life is a lemon AND I WANT MY MONEY BACK!

The latter for me, John. I know what to do, but how to do it bemuses the creation of the idea. I rekon that to do it, you need other people. Doing it yourself will yield a half baked mash

you don't give yourself enough credit imho, Great to read such a wise digestion, even if it's only now and again. AND I appreciate you do travel quite a bit. Very refreshing dude

just to go along with the genre of some of the posts http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8x5QYLxFcU4 show me the hands!

All of it matters, Jules. But if 1 person thinks a vocal is superb, that does'nt mean everyone will. To put it another way, the vocals / music / lyrics should come as a package to tell a story or make a point etc. If the mix is good, then the listener will concentrate on the latter and not on the individual parts that comprise the track. So, a strong rustic vocal can completely ruin a soft toned ballad, for example. And that ballad would not communicate properly if it were sung inappropriately.

I find that experimentation with various effects, eq etc is the best policy making every track unique. There are no guidelines that way and the song begins to produce itself requiring some of the parts to change to blend with the new master mix. Of course, there are some elements that are pretty much a necessity for radio mixes eg compression. And vocal touchups are all too common now reducing studio time costs & also providing a neat track. However, I have yet to do this on my own tracks which is plainly obvious

If everyone else can hear the 'bad' version also, then you can eliminate the SigmaTel as the problem; unless the conversion process is done on the fly inside this chip. But that is highly unlikely. So it's pointing to a problem in the formats you have selected as discussed. Unfortunately I have never used Mixcraft... And I can't listen to the examples on this PC Try getting all the formats the same for each of your tracks prior to importing it into Mixcraft. Its possible mixcraft is not too keen on the format generated via your POD X3. -

I write to inspire and hopefully influence.

I like to start with the music first and let others influence the lyrics, then elaborate on the full song in an attempt to astound. Very seldom have I written music to someone elses lyrics, but these sparse occassions have been very fruitfull.

Agreed in all posts. But for a home studio based band, the reverse effect should be used once and best left well alone after that. Believe me, you will never live it down However consistency in a particular combination of effects applied throughout an album seems to be common practice.
-
Just to add an extra technique; stick to FinnArild's rules and get the vocal recorded well first, then you could try adding a short reverb aswell as a gated reverb to add some depth.

the seasons are the most obvious cycle for us to have mood changes. we cope with that using clothes, lights, etc. In other words we adapt. Brain rewards obtained from simple tasks such as observing the moon can be ample on one day, and another day the moon merely catches the corner of your eye. We change. I don't hold much else on this post other than to admit that I related momentarily at points throughout the flow of the text. I rekon many did too. The self ingratiation of the writer stopped at the point you pointed out desertrose

visit www.kvraudio.com and try out some of the free vst effects with your cubase package. If you like it, then maybe start investing in some vst fx plugins (ebay dude). -

people need ownership of something, so a memory stick is a ... hmmm.... multipurpose freebee.

You would need to expand on 'Album Art' for me, Steve. Im not sure if you mean adding video, pictures, multi-media to existing CD technology. And since the medium can store massive quantities of data now, then yes, graphics artists with a tendency towards music would be ideal. CD's aren't going anywhere. The global corporates wanted a shift to online storage; driving a requirement for mobile internet connectivity. But you will always be paying out of your arse for that too. CD's are far more cost effective for industry & consumer.

DANNII MINGOUE: PUT THE NEEDLE ON IT

Then you will be satisfied with the prospect of having multiple streams of audio playing from your super audio disc. Very prospective future for the audio industry especially home cinema. I agree with you and I would call it a gimmik

In case you want to know where the dogs are mooching and sniffing around. Flash media storage is now cost effective; their little bar charts are finally showing a potential profit, so time to call in the calvary! It will be interesting to see what type of mess they make of this too. http://business.timesonline.co.uk/tol/busi...icle2648613.ece

1394 firewire is as good as usb2 AND you can cascade firewire devices; eg, 4x an 8 channel soundblaster in series gves you a 32 track rsystem. check with the sound blaster manufacturer for support of this feature. My 1394 phase88 rack corrupts the 1394 driver and i have to keep resetting the box. cascade also does'nt work, and I had to buy a 1394 pci card with a via chipset specifically to get it working.
