Chris, The guitar sounds fantastic...great job on this. Excellent clarity, and I like the way it's panned so wide...sounds great. -Roy |
Re: Another NEW one - Acoustic stuff
Roy,
Thanks! It is incredibly mellow, but I was happy to use that rain part. May tweek it some as it comes across as noise in parts. Going to fade one section better too. It is really a mellow tune though. I may work on taking out the finger slides too. Screech owl in there! All and all it was fun to track though. He gets off in a few parts but it kinda throws it some. The guitars were tracks with 4 mics per take. I then panned them 50/100 to the Right and -50/-100 to the Left. Sat the vocals right in the middle and added some layered reverbs on the parts. Very limited eq'ing at all. The vocals were compressed going in with the 1176, but I added a RComp to smotth it some... Took the 8 guitar tracks and bussed them all to a stereo AUX track and added a slight compression and a Waves Req6 with a tough of sheen. Nothng else. The vocals have the Focusrite EQ on it with some highs added. That and the LA-2A and that was all for EQ and Compression for the entire piece. Verbs were from TRueVerb, and my outboard Lexicon PCM-90. Love that unit. Also have a slight 2 tap delay on the vocals, but VERY low in the mix. Thanks for listening to the mellow tune! It was a nice change from the stuff last week. - Doc |

Chris, This is very cool, including your vocals...interesting piece...I like most everything going on, though I think it deserves a better loop than the kick/hat/snare thing right now. It may be that it's just too present in this mix, but I think something slightly different might serve the song better.....that said though, very creative and refreshing song. Thanks for letting me hear it. -Roy |

Not to blow my own trumpet but, I think I did well with this one. I never noticed the monotonous loop at first but now you point it out, its very apparent to me. The problem is, this tune doesnt sound right at any other tempo so what rythm would fit the song better? Do you think the same style playing, but perhaps a different pattern or more variation? Is there a different rythm you think might suit this song better? I was wondering if this would sound good recorded with a live kit. I'll get the drums programmed then try doing them live. Thank you for taking the time to listen anyway, I must say I never look in this thread and am suprised anybody responded since I dont. Chris Tempest |

Here's what I'm hearing... I think the loop you have is fine in places, but the song would feel better if the percussion 'straightens out' in the verses, for instance. Below are some simple examples of a straighter loop to try in the verses.....they're not perfect, but are similar in sound to what you're using. They're 140bpm(same as yours)...Choose one, and try it either alone or with your existing loop during the verses. Match them up as best you can to give it a fair listen. Let me know how it goes... -Roy 140bpm |
Heavy Stuff
Hey Everybody,
There are tons of great mixes to listen to in here, so I'm a little nervous about posting any stuff up, everybody's stuff sounds so good. But, I really want to hear some comments from all the good ears in here, so what the hey!! Oh yeah, I don't have any server space just yet (real close to having the website together though), but I noticed tempest18 had used "you send it" to post, so I'm going to try that out. Hopefully it works. Anyway this band I actually finished a couple months ago, but they came in to re-work some things a couple of weeks ago (which also allowed me to change a couple of things that were bugging me), and here's the result. It's kind of heavy stuff so don't let it give you a heart attack!!! I'd love to hear any comments. Thanks!!! Caustic Lye:Under My Breath p.s. Doc's already heard this one, but it's a little different now. He gave me some good advice on this one. |
Re: Another NEW one - Acoustic stuff
Ahhhhhhh
huuuuuuuuhhh Third, Sounds like the band I have been working with for the past few months. Is that kick replaced? Guitars sound great and has a nice balance throughout. I will put it through the monitors at home later. You posted this before? No? Or just mailed it to me? Sounded familiar... - Doc |

That's the next upgrade is definately new monitors. I think I'm going with the JBL LSR's 6328's, but I'm not completely decided or ready with the cash. |
\"The Rest of My Life\" - Please Critique
Hey folks. This is my first post here. Been lurking a bit. I'm a total newbie with all this engineering, production, etc.
I did everything here (except used drum loops). Wrote it, played all, sang, yadda^3. Fun stuff. A *LOT* of work, even to get it to *this* level. My idea for this piece is sort of for a Bonnie Raitt, or Merideth Brooks-type artist. Still have other arranging ideas for it, but didn't have the musicians accessible at the moment. I'd appreciate any and all thoughts. Go gently now. :-) http://webinfinity.biz/newsite/mp3s/restofmylife6.mp3 |

You did good on the instruments and the vocals, I like the doubled sound you've used. I think the only thing that gets me is the drum loop repeating all the way through, no fills or anything. You could try programming some drums using reason rewired through PT. Put some ghost hits and stuff in there to get a real feel going. Good listen Chris Tempest |

I'll post a little mix with one of those loops as the verse to get your input anyway. Apart from that, not sure how the original beat can be changed to make it differ from the choruses. Unless the chorus beat develops a little. I'm just wondering what hi hat rolls and ghost snares can be put in there to make it sound better. I was thinking of maybe bashing a tambourine along to it to see how that works out. Thanks again Chris Tempest |

Smack: I was expecting a hip hop track also when I read your post, but I couldn't help but crack a smile when I heard it. Excellent production on this, it fits the vibe you are going for totally. I am digging the guitars in it also btw. |
Re: Another NEW one - Acoustic stuff
Ditto on "Paint the Desert Wind". Another great one Roy!

Re: Another one to check out
You're welcome Sharritan, anytime. I cranked it up as soon as I got to a better sound system about a half hour ago and everything sounds really good to jam out to man. lol Sounds like a cross between some old Soundgarden and Candlebox in a way imo. Good stuff for sure though. Have a good weekend. peace

Re: Mac Mixes!!!!!!!!
A Song i`ve recorded with a lady a few months ago.
we started to record the song in february, and ended april. All mixed on a G4 dp1,25mhz, Digi 002r - PT 6.4 Mixed on Alesis mkII monitors. Shure mics on drums, Bass direct to a Behringer DI and into the box. Vox amp for guitar. Røde condenser mic for vocals. Mastered in wavelab, using a 3bandcompressor. Please tellme what you think of the vocals.. first time i have recorded somebody with a good voice. ( been hardcore screaming voices before) i know the S` are a bit sharp.. but i`m interesting if its bothers you the way she pronounces stuff in english. She`s from norway and is just 16 years old... |
