Shame on me.
Studio shit is insane, what did you record on, give me some numbers here 88.

Okay bye.

(Its all about the bitches)
When you upload the album, could you recomend some stand out tracks? I have a small download limit and I'm on 56k, so I can't get the whole album at once.
You refering to the equipment we recorded on? I hope so, because Thats what I'm gonna talk about.Quote:

The engineer has a 24 track Mackie board running into three Adats. I can't remember the brand.
The bass was run direct and split into two seperate channels one for mainly highs, and one for lows.
The guitars were recorded with SM58 mics. (Dirty!)
I didn't pay attention when he was setting up the drums, but they sounded good, so whatever.
I dont remember what the vocal mic was either. It was almost completly covered in 4 inches of foam because I have louder than average P's and B's.
The one thing I wish he had that he didn't is a De-esser. The vocals are sylibant as a mother fucker, I know its fixable with EQ and all, but thats just gonna take more time. Time = Money.
I've gotten studio quatity recordings on a 16bit dat machine using this set up...
One sm57a mic for the bass drum, two suspended sm58's hanging as high as you can get them, and one condenser mic on the high hat.
Drums are always a pain in the ass.
and not for anything I always line in the guitar (even if I am not privy to a mixer. Why? Because if the band is playing, I can fix the trim in real time. Its cool that he open miked it I guess, but the man had no reason, unless you gave him one, to open mike that session.
Vocals of course I always tackle last, using either the sm57a for a raw sound, or the aformentioned condenser mic, for a clean non reverbing sound.
Anyway thats a rocking 88mph, though if that had been me, the mixer and I would have had words.
A big part of the sound of punk rock guitars comes from the speakers, the feedback, and the room. (nope... not a punk band, but I've been in so many punk bands that I'm hooked on the guitar sound)Quote:

If he had told me he was running me direct I would have punched him. :)
I agree 100% that recording guitars direct has its place, but I think when you hear the CD you'll see why we did what we did.
Its not a full album. Not even an EP.Quote:

Its gonna be either four or five songs (depending on what happens this saturday).
You should be fine. :)
ah, ok then.
ROCK ON!!
OK its done... I am not happy with it at all, but its done.
edit: songs removed due to stupid faggots.
Downloaded Burn and J-Slash,
Took me a minute to get used to the vocals, but I dig em. Burn is probably my fav of those two, still need to download Walking Backwards though.
Well... thats a girl on bkg vocals, the band is called 88mph, I agree 100% that the vocal blend in walking backwards is shitty. Jason is the guy singing the main part in burn... I'm the shitty sounding one that does walking backwards verses. :)
The production overall came out really really weak, and I'm really not happy with it at all.
I suppose its alright for a demo, and will probably get us more shows, although as far as I am concerned thats about all its worth.
Burn reminds me of a band called "millincolin". I haven't got the rest yet, but will post full opinions when I do.
