John Denver

Just recorded a clip featuring my F50. The song is called "False Positive"...it was done by my band Bury You. There is two electronic drum tracks, one guitar track, and two vocal tracks. The F50 is recorded on contour channel with no effects. I love the beefy sound this amp puts out....it destroys worlds. I know the vocal takes are kind of weak, and the mix needs work.....but we recorded this in about 2 hours with no re-takes. Just wanted to get the idea down. Any comments would be appreciated. Bury You ----- False Positive

Originally posted by dan_nazarian hey John Denver .. I checked out your songs. I think they're pretty kick-ass. Thanks man....we are still going to redo all the recordings....these were just done really fast to keep track of ideas. I am hoping to pick up some tips by browsing these forums to make an acceptable demo. If you got anything......i'd like to take a listen....being kind of a noob at recording, i can only offer non-technical advice, but i can tell you what i hear.

Originally posted by GuitarPLayer61990 Hey man, you've got some real nice stuff Some suggestions- The drums are pretty quiet, turn those up and give the kick a low end boost like 60-80hz. The guitars I'd pan a little more to the right for a wider image. And make the vocals a little louder, the guitars seem louder than the vox. Those should make it sound quite a bit better, give it a shot and post a remix! Thanks for the critique/compliment! I agree with all that you said....i'm going to be doing some remixes this weekend and i'll post it up next week.

No problem man. I just really like how it sounds like the songs own their own unique space......without being forced or over produced. I have been attempting to record for about 7 months now....i really just enjoy doing it...i don't try to make stuff sound perfect....most songs done in one day from start to finish. Mainly i just want records of what me and my friend write. I play guitar and my friend sings and plays the drum machine......he has a kit, but i didn't even want to touch that realm of recording. We used to have a full band, but decided to trim the fat....aka....a bass player who couldn't turn on his tuner... We have: Boss Dr Rhythm drum machine Les Paul Studio Ovation Celebrity Acoustic Crate G-600 amp head (yes it does exist) KMD 4x10 cab (may or may not exist, but i got it for 50 bucks) Behringer UB1202 Mixer (mic pres) Shure SM58 vocal mic (also for guitars) Tascam DP01FX 8-track Some crappy freeware that converts wavs to mp3's Pretty much the bare essentials(HA HA).....minus a bunch i need.... Bury You The band is "Bury You".....newest song is "I feel it coming now"

The*Ataris That sounds really good. Your band reminds me of a cross between Kings of Leon, Strokes, and Longwave....just what i thought. I really like the way you record your stuff.....it's very bare, but not flat or static sounding. Very nice balance in my opinion......no need to add too much when the music carries it nicely.

GuitarPLayer61990 Not bad. I think the guitars sound really good in this mix. Piano sits nicely underneath and gives a big boost. The drums sound a little erratic in this song.....i'm not sure if it is even a mixing issue....though they could be blended a little better....snare sounds good with toms.....i just think the bass drum sounds very flat and dead. I know that is tricky to do, so overall, i think it is very nice....better than what i could do!
