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

Thanks Doc, I still feel bad about that though.


Hey, if you get a chance, please check out another "finished" song I posted a page or so back and let me know what you think. It may not be your style, but I think it sounds alright.

Re: Mac Mixes!!!!!!!!
 

Hi Everyone. This thread is great...I've been a long time reader / learner from these posts. I recorded something well over a year ago that I'd like to get some feedback on. There are 3 songs...I guess they'd fall into the hard rock genre. Unfortunately no vocals were ever recorded on them. It's been quite some time since I've let people hear these and also quite some time since I've tried to track anything besides just ideas here and there. This was done on a DIGI 002R, Octopre, 3 SM57's, 2 Rode NT1-A's & 1 AKG D112...

The most common feedback from friends was that the kick drum gets lost...it definitely does, but I haven't tried to remedy that yet. Anyway, here's the link and I'd love to hear from you guys. Also, any other equipment / gear questions I'd be glad to answer. Please feel free to download them and play them through something other than the tiny comp speak(s):) Thanks.

Chris,
This sounds great. Nice changes. Very Hot (and I dont mean that in a Paris Hilton way). Really sounds good though man. Thanks again,

I didnt get the Session though. Would you mind sending it my way so I can check out the plug settings?

Great talking to you last night and hope to make it up there on the 21st.

Take Care,
Scott

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

Bigubbaj is ROTFLOL.

Are you kidding? I have not yet seen a ME who gives the session out, they would run themselves out of business!.

Seriously, on mastering that is not so common, as lots of outboard gear is usually involved. Doc must've used something analog I would bet.

Anyhow...just made me laugh a bit...dont take it wrong.

Anyone else think Im wrong?

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

Well, I hate to bust your bubble here, but I was told the session was being sent to me.
No harm,

I also am very aware that most ME would not send out this type of request, however, this is not your typical scenario.

Sorry for the confusion and glad I could offer a good "laugh".

Hi. This is an elegy I wrote for one of my students who tragically and incomprehensibly took her own life. I say wrote, but it just kind of fell out. It's actually a poem set to music.

It's been really important to me to get it to sound as 'right' as possible, and I've taken a lot of time with the mix to make it the best I ca make it. If there's anything that could make it better still, I'd really like to hear your thoughts.

For the record, the guitar was mic'ed with an NTK and an NT5 into mic pres on a Mindprint DI-Port feeding the SPDIF inputs of an AMIII. The strings were done in Reason.

It's here: http://www.mp3unsigned.com/showmp3.a...=14534&aid=841
and here the song at the top here: http://www.soundclick.com/bands/0/th...odingmusic.htm

Thanks for your time.

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

Very Nice. Great vibe and great sound.

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

That DOC is such a nice guy then!

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

Alright Justin (BubbaJ) and Scott (Sheritan) mind your tongues!

I will send you the session as it is not a huge deal. Honestly it was fairly simple. The only thing that you will not get is the ADAT (Analog send) that I used to my outboard EQ. Other than that, once you get the Waves bundle installed you will be able to look at it better. All you will need to do is add a Linear MB EQ and tweek it. That will give you some things to look at on your own.

No big deal. This was a nice thing that I was trying to help out.

Justin I know I can bust your balls... Scott, pay now attention to him jokes. He is a great guy... Besides if he keeps harrassing ya, I will give you his number as I talk to him all the time.

DOC is a "Nice Guy!"

- Doc

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

Sorry Justin.

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

Im still laughing! The DUC is FUN FUN FUN.

Have you guys ever thought about taking your private conversations to email so that all us here dont try and start flame wars over this kind of stuff...sheesh. get a room!

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

man, step away for a couple days and I am missing some great tunes here. A downloading I shall go! I just finished the one with the 15 yr. old kids DOC and it rocks!! They remind me of a band I know called Silent Hero that are kids like that. If they are rocking like that at 15, I wonder what they will come up with down the road.

well, I will post after I give everything a listen here again. chat you guys later. peace

Re: Mac Mixes!!!!!!!!
 

I like the Song very much.
cant believe she´s 16... sounds like 25, great voice!
her english seems OK to me, but I am german, so...
I also dig the Vocal effect in the first verse, works out cool.
compliments!

Cheers, Andi

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

Charlie,
Thanks for listening.. I will post the other tunes (or parts) later.

So far so good.

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

Hey Doc, did you get a chance to listen to the last one I posted?

Curious.,

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

Powerjoe,

HAted it! No seriously it was cool.....

Nice Dreams...

Very old school WANKER ROCK. Sounds like Malmstein meets Testament. Great guitar playing. Have not heard a REVERB like that on drums and well everything since 1990 though. Great sound though. You tracked that? on a 002?

How much of the guitars are looped? Pretty tight player if not.... I would raise the guitars around 1:30 with that higher harmony stuff. Sounds like a Marshall, and some other older head, or PREAMP? Maybe a Rocktron? Good tones for the style though. Again, have nt heard that tone since 1990. TONS of VERB!

