this is really neat man. I dig the harmonies.. they make the song really. There's things I like about both. The second mix is a little more cohesive sounding. Things jump out though. The printed reverb and flange are both kinda extreme I think. Maybe use a LITTLE TINY bit of compression to calm the...

I have a Fostex MR-8HD, so when I decided to buy a battery operated recorder, I decided to buy an MR-8mkII. As I suspected, it operates almost exactly like the MR-8HD. So, no learning curve. So, this is a recording that I made sitting on my bed. The guitar(s) are direct input and the vocal(s) were m...

I would like to import the mono WAV files from my Fostex Multitracker into a program to do mixdowns on computer. The idea is to expand the number of tracks that I can record/mix without constantly buying bigger and bigger digital recorders. I like recording on a dedicated digital recorder and am not...

Software wise, I have been using the Sony CD Architect since it was a Sonic Foundry plug-in. It writes red book CDs perfectly every time for me. It's also easy to use and gives you a lot of features. Massive Mastering suggestions for drive type and media are right on the money. I found Sound Forge ...

If you're creating production masters for replication: ...You need a solid drive (I always suggest Plextor), quality media (Tayio Yuden is the defacto standard) and a way of checking the disc for compliancy (Block error rates, etc.). If you're making simple reference discs to listen to: What you ha...

Can anyone out there suggest a CD-R drive and brand of media suitable for creating CD masters?

Also, I typically use Roxio Easy CD and DVD Creator to burn my CD's. If I need different software to make CD masters, I'd appreciate a recommendation on that as well.

Thanks,
Butch

Try less verb. ...try slapback on guitar or the Background vocals. Give the bass a little more attack. Try the drums American.... Fix the F you hit on the keys on the E arpeggio when the bass comes in. Sorry I couldn't resist. I like youre voice. Try Dynamics and explore EQ. Thanks for the suggesti...

I downloaded the ZIP and was able to extract all the MP3 files, just fine. I downloaded it with my WinXP laptop and opened it with WinZip v.9.0.

This is my first post to the "listen to my stuff" forum. I'm submitting a cover of "Unchained Melody" that I recorded for critique. Don't be too cruel to the musicians, their all "me". This is a one-man-band recording.

Some very good ideas -- Thanks, everyone.

Steve Sadler at Blevins audio recommended a repair tech for MCI/Sony machines that's local to NYC, but I can't remember it. If you reach out to him (check the www.blevinsaudio.com page for contact info), he can probably tell you who it is. Good luck. = Justin Okay. I'll check into that, too. Thanks!

I like the Rode NT1A....

Like my mics, the preamp I use is inexpensive, too. I use a Berringer T1953 Tube Ultragain 2 channel preamp.
