Hi all,

Just finished my latest project, called Music From The Other Room. All the instrumentation is RealTrax & RealDrums. No live instruments or midi were used. Recorded in my little spare bedroom with a laptop and one mic. Let me know what you think.

Music From The Other Room

Thanks,

Steve Young

Hi, Stephen.

You've got an ear for melody, and a good feel for lyrics. The songs are smooth and pleasant, and the mix is good. You've done a great job.

My only real issue is the pitch correction on the vocals. You generally want it to be as transparent and natural as possible, and it been pretty heavily applied on most of the songs.

Anyway, nice work.

Steve,

Great Job! The cool part is..."Recorded in my little spare bedroom with a laptop and one mic."

It wasn't that long ago when you would have spent un-told thousands $$$ at a local studio to get what "might" have sounded half as good!!

PG Music ROCKS!

You can get the blue box around the quote by using the [quote] tag. So write something like this:

[quote] stuff i want to quote [/quote]

and you'll get:

Sorry Frankie. It works for me. If you try it again maybe it will work for you. May have been a bandwidth problem. Let me know if you continue to have a problem with it.

Thanks!
