    Just the ending of a song

    It's called Amazed, but you can't really tell what the song is about without the lyrics, anyhow, here's the ending...actually there's some singng at the end that isn't in here, mostly it's just talking about being amzed.

    The Rains, not so dry mix

    Haven't been doing much tracking lately, just mostly hackng away at mixes here and there. Remixed my entry into the dry challenge. This is from one extreme to another, mixed mostly on headphones (I know). I probably went a little overboard but I've been having fun messing around lately so...

    Power trio take #2483

    Another try to get "the sound" It's one of a bunch of "same old tunes" I've been working on 15 minutes a night. I've been way to busy at work to do any tracking so there nothing new but... ...the drums :) (and bass too). I actually got some real samples. The down side is they sound like...

    Got mine

    Unfortunately mine came in "Doug proof" wrapping, so I haven't had a chance to look it over yet. Came sooner than I expect.

    Home (as close to a capella as I can get)

    Got inspured by all the singing going on and thrught I'd give it a try. That didn't work so I recorded this. Just a novelty. Home

    Witch

    I felt like posting a tune, and this is all I have to offer. I think this is the last one with the current "band", meaning it's time to buy some bass and drum samples. This is recorded with my new dmp3. I can't beleive how bright it is compared to the crappy behringer mixer. This is a good...

    So I got my dmp3...

    I was wondering I'm going to try and plug my sm57 into the instrument in. I've only got a 1/4 " for it, and I like using it and my condensor at the same time. Any thought's on whether this will work or not?

    I think I've outgrown my Behringer Pres...

    I'm coming to the conclusion that my 902a is basically a boat anchor with a five page manual. I've got two main mics, an sm57 and a sp b1 and I use a delta. I'm hoping to get something that makes the delta the weak link in the signal chain when recording my guitar. Any help would be...

    My HRC 3 submission (The Rains)

    No reverb, no compression, no eq and no plugins or effects. This is probably the last 3 chord wonder from me for a while. It's a bit more ambitous than my other stuff. It's an old song I wrote years ago that I was starting to think about re-doing when this challenge came up. There's a couple...

    Novelty to pass the time

    My collab partners been MIA for a couple of days so I had some time for another installment in my never ending quest to track and mix a three piece band. It's basically a riff or two that I've had lying around for a while that suddenly had a song wrap itself around them. It's pretty trite (I...

    Audiophile codex sample rate

    I've been thinking about recording at 88200 and just down sampling the track before mixing. So I was looking at the delta control panel and thought for a second what would happen if I set the sample rate to 88200. I thought for a second that maybe the card would run a higher clock and dither...

    Un-masterred

    Another version of the tune "Breathless" I've been working on for ever. I've already posted this twice, so there's not a whole lot new if you've already heard it. This is pretty close to the final version altho the vox may need some hand holding still. I managed to get them to sit a little...

    Just discovered pre delay

    I don't know why but I always ignored this setting on verb. It seems to give the track a bit more breathing room, especially distorted guitar. And the quest continues...

    Breathless take 2

    I've uploaded a new and hopefully better version of this tune. Im interestedin any feedback, especially from anyone who listened to the first version. Here's what I did I went for more of that "band inside the drums" sound, which I think is works better for sparse mixes. The rythm guitar is...

    Breathless

    Space cheese alert This was the tune I was hoping to submit for the CD but time is winning the race. Tha's ok, give's me some time to learn how to track. There's a "da da da hmmm hmmm" line where a haven't wrote the lyric yet (followed by a line that I'm rewriting) and a bit of dodgy guitar...

    Fake Room For Sequenced Drums

    I've been experimenting with doing a mixdown of just drum tracks with the kick and snare levels lowered somewhat (especially the kick), running a non real time reverb effect against the mix with no dry volumn and producing a stereo "room" track to load back into the project. It seems to be...

    Vampire Superman

    One of the tunes I've been struggling to put a cap on for a while. It still needs work but Im moving on for now. I'm starting to get a bit closer to what I'm going for (I think) although I think I backed off too much on the guitar. Sorry for the big download, I get pretty flaky encoding on...

    Guitar Track too rough

    I've been having a lot of trouble mixing the guitar. As far as I can tell the wav form is too frantic, and with any kind of volume is causing a clipping type signal. I've looked at the wave form up close and it's a little crazy. I am micing a high gain Marshall, but I think there way to much...

    Just a remix

    Compression, what's conasiderred a slow attack

    Anyone know what setting of attack is generally considerred slow enough to preserve some of the leading byte of a vocal or guitar, or even preserve some punch in the final mixdown? Thanks Doug
