Hi.

 

I thought I'd kick off a few Polls.  While 'Lyric Critique' is by far the most popular Topic, I thought I'd start off with areas of personal interest to me ... 'Production and Recording', and also 'Songwriting'.

This Poll will close automatically at Midnight on Dec 31 and, as far as I can see, it is anonymous.    

 

It's the first Poll I've created using the limited tool options available here on the Songstuff site ... but it is no Survey Monkey!  It doesn't allow for freeform text or numbers to be entered.  I don't know how the results will present, to whom, or when (although a DAW Poll a few years back seemed to give comprehensive results).   But, if available only to me, I promise to make them available to everyone.

 

If it works well, then it can be done each year to gauge how the site is performing and how the Membership is faring with producing music.

 

If you feel there are 'questions of general interest' missing (for THIS TOPIC area only), please post them here.  I can add them to the list for future repeats and perhaps the evolving Poll could be re-run by the site admins at the end of each year? 

 

But let's wait and see how this one works out! :)

 

Cheers,

Greg

Number 9 didn’t have my biggest reason… available time. I devote a lot of time to Songstuff, but that is across all the boards plus site maintenance and creating articles and blog posts etc.

Like John, I couldn't answer #9, because my answer to that question is that I just recently rejoined Songstuff.  I suggest you also include an All/None option for #9 as well.  I also wish that question #7 was rephrased to ask what level of interest I have in production and recording, and gave me the option of "very interested."  As is, it's only asking what interest I have in what is posted here, with a max level being that I find posts "usually interesting."

Having just spent some time in a studio recording a song, at a cost of £40 per hour, I'm not surprised that this is a big benefit of home recording. I am fortunate that I was able to record all the music for the track in question before entering the studio for all the vocals. In our case, there were 14 vocalists, plus a few children on a separate occasion.  I can't record vocals at home. Far too much extraneous noise! Which includes my lovely neighbour, who is in her late 80s and enjoys nothing more than playing the keyboard quite loudly! Bless her. Long may she continue to do so. Also, when I start singing, the dog always feels like adding some harmonies. Sadly, he's rubbish at harmonies, and singing in general! Plus, there is always somebody in the house! Or the washing machine is going. Thank heavens for midi. :)

 

This is the track in question!
