I phoned my neighbour (2 houses away) the other day to borrow some carpenting tools, asking him;" Hey I´m putting together a songwriter/sound studio here and wondered if I could borrow some equipment for making a 80mm hole or two here?" He quickly replied "you too?" I said "pardon? anyone else...

Of all my songwriting time, I have mainly started songs from the beginning; with the verses. Too often I have ended up with a pretty "catchy" verse, but not being able to follow up with a chorus thats more "radiofriendly" (thats what we attempt to write here nowadays) than the verse itself. The...

If someone could recommend one or more great tool for producing great R&B foundations/rythm track it would help a lot. Im currently looking for and plan to buy either libraries, but even better - plugins in the style of i.e. EZ drummer wich can assist me in producing top of the line R&B...

Picked up his on from Amazon. Worth a read. ----------------------------------------------------- How to be a hit songwriter Molly-Ann Leikin ISBN 0-634-05001-X (but check this as this might be ISBN for 2nd edition) -----------------------------------------------------

The specific words "something borrowed - something blue". Just crap and nonsense? Or can it be written this way? I need advise as my main language is norwegian and this just came dropping down. It suits the singing so well so if it makes sense we gonna keep it...

Anyone know how complicated it is to change a battery of an SR-16?

For a long time my crappy PC has made a lot of problems for my recording/songwriting sessions. Today I ordered a Mac Power PC G5 2.5Ghz Dual with 2.5 Gb ram and Logic Pro 7. Can hardly wait for the arrival :)

Hi. I'm working with a young female that hasn't been singing much, but she has an "edge" in her voice that I just love. Several people that has listened to this scetch tune claims she is singing terrible outta tune almost all the time. I strongly disagree. What do you think? I can hear some sour...

Just started a new tune today. This is just a short listen to the rythm of it? It's not a mix, just a rythm scetch. Hey; maybe it shouldn't even be posted here, as it says "You got something worth listening too?" I try anyway :) I might also post the progression of the tune as it develops. Here...

I'm soon going G5 2.5 Dual and Logic Pro. I visited my music pro-store yesterday for a gear chat. He asked me; why don't you buy a digi 002 rack instead of an i.e. m-audio interface? After thinking about it I say it's a great tip. It doesnt cost that much more, you get better preamps, a bunch of...

Today I was at the Music on Mac show-off, wich Apple has been tourning Europe with. Not the wildest show on earth; but good stuff. Torstein Flakne (Vokalist/Songwriter/guitarist) of Stage Dolls (Norway) was hired in to jam off some in garageband/LE/Logic Pro. What I saw at the show, together...

My fellow songwriter (former Dave Darque) wrote, sang and co-produced "One more high" in the early eighties. Would be great with a feedback or two. The sound is by many described as A-Ha influenced. But this was made before anyone had heard anything from A-ha :) Link to MP3 file The file is 9Mb

Hi. I'm pretty new to recording. Brand new to recording drums. When you mic up every drum how do you go along to separate the sounds? Is it common to use noisegates on the separate channels?

I'm working on making 3-5 good and catchy songs for a young female wannabie artist. We made this scetch tonight. Like it? Feedback much appreciated. Thanks. Link to MP3 here is the scetch on the lyrics: tell me why, this dusk never ends this darkest stage of twilight makes no sense an...

In Cubase SX, playing a Vst instrument fed by midi signals; how can I record that to an audio track?
