I just now found this thread. Way to go @Wim VD1!!!!! Your guitar journey has reach a milestone. Let the fun begin for your next milestone. Congratulations!! Danny

@NeilES335 This is an excellent idea! This site continues to amaze me. Great leadership and great members, this is hands down the greatest web site for guitar learning and support. Danny

Excellent job Neil, Keep'em coming. I really enjoyed that! Danny

Way to go Doug, you are coming along really well. Great Job Danny

Thank you Randy .There is a lot to learn about recording and mixing. Danny

@IanD@Nutty 1 Thank you for ya'lls kind words. I think the mixing is harder than the actual playing,lol! I was singing backup vocals. The one singing was my old band member, he has since moved away. Danny

@Wim VD1 That was excellent. Well played my friend. I love playing the blues too, i wish more people here would want to hear a blues band. Danny

@Wim VD1 Thank you Wim, nice to hear from you as well. We dissolved the band and had to cancel a gig, it was very disappointing. But I found a new singer and rythm player that has some original songs and I'm going to try to get some recordings down and see what we can do. Danny

hello everyone! been trying more recordings and trying cleaning them up, and add additional background tracks. sorry for the bad words at the end! since my bad band dismember, however I am getting a new band started, I've been trying harder to learn how to record. Dang this is a lot to learn< help needed> input needed desperately! Danny

@WATSON43 That was an awesome job!!!! I really enjoyed listening. Danny

Happy Birthday @Steve Krenz Have great day! Danny

@Wim VD Well done!! that was awesome! I really like that song. Danny

Thank you all for your comments. I think I have them convinced that we are struggling not only to hear our playing but everyone else. My drummer is on board and promised to tone it down as well(wait, a drummer said he would tone it down?!! lol). I think doing an unplugged gig the other day help. We could hear and no one got lost, and we sounded good. Danny

Hello everyone. This is for all you guys and gals playing in band. I've called this post the battle of the amps because of the last gig we played yesterday for a benefit memorial celebration with the proceeds going to a scholarship program for victims of drunk driving. Anyway, this has been a ongoing thing for awhile, the other two guitarist/singers fight to hear themselves so they keep turning the amp up tell the thing starts to distort. Which in turn my lead gets totally drowned out (with my volume pedal at full) by about the last half of our songs, so which i have to compensate myself. But of course my amp at a quarter volume would blow the roof apart and totally drown them out, but i choose not to fight this battle because you can see in the look on peoples faces their ears are about to explode from the other two playing rhythm sound loud. i have politely ask them to set the volume and leave it alone but to my avail it never happens. So yesterday to prove a point i refused to turn up my amp so i could take a lead and was given evil looks because they couldn't hear me. Wait, Let me back up a little. I tried to stop this by talking them into letting me run everyone through my PA system which solved it for the house the week before but they were not satisfied, even though i turned their monitors up so they were the one "shinning". They insisted that the room was to small to need one for this gig yesterday. so, here we go again battle of the amps....argh!! I just sat there and smiled. i know this wrong but i just refused to play that game. Everyone started listen to us inside and when the battle of the amps began they slowly moved outside one by one. The drummer asked what happened and i just blurted out "They were too loud". I'm sure I'll catch heat for this one but i was right. should have been more subtle but i just couldn't hold it in. Has anyone dealt with this before and how did they handle it? Danny

Thank you @IanD That's fun little song to play. However it gives your hand a work out sliding back and forth. Danny

very nice @CapM I am very interested with your mixing methods. What daw do you use? danny

@matonanjin I'm with @Steve Krenz, If you know it just listen and feel the players, a lot of lead players will guide you to the next change. It took me a bit to get used to playing with different people. good luck, Danny

Thank you for your kind words @matonanjin @WATSON43 Watson43, i would love to take credit for the vocals but that was my buddy Joe. He is the singer of our band. Danny

Thank you, @Wim VD, and @Nutty1 @UncleHammy I used a line 6 for my guitar amp. I can play with the settings and try to get my Gibson to sound like a fender. It also has an octave setting so i can use my guitar as a bass. For the drums i just used a pad this time, i didn't feel like setting up the drum set for such a simple beat. My software i use is Studio one 3. As far as summer here in South Texas, it's hot. "It's hotter than a snakes a** in a wagon rut!" lol good thing i live on the banks of a nice cold clear running river. Danny

Sorry about that> it should be fixed now.

well folks, here is my entry for this month. this recording thing has got me consumed. I need to learn more. Any help would be greatly appreciated. name of the song is "Some Beach" hope you enjoy. Danny https://soundcloud.com/user-68395726-548056557/some-beach-1

excellent @Wim VD !! absolutely amazing! nothing but perfection. i think we need to start a recording thread on it own? maybe we can get @Fretless to help? just recording issue kind of things. Danny

@WATSON43 that was awesome! great recording, well played and sung. i wish i could sing, i try but usually it sounds like a cat screaming! lol ill put up my recording soon, waiting on my new eq system to try it out and lay a vox track. great job!

@Wim VD Way to go!! i wont be far behind you. I'm going to give 19 a little more time and move on soon. hopefully by the the end of summer. Danny

@Wim VD Very nice! well done wim. Danny
