    If you've recorded a CD at home that you're selling, please check this out

    yeah I know what a tabla is. I brought one back from india when I was there . . . I'm just guessing, but from lywsdkyn (or whatever it is) 's previous posts, you should go for it and send your CD. I'd be into hearing some of your music - is there a website where we can listen to mp3s? if yes...

    Another 2 Songs for You guys!

    I can see why you like "weak" if it's you opn guitar - that's some silky fretwork :D , but you're right, "weak" is the best one, or at least the one I like the best. I'll be honest and say that this is not really my type of thing, but you guys have a decent sound and you seem fairly tight as a...

    Another 2 Songs for You guys!

    listened to Colours of the Fall - very nice. the guitars I like very much, they have a real bite and kick to them. the vocals are maybe a bit too far back in the mix, but I'm listening on a crappy computer speaker at work so maybe it's fine. also, is it just me or is the band playing slightly...

    do i have a good thing going?

    well, the recording is MUCH better than the other songs - eg. come on. your vocals still need work, but I know you know that . . . other than that, I didn't think the song was as good as your other ones - it's kind of bland. there's no real hook to the song, it just kind of goes along without...

    Chicken or the Egg?

    chickeny egg Jack White hs said the way he writes "the first chord and the first line all sort of come out together", which is the way I work I think. I start with just one line usually, but I can't dp it without lyrics, even if it's just for rythmic effect, or so I remember the melody. so...

    computer expert needed!

    thanks hey guys, thank you very much for all the replies - I didn't expect to get much of a response, but this is the most replies I've ever got. I checked everything out and it seemed ok to me, so I ended up taking it back to the people who sold it to me. I'd rather just let them deal with it...

    computer expert needed!

    hi, I now this is not a computer forum, but I'm building my own PC for home recording, and I've got a small (BIG) problem . . . ok, I have the CPU, motherboadr and power supply connected, as well as the monitor. everything powers up fnie, the CPU fan runs, the lights come on the motherboard...

    do i write to a beat or write then find a beat

    I think that's wicked advice. there's another thread - there's another thread somewhere when aaron cheney talks about having a "creative" hat (where you write anything that comes out) and an "editing" hat where you cancel out the crap bits. I can't find the link to post, but I think it's under...

    How much do 'successful' indie bands make?

    yeah . . .but edzell makes some good points, but aren't you missing the much larger cost of marketing your product/album/show? the thing is, production costs etc are always low, for indies or majors, but the difference is in promotiuon. most majors don't even break even until they sell a...

    cool edit real time effects, buffer increase?

    dam . . .I've got a much slower system and mine can run as many real time effects as I like (I've never had use for more than like . . .6), so it can't be a problem with cep . . . hows your system setup? is it cluttered with other programs not used for music production? I dunno, seems real...

    I need some BASS

    yeah that's what I want to know also - although I have since discovered some pretty good bass sounds on fruityloops - really loking for a good funk (not toooo cheesy) sounding bass soft synth - is there such a thing? :confused:

    If you've recorded a CD at home that you're selling, please check this out

    sorry rathkana I don't understand how this relates either . . . are you gonna submit a CD? lykwydchykyn, I liked your site, and will be keen to submit a CD, but at this stage I just don't feel it's up to par. I'm gonna re-record the whole thing and then submit it, so don't give up on the site...

    How much do 'successful' indie bands make?

    hmmm . . . that's a good question really. how do icons like John Cale continue to live off piddly alnum sales and undersold tours? my guess is it's all to do with communities. Someone like Paul Westenberg or Jeff Tweedy may not have a lot of international celebrity, but they have a lot of...

    what is a publishing deal?

    yeah, I agree. royalties are your income 20 years down the line . . . giving them up is a BIG decision. get an exprienced lawyer bro.

    Are these XLR/1/4" cables ok to use?

    I am new also hi, I am new to this also, but I am using xlr to 1/4" cables and they are working fine. as far as balanced/unbalanced cables go, you don't need balanced cables unless the signal is travelling a long distance (ie. over 20 metres). I think there is negligable difference in sound...

    Listening to your own stuff?

    agreed, but I don't think there's anything wrong with wanting to listen to you own stuff, as long as that's not ALL you listen to . . . be proud of your work, but keep some prespective

    MP3 Hosting question...

    hey thanks for the suggestions - that sounds like a good deal NL5, even though I wouldn't be able to take advantage of the support from down here in lil' NZ. I think I'll try some local places first (when the sh** hits, I want someone to talk to), although there seems like some good prices out...

    Listening to your own stuff?

    it's not abnormal to want to listen to your stuff - if you didn't hink it was good, why did you write/record it? but yeah, glynb is right, it's better not to listen to it ALL the time. otherwise you get so far up your own arse you lose your perspective on what's good and what's not. it's like...

    what's wrong with this mix?

    hey thanks hey guys, wow good ears! yes I am using chorus on the guitars, but I did not know that's what that effect does. also, the beats are from fruityloops, which automatically pirches them to C, and now I think of it, the song is in G, so probably an idea to change that as well . . ...
