Right, complete newbie to all this, been trying to spend a little money on a little cheap gear over the last few months so I can finally record a few basic demos.
So, with my ultra cheap basic set up, I thought I'd post a really quick song I threw together a little while ago, just to see if you chaps think I'm going in the right direction?
The drums are loops from DrumWerks, it's all I could afford, and is OK for a basic backing track. Using Garageband for recording and mixing as it didn't cost me anything.
Everything else is me, acoustic guitar recorded through a Behrigner C1 and preamp, and bass through a Line 6 POD.
I haven't done a huge amount messing with anything, just a light EQ on the acoustic, and some compression on the drum samples.
I'm having problems getting the drums to sit in the mix. I know this is an inherant problem with pre recorded samples, but does anyone have any tips for using these kinds of samples in a mix?
Anyway, any thoughts, advice would be gratefully received.
