my recording hardware n software

instrument - guitar
soundcard - gametheater XP
drum/bass tracks - fruityloops producer
mixing - adobe audition (used to be cooledit pro)

sounds ok-ok la

Pix: you can use any plugin with a pitch-shifting feature. just set it to shift down 1 octave... but i've never got satisfactory bass sound from that. yep, fruityloops has got a cool bass plugin. when i get home, i can direct you to which plugins in fruityloops you can use to generate realistic bass guitar sounds.

if you use a mic designed for webcam, of course lah dapat sound webcam

try to look for/borrow a karaoke mic and re-record the vocals. won't get professional sound, but much better than the genius mic.

hallo... i came across this great article on mastering your DIY recording to get quality sound. but i've never tried it... it could do good to my awful sounding songs

here's another great article on mastering in pc. it has tips on how to set each instrument (guitars, bass, drums, vocals) in the mixer to achieve a good balance in the final mix.

i'm with pix here... if you don't plan on copyrighting your stuffs, share them with us! don't be embarassed coz we're not pros either (maybe there are a few).

that reminds me... i haven't updated the 1st post of the My Song thread in a while... considering all the expired yousendits etc

i'm now focusing in making electronic music... dunno if my hands still can take the grunt of those guitar strings

btw where did all of you get those cool music forum and equipment user signatures?

Hi all... anyone familiar with creating music on Logic Pro? I used to use Fruityloops on Windows, but since switching to Mac, I still couldn't find a replacement for it. Garageband doesn't count

I'm looking to create music using loops and recorded instruments (guitar & vocals).

Trying out Ableton Live for the past few days... what I miss about Fruityloops is the step sequencer which enables me to lay out realistic drum tracks easily.
