http://webpages.charter.net/mcarlyle/sounds/comealive-01.mp3 My singer didn't show up so I gave it a go myself. I don't know if I'll be doing much more of this kind of singing.

This came at just the right time: I was moving things onto the iPod anyway, and was able to give it a good listen while walking to work, since the bike is on the blink :)

I don't think you've got much reason to hate your voice there! Would that I had so little excuse. The singing sounds good to me :) Doing my best to be picky, there's something that makes you sounds a little "distant", maybe in the effects or EQ? Eh, still sounds pretty polished!

If I didn't know it, I would never guess it was a drum machine. Sounds like you've made really effective use of the velocities and such; I particularly like the snare fill thing just after the guitar break! Fab :) It sounds really natural. There were some bits with the ride that sounded very keen as well. Would you be willing to make the dbsong available? I'd love to see how the track was done :) (I also like the little one-or-two note guitar groove that intros the main solo, but that's naught to do with the drums :)

How's the Tascam USB interface workin' for you? I've been thinking I could use a proper audio interface for my iBook, but had been thinking of going Firewire, maybe the MAudio Firewire Solo or something relatively cheap and cheerful .... Cheers, Carl -- Carl Edlund Anderson http://www.carlaz.com/
Carl, As requested, the dbsong file is available for viewing here http://www.webpages.charter.net/mcarlyle/comealive.dbsong Your comment about the drums sounding "real" is the best compliment I could possibly get. My entire approach to programming centers on natural sounding drumming that feels human. On Mar 14, 2005, at 7:04 AM, Carl Edlund Anderson wrote:

Excellent - i wish my vocals sounded as good. DB notes. The slight changes in tempo really make a huge difference to the feel of the track I completed a track a while ago and when I was playing the guitar part over the drum track I felt myself trying to go faster in the chorus, but of course DB kept the beat. I'm going to re-do it and see if it sounds better. Time to throw out the part of the manual that states "good" drummers are rock steady Cheers On 14/03/2005, at 4:45 AM, Mike Carlyle wrote:

Out of (further) curiosity, you mentioned previously that you've used both Cubase and Deck -- with which did you record "Come Alive"? Cheers, Carl -- Carl Edlund Anderson http://www.carlaz.com/
Deck has been ousted by Cubase LE, which came with my US-122. I had used it before, but only as a guest in other environments. I've never had it for my very own before. I like it. Specifically, I like the 24 bit capability, which Deck does have. There are other things I like about Cubase. It's just more feature packed and flexible. Some say it's a steep learning curve to go from Deck to Cubase, but it's not all that different. Just don't be afraid to poke around the menus to see what you can do. Come Alive was recorded with Cubase at 24 bit. The version I posted is "pre master". I don't really know how to master, but I am aware of the concept. I plan to investigate Cubase's mastering tools someday. On Mar 18, 2005, at 6:17 AM, Carl Edlund Anderson wrote:
