I recorded a song and I didnt use help. I played the Roland V-drums, a fender precision bass, and a martin 000-15sm. I am working at getting my setup ready for recording. It is about a minute long, a test song, I uploaded to sound cloud. Came out better than I expected. I uploaded the mp3 because i can never seem to get soundcloud to work right from here.

Your music is playing, filling the air I'm in a 10,000 dollar Tux--I look at the beautiful girl beside me, she is wooed instantly. I flash out the keys to my bentley and all of a sudden it feels like anything is possible. She looks at me and smiles, and then we both step out of the elevator to go to the concert.

it's pretty good but I assume you want constructive critisism.
sounds like the drum and guitar are sometime offbeat a little. the guitar a bit too loud in the mix and could use some compression or EQ, it's a bit hollow/too much room sound so maybe use a single dynamic mic and place it closer so it sound "warmer".

hope that help

Well, the first time I played drums was in July, so yeah, it probably is off. Guitar was just hard to make up and I was tired, and it was a first take. Also, I think the hollow sound is because I had a Chorus on it.
I'm going to do another one today, and use some enhanced studio skills to quantisize it. Probably going to do the guitar with an electric.
By the way, the mic I used was a Shure SM-81 condenser mic placed in the front. And yea, the mix really needs work, but like I said, it was a simple one take try it type deal.

Just for the Lols I hope, cause you can't really put the blame for the current state of things on his shoulders. This stuff has all been planned in advance, before he was even in office. Merely a puppet to his zionist masters.

No, that's ok. I'm trying to get my studio technique down so I need feedback. I have a lot of equipment and now I'm trying to put it together. Cubase 5 is a really potent tool for music production, but the harder part is playing the instruments myself. I just don't have a keyboard here, so any keyboard parts will probably be programmed.

a simple midi controller would do wonder, when a patch is set up to response to velocity and aftertouch it really give a natural expression to the sound and performance.
also room and acoustic treatment will have a big impact on tour live recording, my getho way of doing it was placing my mattress standing up behind the singer and hangin blanket where I couls and pillow in the corners, that give a deader sound room if that's what your looking for.

I have a Korg Triton 61 workstation back home in New Mexico but I don't have it here. Anyway I can do a lot with just guitars, but like you said a cheap midi controller would be nice. I have Reason also and Emulator X3 as soft-synths. Emulator X3 is actually a true sampler. And when you set it up right as a synth, it sounds great. Its available for free.

the triton is nice, I borrowed my friend's one and sampled and the drums 
I also have reason rewired as a slave to Live, do you think I can do the same thing with the X3?
