Oh, did I mention the kit is about $200 with a couple cymbals that looked like they have been run over! It's not perfect by any account, but we should still be able to get something decent out of it?

Will do. Again, thanks for the input.

I actually like the sound you got. It had that raspy feel to it which I though was cool!

We have 4 mics on the drums: 2 Overheads: AKG c2000 and an old Shure 55s SM57 on the snare and a Audix i5 stuck in the kick

In regards to the fizzy distorted guitar on the right. Can it still be usable if toned down or will it always have an overly harsh sound to it no matter how much I turn it down? I know I wasn't going to bring up the drums but are they passable or kind of muffled and not defined enough? We have...

Thanks, I have plenty of energy just not the recording or mixing skills! There will eventually be lyrics but for now we are focussed on tracking.

I will play with spreading things out a bit to see how that sounds. The left rhythm guitar was done with 2 mics. One is panned 60% L while the other is about 30% R. Is this a good technique or should each guitar be strictly on it's own side? Or maybe a layered technique? Guitar 1 100% L & 100%...

Are you asking if I am covering one of Greg_L's songs? I think he would kick my ass for making it sound so bad or even trying :D

Yeah I jumped the gun on this one! I listened it in my car on my way to work and in my boss's little radio recording studio and the right guitar did sound like noise and it was way too loud. My intensions are to have my left guitar the beefy rhythm while my friends noisy guitar is there for odd...

I uploaded an earlier version of this song about a week ago. It was a bit to harsh and not full enough. Since then I have tried using completely different mics and turning down the distortion a bit :D in hopes of capturing my tone better. http://soundclick.com/share.cfm?id=9901502 Still...

The bass sounds great! I live the heaviness to it. That cajun thing is real cool, sounds as good as drum kit! What it is? Just a wooden box with a hole or does it have Pentium processor in it or something?

Nice cover. The original is tough one to compete with though :) Do have some kind of lo-fi filter going on your voice?

Amazing just like before! Tons of energy and power in the beat but especially the lyrics! I'm also loving the whole "let me spell it out for you" lyrics on the screen because the pen is mightier than any MTV overpriced choreographed video.

Cool technique, it definitely adds to the roots rock sound of the whole song! I also like how it also translates to the distorted rhythm guitar. Great song. Has that open road feel!

Well he does make a good point. Maybe just not as eloquently as others would :D but have you listened to his "low production quality" punk? It's pretty tight and top notch.
