hey everyone, i just finished tracking and mixing a song with REAPER (and a buncha free VST plugins) and i thought i'd share with you guys here. i already posted it over at the homerecording.com forum, but i figure i'd post it here too for good measure.
half-way thru the mixing, i downloaded LOSER's VST plugin bundle, and hot damn, that Digital Versatile Compressor is awesome! i used it here and there, and it takes hardly any CPU resources. i also used the SPL limiter (among other things) on the master. great stuff. i think i'll be using the DVC a lot more on upcoming projects.
i've kinda always been embarrassed about my singing, so this is the first time i've ever let anyone i know hear me sing, or post my singing on the internet. my voice is pretty pitchy, so i drenched it with FX to try and cover it up, haha. anyway here's the link:

i tried to get a pretty good sound out of it, and spent more effort on the mixdown and what not than i did on actually making the song itself, haha. so hopefully it doesn't sound like a complete ripoff of a song that's already out there. i know my influences will probably be way obvious to anyone who hears this.
anyway, thanks for checking it out. i have a few more songs coming up hopefully real soon, so if you like this one, there's more where that came from. oh, and REAPER rocks my world.
