you could also try multi-tracking the vocal. if you do three tracks of a lead vocal, it smooths out the difference between doubled vocals and makes it sound unified, and if you feel self-conscious because you feel like your voice is weak this can bulk it up.
my ordered and payed timeline is not available - it was listed "in stock" when i checked out. So they have my money and when do i get one? In three months!??
Ever read someone's review of a book, or movie, or whatever, and it is so blatantly apparent that they perhaps read the summary, or maybe just the introduction, and that's it?
Drives me nuts. (I'm currently reading 1 star reviews of books on Amazon)
A while back one of my friends asked me to recommend him some music based on what he liked. So I sent him a song by a band I thought he'd be into. Later he tells me he didn't like it for some reason or other. I forget exactly what it was. I do remember though, that his reason for not liking the song was only present in the first 30 seconds of the 8 minute long song. Clearly hadn't even bothered to listen past the intro. What the hell.

There is a beautiful Am Std P Bass on the Local CL. Black Body,....Maple Neck/Fingerboard; overwound Fralin PUPs $750,...the wife says no.
Probably for the best,...I've got to get my guitar setup for 1.5 steps down plus drop tuning, have it rewired and potentially a new nut carved (I'm assuming it's a plastic nut)...and I need to get my 5 string bass setup for .158 CKS strings (Gonna have a new nut carved to accomodate the wider gauge). So including strings and the work done I'm looking at dropping $3hundo on getting my gear up to par
I am recovering from the pancreatitis I developed from surgery in february and last week my blood work showed that its finally almost back to normal. So today I get bloodwork and it's getting bad again.
aw, man, i feel for you. i had a lot of health problems when i was a kid, and so when my body fucks up on me it totally reduces me to the emotional level of a terrified child.

I just popped myself in the teeth with the springy part of a solder sucker. My teeth are really vulnerable to disaster so anything like that kinda freaks me out.

Yeah, I read first part of that as "I just pooped myself in the teeth."
I don't like how my hair looks. My last haircut sucked. I want to do something jarring with it, but I don't know what.

a check that i'd written my therapist weeks ago just dropped, and now i'm going to have to sell CDs to the record store so i can make the (massively reduced for unemployment reasons) house payment because i'm $10 short. not to mention flat broke for the next week.
