Thanks guys - I think the WAV file method sounds like the best, that way everything is always in sync!

Thanks guys - We are pretty pleased with how it worked out

I can get everyone in time (140 beats per minute) and they then send me thier vocals - How can I synchronize thier vocals so that they line up with my backing music?

VERY good considering the equipment you listed!! Love the sound of the banjo in any song, other than that I would like to have seen the lyrics- Good, quality songwriting and recording

Hi there Mango - I have tried to get to your website a couple of times, and no connection is made! Could you post the song on your nowhere radio site?

Hi there guys- I just did my first internet collaboration and would love any feedback I could get The song is the "Capital Of Mistletoe" - A christmas song- At http://www.soundclick.com/bands/5/songbirdcoopercollaborationmusic.htm All Lyrics by Songbird Cooper in England Music written and...

Hi there guys - I did a search for this and couldnt find it- I am trying to do some online collaboration with some friends, who dont have a VF-160 (they use some other multittracker, which is computer based). I am trying to collaborate like this: 1 ) I record the backing music, then send a...

Hi there GlynB - Thats exactly the sort of answer I was hoping for from this thread - A sort of "organic" answer - Its interesting for me because I have a pretty strong theoretical background in digital signal processing (from the study of seismic waves) but its interesting how weakly I can...

If you had an external CD player, and the appropriate cables, you could do it- I dont know about using the internal one though - just trying to offer an alternative

We did some studio recordings of irish/scottish music with an experienced acoustic sound engineer- Our line-up was: Bohdran Guitar Mandolin Fiddle Whistle or Flute Singing (solo or group) He ran things as follows : We recorded all the basic tracks with the main music instruments...

Thanks Middleman - I went through the old posts and read them, and of course this one - I just wanted a sort of "organic" description of what compression can offer to vocals - For example, "Compression is great for bringing out the breathing sounds between lines for a more moody sound" etc. I...

philboyd studge - totally excellent: inventive and probably something I would buy if I ever saw it in a gift shop at one of those parks. Did I say excellent? yep ok I did.

Ok I know what compression does (reduce the dynamic range of a recorded signal). I see there are probably a zillion old posts which answer general compression FAQ type stuff . The trouble is I have never really used one (I must have had my head in the sand) and I see that it is considered a...

MiddleMan - What a great post too - thanks for sharing your thoughts with me (and anyone else) - I will look into the cost of some of those gadgets on ebay.... My setup is basically a Shure SM58 and then some other cheapo Shure microphone placed a bit further out to pick up some different...

LOL!! I get the Billy Bragg comparison a lot (i.e. "you cannot sing" - they are sort of right though on both the comparison and the comment) I am interested in the compression comments - I guess its pretty standard to use it on vocals, but I must come clean - I never have - I will make a...

What excellent replies - Cyrokk's comment particularly stands out - Its too easy for me to fall into the trap of mixing the rest of the instruments how I like them, and then lamely putting the singing in at the end - In fact I have probably been doing it wrong all these years- I should be...

I wonder if there is anyone else out there who has some decent tips - Because I am a one man band, I have to make my own mixdowns, and always end up getting the vocal part wrong - 1) Its too quiet - (I cringe about my own voice and turn it down too much) 2) Its too loud - (I over-compensate...

Nice sounding song - There isnt any information at all about the guy who recorded the song on that page though , which is a shame. I agree with the other guy about some elements sounding a bit muffled; My impression is that the microphones might not have been placed properly (e.g. a directional...

I cannot hear this either - there must be something wrong with the link -sorry

I will give this a spin when I get home tonight - I cant listen to it right now!!
