Hi all, Here's another song that I've been working on for a while. Recording that is, not writing. I still struggle a little with the recording process.

Hi Martin,
Wow! This is a very engaging song. I love the groove. I think it was around about bar 4 when I noticed that my fingers were tapping on the desk and my foot was tapping away on the floor.
I completely agree with you about mixing and mastering. It's a tough, tough job! For me, that's the part of the song that takes ages. One of things that I found about mixing (I picked up from Mac on the forums here) is to mix at volumes that are on the quiet side. This has worked a treat for me. Mostly, I'll mix a song with the volumes a little quieter than normal conversation. Then, every now and again, I'll turn the mix up a bit to see how it sounds. Doing it this way has really reduced aural fatigue. I've also found it very important to leave the mix alone and to rest for a couple of days. When I return to the mix after not having heard it for a while, I can hear much more objectively for the first couple of run-throughs.
I'm just passing on the above in case it's useful for you!
I'm going back for a second listen now.
All the best,
Noel

Hey Martin, I think your mix sounds great. A year - and I thought I was pretty dog gone slow.  Mixing....the one true love hate relationship. It's like Dan says, a never ending learning process. There are so many really good mixers on here I've sure learned a lot and am still learning. So believe me you are not alone in your mixing struggles. BTW, good advice from Noel (and Mac) as always. I like this song too Martin. Love the lift into the chorus. And I'm always taken away on those soaring harmonies. Keep up the great work!

Excellent song, Martin! Very hooky, great mix. There's nothing I'd tweak or change. Mixing: I gathered together all the tricks and tips I've learned over the years onto my web site here, maybe some might be of interest. Great song! John

Hi Noel, Thank you so much for the comments. Hope you still liked it second time around.  You are so right about the "quiet" mixing technique. Something I only learned relatively recently but it has helped so much. My main problem is always in mixing the vocal into the track and getting the right sound and feel on the vocal. My problem is that I export the BIAB backing track to a 16 track Roland and record the vocals. Then mix the vocals from there and, when I'm happy - ish - export the whole lot back to the PC to master. My problem is that the vocal is now part of the mix so whatever I do to the mix affects the vocal too. I think I need to start recording the vocal directly to BIAB so that I have everything on separate tracks which, I assume, I could then open in Realband. Not that I've ever used realband, but it would allow me to use some of the excellent mastering and vocal software that is out there. All I wanna do is write and sing lol........oh the pain...the pain!! Thanks again for listening. Martin

Howdy Josie, Thanks, as always, for taking the time to listen. Glad you liked it. You're right - some of these guys n gals on here are soooooo good. The sound they achieve is superb - and I hate them all lol!! The good thing is, as with all musicians, they are such a friendly, helpful bunch. And like you, I have learned so much from them already. It's not my favourite part of the songwriting process, so every piece of help and advice I get is truly appreciated. Anything that'll make the process a little easier!! Take care. Martin

Hi John, Thanks for listening, and those kind comments. And thanks for pointing me to your website. That was so helpful and informative. Just proves the point I was making to Josie above regarding the kindness of those on here. Not sure what my next step is regarding my recording process - time to sit and ponder!! Thanks once again. All the best Martin

Martin, from how you describe your recording process it sounds to me like you could benefit from buying a full-blown DAW like Sonar for example? You'd be able to record all your tracks separately and try all mix options, as well use mix and master tools like TRacks or Ozone.
John

Martin,
I completely agree with John. It sounds like you need a good DAW (Digital Audio Workstation).
I use Reaper and find it brilliant. My workflow is: write the song in BIAB; assemble the tracks I want in Realband (because RB works with BIAB files); take the tracks to Reaper, mix them and record vocals. When you buy Reaper, you automatically get a huge collection of excellent plug-ins that allow you to dress-up tracks. I can honestly say that buying Reaper was the best $40 I've spent. For years I used Sonar/Cakewalk Home Studio; the Sonar people didn't give away too much for free.
Regards,
Noel

Martin,
Good song, good job, good sound! I agree, with the comments about getting a full blown DAW. Once you get past the initial learning curve, you will find that it saves you a lot of work. I agree with Noel that Reaper is a really good DAW for the price. I don't use it (because I have Logic Pro) but I have toyed around with it, and it really has a lot of powerful features. Also, because it is such a low cost DAW, it is really catching on in the industry, and you can find a lot of tutorial videos for it on YouTube. Just a thought.
Anyway, good job! Keep it up!
Steve

Okay guys.....here we go! I've downloaded Ozone 4 to try it out. I've bought Reaper as my DAW of choice. I've watched the tutorial video telling me how to drag and drop tracks from BIAB. it ain't working!!!!! Can't seem to get Reaper to play any WAV files. It's playback is stuttery and distorted. I've checked the few settings that I actually understand. Now I have no idea what to do!!

