Hey Greg, The setup was Snare - Shure Beta 57 Hi-hat - Studio Projects B1 Kick - AKG D112 Toms/Fl Tom - Shure Beta 57 OH - APEX 180's Room - AKG C3000 The raw tracks are awesome.... any substandard sound is coming from my lack of experience. Oh ya, its doubtful that I would have a chance to...

Great idea... I generally do use a reference but for some reason I haven't done this yet... Now then, just need to track down a good reference drum track. :D Any suggestions?

Man, all I can hear is drums. I'm finding it difficult to get them to sit right. The verb sound is probably the room mic's turned up a bit too much. I seem to be focusing a lot on the drums. Maybe I just have to walk away from these songs for a bit. This is the first time I've tracked real drums...

Hey all, many of you suggested that we get rid of the drum machine in our tunes and track some real drums. With that being said, this is exactly what we did. If any of you get a chance to check out our EPK I would really appreciate it. You can find our EPK here...

Here's a YouTube vid of us doing Eye of the Tiger. We did this as a tribute to our dear friend Frank Scott who passed away of cancer last year. He was quite ill at the time so we really only had one evening to put this together. He passed away 2 days later...

As much as I hate to hear anything bad about our songs, it really is better (IMO) to receive negative feedback as long as it is sincere and as long as it is being reviewed by someone in the "know". The trick is to be able to ignore comments that are subjective. It is possible to get a lot of...

... or GuitarRig or my POD XTL. And that folks brings us back up to the top of this thread. Maybe I'm just using modelling incorrectly in which case I'll have to learn somehow how to make it sound better. People seem to be able to see (or hear I guess I should say) right through it.

Hahaha, (I'm chuckling 'cause his writing style is pretty entertaining). I've read it before and lost the link. Thanks for the link. I'll give it another read.

Hey JasonBird, I can't offer anything are far as the production goes as I'm listening on crappy speakers right now at work. With that being said it still sounded great. I love the vocals. She's got a great voice. I only had a chance to listen to My Give a Damn is Busted but I found it to be a...

Hi drossfile, ok, I tried to mic the back of the cabinet and ya, well that sucked. I used a 57 and tried a few different positions but the results were always way too heavy in the low end. All it seemed to do was make mud of the bass track. It didn't do anything to fatten up the sound. I think...

Thanks drossfile. I'm going to try exactly that on Monday. We have been messing around with a similar technique and got pretty good results. We only have one amp to work with and that is a Traynor YCV40 which does sound good in the room. I have a 57 and a Studio Projects B1. I'll try to build up...

Thanks for the feedback. Pinky - yes we're heavily influenced by Floyd (as well as Nightwish and Evanescence). Probably even more so now that our band all went to the Roger Waters show last night. drossfile - I'm going to see about re-tracking the guitars, this time by mic'ing an amp. It's a...

...bump. Anyone else?

Thanks for listening and commenting HangDawg. Ya the electrics are modelled (POD) and this is an area that we are strugglng with. We tried tracking with a Mesa Recording Pre but couldn't get the sounds we were looking for out of it. I guess we will have to get off our asses and re-track using...

Hey all, I'm really hoping to finally put this song to rest. I believe that I have taken care of all the major issues but I could certainly use some help with the minor ones. Hopefully someone will have the time to listen and provide feedback. I would greatly appreciate it. The song can be...
