I'd like to thank all the folks here that answered all my silly question... from how to make a home studio... which sound card to buy...ect... Thanks to you guys I have finished a CD which I didn't even think about until my wife demanded lyrics when purchasing the PSR2000 at Christmas... I found writing the songs to be much easier than mastering recording, which I still have not done... I may have to tweak the vocal volume on some songs but other than that I'm raping up this project... Again you folks have help me a bunch and would like to say thanks... You can check out samples http://www.chipos.com/beachbum/
Or not... But just wanted to say thanks to all that help me!
Oh,could have been 100% better than it... Although could have been 100% worse...

Dj,
I listened to your whole cd. Man, you've come a long way on your mixing/recording abilities.

My favorites Olden Times, No Time, Moonlight, Ragged Man, and of course Why, which is still my fav of fav's. I think the style of Why suits your vocals the best, plus I like the lyrics and the melody the best on this one.

I can't help but get the feeling of the "Jesus Christ Superstar" phenominon of the early 70's with your styles and melodies, which if you're too young to remember was a MEGA hit album in it's day.

Alll around very cool and I give this cd a 9/10. Thanks for sharing
jam on,
Terry

Terry, if you have 5 favorites it can't be that bad a CD. It kind of sucks when your trying to thank a community for their help and your thread gets hijacked. Terry, you owe me a CD and I'll ship mine to you. Have your address already... I'm looking forward to creating my next CD...
Thanks again all... And really thanks, Terry for answering all my emails with lengthy replies your one of the big resons this even happened!

I did some final remixing and think this is much better.

Hi Beachbum,

That's some very nice work there. I don't know if it struck anyone else, but you have some very Sting-like qualities in your voice, and the processing seems to enhance that. What processing do you have on the vocal track? It's an intriguing effect.

Good luck with your efforts.

Mr. Red,
Thanks for the listen... I get that Sting stuff all the time. I've heard my stuff enough now where I don't notice it. Wish I sounded like Tony (then I'd be unique) Anyway, I record from my Psr2000 to my mixer, then to my Delta card. I used Cool Edit for the recording and used real audio expander for the vocal... This effect mellowed it out a bit so I didn't get to loud on some parts. I also used the harmonizing effects on the PSR2000 on Olden Times and Carry me home. I also boosted the treble a bit on both music and vocals...
Feel free if you have anymore questions...
Thanks again,
DJ