Hi Martin, Have you downloaded the instruction manual for Reaper? I use ASIO4ALL with Reaper and it travels along on my Vista 32-bit OS without a hitch. I also prefer to use theme Options | Themes | Default_3.0 because I personally find it easier to see the VU meter in the Mixer. I suggest that you don't install Ozone yet. Wait until you have Reaper up and working and you're feeling comfortable with it. Ozone only gives you 10 days to try it out and it would be a shame to not maximize those days because of still learning a DAW. Below are the settings I use - found under Options | Preferences | Audio | Device.  Notes- The Audigy 2 ZS is my external soundcard that I use for both inputs and outputs.
- I did nothing to configure the ASIO settings under "ASIO Configuration".
If your Reaper experience is destined to be anything like mine, it will take a couple of weeks for you to start feeling comfortable with the DAW. It's incredibly powerful and there's an awful lot to get one's head around. What I did was to download the file "All Through The Night.RPP", progressively work my way through the User's Guide, and follow all the instructions in the Guide about how to modify "All Through The Night" in the many described ways. Regards, Noel P.S. It's probably better to take this discussion over to the "Off Topic" forum. It's likely to get lost in this thread.

Martin, Here's a link to some Youtube videos that are worth watching. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8Y8X_T3QBIoThese were prepared by our own Shockwave199 (Dan). He's done a great job. Dan also uses Reaper. The videos follow the sequence of: 1) preparing a song in BIAB; 2) dressing it up in Realband; 3) Mixing it down in Reaper. Just some more food for thought for you. Regards, Noel

Hi Noel, I thank you so much for trying to help me on this, but I'm afraid I'm already losing the will to live. And for someone like me, who has very little already, that's dangerous ground. I tried the settings you suggested using the ASIO thingy and I just get no sound at all. I had already found those videos on youtube and I'm sure they are excellent for someone who enjoys working with these things. I just don't have the patience. I use BIAB because it's what I understand and enjoy working with. It's like working with other musicians. It deals with beats, bars, chords and instruments. And I understand and enjoy that. This DAW business loses me completely. All I really wanted to do was find some way of simply recording my vocal and backing vocals directly to my PC as separate tracks so that I could take advantage of the software out there capable of putting the final polish to my vocals. I've always hated and been disappointed with the quality of sound on my vocals which is made worse when I hear from other excellent posters on here what can be achieved. Guess it might be easier for me to scrub this idea altogether and have my songs recorded at a pro studio. I am honestly grateful for the help you and all have given me on here but right now I am moments away from taking a hammer to the lot!!!!! No joke!! I haven't recorded a new song for months, tho I've written so many, and it's getting really frustrating!! As someone said: "God give me patience............but hurry!!"

Martin, Did you install ASIO4ALL? The reason I ask is because I'm not sure that the ASIO drivers that come with soundcards always work. I know that my Creative ASIO doesn't work with Reaper but ASIO4ALL does. To be honest, it's really persevering with a DAW. That being said, it does take time and effort and, if you are seeking instantaneous results, I can appreciate the frustration. When I set up Reaper, I did nothing special at all. I simply installed ASIO4ALL, then installed Reaper and it all worked. Mind you, it was all very very confusing to start with Regards, Noel

Hi Noel, Yes I did install ASIO4ALL. I honestly don't expect instant results - but from a program designed as an audio workstation I do expect sound lol!! Unfortunately, after spending the whole day searching umpteen forums, and finding countless people having the same problem with Reaper - I still have no sound. Or if I do have sound, the playback is slow, distorted and echoey. I'm sure there's an obvious fix for this but I'm damned if I can find it - and damned if I care anymore. I'm sure I should be able to achieve what I want in Realband - he said optimistically!! I won't take up anymore of your time - you've been more than generous with your time. Thank you Martin

Hey Martin, I don't know about where you live, but where I am, in most of the larger music stores they offer lessons (for a fee) for just about anything musical. Not only for instruments, but for recording software, etc. as well. I have never taken advantage of any of them, but they seem to have pretty knowledgeable personnel. I would think it may be worth making a small investment (in one or two lessons) to have someone help you get your software setup, and give you a short get-started class to just be able to accomplish your simple goals. It sounds like you have reached a wall of frustration that is keeping you from getting where you want to go. (That happens to all of us. ) It just might help to have someone who is not frustrated to help you get back to a more peaceful place. Since you've already invested in Reaper, just one more small investment may get you there. Good luck! Steve

Martin,
What are the specifications of your computer, what operating system do you use, and what soundcard is installed?

Hi Martin, very groovy song! I'm curious, why can't you just do your recording/mixing with RealBand? It does the same things as other DAWs and works well with BIAB. For vocals, I hook up a USB mic to my PC and record directly into Realband, where I can mix it with the other realtracks. RealBand also has a good set of built-in plugins, like gain, reverb, EQ, etc.
I think sometimes we can get too caught up with the technology aspect when the whole point is to make our song sound good and professional. I think BIAB + Realband is good enough to create a professional song.

I believe anieyo is right Martin, for your needs at the moment. Start with a programme (yeh I'm British) that is made for BIAB. Apart from it being an excellent starter DAW the forums are excellent as advice is always available. I believe many of the contributors use Real Band or Power Tracks for their recordings and then eventually move on to different DAWs. I use Cubase SX1 myself as I got a freebie years back with my 1st PC and upgraded for a while, as I understood it. Use BIAB and RealTracks/PowerTracks to write and record your songs then move on if you want to, to Reaper etc. I had a 1680 which was great for recording live bands but mixing was very hard with the little screen and the sub-sub-sub menus. I actually swapped it for a good PC, many many years ago, best thing I ever done Apart from adding computer gear to my addiction for new musical stuff   Alyn
