Re: Let\'s hear your latest stuff....right here
G'day Tim
I agree with both comments above. I think the main problem with the vocal volume is that there is a bit too much reverb on them. Rev can make vox sound louder than they are. The guitars could be thinned out a bit (EQ) and this will give them a bit more separation. Drums sound obviously canned when they go into the fast snare roll parts. Maybe lower the volume and up the rev at these points to blurr it a bit? Track has lots of potential. Good work. Frank Definately sounds like an opener to me. Nice clear clean mix. Mark |

My studio is just out of a little town called Fish Creek in southern Victoria. It's only a few minutes drive from Wilson's Promontory which is the southern-most part of mainland Australia. I look out the window in the studio and look over rolling green hills. Great place to make music. [img]images/icons/grin.gif[/img] Mark |

Re: Let\'s hear your latest stuff....right here
Roy, I know its a little late, but I just heard your tune with the Motorcycle Samples(I think its caleld Burn?). Cool tune man. Has a neat little industrial edge to it. Wonder what took me so long to hear it? I supposedly downloaded it 3 or more months ago according to my computer.

Re: Let\'s hear your latest stuff....right here
Metaltim - WitchQueen is cool. Sounds very Frank Zappa to me. (That's a compliment - I'm a big Zappa fan.) Definitely back off on the vocal level. Serious drum work!
Frank - I liked AM Jam. Good sense of melody on all the instrumentals. |

Re: Let\'s hear your latest stuff....right here
Hey thanks Soundsurfr...that AM thing really was put together at 2:00 A.M. that morning 'cause I couldn't sleep!
I really got into your Az Wam Talkinbowt...very kewl track. Especially liked your treatment on the "brass" track. |
Re: Let\'s hear your latest stuff....right here
Aussie169 had a listen to the "live" piece. I have to confess first listen was like what the....
but third listen I'm loving those horns and the wah guitar! Did you say it was a live take?? Is it improv or set piece? What did you use to capture the horns, what processing if any did you use on them? Sorry about so many questions? If you don't ask you'll never know. Cheers |
Re: Let\'s hear your latest stuff....right here
Sounds good, Greg... nice and lazy feel. Feels good to just do something different now and then, doesn't it? Good job... [img]images/icons/cool.gif[/img]

Re: Let\'s hear your latest stuff....right here
ROY,
Just downloaded Moonebeam Seduction. Cool tune. What kind of effect is that on the guitar? It almost sound like a wah pedal and talkbox mixed or something. I'm new to recording and like music similar to yours. What kind of recoding gear are you using? Oh yeah, was it you that played Sleepy Moon also? That ended up on my MP3 player and I listen to it in the car a lot. Cool guitar tunes. |
Re: Let\'s hear your latest stuff....right here
I'm rally digging this tune.

The sound I'm sure you mean is a Digitech RP2000 Guitar processor with a light flange/phase on it, and I'm using it with Digi001/5.3. 'Sleepy Moon' was the first thing I posted here. Thanks very much for the compliments. I really appreciate it. ~Roy |

Yep, that track, and the rest that go with it took a while to grow on me too. They are by an outfit called "Barron Von Zipper" from Melbourne. The main 'dude' is a mate of mine, calls himself "Pugsley Buzzard Wateringcan". He actually hails from Perth originally (studied piano at uni there. Is there a Perth Con? If so, that's where he was). Anyway, I'd been promising him a day in the studio, so he brought him band in (3 piece) and away they went. There material is very 'Zappa' as you can hear. The general structure and direction of their tracks is rehearsed, but inside that it is pretty much improvised. Anyway, they recorded about 8 songs in a live situation, did a couple of over-dubs (not much though), and then a couple of weeks later, Pugsley posted me some horn charts. I got a couple of mates in and we put the horns over the top. Horns were recorded thus... Alto & Tennor Sax - MXL V67M - Mindprint Di-Port - Digi001 Trumpet & Trombone - Beyer Opus83 - Mindprint Di-Port - DIGI001 Apart from a touch on Waves RenVerb, there's no processing on them at all. Being a freebie session, I wasn't prepared to get too fussy. The guitar is an old knocked-around Fender Strat through a Musicman combo amp. He also had a bag full of the most amazing array of FX pedals I've ever seen in one place! He set up a new selection every track, so I couldn't keep up with what he had. Glad you enjoyed the track. As you can imagine, they were fun to record. Mark |
Re: Let\'s hear your latest stuff....right here
That sounds like it would've been a blast, Mark. I produced a New Orleans jazz thing once, with trombone, trumpet, and clarinet all playing at once, totally ad lib, and it was great. I believe the engineer just put up two mikes in the room. One rehearsal, one take, and that was it. It was a pleasure how well it went.

