Thanks for listening and taking the time to comment. Unfortunately I have to now sit through a day at work before I can get back into my music room and put these suggestions into practice. @ Steve – When you say about the violin, that’s a great idea I will give that a go – would your...

Hi all, Can someone have a quick listen to this song that I've just recorded, and mixed, and mastered (well, attempted to anyway). I'm not sure if I need to raise the vocal volume slightly - on three devices that I've listened to it ok it sounds ok, but on another, the guitar seems to dominate...

Wowzers. Firstly it isn't what I'd call my 'usual cup of tea' :), but that's not to say that it's not going to be to someone else's flavour. Anyway, who am I to sit here and give a critique of someone else's work - I pump out shyte like a newborn baby. IMO, and IMO only - I'm liking the...

Hey gang, This is the first time that I've tried to mix 'do' a song with more than 4 tracks - I think that this ended up at 28 actually. I think that I bit off more than I can chew actually - so next time I will go for slightly less. The song can be found here on my Soundcloud...

Hi all, This is the first time that I've tried to mix 'do' a song with more than 4 tracks - I think that this ended up at 28 actually :facepalm: I think that I bit off more than I can chew actually - so next time I will go for slightly less - but if anyone can maybe just point me in the right...

I use 2 as my 'main' mics. Rode NT1A - predominantly bought for recording acoustic guitar, but IMO I get some pretty good results with it vocally, and there's my Shure SM58 which I also get pretty good vocal results from. I also have a ApogeeMic which I use when knocking things up on...

Recently I've been pinning a bed sheet to the ceiling so it fell behind the mic like a curtain. But over the weekend, when I knew that the Mrs was going to be out for longer than normal, I grabbed a double sheet from the bedroom draw and made like a 'U' shaped 'booth'. I think that kinda worked.

Well it totally depends on what you're trying to achieve :thumbs up: If you want to get a record deal then yeah obviously. If you want to record your own stuff and put it out there - then it's totally up to you. There's 7.1 billion people in the world - someone somewhere's gotta like it...

Thanks! I don't think that it ended up too bad in the end. I was messing about on Friday, and started working on a 'dance' tune for something COMPLETELY different. I've never ever attempted anything like this, and to be honest I'm still wondering why - but it's just another learning...

Hi, Firstly, thanks for taking the time to listen and comment – It’s much less scathing that I thought it was going to be :) It’s good to hear that it’s not massively wrong, and I always knew that there was going to be things that were ‘off’. I completely agree what you’ve all said that the...

Christ - I've just listened to some of the other tracks that people have posted in this thread. :eek: I think the term "Totally out of your depth" springs to mind.

Hi all, I've been a 'home recordist' for a while now, previously only using an USB mic, iPad, and Garageband. Recently I've upgraded to an iMac - Logic Pro X - and Rode NT1-A mic as things were getting a little stagnant - plus I needed to upgrade computers for my job. This is the first time...

Well, I've finally got around to completing a couple more songs. I've recently found myself with quite a number of new songs, so I start on them, but I soon get bored and move onto another. I'm not sure if that's just my personality, or (which I suspect is the case) the songs are shyte and...

As of last night - yes I know it could do with a tidy up, and I don't really know why I persist with sitting on the floor using my laptops, when I've got a lovely iMac on the desk just out of shot. I really would like to have somewhere nice, i'll get there in time.

Quick Update: I added some additional guitar last night when I had a few spare minutes - they're far too loud at the moment but it gives the gist of things on how I want this to proceed. (also sang through the other potential verses so I could cut and re-arrange if I had time). Also, I'm...

Wow, this is quite a topic hey. I'm not the OP, but did chime in a few pages back. For many years previous I've been an avid home-recorder, and smashing out sub-standard songs left-right-and-and centre - using a knackered Apogee MiC and trusty garageband on my iPad. Oh to hear the music that...

I've just picked up some M Audio AV42 monitors - £99 for the pair. Best monitors I've had - saying that though, I've never had a set before so I have nothing to compare them to ;) I wanted some KRK ones, as they're the ones that you always seem to see in pictures of home studios, but when teh...

Oh man, bang on with that comment !! I'm doing it all the damn time. I get this urge to write a song, get a little bit hyped up - then end up with some wishy-washy namby-pamby middle of the road folk thing. I even bore myself when listening to it back. So I scrap it - start again - and hey...
