Great job guys! love the guitars. the drums sound really good, they have the deep jungle sound ACDC was known for. They are one of my top 5 favorite bands, I killed alot of brain cells to them back in the day. Great job Rami! how about Sin City next? lol
Again ... when I listen to anything done by Greg or Rami ... all I do is sit back, relax, and enjoy the performance. There is almost never anything to comment on regarding production -- because they really are not prone to making errors in their works.
This is another case of just that.
Great job, fellas.
This just started out as some drum and guitar test tracks anyway.
Thanks dude.I haven't checked the mp3 clinic for ages, but this was a great song guys. Good job on the vocals Rami! And those drums are straight sexy, Greg.
Slacker.
[so how were the results of the test? passed?]
Lol. Thanks but relax, you're a better drummer than I am. What do you mean you "do drums for a living"?I haven't read any comments, so I apologize for any redundancy. ahem...
Your drums are blowing my mind... and I do drums for a living. snappy, full of body, precise, etc...
I'm done. I quit. I'm shaming the good name of drummers everywhere.
A-frickin'-mazing, dude.
Thanks dude. I don't think home recording will ever threaten big studios, but I'd love for it to put a big dent in the chickenshit medium studios. I just received a whole album's worth of drum tracks done at one of Houston's local medium budget studios, and they are shit. I gotta make sense of them.recording is really well done, drums are so good, of course the guitars nailed the band...thats a interesting vocal tracking, with the backing dirty deeds chorus like thing. really well done, geeez.
acdc was probably the biggest band in my highschool days for a year or so...i dont know how it happened really? probably live then that transferred into someone buying the tapes/albums and that spread them around?
sometimes "messing around recordings" come out the best, imo. maybe due to being more open minded and creative, to do something new. babblebabble babble babble...
this well done stuff makes HR really threatening to the big studios... could of used more cowbell though, got to have more cowbell.
Lol. Thanks but relax, you're a better drummer than I am. What do you mean you "do drums for a living"?
hehe... Honestly? I'm embarrassed to say it, but only because the drum sound I get always seems to fall short of the ones you put out (and I think mine are pretty good)... Anyway, yeah.. I programmed computers for 15 years, but had a studio-room in my basement where I would record clients from time to time. I started that in 2009, right around the time I joined this forum, and you taught me how to record drums properly. So, that continued until 2011, and at that time, I was getting so busy in the studio, I had to decide to either quit studio work, or quit programming full-time. I decided to quit programming, built a "medium" studio in a new house and have been specializing in acoustic drum recording for the past 2 years.
Hopefully some day I can get mine up to par with yours, dude. Seriously... It kind of makes me sick how good your drums sound.

I was going to suggest that PoeticIntensity hires you to come out and help setup a drum recording session in his studio, Greg. Utah's not so far from Texas, right?!
That's why I asked about making a living with it. I've always refrained from commenting on anything Po has played on because, like you say, it's always on someone else's tune with someone else mixing.I hear things in his tracks that I'd personally do differently if anyone cared. The problem for me is that I don't know if it's something he needs to address on his tracking end, or if his tracks are getting mangled by whoever is mixing them.
Lol, it's right down the street!

I'm on the far west side, in Katy. My little burb is like the last outpost of greater Houston's urban sprawl. After Katy, it's the vast nothingness of Texas until you hit San Antonio 3 hours later. Texas is a big place. It takes about 12 hours to go from state line to state line. Utah would be about a full 24 hour drive or more.It's like, two states along - that's nothing! I'm looking at the map - which bit of Houston are you in?
Cool man, I'm glad they'll work out for you. Leveling, panning, EQ, and compression are all standard drum mixing things to do. Don't be afraid to massage them as needed. Just don't go overboard. That's one area where people fuck it all up.I've been mixing those drums you sent me - I don't have to do anything to them and they sound great (a bit of levels and eq here and there to let the kick & snare through) - I'm sure others would make more of them, but they sound fine without any processing (of course, I've smashed the master bus with some 'mastering').
One thing I've kind of been thinking about maybe giving a try is an online reamping service. Reamping is all the rage right now for people that can't do or afford big loud mega amp sound. Reamping is kind of lame, but it beats the shit out of sims. I've got a pile of classic and modern megawatt Marshalls, three 4x12 cabs loaded with a variety of the most popular Celestion speakers, and a modest but typical assortment of cab mics. If you want big authentic Marshall roar through legit cabs, I'm your guy! Just send me some direct tracks and I'll reamp that shit....for a fee.
