Location: NJ | It's a cute little 3-chord ditty . . . a fun little "filler" song t'do in live applications (especially w/other people) and y'need to "kill" some time, not really one of my faves . . . don't think I'd wanna commit it to tape . . . uh. . . disk space(?). |

It will make the initial shock of recording go down a little easier than if you try something hard and get frustrated.
I am especially looking forward to hearing something from the world renowned Cliffster! :D |

I have to admit that the song you sent me was absolutely flawless. I couldn't hear a single mistake (musically or vocally) throughout the entire cut! |

Location: Nova Scotia, Canada | Thanks, Waskel! I have been listening to the songs you posted here as well and it's great stuff.
A couple of questions:
What is "Atmosphere" and "Band in a Box"?
Also, I've noticed that every other recording posted here has a higher playback level than my songs as well as a nice airy sparkle that mine is missing. If I try to mix the levels any higher, they distort.
I've heard some negative things about using the Creative Audigy cards for recording. Could this be the problem or could it be some limitation of Magix Studio 7?
Stephen, can you post Jeff's song? It's great to hear form some of the talent on this board...this thread has been a lot of fun!

Location: Latitude 39.56819, Longitude -105.080066 | Wayne, it was an inside joke.
Jeff told me he was sending me his first ever effort at recording but sent me an eamil without anything attached.
Subsequent attempts also failed. Since he is using a Mac, I am unable to offer him any assistance.
Atmosphere is a plug-in for various software studios. Band-In-A-Box is an Apple only program similiar to Cubase, Cakewalk, Protools, etc., except a little more budget minded. |

Turns out, It was just too big as a quicktime file to send via email. I will see about converting it to MP3 |

Location: closely held secret | Atmosphere is a software synth. Mostly it is aimed at pads and leads that are 'airy'. Band in a Box is a PC-based program which provides... well it's like a Band. In a Box. This is easier than explaining it.
The sound and sparkle thing I'll explain when I have more time, Schroed. Gotta go help a friend move some stuff. |

Schroeder - ... oh, never mind. |

Shameless plug time. The instrumental tracks I've shared here are part of a collection I have put on a CD called 'Rest'.
It is available for $5 + shipping, a very reasonable amount, if you ask me. It barely begins to cover what I spent on recording hardware and software. The more I sell the more it encourages me to keep at it...
Ok, end of ad. Thanks for listening.
John. |
