While recording our first demo my band have hit a difficult point, our sound engineer (who normally just mixes dance tunes) thinks it would be best if we quantise everything in our tracks, drums, bass, guitar and keyboard but we play indy/rock and are worried that this will give our songs, which also have a slight funk feel, a very dance tune or chart pop feel and take away the natural groove o

Here is a new composition I wrote. The recording isn't live, but I figured it would be more interesting to watch than a slideshow! The guitar is a Rainsong JM1000. C4C!

My band just finished a 6 song EP and are looking for mastering houses. The style of music is rock/pop and we are looking for a very punchy, poppy album. Think Maroon 5 meets Michael Jackson. Our budget is $200-$350. Who do you recommend?

Hey, guys. Greg Laswell is one of my favorite artists for a number of reasons, one of which being the sweeping melodies which make up his compositions. His instrumentals for many of his songs tend to have a very spacious feel, yet don't really seem to rely on an echo effect. The example I've posted in this thread is called "My Fight (For You)" from his new album Take A Bow.

I recently wrote and recorded a song. I wrote all the music except for the vocal melody which was written by my song-writing collaborator along with the lyrics. I am fairly proud of this song and I'd like to get some feedback but to be honest, I'm a little worried about it getting snatched for something.

I found this to be an excellent intro to mixing

Hello everyone out there!
I send my greetings to all the music recording community!

I am (try to be), a recording engineer, and my question is:

I tryed reading up on who gets paid from a song, and how royalties work, and it was too confusing.

So what I want to know is how much of the business is MANDATORY, and how much is NOGOTIATED. What i'm getting at is how much of the system can you modify without breaking any laws?

Hi guys new to the board and a bit confused but this seemed like a pretty good sub-forum to post this in. Do you guys know of any good way to remove vocals without getting very noticable effects on the instrumental track from an mp3? is it possible at all? using expert boy didn't work at all for me.
