Now that right there, is some funny sheit. :ROFLMAO::LOL: At least someone threw her a token vote. Oops! That was not intended to be racist.....

Reaper comes with a plugin called "ReaTune" that works pretty good if you don't need to do any major editing. I used it for a while before I bought Melodyne.

Max out the ram. I went from 16 to 32 in my Dell, and it made a big difference.

You just have to find your vocal niche Lazer. A few weeks ago, someone posted a cover of You Wear It Well by Rod Stewart that needed a vocal. I think you might do OK on that.

I like it, I kept waiting for the vocals.

Me too. I got one of the super cheap (free) Rogue guitars Guitar Center was giving away when you bought a 12 pack of D'addario strings, and much to my surprise, it sounds really good! I have a couple of Guild D-25's and I really like the way they sound, but the Rogue was a pleasant surprise.

Does it have a compensated bridge? I have a D'Angelico that had a piezo transducer under a compensated bridge and Am always sounded weird. Like it was out of tune, but the individual notes were in tune. I couldn't figure it out. I finally removed the transducer and installed a straight bridge...

Use gasoline on the tacky rubber. Soak a shop rag and wipe the sticky rubber off. Once the sticky feeling is gone, wipe off the gasoline residue with 99% alcohol.

Be happy you don't resemble someone who's picture is in the post office (wanted by [insert three letter agency here] in the USA). I always thought drunken women were the best, just sayin'.

I use D'Addario phosphor bronze EJ16 on my acoustics, and have for many years. They last a long time (probably because I'm too lazy to change them). After they have been played a few months the tone doesn't seem to change much anymore. I change them when they start looking bad.

I'm going to leave this right here...

I think the new mix sounds good.

I like it. I had the strange feeling I'd heard it before...

That was pretty good. Needs more alcohol.....

+1 for installing an SSD. It's the best bang for the buck to speed up a machine.
