Brad Smith Thanks to HR and it's members for all the learning, critiques and collaborations. :D

Every one of these songs has been through the clinic here, so I just wanted to share the final product with you. Many of you have helped critique and a few of you I've collaborated with on these songs. If you want to give it a listen, that would be great, if you want to buy it, well, that...

http://soundcloud.com/bjsmusic/we-got-a-love All four you say! I've been sitting on this one for over a year - Perhaps I should have kept sitting! :o;) It's very simple, very cheesy and a little sloppy. :) Here's a remix with swingin drums by PI aka Jason...

(Cover) 2nd attempt - I reworked the vocals a little to fit my range and messed with the drums sounds too. Back-up vocals courtesy of Dave DeWhitt and Joe Mizzi - though they may wish to have their good names removed after hearing this. Oh well, I had fun messing with this. Shred as needed...

So, I took all the dangerous knowledge I've accrued over a year and did my best to completely screw over this song. I re-tracked the vocals and dialed back some of the 25 compressors I had going on the first one. Please forgive the Disney Channel cheese factor; I did write it for kids...

Words and Music by Craig Bennedum / Patrick Mullen. I tracked the guitars and bass and mixed this version. Please let me know what you think. http://soundcloud.com/bjsmusic/like-a-wave Now, if you have time for the whole story: Patrick posted this tune in the clinic back in November 2010...

I've been getting used to my new setup: a new W7 laptop w/ i5 processor, 6mb ram, etc. and a Focusrite Saffire 6 USB interface and Sonar 8.5. I had no problems with mixing and 1 organic project, but then I began importing audio to build another project. I started getting crackles, clicks...

Kiss was my first taste of hard rock when I was a kid and I've been an Ace fan since. I had to try this to see if I could do it. I had some help from Dave DeWhitt (Paul Stanley) and Joe Mizzi (Gene Simmons). I'm still lookin' for Peter :). You can be the judge if I pulled it off.

Hey guys! If I could indulge your patience and present you with a remix of "You" featuring not only Joe Mizzi on vocals, but now Dave DeWhitt's drumming debut on the HR! :D:D I knew Dave was a talented songwriter, singer and guitarist, but who knew about the drums? Thanks Dave for putting this...

I wrote this real simple tune with a 6/8 feel and sang my heart out....:o:( Joe took it, breathed on it, and made it pretty :D:D Thanks Joe!!! Let us know what you think. :) 320k mp3: Hotfile.com: Hébergement de fichiers par un clic: You_mix031311.mp3 Wav: You by bjsmusic on SoundCloud -...

I haven't posted a tune for awhile. I dusted off this shelved tune and slopped some vocals on it. Dusty + sloppy, that about sums it up...oops I forgot cheesy! :D;) (updated mix 12/23/10) SoundClick artist: Brad Smith Music - page with MP3 music downloads

...more than generous with the details, thanks!:D I think the 'silver bullet' I was looking for in the details was merely that Taylor....hard to beat that tone..but damn $:eek:. The x-y setup is typical - I'm lookin for an interface that has 2 or more pre's for less that $150 that won't suck...

"Black" - Me and Mizzi Mining the Metal Again! maxi + joeym + kceal - A three way! I wrote the song, Joe saved it from extinction (joeym - vocals), and Keith (kcearl - keys) gave me a bunch of keyboard tracks to whittle down and weave into the tune (no, really Keith, they're in there, listen...

So I wrote this song and was about to post it when Joe heard it, said he liked the 70's/Bad Company vibe, and would like to take a crack at singing it. :cool: This is Joe, once again, straying off the metal reservation. We have two mixes with different drum tracks. If you have time, let us...

I've always liked this tune - I had to try it....... Don't You Forget About Me http://soundcloud.com/bjsmusic/dont-you-forget-about-me2 or download below

I knew my voice wouldn't do on a song with the word 'Castle' in it. This would require someone schooled in Dio and Maiden! I gave Joe the tune with some scratch vocals and lyrics. He wrote the lyrics and melody for the pre-chorus. edit: Oh yea, Joe re-did the drum track too - Sweet! This is...

Since I bought SSD it has been causing Sonar to crash when I try to introduce the Vintage Channel compressor plugin to my vocal track. I know, it sounds weird since the two don't seems related. I've done several sonar re-installs- no help. I'm going to try to get to the bottom of this....

It seems simple. I just want my new, nice sounding SSD midi grooves to go from Kontakt to about 10 separate AUDIO channels in Sonar so I can mix them. I follow the general manual guidelines, but each Sonar track turns into a midi track when I change the input to a Kontakt channel. I never...

Edit: What "IF" I could spell and wasn't retarded! There goes my clever intro! You can be the first to find out! Over-ambitious arrangement? Yep. Cliches? You bet! Over 40 tracks and 500 lbs. of instrumentation in a 5 lb. sack! It's here. You might even find Grandma's washboard and a...

I just finished a new song called "Superhero." I am dedicating it to my senior class of 2010 (I'm a teacher at a small high school). I hope it's not too cheezy! Please let me know what you think. :D If it doesn't suck too bad I'll have it played for the recessional.
