Hey Roy...

I read the post below a few times (and maybe cause it's early morning) but I was a little confused about which vocal lines would have background unison vocals. I'd like to try a few things this weekend, and this idea of yours sounds very interesting...thanks again for your input...

Doc, great sound on that guitar/vox thing, the vox especially sounded great. I'm starting to get into some diy stuff and hope to build an 1176 clone in the next several months, I can't wait. Any and all gear purchases are going to have to wait for a new pc, though, I'm absolutely dying for an allenstein, I'm still running a 1.4 if you can believe that.

Anyway, that tune sounded great. I think when you are able to do the guitar and vox separately it will really shine, but it's nice to do them together. Anyway, you are really in the pro realm of things now, though, imo.

Looking at your site's gear section, I'm curious about your mic selection. How do you feel about the tlm-103 as your A mic? Do you find yourself pining for a soundelux or other condensors in that league? Just curious.

Also, are you on hd now, or going there in the future?

thanks.

BP,
not on HD yet. Maybe by next year, but no rel huge need for it, well.... I have a need, but not a demand yet. One day... As for the TLM-103. It is a good mic, use it on voice-overs a lot. I like it, but I hate it too. Sometimes it is too accurate and clean. That singer I just recorded TOM, sounds better on the RODE NTK, then the TLM-103. he actually hate the way it sounds. Great mic though. I think that I will get a Lawson L47MP or Telefunken one day. Just cannot see spending that cash on it yet. Can get by with what I have at least. Still want another pair of 421's. that 7 piece needs em. I can make do with the 2 small toms using the SM-57's though.

I always watch for old stuff too. One day I will get a vintage U-47, but the maintenance is a pain with that caliber mic. Still, I will land a few monsters. I may get a B.L.U.E. KIWI mic. I have a connection to get them at cost pretty much. They sound pretty damn nice too.

We shall see!

Thanks for the compliments. It should be a lot more focused once we really start to track with a click and all. This song has a nice natural feel though too, so I have to be careful. Too tight and it will sound a bit too produced. Clicks are good, but G-Love was cool by having a very natural feel too ya know. Not that we are heading that way, but again, clicks are nice at times, bad at others.

Thanks for listening...

GenerationM,
Sorry if I was unclear...I think we both have the same basic idea in mind anyway...repost it when you're done so I can hear it.
thanks, Roy

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

doc, you belong in GBA(Gear Buyers Anonymous).
how'd the time with Bastiaan go?

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

OK,
This is yet another song by a different client. Old, and first real paying client actually. He was blown away with the sound change! Pretty fired up. The drum track is NOT staying. It was used as a click in REASON and we just kept it for now. We will be adding real drums, bass, and some solo parts. Did this in 2 hours tonight, and the chain was this.... VERY COOL SURPRISE AT THE END TOO! - keep reading...

VOCALS - TLM-103 into the Vintech 1272 into the 1176 and then into the box

GUITARS - Numerous tracks with various strumming techniques. APEX 435's into the DigiPRE into the box

GUITAR was a SEAGULL Signature Series - SWEET!

Then after I got the rough mix on it, I mastered it, but.............

This is the SWEET PART! The TRIDENT MTA 80B came in the other day. Bastiaan and I messed with it some and then applied it on the MASTER fader. Well Bastiaan, got me fired up that night, so I then applied it tonight and man what a huge difference it makes in the overall aireness of the sound. Really makes it come alive

The Master fader chain was:

TRIDENT MTA 80B as a stereo channel strip - used the EQ and gain stage to eq.

Waves linear Multi-band EQ

L2

This thing (trident MTA 80B) is awesome and I really think that I will start to use it more once the new setup is all finalized..

So.... with that! Enjoy the rough and NOT YET finished song....
