check out "Stay" or "it's Alright" at the link below. They were both recorded using vegas and the drums were done with acid. Let me know what you think.

Thanks,

James

James! I listened to "stay". I like the dynamic arrangment of the song. Cool guitar hook/riff that backbones the song. I thought the vocals could use a little more presence in the mix but, that's just me. I like to listen to the lyrics of songs cause lyrics are the major reason I write myself. Lord knows I've got no chops or voice. Tou made the drum track in acid (using loops I assume) and recorded the rest as live audio tracks? If so, this is just what I've been up to. I've a problem with streaming audio at the moment(time to get a cable modem)but, I'll listen to the others shortly as, I liked the first taste of your writing and recording.
Thanks and cool song,
Theron

I listened to "it's alright" as well. The song has a nice pace. I thought the chorus could have been more pronounced (have a bigger punch to it in the flow). I really like your guitar hook/progressions. What exactly are you using for drums? With all respect and manners, I found the d track a tad droll in this song. Thanks for the link. I like your songwritting.
Theron

P.S. what are you dong as far a post-recording? Are you using compression, noise gate, ambient reverb or mixing and mastering everything dry and as it was recorded?

I'm a bit surprised. I thought more Vegas users would want to share their renditions. Last call for songs. I'd love to hear the user potential and talent.

great stuff!

theron3 wrote on 9/2/2001, 12:33 AM

RobSoul, thanks for the lead. You've a nice websight. I personally like the flash format. The samples were most impessive. If I could afford it and had the technologic resources, I'd have a service such as yours handle my audio needs. As it stands, I'll try to get more intamate with what I have at hand.

Thanks,Theron! If you need any help with anything audio let me know. I'd be happy to help you out - even if it's just giving you some pointers on how to best use what you already have.

Thanks for starting this topic theron3 ! This is the kind of stuff we need I think...just wish I had more stuff to post...

Here is an album by a great pop band done totally in Vegas here at my place..using tascam Da-x8's for converters, focusrite red pre's SSl pre's and the pre's from our lowly soundcraft ghost console. Some of the reverb on this was an aux sent to the bathroom then stereo miced :)

I listened to "fool". Simple and very clean. Solid mix as far as my ear could tell me. I would like to post a song to get some feedback. I've tried just emailingit but, 3.85mg is kinda big. How does one go about putting thier music up on a site like mp3.com? Is this the only place to go if you don't have your own website?

Lycos.com's free e-mail has a 4mb file size limit, very generous..

SonyEPM wrote on 9/4/2001, 9:18 AM

Maybe upload it to ACIDPlanet.com?

theron3 wrote on 9/5/2001, 12:41 AM

Taking David H sonic foundry's suggestion, I posted my first Vegas made song on acidplanet.com. I don't have the smarts yet to offer a stream but, if anyone can and will download the mp3 then please feel free to email thoughts, tips, bashes and techno garb. I can't even give a proper link. Go to acidplanet.com and look for Lee Davidson under new artist/rock. Wow! how green can I get!!!
It is my current goal to learn enough for myself to be able to help another dude. I've had nothing but good vibes and solid info from this forum.
Thanks,
Theron.

By the way:
Anyone starting to hear a familiar " Vegas Sound " ?

stakeoutstudios wrote on 9/6/2001, 5:51 AM

Yeah, I hear the 'Vegas' sound; but at least it's a million times better than the Cubase sound! LOL

Clients seem more than happy :o)

One of the artists I'm working with is named "Samuell" we're using SONAR & Vegas for everything...and all the synths are software based:

we're currently also working on a video using Vegas' Video facilities (so cool)
