Travis Dickerson Recording Studio Forum

you guys are hilarious!!!  

hey thanks Chris  (I\'ve been away for awhile) .. ya drums would be really cool.. unfortunately it\'s not really \'in time\'  so we\'d probably have to redo it, actually maybe some hand drums would be cool - not a loop, just live percussion...hmmm   tx for the suggestion.  

I just uploaded a tune - I love the new \'uploading tool\' Travis!!  

here\'s the link:

It\'s a bit of a anti-war tune-  I\'d love to hear feedback.  Thanks!

Lis

way to go Chris!!  that must have been cool

Do you have art shows GKG?  

WOW!!!   that is so cool!   beautiful

wow - those are really cool Tristan!    best of luck with sales

Thanks OF!!   How the singing coming along??

wow - thanks GKG!!!    

 there\'s kind of a regaae version of it as well, but I like this slow serious one better.

A new tune we\'re working on - anti-war, anti-greed, pro-environment, pro-love     hope you like

hey old folkie

did you try out the Cds..? I"ve never heard the breathing one, only the Vocal Workout Cds which are good.  I\'d like to hear if you found them helpful or not.

sngwthme -  I have a couple other tunes up here - www.download.com/strawberryvale if you are interested in checking them out.   I\'m glad you liked the first one!!

take care all,
Lis

hi OF
Thanks so much! glad you liked it.... re; the \'group\' there really isn\'t one...I just write tunes and me and my hubby record them. That one actually we were able to record at a semi-pro studio in town cause I entered it in a song contest and won some studio time... so we hired a standup bass player and drummer, and I played guitar, and my husband did the piano/keys and backups, etc...  

We\'re trying to get a permanent band happening though and hope to do some live stuff around town soon!  :-)

hey Oldfolkie,

I uploaded a song on Travis\' server... let me know if you like :-)  It\'s a bit \'folky\' I think...   it wouldn\'t let me edit after, so it says "whatintheworld_sc" as the title, but it\'s actually called "Broken Like Mine".  

peace,
L

hey OF did you order a CD?? :)

re: the topic of \'hearing your own voice on tape and hating it" ..  keep in mind that most \'tapings\' like of a lesson etc are going to sound horrible no matter who the singer is...just because of the poor quality of the reproduction..   I bet if you had Eva or Sebastion singing into a little tape recorder it wouldn\'t sound all that hot (ok, maybe a bit better but...)   Seriously,  you really need GOOD gear to get a good reproduction of your voice.  The better quality gear, the more true the reproduction - that\'s what I believe anyways, then there\'s nothing getting in the way...  
e.g. we just got a 32 channel Soundcraft and we\'re amazed at the difference in sound from just comparing to our old Mackie 24, and also have been testing different mic-pre\'s and it\'s amazing the differences.  The solid-state ones seem to smooth the vocal out a bit (at least the ones we tried), and the tube ones give it a grittier, but maybe more \'real\' sound.  Personally I love reverb in my headphones when recording cause if I think the better I sound in my ear, the more I"ll be confident about my voice, get into the song, just relax and sing.
(all above comments are completely my opinion only..)

just watched a trailer on download.com for this new movie/documentary. Looks very interesting.  It\'s probably on the website as well - www.whywefight.com
