Re: Still working with the screamers....
 

Nice work. I like the sleepy atmosphere. A lot.This song has so much air.


I have again a new one.

LKP (mobilization)


I had some kind of creative period because I had week off. Time to play record and mix. But tomorrow is back to work. I like music making much more. Damn.

Anyway, feel free to say anything.

Re: Still working with the screamers....
 

Great song(again), bp.....I know your recording conditions don't allow for the best production possible, but the song itself is a gem, IMO. And again, love your vocal style.

-Roy

Re: Still working with the screamers....
 

thanks, roy. Glad you liked it.

just curious, what would you consider an ideal production sound for this tune? My biggest problems recording in my apartment are amp noise and the sound quality of the rooms themselves.

What element do you think would help most? I want to get better converters, and a better mic this year. (hopefully.)
curious to hear your thoughts, and don't want to use my room/gear as too much as an excuse.

glad you liked the song!

Re: Still working with the screamers....
 

bp,
I'll PM you tonight with some suggestions. Do you think you'll be able to shrink the other session to fit my ftp site? If not, just keep the key tracks, save it as a smaller session(just below 500mb) and send that. In a hurry for now.......talk to you tonight.

thanks, Roy

Re: Still working with the screamers....
 

thanks roy, I'm zipping the file now.

phanatik,
Sounds really good, man.....especially liked 'the game don't change' and 'something2say'...best of luck with it.

Re: Off the top of my head...
 

i'm recording a new band right now. they have an indie rock sound almost in the vein of The Killers but more acoustic, a little darker, good stuff. I'll post some samples once they're finished.

...
 

This is a band I recently recorded. A bit different from the norm on here.
Thought I would share. Most of it was done before I switched to PT in Sonar. I then mastered it in PT.
A little on the heavy side (and explicit lyrics as a heads up).

I'll Shine (mp3 5.4 mb)

Re: Mac Mixes!!!!!!!!
 

Im very impressed with the recording and songs. You did this all on an MBOX? I really didnt think my MBOX was capable of this recording level. Time to get my butt in the basement and create!!!

Hi superpenguin79,

thanks for the listen

Re: Solo CD
 

Hi Scott,
i had a listen to angelinice. sounds good, i like the sound of the guitars and the chorus effect youve got going there. Just one thing, maybe its just me but it sounds a bit sloppy or messy at about the 16 second mark when the additional guitar comes in, thats the only thing i picked up on.

Cheers,
Ruben

Re: Mac Mixes!!!!!!!!
 

I was wondering if some one could help me out. My mixes don't seem to have the punch I'm looking for
They have a limited dynamic range. And volume levels are not good.

If any one can give Me some feed back that would be great.
Check out " Eyes Like You "

Re: Solo CD
 

Good ear ... that is the bass kicking in and I haven't gone back and re-recorded the bass line for that tune yet....hence..'in the works' That tune was slapped together in a few hours. It will get polished up yet.

Re: ...
 

Thanks for checking them out Ruben! Yeah, the Digeridoo was very fun on RTM. Believe it or not, I had never messed with one before my current project.

Joz,
You're doing some great stuff...cool vocals, and I love all that's going on in the background. Guits sound great. Good job, man.

madcow,
Very well done...the band is tight, guitars sound great...very good mix. This is 'not my genre', as we sometimes say, but excellent job on your part. Post more when you can.

-Roy

Re: ...
 

joz,

great song/performance/production.

I liked it a lot. I was wondering if the drums could have used a "liver" sound, but that's a super minor complaint that you may well disagree with.
great work.

madcow, your song was very good too.
what are you using for guitar sounds?

Re: ...
 

Thanks everybody.
Here's the "final" mix, it sounds much better!!
http://www.overnightlows.com/music/thebreaks.mp3
Badperson, the room I track in sucks for drums, so I have to mix the room very low, it drives me crazy, but I try to make it work. So I try to compasate by making the drums very fat. Listen to the new mix, much fatter.
vocalvoodoo, our myspace.com acount email is [email protected]. See you there!

Hi Joz,

Very nice! I like it.

Re: ...
 

superpenguin79/Charlie...
Finally got to listen to all the available songs, my favorite is 'Dream of Stars'...very nice chord changes...best of luck with your new cd...

-Roy

Re: ...
 

Joz...the remix sounds killer...great song. Really like her vocal 'personality' too. Wanna hear more when anything is ready.

-Roy

Re: ...
 

Joz,
Great clean sounds man! Very smooth guitars, and your vocalist is pretty good. Hate to classify, but she has that Gwen sound.... Not bad at all. Very West Coast sound too. All of this was done on the 002???

Pre's???

Sounds great and great spacing. Very wide!

Oh ya, what amp is that on guitars? Marshall?? Great sounds....

- Doc

overnight lows
 

Thanks everyone.
IntelDoc, the chain that I always use is > brent Avrill 1272 > Rosetta (ecxept for most drums, thats mostly the 002 since I only have a pair of 1272s)
My amp is a jcm 800 > carl martin distortion pedal. I record all the guitars direct int into the comp. Then spend alot of time reamping and getting the right sound wile I'm not playing. But the real hero here is my Les Paul Classic Gold Top, it just sound amazing! leads and rythms they were all done with it.

http://www.overnightlows.com/music/thebreaks.mp3

Joz

Re: overnight lows
 

Gotta love that Rosetta.... I love mine. I use the 1272's, not the B.A.'s but the Vintech and love it.

What is the room you track in loke?

Sounds great man... got it all on disk in th car now.

- Doc

Re: overnight lows
 

The room is our rehearsal space in west L.A
It's full of equiptment, carpeted etc. It has all these weird bass ressonances that I have to surgically remove with EQ on the drum overheads. Its about 10x10ft. You can hear the difference in the drum sound done in a big studio (songs "get away go" and "the way that I am" for example) in our music section www.overnightlows.com/music.html

Joz

Re: ...
 

Thanks Roy! yeah, "Dream of Stars" was a lot of fun to work on. I really enjoyed writing the solo on that song and doing the harmonizing with the piano part. Still hits me every time I hear it as a suprise kind of. lol Thanks for checking them out, and goodluck on your current projects also man. peace

Charlie

Re: ...
 

Joz,

that tune sounds great, man...
one of the best mixes I have heard from a 002..
is it mastered also?

I am working on my new CD and you made me want to trash everything!!

You can go into a little detail about the vocals?
one track? doubled at any point?
what compressor?
how was it compressed?
delays or reverb?

I really like the "closeness" of the vocals in the mix...
and would like to get that kind of sound. Right now, I am just doing small delays, low in the background..

Thanks
