Roy, I was searching for vsts for a project I am working on and found ambience reverb here:

Hey BP, cool track.
two comments.
The riff guitar is a bit strong.
And the drums seem to lag behind the beat a bit. Makes it difficult to really settle into the track. They really need to be ahead of the beat if anything in this kind of track.
Can you nudge all the drums forward a bit?

Guit4Brains,
Thanks very much...can't wait to check it out...

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

Hey, I haven't done any listeing in a long time. Also, I have this annoying problem, when I click on link, it downloads, but music match won't load it. So I'm doing the right-click thing. Anyone know how to fix that?

Anyway,

"coming home" is great sounding. Great playing and sound as always, roy. the drums sound great too. They're programmed, no? They sound very natural. Also a great bass sound. Would love to hear how you guys did it. Great work.


"Deception" is cool also. Great guitar sounds, singing, and the song is great too. Nice work, good luck with it. What kind of gear are you using? You get a very rich sound.

"emotional" is a cool song, great performance, recording and production.

"flapper baby" is cool also. The vocal chain sounds like it must be pretty good. actually, the whole thing sounds pretty top notch.

"mermaid" has very soothing changes and sound, nice work, roy.

The quality just goes up here all the time. My latest is sounding like oatmeal on subsequent listenings and unworthy of this latest batch. I'll put up a new mix soon.

Again, fantastic work all.

thanks aussie.

I put up a new mix, I'll play around with nudging the drums next weekend and let you know how it goes.

new drums, new technique
 

So we got a new drumset in the studio. We also decided to try a new approach (for us)...get it to sound good going in. So here's the results so far. We've really been trying to get it the way we want it to sound going in, so that way there is minimal stuff going on during mixing, mainly just pushing the faders up and panning.

This was the first thing we did with when we got the new drum kit. We already know the tempo isn't steady, and some stuff is out of tune. We weren't using a click track for this, just wanted to see how it recorded. Also, on all of these tracks, my studio partner is playing all the parts, he's a guitarist who taught himself to play drums, so we know the drum technique isn't perfect. Lastly, the mixing on this track consists entirely of pushing the faders up and panning (we used compression going in on the bass)

*Warning: this file is pretty large* This was one that was recorded a day or two ago, after playing around with different drum heads/muffling/tuning/miking. Again, essentially unmixed, except for panning and levels, and yes, we know the drums are way out of balance with the guitars. Same disclaimer about the drum technique.

http://www.omnitonestudios.com/newsa...odaysample.mp3

We were listening to lots of recordings that we liked. We picked one and tried to see if we could match the quality. We picked the song "Today" by the Smashing Pumpkins, and recorded the opening. There is a little more mixing on this one, mainly some eq and compression on the kick and snare drum mics, and we corrected some phase and delay issues, in addition to the levels and panning. Also, I put a compressor and eq on the master fader to get the levels up...no this isn't going to a mastering house...(btw, if I am violating copyright stuff by posting that last one, somebody please let me know, and I'll take it down asap).

I don't have the specifics on the instruments in front of me, but here's a basic run down:

Tama Starclassic Performer Set
Yamaha Oak Snare
Zildjian Cymbals and high hat

PRS McCarty Guitar
Fender Telecaster (custom job w/ Fender Lace pickups)
Mesa-Boogie Single Rectifier Rect-o-Verb Combo
BlueBeard Pedal


Feedback is welcome. If people are interested, I'll post more details about how things were miked.

Guit4Brains,
well Madrugada is from Norway. I just know their first album for now : Industrial Silence. I know they have two more now. Their singer is excellent, and their music very... very rock... puts you in some cool atmosphere... Listen to "strange color blue" if you can...

badperson,
Thanks I did my best. As for the recording and production : I'm pretty happy with the sound, personaly, all the more since the song is recorded with the MBox, no preamp, a 200Euro condenser mike, and a 80Euro guitar ... (and my voice).
So effort has been put in editting though (of course).

Roy, I have nothing to do with the quality of the song itself , but I like it too!
'Soulfully sung' : thanks, it is my couple's current song, so to speak ... and it was for her birthday as I said...



Thanks guys.
Could you please give me some details, like do you hear it's home made? do the guitars sound good (to you)?... does it sound good on your monitor/stereo (I have no monitors)? any advice?
I'm eager to hear more of any suggestions guys!

Thanx.
Cedric (Wonderfall).

PS : I have problems downloading these days, so I can't really give my opinion for other songs, sorry...
