| Dang, I missed that earlier. Just Like A Fish reminds me of why I like gettin' together and just jamming with you. Blues Street was great as well.
Honest critique, if I may be so bold (see one, do one, teach one, right?): mix-wise, you're about where I was a couple-three recordings ago. You need to play around with compression and EQ to really bring out the different tracks and put them where you want 'em in the sonic field.
Damn, I wish I could play that well. Lemme know if you want some recommendations on VST plugins that worked well for me on Two Teardrops. Keep going, buddy, great start! |

Again thanks for all the input.
Coincidentally, I just got a BR-800 . I've barely scratched the surface of what it can do. Your results are highly motivating, but my limited time (and talent) haven't allowed me to get very far yet… :(
The Boss is a little dated too, it actually comes with a 128mb CF memory card and the largest it will take is 1gb. That limitation was one of the biggest reasons I waited for the BR-800 to finally ship (it was announced about 9 months ago.) The BR-800 can take up to a 32 gig SDHC card. |

These two songs were recorded and mixed entirely on the BR-600 and imported into audacity to create the audio file. I think my next step is to bring all the individual tracks into reason and do the mix there.
Standing, The BR-800 looks very nice, it overcomes the limitations of the BR-600 and can be used as a control surface for a DAW. I like this feature a lot.
Serge, thanks for the advice! I am at the very beginning of this learning process need feedback, tips and suggestions. So, what VST plugins are you using? |

Location: Brighty in Blighty | I've successfully recorded my 1st album on a low budget laptop with a Intel 2g Celeron CPU running Cubase 4.
I've had very positive feedback with regard to the sound quality.
You can listen to the some samples (albeit MP3 versions) here:

Select Quadruped. Oh and Track 6 - Natsuhiboshi is my Elite 1537! |

For all that work, I sure hope that contraption also lights up ChezTman with a couple of hundred thousand christmas lights synchronized to mannheim steamroller. |
