  1. I use to use Sonar and had been for quite a few years. Great program. I moved to Cubase this year as I wanted a app that I could use on a MAC and a PC. If you are solely a windows user Sonar is a great way to go. I am very happy with Cubase and actually prefer it a little more than Sonar in some regards. There are still things I miss in Sonar. You can't go wrong with either. This is a good shootout of top DAW's. It doesn't include reaper but has good information on many of the apps you will find in recording studios. http://www.digitalmusicdoctor.com/shootout/shootout_summary.htm?PHPSESSID=9a048fc484bed1d69f25a4d61b76af96 If you are purchasing think not only what you are doing today but what you might do in years to come. Think about what is important to you, MIDI editing, audio editing? A lot of things to consider.
  2. Videohere's question is kinda what I was thinking. I started voice lessons with someone who is a great singer in his own right but he didn't teach 'rock' techniques so I got bored and moved on. It took me a while to find the right coach. I think you need to think about what genre you want to sing and look for coaches from that realm. I am sure that other coaches can help but finding one that you relate to well will be a motivating factor for you. There are quite a few people on this board that are coaches. I am sure if you go through the past threads you gain knowledge on the coaches and some of the pedagogy's.
  3. Drew, check out the home page of The Vocalist Studio. Maybe you could get someone to get you the deal as a Christmas Present. http://www.thevocaliststudio.com/
  4. I'll second Mark's comments all around. I also study with Robert and after getting some basics down and adding twang I am very happy with where my singing is going. The interesting thing about twang is that you can calibrate it at different levels to get different tones. I did a weekend intensive with Robert a month or so ago and that was a big take away for me. We drilled into twang and as I learned the tilted position I could go get a sweet sound to a heavier sound. Think Steve Perry to Axl Rose with varying levels in between.
  5. How do you all set your levels? I am struggling with getting a good mix just while practicing. Once I think I got and I start to really use my voice I can't hear the music anymore, or I drown it out. So I turn up and then the room I am in is just very loud. I practice at home in my music room/office. What do you all set the levels to of your backing track and microphone compared to your voice?
  6. For someone who is starting to see all the pieces come together so he can sing I enjoy these threads. There are so many interesting aspects of singing that I never knew existed and hearing about other techniques and styles can only be a good thing. For me I have chosen a path that motivates me and is one that I feel will get me to where I want to be. Without motivation it doesn't matter what technique you use. I whole heatedly agree with Analog's statement: That helps with the motivation as well.
  7. Scream for me Long Beach! Maiden is my all time favorite band. The older I get the more I like them. I am working on becoming part of a come back one day. If Robert would just hold me to the fire more. :lol:
  8. Yeah, Robert screams at me all day at our lessons. I am one of his problem students. I'll tell you this. The techniques he teaches have not produced any problems with my voice. I had a previous stint with a vocal teacher and I never felt good after my lessons. After I have started to train the TVS way I don't feel any problems with my voice. Now, I don't sing all day long but I can definitely tell a difference if you have proper technique.
  9. It's not software but one thing that has helped me for training my ear is Musicians Institute Ear Training for the Contemporary Musician book. The book is chocked full of exercises. I am only part of the way into the book but I know my ear is getting better. I still have a ways to go but I can see progress.
  10. I guess we'll see how good you are at our next lesson. Course, I guess it all depends on how well I pay attention! I am intrigued by this as this just came up in the lesson I had yesterday.
  11. I guess I am missing what you are trying to get out of this thread. At first you ask the question if it can be done and then say it can be done but we have to be aware of the limitations? Sounds like you should have stated that at first if you already have the answer. You may not be able to reproduce everything exactly as it is seen or heard right now but the technology gets better all the time. Limitations are inherent with technology and there will always be something that can't be done. But pushing forward to the future is a better way to go than to stand still.
  12. I can attest to this as I am one of the 4-5 people. I was skeptical at first as to how good it was going to work as I know all too well what can happen over networks. I have designed and managed a private network of over 200 locations across the United States. The technology has advanced to the point where the limitations are less and less.
