Re: ... And They're All On These Boards!! (Half a Million Nerds)
I'm just starting to think my ear for music is different. I can listen to my friends' (and my own) lo-fi acoustic demos for hours on end, and for some reason my mind just fills in the backing music, and I can enjoy it fully. Me too. I care less than half as much about the recording than about the p...

Re: CD Mastering
I just gave Ozone a test drive on a couple of my SF songs, purely as a master effect. To my ear, the defaults all pretty much mangled the sound, generally by doing too much in the mid frequency range. The only song that improved in my ears was my "Half A Million Nerds", probably due to the...

Re: ... And They're All On These Boards!! (Half a Million Nerds)
I hate to be the one to ask, but ... if you think your song has no redeemable value and is a waste of disk space, why would you send it in? Because you can't improve if you never start. Of course, "no redeemable value" is overly harsh, but I used to be very critical of my stuff, to the po...

Song Fight 2008 review
I have been following Song Fight since some time around mid July this year. Now the year is ending, I thought it might be a good idea to collect my personal favourites of the year (these aren't reviews, they're declarations of love) now that there's a bit of distance. Feel free to join in if you're ...

Re: Thank You SONG FIGHT!!!
Song Fight! has given me two extremely valuable things. One is that I have deadlines now. Deadlines make me about ten thousand times more productive. The other is that I get reviews from people who aren't afraid of hurting my feelings and who have the knowledge to be able to provide rather more deta...

QUESTION: She has gone to Wellington. Her flight home is delayed due to fog. Why does he think she will never come back? I'm thinking of the classic idea that you don't realize what you've got to lose until you lose it. Potentially, in this case. So maybe he didn't really care that much about the r...

Re: ... And They're All On These Boards!! (Half a Million Nerds)
For a sound that's part of a background texture, I'm happy playing horn lines on a keyboard. It's the chords that give it away as a "keyboard" arrangement, if I would have played keyboard chords instead of the lines that make up a more realistic horn section. The point is that had I three...

Re: ... And They're All On These Boards!! (Half a Million Nerds)
I wanted just a snippet of horn sound for City in Fog that would say "big band", I had the horn sounds ready, then realized I had no idea what chords to use to make it sound like I'm not a keyboard player. I actually think that if you use keys for something that's actually supposed to sou...

Re: 2008: Dec 15-16
this is pretty silly. As is the idea that one of "on the team was I" and "on the team was me" is better. Both are horrible; one is wrong and the only way you can get away with the other is to put it that way in a poem. Actually I just noticed you already said that yourself. So w...

And thanks again for taking the time to answer my questions. Sure thing. Actually I was going to tell you about my newest finds during mixing the current song, but then I noticed it sounded awful, so I went back to what you already know. Too bad. I may go and write my own gain compressor soonish, I...
