maximising equipment

[CyanJaguar]

I just learned today that its not really the equipment but the user.

A fellow student came in and made a hard track using just the jv1010, and I was like, GOSH , I didnt know my jv1010 could sound like that.

Anyhow, just jv1010 and the vocals with blueberry with no eq(except in the first verse.

Hey...I'm a roland fan too...bought the xp50 when it came out, and have 5 expansion cards now too...great sounds.

clean, clear vocals....hear that GEC?? those sound good....
damn potty mouth, though....shit..was a fucker to do?? ha!!

[Gidge]

great production again...i just wanted the vocal to be BIGGER......

[CyanJaguar]

Hey, Gidge, I have posted a vocal mix. I thought the vox was a bit low too.

MAn, I used to love the sm58 on vocals, but when I hear the smoothness of this condenser I get excited.

No compression on the track or eq. One thing I like is that everything sounds more coherent because I only used one reverb.

Thanks for the comment. THat makes me happy, even though I wanting to get much better.

[Gidge]

yeah better...so i burnt a CD and lsitened on my little home stereo and i think the low end may need some tightening up......if i keep the eq curve where i have it for songs of this genre, the bass seems to be break up a bit....maybe someone with better judgement can offer up some info...im still learning the low end on my ProtoJ's.....

now that the vocal is louder, wash his mouth out with soap.....

Nice Cyan. Massive bass.. I'd have to 'tape' it to MD and take it out to my Dynaudios to really hear what's going on down there..

The rap is DAMN good, tho I think you should compess it a bit.

..and.. that flute's gotta go...

[CyanJaguar]

hey gidge,

thanks. The low end is quite flabby. I think its the particular sound we used. I tried to compress it but I was not getting anywhere.

Meshuggah, thanks
The vocal needs compression, or to be redone, or both. THe guy was drunk and insited on doing the verses in one take, not that I minded. I hate punching in phrase by phrase. I think the reason its so smooth is because I did not use plugins though.

very good for one synth alone?
drums also from that one?
cheers

[CyanJaguar]

yep istyle,

everything came from that half-rack jv1010
