Roy and everyone else:
I really appreciate everyone saying such good things about the guitar tones on the song I posted. I hope you guys enjoy the song as much as you do the guitar tone. If anyone wants to throw some constructive criticism my way on other stuff about the song please do it, I love hearing the bad too, it makes me work harder.

Thanks again all
-Kevin

Thanks Roy, that made my day/week. I've had so many studio problems, unsatisfied customers, lost mail-outs etc...Knowing someone out there is appreciating my stuff is helping me to look up right now. (a side note, Do you use Reason? It's driving me nuts. send me an e-mail ([email protected]) if you do and I'll describe what I'm trying to do with it and perhaps you could help me out in exchange for...I don't know,...some mastering maybe )

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

check your email when you can, Chris...I'll be glad to try and help.

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

drop me a line and i'll see if i can help you out. and yea, that song was done mostly in reason. i have a good one coming up...

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

Hey da BaSsTaRd!

I listened to your tune. It sounds like you were having a blast! Sometimes you just have to have fun...............

thanks. its a bit of a boilermaker. something to occupy my time...

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

No great musical achievement, just trying to get a decent overall sound from my 001. The mp3 squelced some of the air I had going before the conversion. Any comments would be fine...about anything...even my sloppy guitar. I laid down an acc gtr and a scratch vocal and a click. Everyting else was tracked after the fact. We did the into, one verse and a chorus. I edited the rest of the production...cut and paste...like I said, just trying to learn how it's done.

GONE LOOPY! Just started messing around with some loops and started cutting them up. Wanted to see what you guys think of this little thing that I have started. I kinda dig it. Needs some guitars to thicken it up some more, but the line is pretty cool.

Ideas are welcome... please.... it has what I all a Limp Bizkit intro with a flare of old NIN. That is what I hear... Pretty Hate or earlier....

Msoq,

Honestly, not bad at all for just trying to learn PT! I'd spend just a little more time on the drums when he isn't playing the sidestick, but that could just be an mp3 thing.

Chris/Intel,

You guys are killing me here with this stuff. I can't get a handle on Reason for the life of me!!! I like it.

Nulius,

My only recommendation is to work on fattening up the vox. What mic's, pre's, and comps are at your disposal? The vox on this particular tune (the first in your post) make the song sound like a live board boot from a club with a 57 knockoff. I don't mean to sound demeaning, but, I'm sure that I/we could give you some great recommendations to take the vocals and shove them over the top. I just need to know a little about what you've got at your fingertips.

Mr. Cavell
Thanks man! I am still messin with that one! I did a lot of that in Acid for the initial work, then dropped it in Pro Tools and cut it all up more. Eventually will have guitars and some structure.... Trying to see what I want with it!

Thanks though as always...

P.S. I finally picked up a TLM-103. Check out the site. Been updated alot!!!

Later man,
Doc

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

IntelDoc...I enjoyed it...interesting piece. I tell you, working with loops/samples is a little art form in itself...
thanks, Roy

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

Thanks Roy. I tallied it up last night and have a little over 40 gigs of loops.... It is fun to work with, but damn if I have not heard all my sounds yet....
Some are good, some are worthless.... drag em into recycle and it opens all new doors...

Thanks, I will work with it this weekend and go from there...

-Doc

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

Posted this as a new, standalone post, but then I remembered Roy's thread for this purpose. So here we go:

I've been recording the blues band I'm in (San Diego-based West Of Memphis) at a few of our rehearsals, and one gig. I did some rough mixes and gave them to Tom, our guitar player, who is also doing our Web site. http://www.westofmemphis.com .. click on the 'Music' link to hear some of our material.

We recorded all tracks live- no overdubbing. All sessions were done at 48 KHz, 24-bit. For the rehearsal recordings I was using the 001; on the gig recording I used my new 002. In both situations, I set up 8 audio channels in Pro Tools as follows:

1. Kick drum -- no-name ball mic similar to an SM58, inside the drum a couple of inches from the beater head.

2. Snare -- Oktava MC-012, near the rim, pointing away from the high-hat

3 & 4. Drums O.H. Left and Right -- Oktava MC-012s in a coincident pair configuration (mics basically together, but angled 90 degrees apart). The pair was placed about three feet up from the cymbals, centered on the set.

