Re: Let\'s hear your latest stuff....right here
 

Hey

this is my first post here (in this thread that is)..

i have owned a mbox2 for about two weeks, and this is the first recording i did.. i actually started it just to try out pro-tools a little more than i have.. but i kind of like what it developed into.. so i figured i might just post it here..

very plain and simple (unfortunatley mu guitar hums pretty bad since i don't have my computer hooked up to a grounded wall outlet, but i'll live with that for more serious recordings)

also, i sold my event monitors for some dumb reason, so the sound might be totally off, feel free to let me know.

Re: Let\'s hear your latest stuff....right here
 

thanks!

yeah, mbox2.. why? does it sound bad? (i'm using logitech speakers at the moment, fairly good though, but not reference-good )

Re: Let\'s hear your latest stuff....right here
 

Hi Kenny

No sounding good across my monitors, what sort of mike did you use on your vocals, do you run a frontend? Did you do much effects processing with the vocals?




filosofem

Re: Let\'s hear your latest stuff....right here
 

hi,,

what do you mean by frontend? (not sure what you mean in this context.. english isn't my first language )

i'm not using any external processing before the mbox at all.. I just hook my Rode NT1 large membrane to the mbox and record.

after that i used only TrackS eq and compressor on the vocals. and then bussed some of it to a waves rverb (i think it is rverb, might be truverb also).

the guitar is lined staright into the mbox as well.. i use cole clark, the worlds best guitars.

That "Scally" track is really, really nice!! Great vibe man.

Re: Mac Mixes!!!!!!!!
 

this is my myspace page... these are rough and vocal-less... kind of cure/boards of canada/icelandic/scandinavian sort of thing. let me know what you think... unless of course if you dont like it.

Ummm... frontend is what you were saying about not using any external processors before the ADC.Yeah right ...the vocals are nice and soft sounding ...if you know what I mean.
Wow ...and you achieved those results with those plug-ins.

I'd like to hear one of your pieces when you are trying.

Hey Kenny just curious do you use a vocal booth?

Re: Let\'s hear your latest stuff....right here
 

haha.. are those plugs bad? or you mean i should use more? .. i have learned a lot of [bleep] through the years, but i still have a lot to learn regarding fx use and mixing.. but actually, just the switch from my m-audio with cubase to mbox2 with PT makes a huge difference in sound.. somehow..

and no, i use n o vocal booth.. this song i linked here is just the mike beside my computer..
there was a time when i used a vocal booth, but i have no place to set it up where i live now.. and it sounded like [bleep] anyway.. it's a couple of years ago though..

thanks for the comments.

Re: Let\'s hear your latest stuff....right here
 

Kenny
Well Tracks EQ is not the best, even in the standard LE pack. Did you use a preset with the Compressor?


...and less is more.





filosofem

Re: Let\'s hear your latest stuff....right here
 

oh.. i really like the tracks.. .. i'm not using the version that comes with the LE thouigh.. i have the full version.. and yeah, i usually start with a preset, then change it a little.. mostly because i'm not that great when it comes to fx processing.. but i'm learning

which plugs would you recommend? lets say money is not an issue..just for the fun of it

Re: Let\'s hear your latest stuff....right here

Nobody wants to comment my song?

Some hints about that mix?

Peace

Re: Let\'s hear your latest stuff....right here

Here are some common ones. There are lots around.
I think it comes down to taste, but you sort of have to know your taste.

Re: Let\'s hear your latest stuff....right here
 

Finnish-


Finnish...nice mix overall...good guitar sounds. All I would suggest is the lead vocal could be slightly brighter, IMO. The rest of the mix is fairly bright and crisp, and I think the lead vocal needs some eq tweakage (maybe as simple as pulling back some low end).
You say Yle says it needs to be 'remastered'. Has it been mastered the first time yet? If not, find a good ME and play him your current mix first(if possible)...then make adjustments per his advice.

Good song...good mix so far.....good luck.

Re: Congrats Roger, I just took the big Plunge too
 

Hi Wheeltard.....really nice song. All sorts of possibilities for coloring the production up(mandolins, late strings...whatever), even it you wanna keep it simple. I do suggest pulling up your vocal up during the verses(nice job on the vocal)...hard to catch the lyrics in places. It's fine in the choruses.

If you develop it further, post it again. Enjoyed the listen...


-Roy

Re: Overnight Lows
 

Joz: how's it going man? nice work on the new ONL's track! you guys releasing a record with all these tunes at any point man or just shopping and gigging in the mean time? hope everything is cool man.




Kenny: nice work on this for your first recording man! also nice voice on the track also. keep up the good work! peace

Re: Overnight Lows
 

btw... here is one that some of you whom know the story may enjoy atleast... This tune is about a friend that posts on the DUC that goes by the name of HoodBro.. the lyrics speak for themselves, but I threw this down in a couple hours a few weeks ago in his tribute... enjoy..

