Thanks for listening guys! I appreciate the comments.
1) Does the mp3 on your computer sound like the output of your recorder or the CD?
On this song it's pretty close because it was so short I didn't have to convert the rate down to 64, but usually, no, it doesn't sound the same, or as clear.
2) What do you think of garageband.com as a host? Any distasteful aspects of the host?
In order to post 1 song on Garageband.com, you have to review 20 songs first. For your second, you have to review 40...for your third, 60 songs. That's kind of a drag, because in order to be helpful and really spend the time listening and critiquing, it requires a great deal of time. The upside is that, unlike mp3.com, your songs will show up at your Garageband site in about 12 hours. Another upside is that you get a lot of feedback from other musicians...however....because those artists, too, have to spend so much time reviewing, they rarely take the time to get very in depth in their comments.
3) How many tracks is the recording?
This recording is around 35 tracks. I bounce the first basic rhythm tracks (1 thru 6) to 7/8, label everything, save the scene as "rhythm bounce," then clear up tracks 1-6 by assigning new virtual tracks to strips 1 thru 6, then take another go with 4 more instruments. Then I bounce the 7/8 rhythm bounce WITH 4 new tracks to the other two newly freed up strips (usually 5/6)....then I label all the new instruments, and label the new bounce (which includes 7/8 + the new 1 thru 4 instrument) on 5/6 as "rhythm bounce2", then I save THAT scene as "Rhytm Bounce2,"...repeat, repeat, repeat...
4) Was the entire session recorded with all musician's present?
Yes is was, because it was recorded with only me, my $200 1979 Talkamine accoustic guitar, and my cheapo ($400) Yamaha keyboard...nothing else. (hence the "band" name: 31 flies)