5. Bass Guitar -- direct line input from my Crate BX-80 amp

6. Vocals - line input from our Mackie 808S P.A.. SM58 mics

7. Guitar amp -- SM57

8. Harmonica amp -- SM57. The amp is a tiny tube amp with a single speaker about 6" in diameter. The player likes that hard-edged, slightly distorted sound.. that is intentional!


Opinions on my mixes? Destructive criticisms? Pot-shots? Raves?

Notes: I was going for a live, loose, raw type of sound which matches our musical style. In "Rocket 88" I used a slap echo on the guitar and harmonica to give it a '50s sound. I think I might have been a little heavy-handed with the effect on this mix. On the gig recording, I think I let the record levels get a bit too high. I used compression on most individual tracks, and a small amount on the master fader channel. I also set up a D-Verb aux input.

IntelDoc,
Man, I tell you, 'auditioning' sounds takes some work and time, doesn't it?

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

Nulius...
Sounds really good, man...good band, good job...What do you do in the band, and where are you guys from?
Thanks, Roy

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

Hey thanks a lot, Roy. If your talking about the second clip, I play guitar.

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

Hey thanks a lot, Roy. If your talking about the second clip, I play guitar. We're from Warrensburg, MO. It's about 40 mi. east of Kansas City.

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

Hi,

I thought you got a really nice, natural sound from this recording. Nice guitars, nice vox, gave me the impression of being right there in the room.

Great job.

IntelDoc, nice job as always. keep it up.

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

Oh, I've been meaning to ask this for a while,

DaBasstard, do you keep an updated playlist on your site? I thought it would be cool if maybe you and Roy kept a list going of things you liked, with maybe some commentary on techniques?

I know you have a lot to do, but I enjoy your work.

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

Whats up my PC Digi brothers? HERES a tune I'm doing using Reason and DFH/ Amplitube/ Atmosphere/ Trilogy/ and Symphony of voices. Lemme know what you guys think!!!! It's a 4mb in size. Thanks!!!!

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

Gorilla, took a listen. Sounds good to me. Is it just me or do I hear some Kansas influence in there?

Steve

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

Thanks DW!!! Kansas....WOW, please tell me which parts, SERIOUSLY!!! I've never had anyone mention Kansas when talking about my music. Thats cool!!!! When it's complete it may have some ELO in it !!!!

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

as I'm listening.. intro is very cool. then, drums are really cool to but, is that humanly possible? not for my old ass. probably the first thing that makes me think Kansas is the odd time signature at 1:00the the guitar chords at 1:39 and the chord changes at around 1:45

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

To hear my music go to www.thetrackbox.com

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

Hey thanks DW. I never noticed!!! You know, I know of some killer drummers, but I made some of those timings insane. At :45 spot everything stays 4/4 but the kicks for 5 seconds. I think someone can do it!! Thanks again!!!

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

that's cool. I sure virgil or portnoy could do it..

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

Here's a little arrangement I put together with reason for my skate video. It's on the homiez part.

Tito,
The video looks great (as does your site)...I can't get audio though, but it is likely within my setup. I'll look into it though, and try again later...
thanks, Roy

Way cool video! Nice job and great editing!

All, I do not know why, but I want to repost my post here.. I had fun remastering my band that I played in 10 years ago in High School. Here is the post. Check it out for a good laugh! Some stuff is actually pretty good for 18 year old, Primus PUNK kids... It was all in good fun!

Here is the post...

Enjoy the laughs! I did! The Others stuff I think that I was 15. The other band I was 17 or 18?

Sweet!

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

I did all the recording, sequencing, and midi programing with Pro Tools LE, Reason 2.5 and a Nord Lead II. thanks for listening

Catching up on some listening...

Gorilla,
Interesting piece, man... I love the intro. If you don't mind, what did you use to do that?...... thanks, Roy

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

Tito,
Finally got to hear audio with your video... interesting mix of real life sounds and music...good job...
thanks, Roy

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

Hey Roy, it's the "Symphony of voices" library.

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

Thanks Gorilla...I had a feeling it was Spectrasonics. They make incredible sounds, and you used it well on your song.

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

msog,
I finally listened to 'sanctified living', and I honestly enjoyed it. Your vocal vibrato is a tad slower than most, which makes it really unique(in a good way)...laid back, and the harmonies sound really good to me. I like the song itself too. The only thing I noticed is that the drums felt rushed a little, but you said you played to a click, so maybe that's why. Anyway, I enjoyed it.
thanks, Roy
