Got one more.

It's an arrangement I worked out, and like, but need to practice more. I was disappointed with the overall session, but managed to edit together a tolerable take. I'm loving my national resonator, though.

Just Friends

thanks.

That is an enjoyable take. Great sounds captured!

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

Ok... So all this talk and no music.

This is the first song that I have written with lyrics in about 6 years...so needless this was a fun weekend project. Everything is me and is really an instrument. No samples, no midi.

Let Me Down

I am not the best singer, but this is not a bad performance.

And yes, the 435's are used for drum overheads and vocals.

Check out my 5198 Studios web page to see where this was done.

Thanks! Let me know what you think.

Compressor was RVOX slammed to about 20..... Mic was the TLM-103... EQ was Focusrite D2 4 band.
Trueverb witha really long tail... Eventide on the VOX just a smidge and the 2 tap delay set way in the back.

Bass player is all over the place... Never really noticed until mixing too.. Interesting.. Will take some more of the bass out to see if I can get the boominess out of it some...Mixed this in about an hour....

Thanks for listening...

Scottdog.. I think that you are clipping a little? HOw did you master it out? Any clipping on the master fader??? volume is PUMPED! I had my mix pretty loud and the L2 was at about 4. I do not like to go above 5 really. 4 is pushing it. What are you at? Or what are you doing to get the mix so damn loud? It sounded like is was clipping on parts...

Also, nice to see that bubbaJ bought the 435's. Great aren't they!

Doc,

I put it thru a preset on the L2-it was at 10! Oooops
Anyway I put Inspector on it & there was some clipping. Took a while to figure out how to back off the levels & maintain the automation. The L2 is at 4 now. Thanks.

bigbubbaj,

Thanks for the compliment. I bumped the drums up a bit (unfortunately I'm stuck with loops for now)...002r soon!
Oh, and sorry about scaring your cat.

I'll have to get back to you with the updated version, having trouble uploading to my server.

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

Right on, Thanks very much to all who checked my stuff out. Let me see if I can answer all the questions:

I have a Bassist and Drummer that I work with and there are a 3 songs where Another keyboardist laid tracks, and I had another guitarist do the Lead on Had Enough, and Troubadour. The rest of the Acoustic and electrics guitars, the keyboards, All vocals, bass on Say It again, and all percussion on Say it Again, are all me. I recorded, Mixed, and Mastered it myself...Didn't want to squash it to death and over-compress it in mastering so i used moderation.

Anyway, thanks for all the kind words and keep rockin!

Sean,

Good job man. Very interesting sounds.. cannot quite pinpoint the sound... that is a good thing!

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

OK, here's the updated version.... Faith, Hope and Charity

bbj-Let Me Down sounds good, your vocals are a bit buried in the verse, compression & eq?

badperson-jazz on a resonator...nice!

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

Thanks, I will see what I can do to bring them out a bit.Are there any tricks you all can recommend to bring out vocals a bit without raising levels?
