machine but I pay close attention in programming it. I read a lot of posts about drum machines not having realistic sounding symbals. I tried 5 different kits on the drum machine and this one sounded the best. How do you guys who use...

    my first serious song!!!

    http://www.nowhereradio.com/artists/album.php?aid=3039&alid=599 I recorded a few songs on a porta 03 a year ago but now I bought a tascam 788 and this is my first attempt. I'm not a vocalist so I'm not proud of my singing. I'll probably get one sometime. Any comments or suggestions would be...

    songwriting diploma

    Toker41- You’re right. Music theory doesn’t help a lot especially in pop. I have a lot of songs without lyrics though. I read some articles about songwriting yesterday and it helped a lot. My dad teaches creative writing and poetry here in the university but that that would be too weird for me...

    songwriting diploma

    Thanks, that was what I needed. Do you think a songwriting degree would be a big plus on my biography when I pass my demo cd? Or would record companies not notice it?

    songwriting diploma

    What if I already have a degree in Composition, will the certificate program still be good for helping me with my lyric writing? Will I need to take the Fundamentals of Music course even if I have a university degree in composition?

    Digital Multitrack Recorders

    HepMeSumbody-- I had the same problem as you. I needed bass modelling but when I read reviews of the boss br-532 and br-1180, they said that the bass modeling sounded fluffy and sometimes the wrong note gets recorded. What I did was, I downloaded Cubasis AV from the Steinberg website and I made...
