Couldn't quite figure out the best forum for this, but hopefully some folks here can help me out. I currently have a subscription to Electronic Musician which is about to expire. I've found that, on occasion, I find some useful nuggets in there, but for the most part, I find that a lot of the...

I agree with others about the trumpet solo - the song's begging for a killer guitar solo or a nice strong-attack synth solo. I also thought that the change in panning of the bg vocals near the end was a bit distracting. Otherwise, I really dug the tune! Sounded great, very tight, and nice...

I would second moskus' recommendation of HS2004, unless "money is no object" for you, then go for Sonar (and while you're at it, I could use a nice set of monitors :D). While you don't think you have much use for MIDI now, having it available as an option is definitely a good idea, because it...

The first one had a lot of crackling going on - especially noticeable at the beginning. Besides that, the instrumental seemed well put together for that kind of tune (pop/rap R&B). And, yeah, there seemed to be a big difference in the quality of the vocals between the 2 tunes, so maybe being...

Thanks for the helpful review, rjt! :) At least from the ones you mention, it doesn't sound like there are any real stinkers in the bunch, so I guess I'll just download the whole enchilada then and see what works for me.

Come on, spill, rjt! ;) Which are the good ones in your opinion? That way we can just go out and find those. :) I hate installing a bunch of crap that I don't use, and I'm not disciplined enough to go and uninstall it. That Delay Lama monk guy looks pretty trippy. Even if it's not a very...

Hey, dachay! I liked it a lot (that's such a great tune - hadn't heard it in a while and didn't actually recognize it from the title, so I was pleasantly surprised when I heard what it was :)). You have a really good sound there, some nice subtle stuff in the mix that really adds a lot, like...

Your sound's much better than what I have been able to achieve, so I can't really offer much technical feedback. I just wanted to say I like the sound and the song. One thing I noticed is I thought the main backup vocalist's "You are life" harmonies were flat the first 2 times after coming out...

Just a quick followup. I contacted Behringer technical support to ask about this, and they confirmed that this is how the mixer operates. That was really disappointing since it would have been sweet if it had worked the way I thought it should, but alas... I have to say that I was extremely...

So no different treatment or positioning of the doubled track? Not even a different preamp or mic or anything? Just a close-to-identical additional take is the whole trick to it? Don't you get a lot mud by having close to the same 2 tracks always fighting over the same frequencies? Or does...

FYI - Links to geocities don't work...the address actually has to be manually put into the Address bar. Also, zip files are more work than mp3's, plus they're not as safe. (Maybe I'm paranoid, but I usually wait til someone else comments on a zip file before giving it a try :D)

I don't see why what you're doing wouldn't work - seems to make sense. But what I do i take the output from my mixer's Main Out (Tape Out works too). Those outs have separate L and R outputs, so I do the same thing you were describing using a Y cable taking the 2 mono's into 1 stereo plug into...

I took a few vocal lessons a while back, and my instructor had me actually massage my jaw muscles before warming up. Couldn't hurt... :)

Don't know if this is what you're talking about, but if you're talking about the volume meters, you can right-click on them and select a dB Range (12, 24, 48, 60, 78, 90). If you select 24 or 48, the first mark below 0 is -3 dB.

This is the kind of thing that drives me nuts when I hear about artists that do it, but then again I found myself feeling that same way back when I was playing in my old original band. If people are yelling for a song of yours, that should be taken as a huge compliment that they really really...

Is this the same thing as "selling your song"? Would this same level of difficulty be there when trying to sell your song for anybody (not a particular artist) to use?

Think the main problem is that you're trying to record into your soundcard's Mic In. That input is god awful, has tons of noise, and should only be used with your computer mic for basic stuff. For audio recording, you wanna use the Line In input. The problem is that you need to get things up...

I currently have a Turtle Beach Santa Cruz, but I'll most likely be getting an Audiophile 24/96 within a couple of weeks. The Santa Cruz is nice, but I have unworkable latency (20ms) with it. I'm going to upgrade my memory from 256 to 512 soon to see if that helps any, but I doubt it would...

I think I remember reading that chord progressions could not be copywritten...? So, if that's the case, shouldn't you be able to play the exact same chord progression as Tap the Bottle without any problems? If you start copying any melody lines or lyrics, that's when I thought you've crossed...

Good to hear you think it's weird too. I don't really know much more than the basics about how mixers are supposed to work (with this being the first mixer I've used), but the way this works just didn't seem right (or at least didn't seem very useful) to me. Thanks very much for the tip. Yes...
