    I enjoyed this performance more than half the stuff people contribute on this website.  Live performance has an edge that the bed room recording world can't match.  She has a wonderful voice, hope she continues with music.  Are you playing the piano?

    I'll convey the compliment - thanks! ...piano...unfortunately no...you tube backing track...

    I like her voice, great! I'm wondering why i never could sing :(

    Me too! ...some people just have the 'chops' ...but she works at it, so not taking it for granted.

    I got them for somewhere around that price on release, if I had my time over again I  would pass (huge Waves fan by the way). They do nothing for me, and don't really sound good except for possibly clean sounds IMO, didn't think much at all of the overdriven/distortion tones. YMMV

    I have revisited them a couple of times since purchase, but unfortunately my opinion never changed. Some have high praise for them though.

    I'm passing as I don't used high gain amps and sims...I'll stick with my S-Gear and IK sims for cleans and overdrive.

    Wow. Great voice. 

    How old is she?

    Hi Daryl - she's 15.

     

    Plays the Ukulele, writes her own songs, all her friends know the lyrics and can sing along. (hey...that rhymes!)

    What I'm realizing, is that social media, like Instagram, allows her to share her music with her peers and get instant feedback/validation.

    Also, in general, these kids  all listen to music on their phones, often through the speakers, so 'quality recordings' isn't part of the experience that they care about.  

    (BTW your music is great!)

    Not bad at all! I don't know how they do it. I would never had had the guts to sing in front of people in high school. (In grade school I did because I was still too young to be self conscious.)

    Will - whats funny is that she won't sing at home when I'm around or use my studio...but with her friends or 'On Stage ' different girl!

  6. ....wondering if there shouldn't be some Song sub-forums;

    'Show-off"  forum ....not looking for critique or feedback.....just validation.. love me! ...here's my web page, facebook  or you tube link! ..give me likes!🙂 ❤️

    "Help me'  forum.. .I clearly have no idea ... what are I doing wrong... basic ...obvious...novice issues ...most everyone can help here....timing, clipping, total mud....

    "intermediate experience' - got the basics but can't transcend to the 'next'level...song composition and arrangement seem OK, still some mud and no shine...I bought more plugins... nothing helps helps!

  7. I liked the sentiment...drank the cool aid...signed up and watched the (free) WEBINAR for "5 Recording & Mixing Hacks to Create a Radio-Worthy Song". 

    Didn't expect much and no surprise!

    Basic Recording 101 content, with the sales pitch to buy $400 of 'courses"

    The 'raw' tracks presented seemed Radio-Worthy as is and the webinar added a touch of verb and compression to "shine 'em up"

    Normally, with webinars, the comment fields are live and everyone can see the comments and activity...no so here....I though this was odd....

    I'm not faulting the business model......good luck.....just not buying.

    Many thanks to the contributors on this forum and other forums in providing their experience and contributing their time to help their fellow musicians!  

    Seriously, interested in some comments from you guys on these business models and promo sites.

    Play better?

    Write better?

    Record better?

    "secrets"?

    Lesson learned.... I'll keep checking in here.

     

     

     

     

  8. Just sharing .......and  perhaps many of you can relate to this....I've been an armature musician for 40yrs (and with Cakewalk form very early).  My daughter recently participated in her local High School "Idol" contest.  I'm encouraged by all these young artists performing in front of their peers.
