Somebody give those guys a contract!

I couldn't agree more!

commenting on the songs at mp3.com OSLP in particular.. Supergirl


Please don't take this the wrong way.... but the mix/production needs help. It's fine for the typical band/song and gets the message across fine.... but IMNSHO this tune is crying for shiny well balanced kick ahss drum slammin' puch me in the face with those cutting edge vocal arrangement type of treatment. I can hear so much wanting to break through. Sorry..... just when I hear tune/arrangement that makes me green with envy I can't help myself. Take it the next level, man, and gold is yours!

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

Mr. Seven I'm a little confused (and don't get me wrong i've read alot of your tips for ProTools users and completely respect your opinion) I'm just confused as to whether or not you're talking about OSLP's Supergirl? Or if you're talking about Skyline Fracture's (my brother's band) Come To Show) If it's about Supergirl then MAN DO I AGREE WITH YOU!! Believe it or not we recorded that song in '94... way before I had protools. So the mix is a little ragged... it will be remixed, and probably alot of it re-recorded, before we release it.

If you're talking about Come To Show... I'm gonna have to disagree.. i think that with a couple of minor tweaks and that song will sound incredible. (also my NSHO [img]images/icons/smile.gif[/img]) (also thanks Roy I always appreciate yo're opinion since you started this thead in the first place... ) Now for the bad news...

I'm having server problems so the Come To Show is no longer available for download. Hopefully i'll have a new link I can edit that post with soon. Thanks everyone... I knew I could count on you guys for some truely gourmet food for thought.

Chris, Here's what happened , I was reading all the good posts about your stuff and just clicked on the first mp3 link to your stuff...

After about half an hour of listening to all you tunes, I started reading up the list to find your original post. That's when I d/l "come to show" and it hit me that I may have commeted on the wrong songs.. [img]images/icons/blush.gif[/img] [img]images/icons/blush.gif[/img] .. And your absolutely right about it, a few minor tweaks here and there and your fine. Once I discovered my error I prefaced my reply with exactly which songs I was refering. By that time I knew I was probably diggin' myself a hole but I knew they were your tunes so I left the post as a compliment to the songs.

I was really wanting to know re: Come to show, what and how you got that guitar sound. I've been experimenting on trying to get that Linkin Park sound and your's is got the same tonality. If you can clue me in, I'll be greatful! .... and yes, the difference between the two mixes as well as the genres is night and day! BTW I hear some ELO (Jeff Lynn) in your tunes and I'm ready to send you my CC# to buy that CD when it's pressed. Love to hear it re-recorded rather than remixed if you can still get that vocal magic. Best of luck to ya!

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

haha.. cool.. Guitar sounds in Come to Show are fairly simple. Most of the rhythm guitar was a Les Paul I think we used my Paul.. one of the guitars could be a Hamer but we were having some intonation problems with it so I'm pretty sure we used the LP thru Mike's Peavy 5150 head and Marshall 4X12 (2 tracks one semi-clean and one very gritty) panned hard left and right. Mic'd with an SM57, nothing sounds better on guitars imo. Most of the guitars were compressed 6:1 w/ about a -7 threshold (or about 2 lights on the led glowing [img]images/icons/smile.gif[/img]) then throw in a Telecaster and a Ibanez Talsman (w/ all sorts of wishy washiness) for a little spice. Of course, I'm sure as most of you know.. the key to a good guitar sound is the guy plucking the strings.

chris, were you on the jelly-l? i was on for a couple of years up until 99 or so. your band name sounds familiar. or am i mixing that up with rocket transfer warehouse?

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

JON! Jellyfish?? Never heard of them! [img]images/icons/rolleyes.gif[/img] It's a small web after all... ya busted me. How've ya been brutha?!

Oh and Darren, I definately took what you said about Supergirl as a compliment (at least the green with envy part).. once my feeble little brain figured out what you were talking about! Love ELO... I bought the album Time when I was in high school (ooo, just dated myself). I've been a huge fan ever since. As for your credit card... keep it in your pocket for a while. We've been trying to finish this record for about 4 years now. After numerous hard drive crashes (I learned the back up your material lesson the hard way. We lost about 8 songs... gone... poof!) We're about halfway done with the record.. none of the MP3's on the mp3.com site are current. They're just there as teasers. I'm really proud of the new versions.. but we're keeping them locked in a vault until we're ready to conquer *cough* the world [img]images/icons/grin.gif[/img]

bookmark - www.outerspaceloveproject.com it's down right now because our server host just bought a new house and is in the process of moving but it should be up again soon. Alright, I'll shut up now.

Here's a love song. http://mp3.com/8mmOverdose

i have since re-mixed the song using less compression, but it takes too d@amn long for mp3.com to approve songs so i didnt re-load the new version to the site.

8mmRobb,
This one tugs on the heartstrings, doesn't it,??? I LOVE IT! I kid you not, though Metal isn't my forte, I admire anything that's done well. The bass line is so fine, man. The whole thing just CHUGS.... Good stuff, man. [img]images/icons/wink.gif[/img]
