Hey guys, so these were not recorded in my studio, nor mixed in my studio. I've joined a brand new band, and we're still adding members. So we decided to record single takes of some of our WIP songs to show prospective members our sound.
These aren't meant to be "pro" recordings or official releases, but I want them to sound the best possible. I don't have access to my monitor environment so I'm just mixing these at my regular PC with sub-standard Creative 5.1 speakers, so its a shot in the dark for me really. I also didn't fully control the tracking process. Basically I used my Zoom 4hn as the interface, and faced the onboard mics at my drums. Then the guitarist had cheap Audix drum mics around, we put one on the bass cab, one on the guitar cab. The guitarist used his usual saturated tone, so it came out really, really fizzy, as I expected it would. I put a low-pass filter on the guitar to smooth it out a bit. It also comes across pretty dry, but I'm hesitant to add verb, so I want to know what you guys think.
