Great job all you guys, some serious talent out there.

I have to tell you I liked your song and Demo one hell of a lot. I had to crank up the volume all the way but was impressed with the song, vocals and the I30.

Thank you guys for all your warm words.
It's really nice to be a part of such a great community.

The songs are great, however I didn't get a chance to hear Tony's W. Lola...
I guess Tony, your bandwidth got maxed out just like mine did a couple of days ago

Well, got to run. Funeral is on Friday and me and my wife are in charge of all the florist's orders and stuff.

Keep them songs comming. It's great to hear all your work and all of your arrangers. As a matter of fact, I started enjoying the music more and got to a conclusion that... it's not the equipment that matters, it's the heart behind that keyboard

cheers,

CCDMax:

I had a look at your website. Nice job. It took a little while to load on my old dial-up disabled PC. Just got to hear bits and pieces of "Dream" but what I heard, I really enjoyed. Nice!

Sorry about your loss. My prayers are with you and your loved ones.

All my best, RICE (The Lone Arranger)

Hello, Newbie here. Well, not so much a newbie because I have been reading this forum for a while. Very informative and interesting to say the least.
I have finally gotten the courage to submit something I played but need some help in how to work things out on yousendit.com.
I see that a number of you use that site to post your music, so if one of you could provide instructions I would be most appreciative.
Thank you,
Guy

Sorry to hear about your loss ccdmax.

I lost a grandpa a while back who had raised me. So I know how you feel.

Sorry to hear of your loss, ccdmax. Your grandad may be gone, but the love will live on forever.

Jerry: Thanks for your kind comments re. my Korg i30 efforts.

Good punchy sound there, jingleman. Just got a question about that. I record my Korg i30 into Adobe Audition, but my recording skills (or lack thereof) somehow don't get me that 'punch' factor. Can you give us, in simple terms, how you set up your levels and what eq, etc. you're applying? It would be a great help. Thanks in advance,
Renig

Renig,

The Korg PA1X has a pretty punchy sound to begin with but, I still find that EQ and compression are necessary to maximize the sound I'm looking for. Adobe Audition has
some excellent compression and limiting presets. Under Amplitude effects there is one imparticular I like. It is called "Hard Limiting". I needed to back off some of the threshold setting a little but, this preset puts your track 'Right In Your Face". Great for radio spots and jingles where impact is necessary. Might be a bit much for all song production but, I've had success with tweaking the preset slightly for some song production. I just saw an article in "Mix" magazine showing a diagram of a song waveform mastered back in the 70's compared to a song waveform mastered today. The 70's mix was mastered very conservatively. The wave form for the new mix was..."Hard Limiting" preset all the way.

Good Luck,
Jingleman
