bigstarletyahoo.com Posted January 6, 2001 Share Posted January 6, 2001 Howdy! My name is Helen, aka Shaky Tee. I'm a singer/songwriter/MIDI fanatic who occasionally dabbles on guitar. Steve Sklar was nice enough to point me, and others, to this forum. I live in San Francisco in a TINY apartment with my husband and two cats. I've been singing and writing songs for most of my life. I was never much of a four track person. My first attempts to record were as a teenager, and all of my overdubs sounded like I was singing in the middle of an airport runway. I FINALLY got into the digital recording end of it last year, when I discovered I could actually do some recording out of my computer. This was the start of a long and sometimes arduous journey of recording, engineering (and I use that word loosely) and mixing my music. I do everything (and I mean EVERYTHING) out of a Compaq Presario 7814 with a 500 Mhz processor, in which I installed my Soundblaster Live card. I use Band-In-The Box, Cakewalk Home Studio, Powertracks Pro Audio, Soundfonts, N-Tracks Multitrack Recorder with a LOT of plugins, Cool Edit 2000, an Oktava MK-319 condenser mic, a Behringer 802A mixer, a Roland EM-10 keyboard/midi controller, a Yamaha acoustic guitar, and...hmm...I think that's about it...for now. I don't have a lot of room, and I don't have a lot of cash, so my upgrades have been sparing at best (mostly software downloads, purchases, etc.). I'm looking to add a few more goodies to my collection, but, given my space and budget, I have to keep it small, and as a result, I have to make the most of what I've got. While I think I've done reasonably well, given the equipment that i have, I can ALWAYS stand some improvement, which is why I'm glad I found this forum. I've already gotten some ideas on what to do. Oh, I also do a weekly internet radio show on Artistlaunch.com called Divas and Dames, showcasing women's music on the internet. Anyway, I hope to share whatever extremely limited amount of knowledge I have regarding digital recording, and vice versa. Thanks all for putting up with me.

Tedster Posted January 6, 2001 Share Posted January 6, 2001 Hello and welcome, Helen, aka Shaky Tee... That sounds like a hip-hop handle. If I were a hip-hop dude, I'd be borrowing my handle from a Little Caesar's box for the Wednesday special...

bigstarletyahoo.com Posted January 6, 2001 Author Share Posted January 6, 2001 Dansouth: Howdy! Well, I am sorry to disappoint you, but, er, no. http://www.musicplayer.com/ubb/smile.gif It'd be an honor, tho'. Tedster: Yep, it does sound like a hip-hop handle, tho' I don't really do all that much hip-hop! I haven't been in a Little Cesear's in a LONG time!!! I used to live near one in Daly City. Ahhh...the memories... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lbjmusic Posted March 19, 2001 Share Posted March 19, 2001 Steve, The project is in the mastering studio now. I handed it over and said: OK...make me sound like the Bon Jovi "Slippery When Wet" album. Honestly, I'm curious as hell to hear the end result. http://www.musicplayer.com/ubb/smile.gif Robert Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
