I've been in the middle before, where the webhost blames the shopping cart and the shopping cart blames the web host, and me, not a tech person, stuck in the middle. It's frustrating.

Re: Limiting - getting my feet wet Guitarhacker 1 hour ago Forum: Recording, Mixing, Performance and Production Jump to new postsJump to new posts
Andrew, I would highly recommend that you pick up a copy of a book by Bobby Owsinski. It's called The Mixing Engineer's Handbook. It's an in-depth dive into the basic things you should know about mixing and a discussion on all of the tools and how to use them correctly and effectively. There's also a section full of interviews with the top award winning engineers in the music business. A lot of your questions are answered in the book and I guarantee there's things in the book that you haven't even considered yet.

Thank you for listening. So to answer your question..... The live vocal was doubled in my DAW. Melodyne can transpose the entire track. So it was raised by a major 3rd. Of course that'll result in some good notes and some not so good ones. You go through one section at a time and edit the notes that don't sound good. Melodyne is transparent on small changes but can introduce some small artifacts on larger changes. However, this technique allows for a very tight and precise harmony performance. Hope that clarifies things.

Glad you liked the song. I spent a little bit of time working on the mix and like they say, the mix is never done. It just gets abandoned.

I'm inclined to agree. There are multiple events where something works for some and not for everyone, and the provider, instead of investigating in detail, takes the easy path. "It works for others so the problem must be elsewhere." Ask me how I know...

Thank you, Dan. I'm not huge on clanging cymbals either, but once I committed to it I did try to EQ it down a bit. Should have gone for the cowbell instead. Ha!

Re: Driving Circles DC Ron 4 hours ago Forum: User Showcase
Herb, superb backing track and great playing. Love the song and the arrangement moves the song along in all the right places at all the right times. The sheen is quite lovely and makes for pleasant listening. The vocals sound really nice, but they do remind me of synth vocals on some lines. Might be something in processing. The ambient FX on the vocals are quite nice. Super song!

Re: Mox Nix, Chickie DC Ron 4 hours ago Forum: User Showcase
Tom, really nicely put together. Unique but quite likeable band arrangement that sounds great. Cool, clever and, yes, silly lyrics. Vocals sound good and fit the style well. The "sweat off" line is a bit rushed and more noticeable since it's the chorus. A+ song!

Re: Bewitching Bossa (with Charlotte) Brno 6 hours ago Forum: User Showcase
So great singing of this Charlotte Couleau, that I had to check who she is. As I could guessed, she is not just only highly musically trained professional, but also a talented singer, pianist and composer. I wish I had a visiting vocalist like that to produce songs, but I can't afford to pay, when I don't get any incomes from my productions. P.S. Today is the national day of France. Viva la France!

Re: Concert a la Queens Brno 6 hours ago Forum: User Showcase
Not at all "a total disaster". Just little more building the progression and fine tuning the dynamics and it's genuine classic rock. On the other hand you're so great with the latin styles, that it's a pleasure to listen your those songs. I believe, that it's ok to stay at ones "comfort zone", but still having once in a while some adventures outside it. I like to play with different styles, because BiaB is there at it's best. Still I return often back to my roots, rhythm and blues and celtic folk music as born in the 1960s, but also even to Finnish folk music. So don't give up, even getting some critics.
