  2. Originally posted by ProducerNate I have been recording since I was 17 (I'm 20 now). I started out at my high school auditorium, but now own my own gear. I rent out a room in a local practice space to use as a studio, and I share the space with two people (both have bands). The sample I have is with one of the bands, Karenin's Smile. The name of the song is "Marissa." I used the Oktava MC012s as drum overheads, 57 on snare, Beta 92 on kick. There are a lot of keyboards on the song, as well as several guitar tracks. The production on them was pretty standard - line in for keys and mostly a 57 on guitars. I want a general overview of the song, mainly in terms of production, but musical critique is fine, too. Listen especially the bridge, which comes in around 2:40. *I will warn you now, some people like the singer's voice, and some hate it* Current demo tracks listen as you please, I will post more songs here in the coming weeks Marissa I really liked this song and the vocals. Very Pavement-esque as someone else mentioned. I would say the production sounds right on except the drums sound a bit weak to me, erspecially in the bridge. Maybe the guitars were too loud in that part but it seemed to make the drums sound far away in the mix. I really dug it though.
  3. Originally posted by hethaerto4 I seriously think your guys should change your band name to :"The Human Tornado". That fits your sound so much better that "Cheap Sedated Hams". Great songs. Very original style, at least to my ears. The myspace media player is garbage. Any other place we can hear your songs? Hey Thanks, I didn't think anyone actually listened to any of the songs. Human Tornado is a Black 70's B-Movie with Dolemite so there would probably be some copyright infringements if we named it that. You can also listen to them at our website in my sig. Iwill give a listen to your songs but I have to do it at work and I must be quiet.
  4. Great thrad by the way. Here are 3 songs we have almost finished. Actually "Human tornado" was done yers ago and it is what it is at this point so no comments needed. The other two are almost done but are not coming out right. They aren't our best songs so we did these first before the other songs on the eventual album. Problem #1 is the "engineer" is a kid who doesn't know jack {censored} and is unreliable. So we are finishing the first 4 songs and then moving on to a different studio. My main complaint is that it is not capturing the true energy of the songs. I attribute this to the mix for the most part. Our goal is to make a decent album to sell at shows and whatever though I know we cannot afford a professional sonding album. i just want the emotions and essence of the song to be captured. Please listen and comment on anything you want. It will all be appreciated! Cheap Sedated Hams
  5. Originally posted by GCDEF That's pretty weird. I get approached by women every time we play. I'm not saying they're all hitting on me, but plenty of them want to come up and chat. I'm just an average looking middle aged guy. I do like to make eye contact and show appreciation when the girls are up there dancing though. You got to look like you're having fun. Perhaps you stare at your shoes with a frown on your face? My drummer has the same problem. He's a niced guy, decent looking, friendly, and the single guy in the band. For some reason I can't understand he can't get any tail at our shows to save his life and there's always something there for the pickings. If you're in a band and you can't get laid every once in a while, you're doing something pretty seriously wrong. Yeah I do look down when I play and don't attempt to make much eye contact. I figure if I concentrate on playing awesome it will pay off later but it never has. I guess I need to do some more wanking on stage. Most people at original places are lame and don't dance.
  6. Do you most of you guys play in cover bands? I don't know what the hell I do wrong but I have never ever had a girl come on to me, come up to me, even talk to me at a show. WTF am I doing wrong? I'd like to think that I'm a decent looking dude, 6'2" and in shape. I get more chicks when we aren't playing. It must be the music we play. Not girl/bar-whore friendly type of music. I think I scare them more than enchant them. You guys must be playing Bon Jovi and Blink-182 covers. I'll never forget this one gig we played where the singer for the horrible cover band before us had the balding-with-long-hair thing, was overweight, and wearing a FANNY-PACK! Well there was this smoking red head that was eyeing him up so I figured if she was into this wanker in the this excrutiatingly terrible band that she would be easy prey when my band went on. Well, after the show I tried shooting some attention her way backstage and she glided right past me towards the fanny-pack guy. Yeah, he left with her shortly after. That's when I realized I am doomed and just gave up trying.
