A quick song/tribute to old dilapidated skyscrapers. I originally tried to make it this analogy in the song to how these buildings are like people, but it never quite took in the lyrics. Regardless - I like this song and wanted to share it and get some mix ideas. My thought is that the bass may...

This is my 1st cut at a set of cover and original songs I want to put together for an "album" of such songs. The concept for the whole collection is going to be simple, stripped down, acoustic songs done in my style. Only a few tracks to each song - guitar, voice, maybe a 2nd guitar or voice...

Hot Dog! it's been awhile since I needed some help on this type of thing. Here's my dilema/question. I'm finally updating my recording hardware and software, and getting rid of my dinosaur tower in favor of a laptop setup. I'm probably going to install Ubuntu and Ardour on the software side...

I could really use some constructive criticism on this tune. I'd been sitting on this and fiddling with it for some time, but have finally cobbled a 1st draft mix together. It's an acoustic-esque song, but fast enough that it's a little different. All comments are welcome, I'd really like to...

It's a been a long while since I visited the mixing clinic. Good to be back: here's something I've been working on recently, http://www.songramp.com/mod/mps/srplayer.php?type=hipub&trackid=72667 Appreciate any advice, Andrew

Hey y'all. First I just wanted to thank everybody for previous comments on some of my other songs. I think this whole process has helped me get better at recording. But I still suck. Hopefully that'll change too. Here's a song I mixed down a couple months back and it's just sat. I'm...

I know, I know, but everybody's got a couple. Here's the 1st mix of a song called "Indian Summer". I'm particularily interested in whether I pulled the vocals off. I don't think I did, but I 'll let y'all be the judge of that. Thanks a bunch. Andrew. http://songramp.com/andrewrypel

It's been a good while since I posted an mp3, but the material's been flowing lately and I never finish a song without an mp3 clinic visit. I hope it's not too rough for y'all. Andrew. http://andrewrypel.iuma.com "outloud"

I've heard of something called a de-esser or something used to take the siblance (hard s and p sounds) off a vocal track. Someone in the mixing clinic recommended it for one of my songs (follow my www and listen to "harbor of lights" if you want). My question is...where do I find such a thing...

I'm close enough to finishing my cd that I'm starting to think about cover art, distribution, copying etc. I haven't chose any duplication service yet. What I want to do is get a painting that my aunt did of my father on the back of the cd case. She's allowed me to use it, but I don't know...

I've been out awhile trying to write my thesis, but here's a piece I've been toying with for a couple weeks. Need help working out the equilization. Too much bass here? As always all comments are welcome and appreciated. Good to be back. http://andrewrypel.iuma.com song: "God Take Me Home"...

I've retracked and remixed with my average at best talents. Here's the stage 2 product. Feel free to rip to shreds. "The Harbor Of Lights" http://www.nowhereradio.com/artists/album.php?aid=2340&alid=-1 Here's a link to the posts from the first thread...

I've been trying without avail to get the right type of vocal sound with one of my songs. I think the technique I'm using is off. It's the type of vocal that's almost like talking, but really singing. I think Shaun Mullins does this type of vocal quite a bit. The best thing I've found is...

Well, the loser title is official. Friday night on the mixing clinic, I guess it could be worse. Here's a lonely song for a lonely night. "Walkin' With Me" Thanks for the help. A http://www.nowhereradio.com/artists/album.php?aid=2340&alid=-1

How does everyone else in the homerecording universe back up their cakewalk sonar files? Do you save them as bundles and burn them or something else? I was plannning on backing up my files with my cd burner.

Well, I've remixed the first song I posted on the clinic from nearly a month ago. I made some changes, retracked, remixed and followed ALOT of the suggestions I got here. So here she is, Hold on to Your Roots - Remix 1 http://www.nowhereradio.com/artists/album.php?aid=2340&alid=-1 Also...

This is my pickle. I'm trying to get and record feedback from my fender guitar amp. However, since I live in an apartment complex, the noise is a HUGE problem. To this point I've been able to skate by using the amp out into my Delta 66, and having headphones connected to the amp so that it's...

I've been using soundstage for a good bit as reverb for my vocals. I'm running into mixed results in the MP3 clinic though. It might just be my excessive use of it, which I admit to. But does anyone else feel strongly about what soundstage brings to the table? Or use it wisely? Since I'm a...

I know some of y'all do this kind of music. Any ideas to make it sound crisper? More intimate? Better? Andrew http://www.nowhereradio.com/artists/album.php?aid=2340&alid=-1 "I Want You Back" is the song name

"harbor of lights" Alright, I put down the first song I had up here for awhile. I promise I'll post the remix when I can bare to start listening to it again. Here's my 2nd song "Harbor of Lights". http://www.nowhereradio.com/artists/album.php?aid=2340&alid=-1 I plan on slipping in bass...
