awesome! phew......fo´ real, i liked the panning effect with the synth/keys.......how did you do it? sounds killer!

I started to think that maybe the vocals needed to be a little brighter, but then again they do sound nice and warm the way they are,,,,,


speaking of panning, nice job Roy! Lovers actually made me tickle, that MUST be good!
very nice

tcnort/Travis,
I just listened to your stuff, and man, it's refreshing. It's not super-slick production stuff, but you sure do make honesty sound great. I certainly prefer it to a one-key drum loop 'song'.

Deep Pitt is right, 'Hey Yeah' is killer, but I like 'Brain Magic' myself. Exceptional songwriting man. Made me want to sit in with you guys... (If you need any guitars or slide, let me know ...).

You asked me about 'Lovers'. For one thing, I played what would normally be one 16-bar Strat part as 4 separate 4-bar parts, and panned each separately. Nice effect. But, I also created a bunch of Strat samples using different harmonics and things, and used them in the background. Thank you for your complement, too.

Roy,

I just listened to "Lovers". What a fabulously full, lush sound! Your playing is great, as always. The sampled Strat approach is very unique.

Jorge -
The panning effect on the synths was done this way -
I took the original synth and audiosuited on a new track a nasty chorus/phaser. I probably created it with the digirack delay, as they are great! Anyway, the effect had real wide depth and a medium rate. Like a real chorusy out of tune up and down sound. I then put a delay on it with medium feedback, to kind of smooth it all out. I then barely mixed it in, with the original keys panned dead center and automation -panned the effected one all around. Just made one pass with autotouch and the mouse! The thought of doing this came to me because the original keys part just stopped dead and it annoyed me, the sudden change. I just wanted to smooth it out. For those of you who don't know what I'm talking about, go to
Genomefactor and check out the song. The part I'm talking about is the second verse.

Oh, by the way the drums are 4 mics in a garage. I Just used 1 tom, 1 cymbal, kick, snare, ride and hats. Rooms were SM57's with an oktava 012 on the snare and an SM81 on the kick. How's that for experimenting? Came out sounding pretty good if you ask me.
