So, I finally got a live gig errrrrrrrr......I invited a dozen or so friends over for an evening of hard liquor and live music in my 12'x30' basement. I finished my first home recorded CD recently and to celebrate I figured I'd play live in my house with a grip of friends. I don't have a clue...

Forgive me for the liberal use of this forum but, I wanna share. I was an active participant in the clinic for a decent amount of time. I even posted tunes that gained a good level of help from mix tips and such from the collective mind/mix trust found here. I disapeared for some time and...

I've been finishing mixes of a "demo" CD that I started right after I got my first comp and first recording gear ( other than an analoge 4 track that I never bothered to explore). My adventure of recording coincided with my introduction to computers and the internet. This all took place about...

http://www.nowhereradio.com/theron/singles The song is "Flawless Mile". I posted it a while back and was flattered and hugely rewarded to have Guernica cut a bass line and Emeric take care of the lead guitar that I couldn't possibly have played. I toyed a bit with the original mix. I recut...

Hey peoples, I recorded this tune live with some new gear. I want to do a collection of live acoustics songs and would love any help on achiving a decent sound for such recording. I basicaly just set up a mic on the git and one on the vox then pressed record. Any tips on fine tuning this...

I wrote this acoustic story song and wanted an earthy, natural but powerful recording and mix. I can't seem to get any further than this. The more I touch it, the worse it gets so, I thought I'd solicit your help. Am I even in the ballpark for a story song mix? The song is called "One More...

A few weeks ago, I asked Sam if he'd like to collab. He agreed and sent me a tune of his that hadn't any lyrics or vocals. I wrote some lyrics, tried to create a melody and sung along to his composition. The result is this http://www.nowhereradio.com/theron/singles The song is called "a...

http://www.nowhereradio.com/theron/singles Flawless Mile. I wrote this tune, did as much as I could as far as vocal, gits and mixing. I know it needs bass and a big help on rhythm git(the acoustic intro is more of a click track). I need help on the mix. I'm far too smart to think that this...

Hey, I've always gone by the motto that "if the song can't stand alone, with just lyrics and a git(cause that is what I write with), then there is no sence in fluffing it out with other instruments and production". O.K. So that isn't a catchy motto but, the point is I try to write solid, stand...

After limited research and less thought I turn to this forum to make an ass out of myself. Is there such a thing as an acoutic stomp box? Such that I might tap my foot on a box and record the sound in the likes of a country or simple blues tune. Can I constuct such a box? I will refer to a...

Hey, I've a crude set up that matches my recording knowlege. I've a problem with proper levels when recording vox and sometimes git tracks. The deal is, I find huge variances in the level of a single track. I.E. I'm cutting a vocal and I set up the level for the highest/hottest point and...

Hey peoples, I'm working on my first home "demo" and this is the last tune that still needs tracks. I'm waiting on my bro to cut a solo git track and (hopefully) a bass git track. It will be obvious that these are missing. In the interim, I was hoping to get some help and opinions on the song...

Here is a little story song that I've been working on. Any thoughts or help in shining it up would be great. Nowell knew just what to do to make Omar her man Her shirt went up, her skirt went down on the bed, she spred her plan. Omar's heart was thumping he couldn't believe his luck when she...

http://www.nowhereradio.com/theron/singles For me, there is alot going on in this song. How's the mix coming through? The song is called "Close Your Eyes". Any comments would help. Thanks for your time, Theron.

Hey, I just got the bass git tracked last night (same friend that did the lead on this song) and I was wondering what fresh and long distance ears would think. I'm going for a "wholesome and honest" feel. What do you think so far. As always, any comments can help. Theron...

What is "my folders" as indicated on the bottom of the main page and how can I access if I need to? Not so with it, Theron.

Hey, I've been tracking vox with the v67 and love the intimacy. Is this mic designed to point skyward and sing into the side or should I be facing it's "Physical top" as I track? Yes, I've tried both senarios and like the "in your face" but, I tend to get too much breathing and such. Is this...

Hey, http://www.nowhereradio.com/theron/singles I plan on doing a little home rec project to record a batch of songs live and devoid of dubs. This is an example. Please let me know what you think of the sound and how to make it better. I'll give a detailed account of the chain if desired...

In short, The song is called "Dying on the Vine". A simple picking progession that I build upon with what I had at my disposal. I mixed it so I know the mix can be improved. I don't know how. I wrote and recorded it so I know it moves me. Does it do anything for you? I can play it and...

I use to go by the rule that, "if I can't pull it off with just my acoustic and vocals, then I should rethink the song". My idea being not to rely on any one or anything for the power, quality or feeling of a song. Granted, this gives rise to a level of competence at guitar (my chosen writing...
