They don't sound like real drums - sounds like a 808 or something - amazing.Drums are a set of Ludwigs. I'm sitting next to him with a Blues Jr with a 441 in front of it.View attachment 125243View attachment 125246
noDo you have some saturation or something on the recording? The distortion doesn't come across in the way I think it was intended.
I went thru it track by track. What I THINK is mostly the distortion is the bass track. Everything was miked and the bass amp had a fair amount of fur on it. Add that to the guitar and it can get fuzzyDo you have some saturation or something on the recording? The distortion doesn't come across in the way I think it was intended.
Same here & Golden Earring...Sounds fine to me. I love the live jamage aspect to it.
Tune reminds me of Golden Earing.
It's funny that you said that. My take was the exact opposite. They sounded like real drums, especially the way the cymbals ring and die out. It sounds nothing like the 808 to me, a machine that I personally despise.They don't sound like real drums - sounds like a 808 or something - amazing.
Yes. we have phones but I try to "stay outta the way" when tracking now. I want everyone having fun and thinking about jamming rather than thinking about recording. Sometimes you get lightning in a bottle. Sometimes you don't.Same here & Golden Earring...
What's that PA you've got there behind the drummer? Just for vocals?

I had the 707 which was good for timing new songs - terrible sounds.It's funny that you said that. My take was the exact opposite. They sounded like real drums, especially the way the cymbals ring and die out. It sounds nothing like the 808 to me, a machine that I personally despise.
Thanks. Actually yes. It.s all under construction.Nice song - it's great when you can come up with something like this spontaneously! Only comment on the mix is that the drums sound very dry, and the guitar is quite ambient/echoey. Maybe that's why folks are saying it sounds like synth drums. Thought about adding a little keyboard or rhythm guitar during the guitar solos to fill out the sound a little?
^^ Yeah, this. I like all kinds of music, but at the point when I realized that my favorite music was performed and not generated by a box or an app, I left FL Studio behind and left comping tracks behind and started capturing real playing in one take. That's where the beauty and joy is, like you say, 'for me anyways'.I'm not a fan of canned drums in any fashion. The whole idea is to catch people actually playing in a room. For me anyways
