I love, love, LOVE the vocals! They're really smooth, congrats! I wish I could lay down some vox like that. Intro may be a little long.

I just bought a new iMac and I installed the drivers for some of my peripherals. My scanner frequently says 'can't find the driver', all I do is close the window and try again. After I do that - the scanner works. It's weird, but consistent. Maybe you can try something similar, I don't know why...

I don't really believe in 'Talent'. I agree with Gecko, in that Talent is generally an innate ability, but there are endless people in the world with innate ability who waste it every day. I look at effective talent as more of a function of persistence, creativity and drive where innate ability...

I'm using a chinese made Apex that I bought for ~$200 and some dollars. How good are your mixing skills? I find that a person with really good ears and mixing skills can make a crap mic/pre-amp/settup sound amazing with the right EQ/compression etc. Skills > Any Gear

For a whole song, across all tracks my bread and butter is: -Compression -Stereo Delay (maybe 2 or 3 types of settings) -EQ (maybe 2 or 3 types) -Sometimes a bit or clip distortion Everything else is situational. I'm not really a fan of reverb plugins and I don't like De-esser much, but that's...

I like it a lot, and besides the vox being a little too hot in the mix. I would try adding some delay to the vocals and see if a 'wet' texture works in the mix. As far as the arrangement, I'd like to hear something arranged above the vocals in the chorus (either a high pitched guitar or...

Price and quality are not necessarily correlated. I happen to love the feel/sound/and look of a Fender Stratocaster. But really, I think it depends on the musical genre that you're interested in. The music I like generally has alot of Strats (And some telecasters) being used. I don't think that...

I remember encountering Cadences in music school. What I remember about them was that they were usually 'bread and butter' chord progressions that resolved to a 'I' Chord - like IV - V - I. I too am a 'minimalist' when writing and prefer the styles of other 'minimalist' writers. When you talk...

I don't know how it sounds when sung, but I find the X of sex hard to work with, I'd like to hear it when done.

I love Logic and have done some heavy multitracking and mixing in it, It has 9 different (at least, maybe more) view options and one of them is a 'real' mixing board. There is very little that Logic cannot do.

Mixerless, I am completely Guerilla.

I run my firepod on my Mac and had a similar problem once. I had to turn up the iTunes volume :) Are your media players volumes turned up?

Thanks, I learned the hard way. Made 1000 copies of a CD and still have ~650 in the basement and the band has broken up! Lol, You only have to do that once :)

I started out in a similar situation to yourself. My best investments have been: -an Apple iMac (Make sure you have lots of ram), gets a minimum of 4 years use out of it. -Presonus Firepod, 8 ins with pre-amps, great investment. -A student version of Logic. -get 1 shure '57, killer mic, will...

That's badass, I've got to start selling to waiters/toll booth guys. Love it.

Tight production, love the snare sound!

I do both, when I was younger I was "Fingers, or death", Now I play almost exclusively with a pick because I just love the aggressive edgy sound. Fingers is good for Jazz, Hip Hop, Disco, Latin, Mellow kinds of music, Funk, things that are really groovy. I prefer using a pick for most types of...

Does Anyone use Ultrabeat in Logic? And to what extent? I've been using it a little bit, but I was wondering if anyone was using it for a really big project?

I love the mix, wet piano, dry vocals... The drums scared the shit out of me when they came in - that's good. lol. Vox are a little burried for my taste, but I love the 'colors' you chose for the chords and there is a good rhythmic groove to the song. Keep up the good work!

I will still do 'Trunk Sales' with future projects, however, I will only make 50 copies because statistically, artists in the U.S. sell an average of 50 copies. (Scary, when you think that the average includes all of the really big sellers, most people sell way less than 50 copies). Another...
