Hi all, does anyone know of any good songwriting or lyric competitions? A basic Google search led me to several that seemed typically scammy. I'd prefer contests that don't charge an entry fee, but I'm comfortable paying a reasonable amount to enter a reputable competition. Any size contest...

Hi all, For sale is a like new Fender Passport 300 PA with original packaging, along with two pro-line mic stands and two pro-line speaker stands. I'm finishing up the last leg of my fall tour. I couldn't haul my other system with me on the plane, so I bought this passport on November 27th in...

Hey all, I'm heading out on a 75 city tour starting Tuesday. I finished my new album thanks to help I received from folks here, and as a way of saying thank you I wanted to offer a free copy to anyone from the boards who comes out to one of my shows. The full tour schedule is here: Events |...

Hi all, I need your help applying reverb to all tracks in several small sections of a song. This song has several stops, and I want to apply reverb just before those stops so that the instruments spill over into the otherwise dead space. Check out the Soundcloud link below at 4:18 for an...

Hi again all, here's another song from the new album; this one will likely be the first track. I've got until the 21st to nail these mixes down, so please give me your feedback, suggestions, criticisms, and praises. One specific question I have is whether you think it needs some percussion...

Hi all, here's the fourth track from the soon to be released new album. It's called A Child to Call Our Own, about a couple dealing with a second miscarriage, based on a note from FOUND magazine. Please give me your feedback on all aspects of the track, especially levels, balance, EQ, and...

Hi again all, yet another mix from the new album (that needs to be done frighteningly soon). I appreciate all your feedback on the mix, arrangement, etc. Is too much happening? Is something missing? Are the levels and balance freaky? Let me know! Soundcloud below, or click on this link...

Hi everyone, here's the second post-worthy mix from my new album. It's called Anne-Marie, about trying to resist the allure of a girl I met at a show. I'd really appreciate feedback on both the arrangement and mix. I'd especially like to know if you think the arrangement needs anything more...

Hi all, here's the first post-worthy mix from the new album I'm working on. It's not done, but I think it's ready to be critiqued. The Poem Adept | Seattle, WA | Folk | Music, Lyrics, Songs, and Videos | ReverbNation Note that this song is pretty long, and the mix builds slowly, so please...

Hi all, I was just working on a project in Cubase 5, doing something completely unrelated to the HalionOne organ track. When I pressed play, the Midi volume was maxed out, and nothing I do seems to change it. I tried reloading the project, playing with individual note velocity, and moving...

Hi all, I'm using Cubase 5 to work on a song that has a shaker track in the background. There are a few hits that are slightly off, and I'd like to use Variaudio time warp to fix them, but nothing shows up when I load the track into Variaudio pitch/warp because the pitch is off the chart...

Hi all, I'm just getting underway with my third album, and am struggling with the tempo on this song. I've toyed around with the BPM, but I just can't make up my mind. Sometimes it sounds slow, sometimes it sounds fine. I need more opinions. So, I've posted three versions of the same song at...

Hi all, I have been looking for a recording bass for a while - something with good direct tone, since I don't play bass live. I was in my local music shop for strings and tried this 5-string by The Bass Company, which I hadn't heard of before. The tone is nice, and the price seemed all...

Hi all, I'm working on a project in Cubase that requires a slight tempo change (from 132 to 129 and back to 132). Is there a way to program the metronome to change tempo on its own, or do I need to record it at the different tempos and piece together a metronome track manually? Thanks for...

I want to glean whatever instructional value I can from the 9 tutorials Steinberg has printed in the hard copy of the Cubase 5 manual, but I can't find the related project files. Can anyone tell me where to look? Was I supposed to download them? Were they for some reason not installed with...

Hey all, just wanted to invite everyone in the HR.com community to come out and join me on my upcoming spring tour. You have been immensely helpful in recording both my albums, so I'd love to share some of the new tunes I'm working on with you. We're hitting 57 cities in 66 days. The...

Hi all, I haven't posted here in a while, but I've been lurking about, occasionally reading and keeping up with the goings-on while I work on my third album. I had an idea I wanted to submit to the hive for ridicule, praise, and/or other feedback. Today I was drafting copy for the Sonicbids...

Hey all, Still trying to sell this stuff. I'm moving to Seattle next week and can't take it with me, so I'm selling it instead. The larger items would be pick up only, but I'd be happy to ship the others. I have a perfect rating on ebay (look for the user name leavings). Please feel free to...

hey all, I'll be making a little tour across the country starting April 28th, so to all of you who live in these cities, please come out! Details of the shows are on my MySpace page here: www.myspace.com/poemadept April 28th - Canton, MI - Serendipity Cafe, 8pm April 30th - Indianapolis, IN...

Hey all, I'm moving to Seattle and just don't have space to take all my gear, so I'm selling it and wanted to see if anyone here was interested. If so, please reply to the thread or send me a PM. The larger items would be pick up only, but I'd be happy to ship the others. I have a perfect...