Great drum tom sound. Really ROCK! oriented.... These guys look like this????

OLE' SCHOOl

They have that testament sound for sure. Especially on the screams and the sweep guitar. Very Scolnick style... Not heard at all these days. As an ole' school wanker myself I really dig it.

Nice job.

- Doc

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

Thanks Doc.


This was not tracked on a 002. But it was brought into Pro Tools, seperated and then mixed on an SSL at Enterprise in LA. It was originally recorded elsewhere. Do you remember the "old" Record Plant in NY? It's a disco now I believe. They moved the Original Record Plant down the block. This was tracked in the old studio B on 48th and 8th. It was mixed by someone you've heard of.

This and some other material are slated for re-release and I am looking for indpendant thinkers and listeners like you to comment on it. It will be re-done on a larger PT system and I am hoping to get it right this time. This recording lacks some teeth, but that is how it came out with the mix guy.

By the way, there is no "sweeping" on that tune and the guitar parts are not looped. That is straight playing to ol' Ampex via Mesa Boogie Mark IV, '57 and old school compressor.

Thanks for the feedback. I appreciate it. If you have any more, I would love to hear what you'd do different.


Wanker? That's kinda harsh don't you think?

Re: Mac Mixes!!!!!!!!
 

aaw...you just made my day man, got some bad critics on that song from a couple of people.
felt good with a nice feedback.

thanx a million

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

Thanks, Sharriton. Appreciate your taking the time to listen.

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

Powerjoe,
I meant sweeps with the guitar player... at the end....

As for th WANKER.... Hell I am a ole school wanker so it is all good!

I will listen to it for more detailed feedback

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

All,
I tracked an old clinet tonight with his band this time. This is a new project that I am starting that should last for a few weeks. 12 songs are planned. Tonight I think that I got the best drums I have ever tracked. Had a different approach and consulted deeply with Mr. Cavell on some things. I think that they worked nicely. Also took a different approach to levels going in, and so far all is well. This is a bounce of the session with only the L2 on the track. There are no Eq's at all. The vocals and guitar are rough,and SCRATCH. The drums were the focus tonight.

Chain for them were

KICK - Audix D6 - Vintech X73i - Apogee Rosetta (best kick I have ever gotten)
Snare - SM-57 - Vintech X73i - 1176 - Apogee Rosetta
Tom 1 - Digipre - Rosetta
Tom 2 - Digipre - Rosetta
Tom 3 - Digipre - Rosetta
Floor - Digipre - Rosetta
Overheads - (ORTF) - Digipre - Rosetta
Hi-hat - SM-7B - Trident - 002 converters. (not really used a hat mic before, but liked it)

Guitar - Direct to 1272
Vocals - APEX 435 - 1272 - 1176 - 002 converters. (That is the sheer sound of the 435 if you wanted to know. and that is SCRATCH!

REVERB - TRUEverb
Delay - 2 tap (subtle)

Here ya go:

PLACE

Should be a good product when complete.

Personally, I wouldn't even pay attention or converse with either Bubba or Doc. Neither one of them will provide you with an ounce of good insight. Bubba still reliving his days as drum major and the only time I get anything worthwhile from Doc is if you call him at 2 in the morning. I'll send ya his number.

There is a guy on the board named STREETS that provide excellent input. Hunt him down!!

Just messing with ya (Be sure to read Doc's follow up to this ). Good to see you posting stuff up. Did you ever do anything more with the tune we talked about?

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

Doc

Still doesn't work.

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

Doyle,
Tighten up with your Wnblows skillz... I just downloaded the file and it worked...

Mr. Smart..... I will call you in a bit to make sure you are good.. :-)

- Doc

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

Doc -

Nice rough cut.

Drums raw sound are good. I actually LOVE your guitar sound. Kind of minimalist for you but it works.

You need more reverb on the whole thing brother...your ceilings are a bit low to give the OH's enough room to blossom. (mine are too! )

I know its really rough and you get soooo excited to post all this for us. Thanks!

Good start!

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

Like a kid in a candy store.... Fired up that my drums fianlly are somewhat dialed in..

Reverb will happen...

- Doc

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

Hey again Doc,

The link worked for me this time. Sounds like an awesome start. The fundamental tones are really good, and should be great to mix!! The kick is nice and solid, has that D6 sound for sure. Snare is great. The vocals sound really good, way to go 435!! Should be a fun project for you when it gets rolling.

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

I am bouncing it right now with a bit more verb to fill it out... late night, and time for bed, but I will post it back in a sec. Should be good...

- Doc

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

Here is a tad more vocals and some plate Lexicon on the drums. Just a tad. Warmer...

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

When I first listened the verse reminded me of Daughters by John Mayer,

As far as the recording goes, the drums sound great. They've got some real nice punch to them

Good job
