The most important thing that they all learnt, first up, before any audio skills, was to put a space after the full stop with their sentences. I feel that this is what's holding you back.
I hate Gibson acoustics with a passion. I don't even care what they sound like. All that overblown woodwork and silly flowery scratch plate detail makes me want to smash them.
I'd go Martin, Taylor, Maton (not that you'll find them anywhere near you) any day before a Gibson. As jimistone points...
OK, so you lost it a bit pitchwise when it got up high, and you have no breath control or understanding of when to breathe and when not to, and how to phrase well, but you've got a voice and you knew when to sing and when not to sing and your rhythm was pretty OK. Plenty of people hereabouts, me...
I think you've put this one up too early - I'm hearing lots of clicks and pops and incidental noises that I'm sure you'll track down - probably just normal stuff in the lead vocal track - but they're a bit of a distraction. I'd solo that track and get automating. The mix itself sounds OK - I've...
I'm still with the basics - although one of my favourite uses is rolling a LPF down slowly at the end of a ringing note, chord, whatever at the end of a song to dull any hiss that might be present..
Apart from that vol, pan, EQ, turning shit on and off...
"Lying" sounds a little iffy, otherwise good. Could just be the doubling thing you do. Hard to tell.
FWIW I think there's also a slight tuning/intonation issue with the guitar that comes in when it gets very quiet, just before it picks up again - 2.40 - 2.50.
GE are still trundling along as you know - I actually bought their last album "Tits 'n' Ass" on CD (I'm not sure if they've done another since, perhaps they have). I much prefer their 70s stuff, in particular Moontan (of course) and the first live album, but Tit's 'n' Ass is not bad for what it...
I'm reading that Jan Akkerman has a recording studio not far from 42low.
Always loved that Hocus Pocus solo - awesome - but then I'm a huge Golden Earring fan as well who wanted to be George Kooymans when I grew up. Still waiting... :laughings:
Oh yeah.... monitors.
The thing I've always...
LOL - thanks RFR. The reverb on the main guitars is "printed" so I'm stuck with it - more an effect than a reverb/space thing - and it was an artistic choice - that said, all the other reverbed tracks, which is basically the vocals and a teensy bit on the kit are using a big big space...
Oh wow - this escalated.:laughings:
Dude! Serious overreaction.
So...
(1) You caused the misunderstanding over cymbals/hi-hats by, somehow intentionally misunderstanding the comment about them being too loud. We can all tell the difference between a handclap sample and hi-hat. You knew what...
Hi hats are cymbals, FYI
Pop @ 0.03
Some type of glitch in your MIDI patch @ 0.04
You've got a fair bit of low end build up as has been mentioned. Try HPFing the guitar and the MIDI strings a little to clear it up
Hi-hats are a little sharp for my ears
Those single word backing vocals are too...
Thanks magoo.
The drummer has a little Guatemalan slave boy called Juan who is tasked to stand by the ride cymbal and bell it in a couple of spots. If he rushes or drags, he's beaten.:D He's paid $10 a month, which he sends back to his family, despite the fact that they sold him in the first...
