Members Magpel Posted November 24, 2006 Members Share Posted November 24, 2006 Thanks, Ted, for the kind (and detailed!) observations. The mics we used on the acoustics are nothing special -- AKG C- 3000s. There's also some Studio Projects C-1 in there as a room mic, 'cause we recorded this in my big vaulted ceiling living room, so I thought I'd grab some of the air too. The guitars are pretty nice. Mine is a Larrivee L-05 and Chris's is a Martin D-15 that's really good for its modest price. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members doubleimp Posted November 25, 2006 Members Share Posted November 25, 2006 Its kinda cool listening to the lack of editing in the Sweet Clementine tracks. Here's my link http://www.myspace.com/crashdavisgrizzlysmacks the newest song versions are the first two Darker and The Organ Cells. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hey, cool stuff. great lyrics.Nice textural changes in the verses of Darker, esp. when it goes to the verse that's just a grinding guitar and a monosynth line. Clever. The Organ Cells is just a neat tune. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Evokes disco, but in a lush, ambient way. And when the bridge changes finally hit, they are rewarding.The thing I like is that there's nothing obscured about all the layers--they're all discrete. No fudginess.I'm interested in knowing what synths/ROMplers you're using. What, example, is doing the swell that is kind of the signature sound? And what's doing the little, delayed, moogy noodle lines after the bridge? Or more precisely after the explosion sound?Now somebody else better ocme in and start commenting or I'm going to start to seem like a self-declared thread moderator, when all I want to be is a voice in the choir...

Members Boffinry Posted December 2, 2006 Members Share Posted December 2, 2006 Hi Magpel, Thanks for the useful & reassuring feedback! :-)The signature pad I cooked up on a Roland XP-80, being fed through the stock Matrix Reverb AU plugin Apple ships with OS 10.4. Excellentreverb BTW, much better than the synthesized reverbs in Logic Pro 7 IMO.Everything was sequenced & mixed in LP7, using the standard plugins, with one exception being the strings which was Garritan Personal Orchestrafed through Lexicon MPX1 reverb (couldn't find the reverb I wanted in Space Designer). The Moogy noodles are Logic's EFM1 plugin via overdriveand phaser plugins.Have a great weekend Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members blackpig Posted December 3, 2006 Members Share Posted December 3, 2006 Good morrow. In my sig lies a link to a little piece of folksy stuff I recorded at home. It's a demo for a folk club I did a while back. Recorded on a Zoom MRS1266 with a Behringer B1 condenser mic and mixed on headphones. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As far as the recording and the mix, well, I'm not particularly particular, so don't ask me. I could hear it well enough to be moved. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's some sharp powerpop. I especially like the first two tracks.For me, evokes Smithereens, Teenage Fanclub a little.

Members jjbraunius Posted December 12, 2006 Members Share Posted December 12, 2006 Magpel - checkout Liverpool NY. and Roundabout. Great acoustic sound! The vocals work well together, needs a little more work vocally so things mesh better or it is just the recording. The fem. vox were cutting a little short on some of the phrases. Very good sound for such a low budget.Here comes my *metal* submission:www.DescentIntoMadness.com/media.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Magpel Posted December 12, 2006 Members Share Posted December 12, 2006 Originally posted by jjbraunius Here comes my *metal* submission:www.DescentIntoMadness.com/media.html That's some proficient, melodic metal! I'm not n expert on the genre (though I do really dig Mastodon, FWIW). I listend to a few of the May demos and watched one of the performance videos. I was really impressed with how well you guys are able to keep the woman's voice "on top" in your live sound, probably a tribute to her pipes as much as to your live rig.Good stuff. Look like a pretty serious band. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Flannery Posted December 21, 2006 Members Share Posted December 21, 2006 I have a ccouple of rough demo's here...just guitars and drum machine. I'm debating whether to pursue them farther. I think they have some potential, but then again I'm kinda biased I have quite a few ideas to work them up into more complex pieces, but the question is....is the frame good enough to hang a picture in? Any thoughts would be appreciated. You can check them out here... Songs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Triumph! What an epic! What's your role on it? Chief wailer or total auteur? I'm trying to figure if the drums are real or samples. I lean toward real, though it's the cymbals (always the cymbals) that make me wonder. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members jjbraunius Posted December 21, 2006 Members Share Posted December 21, 2006 Originally posted by IHateRap I'm always looking for advice: www.switchrocks.com/Songs/Triumph.mp3 Awesome guitar playing. Reminds me a bit of Marty's "Dragon Kiss" but with more taste. The drums after the piano brake had one sloppy transition, otherwise pretty good demo. You should try to get that to Shrapnel records.

Members thankyou Posted December 22, 2006 Members Share Posted December 22, 2006 I'm not really adept at moving stuff around, or exactly how long this link will work, but my song is called "Blue Fly". My bandmate's is "Castaway". The site uses their own MP3 player (I think), so sorry if that's a hassle. Hit the green arrow that says "Blue Fly".

All the guitars are real (except the opening acoustic, I didn't have the means to capture a good acoustic sound) and everything else is programmed.

I'm wondering if it's a "style" thing or if I botched something.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
