    Banjo MIDI?

    I have a Roland Octapad. It's a drum machine but also has some MIDI capabilities. I'm trying to find some banjo sounds to load into the machine. Is this even MIDI? And does anyone know where I can find some of these sounds? If it were even one banjo note, I can take it and program it into...

    High Quality Monitors at a Good Price?

    Hello all, I am looking to purchase some studio monitors, and don't know where to start. I assume I just need two (is this correct?) to keep it simple. If I'm not looking to spend more than $200 for both monitors, can I still get good, quality sound coming out? Any users here have any good...

    Custard Pie (Revisited)

    http://soundclick.com/share?songid=9197552 I took a Zeppelin track in a different direction. Inspiration from "Whole Lotta Blues" Zeppelin Blues Cover Album, by Eric Gale. Please comment on the mix quality, recording quality, likes/dislikes about the arrangement itself. :)

    Noise Cancelling v Noise Reducing headphones

    Noise cancelling headphones seem to use battery power to actively cancel the noise, whereas reducing headphones just muffle external sound. What type of headphones are better for a home-recording studio?

    Maybe I'm Amazed Cover

    Thanks everyone. This is a bottom end keyboard that I just plugged straight in to the computer. It's also the first time I ever even tried PLAYING a keyboard... I just tried to find whichever notes fit and play them, so take the performance for what it's worth lol. Thanks again.

    Maybe I'm Amazed Cover

    www.soundclick.com/nickzychowicz Check it out. It's my brother singing. He asked me to record it for his GF. He's not much of a singer, so take it easy on him, lol. He really wanted to sing it for his girlfriend though. Enjoy.:)

    Amazing Hallelujah cover!

    She sounds like an angel. I'd love to hear this with an Acoustic guitar instead of the piano sounding guitar.

    Cortez The Killer

    Listening right now . . . Sounds good. The one nick I have with the mix is that the solo guitar feels like it's too high frequency. Other than that, everything's clear, and it's tight. Strangely, therein lies your problem. Don't get me wrong, you did a great job doing what you set out to...

    2 Originals - Zeppelin/Hendrix feel

    What foghat song does Free remind you of? Guitars on Free and in the Heat... I used an Epi Les Paul going through a Line 6 for the lead on the left, and for the solo in the middle of the song. I used my friend's guitar (Don't even know what kind) running through a shitty crate half stack on...

    2 Originals - Zeppelin/Hendrix feel

    I did in fact intend to rip off Levee Breaks and No Quarter. Everything was intended -- to be long, to be ripped off. I even ripped some of the lyrics off of Robert Plant's "The Enchanter". I guess I should make it clear that Goin' West, Down was meant to be more of a lyrical journey and...

    2 Originals - Zeppelin/Hendrix feel

    I got the idea for the long intro when listening to some Pink Floyd song. It's not radio friendly, but I meant it to be long. Thanks for the honesty though. Interesting voice? Don't know if that's a good or bad thing lol

    2 Originals - Zeppelin/Hendrix feel

    (Does it count as a bump if it's still on top?) Well anyways, I forgot to ask: Please give me your feedback!

    2 Originals - Zeppelin/Hendrix feel

    Check out www.soundclick.com/nickzychowicz -- "Goin' West, Down" and "Free and In the Heat". They're two originals of mine that I was working on this summer, and finally decided to put them online. Guarantee you like it! (Yes, 'Goin' West, Down' ripped off the opening drum line of 'When the...

    Beatles Cover Thread!

    No, by all means I welcome criticisms, and thanks for being up front with me. Whenever I do covers, I like to make them my own creations if I can. I figure I can never get close enough, by my standards, to the originals without doing them some kind of injustice. I also love heavier, harder...

    Beatles - Come Together

    Yes and no. I had a good panning system set up, but when I connected my new monitors I threw my whole loop in a mess and all my recordings only go into the left channel... just the way my mixer is I guess. So I've gotta cut the Left channel and paste it to stereo. It sucks because I can't pan...

    Beatles - Come Together

    Thanks for everyone's input! I think I've got more positive reviews on this song from my friends, family, and this website than any other song i've done

    Some Zeppelin..

    Well then nevermind what I have to say about the mix... there's only so much you can do about that with one mic. It's just that when you do covers, you have to either morph them into your own version/creation, or if you're going to try note for note like you do, you've gotta get it really close...

    Some Zeppelin..

    Not going to lie, I didn't like it. Singing wasn't very good, recording quality sounds like one room mic... Playing was kind of tight/together...

    Beatles - Come Together

    Thank you, thank you. I'm on an Epi Les Paul through a Line 6. I just ran it straight into my computer from the Phone Out of the amp. Drums are always the worst part of my songs. I paid $350 for 5 pieces, hats, a crash, and a ride. New. So imagine how good they sound raw. Not live, I did...

    Beatles - Come Together

    I posted this in the Beatles Cover Thread, but thought I'd put it up on the main page for anyone who doesn't like to adventure in there. http://soundclick.com/share?songid=6809700
