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.
