So I just got this Electro Harmonix mic pre, and I'm not sure how to use it. I have a firebox, and I plugged it into one of the firebox's preamps, then turned the gain all the way down. Problem is, there's hardly any signal coming through. I can turn the gain up, but then I'm using the...

So I recorded this over last weekend, and put a trumpet part in it a couple days ago. Tell me what you think, how the words work with the music and all that. Any advice on singing or musicianship or production or anything would be great too. It's the first one, joan of arc. thanks guys. neil

Ok, this is probably going to sound dumb. My friend's got a Sony C48 and it's got this little switch on the inside that says "V" and "M", I assume meaning "vocal" and "music". I also assume it's a low frequency roll-off switch, but can anybody tell me which one is the roll-off and which one is...

For me it's almost impossible to tell how a song will turn out without actually hearing it, 'cause pretty much all lyrics look at least kind of stupid on paper. I mean, even most Dylan or Cohen lyrics look kind of silly if you see them without having an idea of the melody. That said, I don't...

I wrote and recorded this a few days ago, and it's one of the first times I've used a lot of tracks (well, only four but that's a lot for me) on a song so I'd like some advice on what to do with it - how to mix the harmony vocals, all that. Any feedback on my singing or just my songwriting...

I sat down with my guitar and came up with a little doodle on a C chord, then I started humming a melody, then I came up with some really simple lyrics, and I ended up with this: I Have it's about a minute and a half long. I recorded whispy, doubletracked vocals over the guitar, which just...

I recorded this over the weekend with my friend Drew (he's lead vocals on this - I sing backup) for a demo CD we're putting together to give out to coffeehouses and stuff. It's three tracks, each recorded seperately, and I've never really done that before (I'm used to recording everything at...

I wrote and recorded this song yesterday again through one microphone, this time with the mic backed up a little so the guitar and voice (hopefully) sound more even to each other. I'm mainly looking for feedback on the lyrical and melodic aspects of the song, but anything would be helpful...

I wrote this song a couple nights ago for a friend of mine. It's called "a song for claire" and is really simple - just acoustic guitar and voice. I recorded it to a single track with an MXL V67 and my laptop. I've only been playing for around two years and although I can play slightly more...
