Members Sinner6 Posted April 21, 2004 Members Share Posted April 21, 2004 Sweet. One thing I have noticed about all your stuff is your very crisp production. The tune itself has a great "fear and loathing" drugged out western vibe. Great sounds, and catchy lyrics. What are you using for the guitar? Sounds like a guitar! Great job!

Members zone_ahead Posted April 21, 2004 Members Share Posted April 21, 2004 It's nice to hear people using vocals in their tracks. i like the glitchy drum fills that are just audible in the background. vocals and guitar are distinctively "indie". It's an interesting mix w/ the programmed beats in the background. Nice man. oh, and the synthesized truck engine turning over at the beginning is a nice touch.

Members Neole Posted April 21, 2004 Members Share Posted April 21, 2004 Sounds great! The grungy sound really gives it a highway trucker feel. For some crits - I would have preferred more bass on the vocals, and them mixed a bit louder. I would also have liked a shift to a higher key for the repeat lines for more impact. But it sounds really good as it is, good job! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members the otter Posted April 21, 2004 Members Share Posted April 21, 2004 Nice. Not only did you post a song with vocals you said "thingy"... perhaps we were seperated at birth? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members the_resonator Posted April 21, 2004 Members Share Posted April 21, 2004 bad ass.ba-a-ad ass.you, sir, are pretty god damn cool.sounds like a more eletronic version of Deadbolt, maybe one of the coolest bands ever, i think. If you live in Europe they are touring june/july (http://downinthelab.com/)anyways.. got a few questions, if you don't mind: how didja mic the guitar?what didja use for drums and how didja sequence them?what didja use to gain/distort it all?

Members D'Traveler Posted April 21, 2004 Members Share Posted April 21, 2004 Eeeeexxxcellent! Yep, that's a keeper! I've got this picture in my mind of some strung out, wild-eyed head blazin' down the road in the wee hours of the morning, in this obnoxiously lit, radio blasting big rig, like something out of a twisted Tarantino flick. Great work! I just did me a belly flop into the kiddie pool and now there ain't n'more water. I done splashed it all out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Boom Posted April 21, 2004 Author Members Share Posted April 21, 2004 Thanks for the positive comments! I miked the guitar with an MXL 603 condenser, it's a dirt cheap Korean mic, but it's pretty good. I then used Amplitube to add a little distortion and chorus. The tremelo effect is the one built in Logic Audio. I agree about the vocals, but I had to mask them because theyre not very good. I havent recorded any vocals in over a year, my music is 99% instrumental. The drum loops were done in Reason, the main beat was programmed in Redrum, and the breakbeat sounding thing is one of the factory loops with some tweaking.

Members clusterchord Posted April 22, 2004 Members Share Posted April 22, 2004 great job. i like everything about it. Lyrics, vocals that evoke some 80s alternative stuff (like tuxedomoon and joy division), drum programming, the whole vibe. Especially the contrast between vocal/drum part vs. instrumental part with that nostalgic e piano is so great. it lasts 4 min, and still sounds over too soon. I'd wish for some more instrumental chaotic stuff coming in towards the end, some overdriven el. guitar perhaps, plus synths going to fade-out... only thing i didnt like was the intro, that sound doesnt belong to this song imho. something more trashy is needed, a processed sample of a truck or something, to lead into that killer beat. thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought about taking that out, but I never tried to synthesize an engine revving before so I'm a little proud of it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
