[Mid/side]

So you are telling me that mid/side compression is used only in mastering? 

[Mid/side]

Hey guys, recently I've been looking into a bunch of mid/side things like this one. Do you use mid/side compression/eq? If you do, when does it work?

[Can This Song Make Money?]

Thanks guys! I'm spending time improving things. I won't try to sell this one, but the future is bright

[Playing And Singing At The Same Time...]

Of course, but it became a thoroughly different song though

[I Want To Share This With You]

HI guys, I feel like letting you know that I got accepted in Glasgow Caledonian University. I'm taking an Audio Technology course.

What do you think?

Here it is.

[Stereo Spread (How Is It Done Right?)]

Thanks guys. Can I post a mix here when I try your advice in practice?

[Stereo Spread (How Is It Done Right?)]

Hello,

I use Logic and my stereo spreader plugin looks like that.

Can you guys give me some tips on what's good and what is wrong when widening a mix?

[Playing And Singing At The Same Time...]

Took a lot of time to learn that... About 5-6 hours of practice for a 20-second part.

[Playing And Singing At The Same Time...]

Sometimes I really hate myself for writing that song. That breakdown is impossible to play and sing at the same time.

How do you learn your songs (playing and singing at the same time)? Methods? Share them with me please

[Pen And Paper, Or Going Digital?]

Songs are a bit tricky because, personally, I can't write lyrics without singing. It's easier to not mess up with rythm and sounds.

I start a song by singing absolute nonsense to my phone (when it comes to proper words and grammar).

Then I sit down, track a little demo and start refining everything, trying to replace lyrics and music with sth meaningful.

I usually keep my lyrics stored in my DAW project.

[I Don't Want To Earn Money With My Music Anymore.]

This topic is such a pain. I'm making decisions this year. Studying music, recording.... I feel so confused when it comes to that money making thing. I've got ideas but everything seems so unclear that it's hard to plan ahead.

My planning from a top view is: "I will undertake several huge risks and try to do smart things if I get enough publicity"

Is there a marketing topic on the forum?

[Youtube And Facebook Promotion Tips?]

Thank you!

For an overview of what happened with my little facebook promotion:

I got 60 likes in 1 week. Still one song to release at the next 20 like mark

[Youtube And Facebook Promotion Tips?]

It's working quite well. I got 50+ likes for 2 days, so I released 2 songs.

2 more to come!

[Youtube And Facebook Promotion Tips?]

Thanks guys! After reading your posts I came up with an idea.

I will make a video-post telling people that they will get a song based on the number of likes and shares the post has gotten.

Something like "I will release a song on each 20-like-and-share mark"

That has a giveaway character to it. Plus, it's a great way to advertise. What do you think?

[The Songstuffer On Youtube List]

Hi guys, I got one too!

[Youtube And Facebook Promotion Tips?]

What's the way to promote music in that viscinity? Let's discuss strategies here.

I think one needs to take the time and produce quality music, record it nicely and then move on to video production and promotion.

How is that done? My 1st step on that direction was making a trailer for my soon to be released EP - Fictional Character.

I'll try to make a full-length music video and then post the hell out of my social network accounts.

That's what I've come up with so far. Any other ideas?

[Logic Vs Pro Tools]

"It's a matter of preference. Both have all the capability that any competent sound engineer would need to create a broadcast quality product. "

And I'm not limiting your selection. You should look up DAWs on google and see what suits your system.

[Do You Get Your Songs Mastered Before Posting Them To Your Music Site?]

Very in-depth! Thank you.

[Do You Get Your Songs Mastered Before Posting Them To Your Music Site?]

Prometheus, dо you mean that one needs to know how to master a song despite it's being sent to a mastering engineer?

[Fain Band Professional Demo Tape]

This is massive! Best of luck guys, your music is great.

[Logic Vs Pro Tools]

Yes,what I found is that Pro Tools is better at audio editing while Logic has tons of built-in instruments that make songwriting easier. Graham Cochrane from http://therecordingrevolution.com/ said that both DAWs can achieve the same results but each requires a completely different approach.

[Do You Get Your Songs Mastered Before Posting Them To Your Music Site?]

I'm still learning and I don't have the money to pay for a mastering engineer. So - no. But I think that if you have spent the last 1-2 years or so working on a serious project, why not? Of course you'll be needing your songs to sound pristine.

[Logic Vs Pro Tools]

Hi there,it's been a while since I last posted. I'm a Logic guy but I constantly keep seeing pro musicians use Pro Tools. What's the difference?
