I think there are some EQ problems in the various instruments - the track just doesn't seem to sit well somehow. Or does it? Anyway, might be the equipment! :D Monitored with a home stereo. Drum tracks are soundfonts played from a keyboard, although I did try to keep them as realistically...

since I've posted anything here. Took many months to work on things, and hopefully get a little better. Believe it or not, I HAVE read the advice of others, particularily sonusman. Still minimal eqipment - soundblaster live, soundfonts, free fx plug-ins, etc. Recording a Rode NT1, into a...

This shaggy-dog type song is this long-time lurkers latest humble submission. Recently remixed the song with all sorts of fancy things - silly backing vocals, panning, and other sorts of fancy features, like compression and attempts at mastering. So, keeping in mind my minimalist equipment, I...

It's a song that I consider one of my best. It's really old fashioned - no bridge, mostly a 3 chorder. The title phrase has been used at least 3 other times in songs in this century. The subject matter is well-trodden - a divorce/I have to leave you song. It is exactly v/c/v/c solo(!)c/v. The...

This song might have too much ideas in it, I don't know... But overall it says what I want to say. It makes a rather difficult point, about your youthful idealism getting tempered by reality... And it's specifically NOT supposed to be gloomy and dirge-ful. Here's a really rough idea of how the...

Okay, this one is close to done. Other than another doing the vocals over again, this one is almost done. How's the mix? I'm concerned that it distorts in a few places, but that might be my ultra-cheapo system. Ultra-cheapo system: Rode NT1 and Radio Shack mics Bheringer MX 802A Soundblaster...

Does anyone have this 'problem' of when writing a song, people naturally assume that it's about you? Especially when it has some romantic/personal connection? I know often when I listen to music, I often assume that the person is writing about themselves. This doesn't seem to happen so much...

Longtime Lurker humbly submits a folk/pop try... I have been lurking long here long enough to know that I am doing everything wrong. For the (no-name) guitars i'm using two radio shack dynamics (shure built) into a bheringer rack into a soundblaster live! Vocals through an NT1. The rest of...

I'm sorry if this probably simple problem has been adressed before, but a search didn't help, and deja.com is gone! And the FAQ's haven't mentioned it, as far as I can tell.. Problem: Using a drum soundfont (SB Live) triggered from a midi keyboard, when I just play live, the other hi-hat...

I know there are several related threads on this subject already. However, I have some questions, and might as well make ANOTHER thread. I have been talking out of my hat, as I don't actually have the damn thing YET. So - the inputs on the live drive, and the inputs on the back of the PCI...

Obviously, the people at this forum have differing incomes and equipment. Some people are producing commercial recordings with equipment that makes me drool. Some people have the soundcard that came bundled with their computer. Still others push certain brands of equipment to such an extent...

This was a preliminary recording, to see how things worked. I wanted to get something down, a scratch recording, to get ready for a more 'proper' recording later, with better equipment, and knowing how to use Cool Edit Pro more completely. It's on I-drive, username: jenkmaster, password...

Or Impedance, or Ohms, or Load - these are all terms for the same thing, aren't they? Anyway, I have a cheapo microphone (from an unnamed national electronics retailer) that can be switched from LowZ to HiZ. The mic doesn't seem to perform any better or worse either way. My question - other...

Hello, I have been lurking here a long time, and figured I would register when I HAD to. Well here is the problem - I have recently reinstalled Win 98, and foolishly put in the latest directX, ver. 7. something. Now my directX plugins slow down or hang my computer. I know that the directX...
