Re: Microphone / interface advice for a new guy

Thank you everyone for so much insight and details, seriously. I now know where my next paychecks are going, after that whole "rent & bills" thing. Some additional questions now: -If I don't have a firewire port, but buy an adapter, will I still have a good sound quality? -Should I loo...

Microphone / interface advice for a new guy

Hi everyone! I'm really looking for some help. I joined SF, and even entered in the "Right There At The Edge" fight a few weeks ago, because I want to improve the quality of my songs. The main points I got from everyone was that I need a better mixing balance, and my recording sounded very...

Re: Reviews: Write There at the Edge

John H. - I'm so sorry that I'm not into rap music that much. But as far as I understood this, there's a lot of humour in it. :) And it's got a catchy chorus. It sounds quite analogue - which way was it recorded? Heine, I used Audacity for all my vocals. "All"... I've recorded six songs i...

Re: 2012-02-14: valentine's day

My sister had a rough week last week, so I made her a chocolate-chip filled Oreo cheesecake... which I just delievered to her today. I didn't intend on it being a Valentine's gift, but whatever. We sat with her husband and just watched TV, made jokes, caught up, and had a family night... more or les...

Re: Reviews: Write There at the Edge

I just wanted to take a moment and thank you guys for the feedback. As a new guy, this is exactly what I wanted to hear. I'll be asking you all for some mixing ideas/help in other threads to improve future entries, but this is why I wanted to get on this site. I want to be better. Thank you for bein...

Re: Right There at the Edge

Right There On The Edge (apologies about On versus At in the title) "They're on their way!", a crazy man told me, while watching the skies like Moulder and Scully. He preceded to scold me, then reached out to hold me. "We're not alone son! Run back home please!" "I don't hav...

Re: Do I really have to stand up to be counted? I'm kind of

Thanks Manhatten! That's what I'm hoping for, and even to have fun with the embarrassing ones.

And Caravan, as long as it doesn't sound like my song and the production quality are actually fighting themselves then I'm hoping I'll be fine.

I was kinda hoping you were kidding there, to be honest. Awesome.

I'll do some "clean up" work with it tomorrow, and am excited for the 11th. Now to go wash the gullible off my face.

As they say, "Wap wahhhh."

Some editing tomorrow, and I'll send rtate... not rtote. Thanks for telling me now, at least. I saw someone's post say "on the edge" and it just stuck in my head. No biggie.

Do I really have to stand up to be counted? I'm kind of lazy

If I can sit down and be counted, then count me in. My name is John, and I'm posting here to get some honest feedback on songs.
