Wow, thanks for the compliments! I'm surprised - I'm always embarrassed of my voice.
I think you're right about the trebly sound on the bass, now that I listen to it again! Time to EQ I guess! (I actually didn't EQ anything in the mix - just added reverb, soundforge wave hammer "master for 16bit", and that's it!)
I think the clicking and popping might be because it was streamed (I hope?)
The drum machine is
a Boss DR770. I programmed a custom drum kit (as custom as it can get by mixing and matching and applying effects, volume adjustment, and panning to the built-in sounds). I found out by accident that it can sound pretty interesting if I max the output volume on the DR770 just enough that it gets a little bit distorted. I think it might have too much reverb on the kit, but without it, it kind of sounds a little too robotic.
In case anyone is curious, for vocals I used a Rode NT1 upside down through an ART Tube MP preamp, mixed 70/30 with a Marshall MXL1006 rightside-up right below it (so capsules are on top of each other) straight through the 802A behringer mixer. That's the closest sound I could get to my dream mic,
the Neumann TLM103!
For the guitar, I used a marshall 603 small diaphragm condenser about 4 feet from my Mesa Boogie DC5 amp, and used a semi hollow body Ibanez
Artstar guitar through a phaser pedal. Lightly compressed on the RNC.
The bass was
an Ibanez GSR200 cheapy ($200) straight through a SANSAMP DI box ($160), with fast attack and slow release on the RNC compresser.
Thanks again for the reply, VI!
Anybody else have any comments? Please feel free!
