Care to share your secret for sweet sounding drums

The mix is so solid I confess I'm not really listening to the lyrics

Nice way to fade out.
Seems like a really solid mix to me, IMO

the animal sounds are cool....

..barefoot?......ewwww, skwooshy

I like the way the vocs spread out after the intro.... pretty.
....Not really anything to nit here... this was damn fun.
....yeah, that horse in the transition is priceless

Funny stuff. Inbreeding and humor all in one song.

Ismellelephant · #7 10-07-2003

Yes the songs a joke.
The sax is my guitar synth and the drums are just a Boss Dr770 but triggering and using the drum sounds from a Roland V-Drum module. The animals are also done with guitar synth but hooked to a Yamaha EX5R Sampling sound module.
Thanks again

hey, nice vocals and I like the piano playing, too. A little reverb on the piano maybe? Your voice reminds me of that guy from Phish a bit, but you can sing better

I would like to hear this song with more dynamic. Some volume change on the drums will give you a good start, I think.

I mean that in a good way, the lyrics and "natural" sounds. Groovin' tune.

Nice warm sound. Good singing voice. Smooth harmonies. Nice chord progression.

Melodically it sounds a lot like Elton John's "Levon" (in spots).

Lyrically OK I guess. Lots of repitition, and if you hadn't set it up I wouldn't have known what point you were trying to get across. (right-winger's head's are made of wood and the step in crap a lot right?).

Little pops at :38 and 2:37 - sounded like a cut and paste thing.

Vocal syncing issues at 1:06 and 1:42.

My thoughts...

Thanks for the input. Not a perfect thing by any means,... just poking fun.

Very clean mix. I personally didnt care for the drums. I have a DR 670

Funny song . I was born in the woods, but I wore boots man

Good work.

Funny. I don't see how people are fooled by V drums and synth sax but oh well.
I kinda hate the fake instruments so I will just avoid them altogether, they aren't the worst I've heard but I guess this was just a quick joke tune so I can relate. The progression could use some life, it needs a twist of some sort to liven it up.
The vocals are the really nice part of this song. I think they could use a bit of cut in the low mids to get them to sit better.

MISTERQCUE · #17 10-08-2003

This joint was so cleeeeeanly recorded that I could detect every nuance of your excellenty perf'd vocals. Drum's sizzled 'specially those tite-@ss hi-hat's and snare. Git was bright and well-rounded (great mic technique).

Truly hilarious,enjoyable and solid!

elephant · #18 10-09-2003

harmonies are sweet, funny schtuff

the piano and the vox are at odds tonally, piano eq high (and maybe a little too hot), vox eq muddy (next to the piano)

but hey, just a quick fun tune

enjoyed

Ismellelephant · #19 10-09-2003

Thanks to all

skids · #20 10-09-2003

Smelly Elephant,

Fun song. Nice voice and harmonies. I thought the piano was a little hot.

Enjoyable listen.

Ismellelephant · #21 10-11-2003

Thanks skids for your time

Long thread, so I'm just gonna skip the replies and listen.

Great vox and piano. Nice drum sound. Good mix. Hell, you can't ask for much more out of a song than this.

Listening to all these is giving me the itch to write something, but I'm waiting for my Cubase SX 2 upgrade. VST 5 is flaking out on me. Time to join the modern world again.

Nice, funny song. Love the pig samples! Another song that reminds me of Ween.

Great fade out.

Excellent song. I wish I had you singing on my stuff, man! Wonderful!

for the kind words...all I can say is oink oink