Re: Let\'s hear your latest stuff....right here
Great job Brian. Pretty easy to pick your main instrument. [img]images/icons/wink.gif[/img]
I've got a couple of jobs on the go with Roy, but if you're still looking when they're done, I might give it a crack. Mark |
Re: Let\'s hear your latest stuff....right here
joz, i am in awe of that song. it is what i personally like to hear.
i think the best trait was the guitar being distorted or on overdrive.....it adds so much to the piano and gives it that real ROCK sound i love. its a great song that has a different sound from everything else here on the DUC. GOOD JOB [img]images/icons/smile.gif[/img] |
Re: Let\'s hear your latest stuff....right here
Hey Joz
That's a great track! Only a couple of suggestions... The acoustic guitar at the start could come up a bit. The voice sounds a bit big in comparison. At 24 secs there's a little jingly bit that makes me think there's some kind of rhythm thing coming in. So maybe get some shaker/hats thing happening through the second verse. Also some of the elec guitar rhythm parts (especially the one panned hard left) is a bit quiet, to the point where it sounds wrong. To me it needs to come up or be left out. All up it's a great track and is very commercial. Some excellent playing and singing. Keep it up. Mark |
Re: Let\'s hear your latest stuff....right here
awesome, joz. good job.
good: song, performance, recording, mix. there's only one thing missing. it sounds too good. you might want to throw 4 or 5 limiters on to get that "radio" sound... hehehe [img]images/icons/cool.gif[/img] |
Re: Let\'s hear your latest stuff....right here
Joz - Totally professional. Great performance, excellent songwriting, tight, well arranged, well recorded.
Congrats and best of luck. |
Re: Let\'s hear your latest stuff....right here
Joz - I liked the track...good melodies; several hooks to pick from; nice edge to end it out.

Re: Let\'s hear your latest stuff....right here
Hi All!
Any advice, impressions, criticism, etc. would be greatly appreciated. "Past Performance" is the newest song, but comments on the others are welcome! www.mp3.com/cavetyoureruptor Thanks! CYE [img]images/icons/smile.gif[/img] |
Re: Let\'s hear your latest stuff....right here
Joz....!
Shivers all over! Good balance between instruments and voice. Not that much of of a professional comment from me but you touched the string. Hope to get productive myself again after a couple of months, like your song. Without any technical point of view; just the way it sounds to me is in one word: great! A good song with no false pretences! Downloaded it and added to my DUC-collection> Voideco |
Re: Let\'s hear your latest stuff....right here
Great job all the way around, Joz... [img]images/icons/cool.gif[/img]

Re: Let\'s hear your latest stuff....right here
Outstanding Joz.
Nothing to add from me. |
Re: Let\'s hear your latest stuff....right here
If anyone cares...someone asked what I used for the vocal chain, and I posted alittle more then that in the treat "heres one more".

Re: Let\'s hear your latest stuff....right here
stut5,
Thanks for the comments. Funny you mentioned the lack of a solo. We were talking about that the other day (lack of solos in the songs). So perhaps that will be addressed. We are supposed to start tracking for the entire CD soon. |
Re: Let\'s hear your latest stuff....right here
YoungMoeses - Interesting track. Really cool work on the vocal effects. At the end, the track breaks down into that keyboard/drum thing that sounds too "Midi". If you can get the basic track to sound a little more "street", I think this would catch some attention.
Nice job. Bjoneill - Progressive lives! Very cool song. The vocal seems a little too dry and out front compared to the rest of the track. Great BG vocal arrangements and chord work. Love it. Good luck with the CD, and yeah, a solo might be nice. |
