x,

I really like the sound on this tune! Could I ask how you tracked the drums and if you used any outboard gear, compression, preamps, etc.. (acoustic drums or electronic)? Could use a few tips here.. thx

Thanks, Roy. I hear you!

Panning with 2 guitarists has always been a funny issue with me. I've always tried to emulate our stage setup and have always likes the sound of the two hard-panned guitars trading off. It's kind of a genre thing too. Sounds a lot more natural through speakers than phones.

Thanks!

Thanks Hydrafonic! For the drums I recorded into a Digimax LT lightpiped to the 001 - I used all 8 inputs on the Digimax (8 mics). No other outboard gear was used. The drums are pretty dry too, just a bit of Waves compression and reverb. The Digimax is the best piece of gear I've purchased next to the 001/002r. Hope this helps,

Got something i just recorded. any tips or advice would be greatly appreciated!

http://www.northernlightssoftware.co...untitled14.mp3

the beginning part, is coming straight from another song into it, so it has a split second of other music, which is how i wanted it to be

i also just noticed that i need to bring it up a few decibels too...


thanks for listening!

also, i recently recorded a metal band, and they wanted some melancholy piano tracks, but since none of them knew how to play other than their respective instruments , i went ahead and did it. its fairly simple, but be forewarned, it brings to my mind the end of a very sad movie....hehe.

gazblake. That first song: jam can? is that the joy division on drums and bass? whatever it is, i like it lots.

da BaSsTaRd, that song(angelina) is great! i love the mix of everything, it flows really well i think, and my hats off to Roy! those guitars sound soooooo good. im having this song on constant repeat...i like it ALOT. great job!

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

Craiz- Vocals sound really good but they should be a lot louder. Recording sounds fine but the music is weak. There's nothing going on in the background. You should know tho rap isn't what I listen to. So what do I know?? Having said that I do like the way vocals sound.

nightshadecrisis-I like the song. It is nice, but it's hard to tell the quality of the recording since it was converted at 96kbits. Try 160-192 kbits @ 44khz. Only thing I would do different is at 2:07 minutes into the song (where it gets heavy) when everything stops and there's this guitar melody- I would turn it up louder. That's all.

Hey Evan,
I like the guitars on 'untitled', though I would turn the solo parts up some. And I love the mood on 'piano'...very spooky yet serene...very meditative piece. I enjoyed listening...
Again, I appreciate your fine violin on 'Fa's Garden'.
thanks, Roy

no reason at all on that one. the drums are loops, and there's also a loop that i lifted from vinyl a couple of years ago (which explains the scritchy scratchy noise in the back). the horns were recorded live in PA by HammondX from www.globetraxters.com . that place is great. i highly recommend it to anyone that wants to collaborate. can you believe its totally free?!?!?!?!
