Re: Mastering...

I'm about to do the same thing - master my own mixes - and I've barely got a clue. I've experimented with a multiband limiter with varying results. For the project I've got, I'll be happy if I can slap it in the truck stereo and all the tunes sound about the same volume. The hurdle here is the array...

Re: Cleaning up bass tracks

Playing with your fingers does not create noise. Playing with your feet creates a lot of noise, and playing with your tongue just makes a mess.

Is this bass player learning the difference between live technique and recording technique?

Re: CD Burn Software

I've done what you're doing by cutting. pasting and saving into separate files, then reassembling in the burner software, but Cool Edit Pro allows you to do just exactly what you're saying. I think. I haven't actually done it but I've read about it.

What's your timeline zoom at - are you looking in at the millisecond level, or are you looking at 20 seconds?

That's inherently self-contradictory, aint it? Where does an apology come from?

Whatever. You're pure, gotta love it. FTW.

Re: Does this look legit?

Isn't that called a "phisher"? It's like the usual spam but it snares people by striking the personal level. "How could they know about my PayPal account?" -- they don't - folks without a PayPal account will ignore it. They only need a fraction of a percent to suspend their disbelief and click that ...

Appreciate THIS

I ran a BBS a dozen years ago, when the closest ISP was in Boston, and this is the first board I've hung out at running phpBB and I've just got to say this shit rocks. Granted, the http makes it possible, where the BBS software I was running was plain ol' dos and ansi art, but still, this shit rocks...

Re: Help Me! I'm so lost

I agree with somebody who said you're not at all lost - you're treading the path of your choosing. I gotta share my story. I was idunno, 13 or 14 when I got the bug to record. I bought a *portable cassette recorder* when they were a brand new thing - $35 when gas was $0.35 and I don't know the figur...

Re: is anyone legal?

I formed an S corp for my day job biz, and apart from the hopefully intangible benefit of liability shielding, there is a certain amount of income that is not subject to certain taxations and that is the tangible benefit. I can't say offhand whether the cost and benefit are truly worth it, but I'm h...

All kinds of shit - too true.