Re: Overnight Lows
 

It's going good over here. Yeah we just released a CD. Unfortunately the last 3 songs we've done arent there, but we are working on pressing a free sampler with 3 songs attached to the full CD.

Re: Overnight Lows
 

Oh, and we're also making a video for one of our songs. We are debating wich one. The director wants http://www.overnightlows.com/music/whatdoiwant.mp3 but we aren't so sure. we may want either http://www.overnightlows.com/music/thebreaks.mp3 or http://www.overnightlows.com/music/myohmy.mp3 because they sound more like first singles. The shooting starts in a couple weeks.

Re: Let\'s hear your latest stuff....right here
 

Here are a couple of songs that I did on my 002 (Untitled and Insomnis Reluctari). The first two were done on the 002 and the middle songs were done on a 4-track about 6 years ago. The last two were done on Reason. I was just goofing off trying to learn how to work it.

There are some great tunes on this thread! It's interesting to hear all of the different styles.

Re: Congrats Roger, I just took the big Plunge too
 

Roy,
Thanks for the feedback. I posted the lyrics up on Songramp and will be working on it some this weekend. This is one of those songs and arrangements that are deadly for me. Because my impulse is to add, add, add... and the feel of the song is just the opposite. And I don't do sparse very well. Okay, I don't do a lot musically very well. But where a deft touch is required, I really struggle. But thanks again for the listen.
Wheels

P.S. -- You wouldn't by any chance be offering up some mandolins for this would you? I'd be happy to send over some files

Re: Overnight Lows
 

Joz: awesome to hear man! congrats on the release! you guys going through indy distro or did you land a home for the record with a label?


For the vid, honestly I would vote for The Breaks tune for the first one man. I can see where the director would push for What Do I want first caus it is a little more up-tempo and has that power pop vibe in it, but The Breaks is better writing outta the two even though both would make a cool vid. man. For My Oh My, it has that Cranberries/No Doubt thing to it which in its own right isn't bad, but I'd save this one for a third single possibly man unless you're going for like a White Stripes type vid which might be interesting too... Goodluck with the shoot though man, and if you guys get out on the road let me know if you get up this way to MI. peace

Any Metalheads Here?
 

Can any of you guys point me in the direction of links to metal songs on this forum that were recorded with MBox 2?

- Aedryan

Re: Any Metalheads Here?
 

Aedryan: honestly I cannot provide any direction to metal tunes on here that I recall in specific. We've been through several thousand pages of posts and maybe some metal writers may be able to help you on this one. However, were you looking to check out how the Mbox2 pre's? Regardless of how a metal tune in here sounds on the Mbox2, there is a little more to the sound than just the Mbox honestly like mic placement, room acoustics..etc.. but if you are looking for tunes to just jam to and check out, then this is certainly the place. I can honestly say that there is a wide range of talent in here. Goodluck in your search. peace

Re: Congrats Roger, I just took the big Plunge too
 

Wheeltard-

Hi Wheel...
I can try something on it...maybe some mando or a few guit licks to color it up...... email me an mp3 of it with a countoff(just anything) to paste to my track so you can sync me up when I'm done. It sounds freeform(?), as in not to a click, so I just need the countoff for syncing up later. Hopefully I can try something pretty soon. ~Roy

Re: Overnight Lows
 

Joz.....great job on the goodbye song, as always...good song...great arrangement and mix. Good luck with your video shoot as well.

Re: Northern Irish Downbeat Hiphop!!
 

Hey RTPro,
Thanks for the comment....much appreciated. You know how it is when you just cant rate your own stuff anymore and need a second pair of ears!
Anyone else like to have a listen?
Cheers!

Re: Mac Mixes!!!!!!!!
 

This is me and my 002r. I play all the instruments. Drums, bass, and guitar. http://www.myspace.com/christophercollinsmusic

Re: Congrats Roger, I just took the big Plunge too
 

Roy,
No click track to this puppy. I am the world's worst when it comes to playing with a track and I have NO excuses. I'm (supposedly) a bass player after all . This is pure demo. However, I'm going to take another pass with a drummer this weekend (I'll let him deal with the click - I love independent cue mixes) and will have a count-off. When I lay down a little more of the sound bed (bass, accoustic, etc.) I'll forward your way. I'm assuming I can private e-mail you? Question though, I'd like to send it as high a res as possible -- even if it is only .mp3 -- what's the limit your inbox will take? 5 mges or less?

Anyway, probably will have something for you by Sunday. Thanks for the offer.

Re: Let\'s hear your latest stuff....right here
 

If you dont mind the heavier style of music you can listen to some of my work at http://www.chaosdivine.net/media.htm the song still bleeding was recorded using my mbox2. The only thing we didnt record was the drums which was done with cubase by Roland Lim.
