Okay, so I am a newbie when it comes to recording music digitally. I have been having fun getting started and figured I would post some of what I have done. I really have no idea what I am doing when it comes to mixing/editing/mastering, so the songs don't sound that good, and they are badly missing bass and drums, which I have no way to record at the moment. Some of the songs sound hollow in spots where I hope to have drum fills and build ups eventually. So for now, this is what I have done in this learning process. Oh, and I cannot sing, so apologies for that, but somebody had to do it.
Thanks for stopping by.

Thanks Bryn
I just wanted to publicly say thank you to Bryn for adding such a great drum track to the song Sunshine for me. I know he put a lot of time into it, and it turned out great. THANKS BRYN!
I still have to mix it some, but I couldn't wait to go ahead and post it.

New Toys
Ok, so I have recently gotten a new computer with 4 Amd Phenom processors and 5GB of ram just to record music on. I also got a new Edirol PCR 800 midi controller keyboard and Sonar Home Studio 7 XL. I am really loving the new toys, and am currently remastering my old tracks. I am able to do so much more now thanks to the new software and tons of plugins I have aquired.
So hopefully my production will be getting better now, and I will continue to learn more daily on how to use my DAW best. Always… Continue

Getting Started
Well, I am finally all set up at MTM. I have been wanting to get into digital recording for a while and be able to post some stuff here. I found about MTM from my friend Ian in Ireland, and couldn't wait to get going with my own page. I have been enjoying learning how to use the DAWs and how to mix/produce songs. I still have a lot to learn, but it's fun.
This is a fun hobby for me because I love music so much and have been playing guitar for a long time now, but never had a way to record my ow… Continue

Ian Maleney said… - Thanks D, you should try it, its incredible how changing your working process like that can free up ideas. Its worth doing just for that alone. I recommend the first SampleFreq challenge too...

TheGalacticFederation said… - I really like your songs. The recordings demonstrate what you are capable of, but it's true that the recordings are not fully realised.
In track 2 or 3, the timing of the rhythm guitar went right out and it needed more compression to pull things together and BOOST THE VOLUME. Is there a LIMITER in your version of SONAR? If so, put this right over the master bus and drive it a little harder than normal without distorting the giutars too much - and re-record them to a decent rhthym track.
You can press ALT-L on any clip in the main window and it will form a GROOVE-CLIP. DRAG this out and place it where you need a rhythm track. Get loops from a sample pack, magazine or free off the internet - there are sights for this.
