    Why a mixer?

    Teacher.... grab a comma and a period now and then. I can't read half of what you are saying man. I gotta side with everyone else cause I can't understand you. ;)

    Looking for a good Pre- amp for the Delta 1010

    I was looking at mixers today, and didn't see where Soundcraft made an M series that wasn't the Spirit M. Is there another M8 besides the Spirit M8?

    final mixes up now

    I tried to get those two, but kept crashing on the download. I was able to get broke by way earlier. Vey cool. Reminds me of Ben Folds Five in a way. That organ or whatever it is in the background is great, and makes me wanna puke cause I can't get anything close to that good recorded. :D...

    Comments on a remix.....

    I had the weirdest thing happening with this mp3. It says it's over 3 minutes long, but I could only hear about a minute of it and then it would just end. What I heard sounded cool instrument wise. I only hear about 2 lines of the vocal. Sex Pistols I'm not sure about, but definitely Tom...

    A song from Sweden

    I like the organ sound. Vocals fit in great and sound good in the song. Very nice job there. That acoustic is the only negative thing.... almost like it's cutting into my brain. When I work on mic placement I setup the mic in several positions and record a few seconds from each. Then I...

    By request from Mr. Dobro, and apologies to Mr.QQ, here are some crappy demos of mine

    I had already downloaded Empty Experience, so I'm gonna review that one :P There is some freaky stuff goin on there. Haunting vocals for sure... What I'm guessing is Jinny's voice really creeped me out in spots. A really good thing for this track. Whatever that is that sounds like a fast...

    coverband from Guam

    I just had to download Every Rose has it's Thorn just to hear how you arranged it. Pretty cool. I like how it was changed. Sounds good for a live recording.

    Some Funk Blues For the Soul..

    It's hard to take a backing track that's already complete (and from the sound of it professionally recorded/mixed) and then add a guitar on top of it and make it work. Not a bad job at all, but even if you hadn't mentioned it I would have guessed that's what this was. Is the guitar recorded...

    tryin to bring some funk to the bbs

    I think that snare needs some muffling to take out some of those overtones. Tuning it would help, but I can't tune my drums either so I can't say nothin more bout that. I liked the sound of the drums better after they switched if that helps any. If nothin else, that piano made me laugh. I...

    check an Argentinian group (tips for a remix)

    Not my style of music... but sounded fine. Is that the Beatles "Twist and Shout" influence right after the interlude section and at the end? I wanted to hear everyone just start screaming at the end of those parts, lol. Nice job, and definitely sounds like you were having fun.

    Tribute to a fallen officer...

    I'd like to hear less reverb on the vocal, but just my preference. Otherwise, it's a cool feel goin on with the guitar and vocal by themselves... and I think it makes a good statement that fits the lyrics. I wouldn't add any other instruments to it. I did hear a little distortion (what...

    Ramones meet New Order

    I like those synthesized sounds going on in the background. Vocals fit the song well too. I can hear a little Weezer in there too. Ending was cool. Good job overall.

    New Mp3 (this time a hard rock one)

    I also hear heavy blues more so than rock, but nothing wrong with that at all. You could take this as a buildup and then let it break into something more uptempo rock and I think it would be very cool. It's got a heavy groove to it, despite the drum machine. Cyber-Twin sounds good for being...

    Listen to my band...

    I like it... straight forward stuff, and I mean that as a compliment. The kick and bass go well together and sound good in the mix, which I think is tough to do. My guess is the band has played together quite a bit. Guitar tone on the solo fits very nicely. Only bad thing I hear is the vocal...

    Dry acoustic tune

    This could be very cool... I like the song a lot. It evokes a certain feeling... although I can't really describe it. I like the sound of that Taylor 12 string. I'm not sure what you mean about fixing the part at :50. I didn't notice anything that bad there. I don't want to pick little...

    Crappy-song#2

    Very cool. I found myself moving to it before I knew it. Makes me realize even more that I'm a guitarist that tries to play bass, and I'm not a bass player. ;)

    What acoustic guitar record best ?

    To me those noises are part of the natural beauty of the instrument... as long as they aren't so distracting that they take away from what's being played. Gives more of an intimate feel when it's a fingerpicked acoustic guitar. I just like being reminded that it's a combination of wood and...

    what is the newest OS i can upgrade to?

    From my experience, I like XP and it's very stable on all of my other systems so far, even on one where 2000 kept crashing... but 2000 seems to work better with my Delta1010. XP locked up a couple times when I was recording and seemed to run slower with my audio applications. Probably just one...

    What acoustic guitar record best ?

    Just for something to try... I do both with my Taylor. One track with the mic, and another plugged in at the same time. I can mix the sounds and get more of the sound I want this way. I get a more natural sound from the mic, and the line out gives more definition and sharpness to the sound...

    The Great Homerec'er "Mastering" Dual!

    Shailat, 1. I hear you on the not mastering your own stuff. I agree that's most always the best way to go.. I just can't let go of enough control, hehe. If I had to count on my music to feed my family I guess I would, but otherwise I have a hard time because I was burned once by an...
