Thanks, JDOD for the suggestion. I will check out The Holy Bible. I haven't listened to Nirvana in a long time. The Best of the Box was probably the last album of theirs that I listened to regularly for some time. The more I think about it, those songs and early demos appealed to me more than...

I want to know what particular albums, you guys consider as "good" reference for mixing punk and rock songs. Some says that there were alot of badly mixed (or recorded) punk albums from the 80's like Husker Du or Black Flag (not really sure about these examples actually, maybe someone here can...

I know. I like that song and the lyrics parody. I'll put your version probably behind John Cale's. But the best version of that song would always be the one found on the movie "Watchmen" :D (if you know what I mean).

So I guess you should change your lyrics then to "I heard there was a barre chords, that David played and it pleased the Lord"? (not sure if I remembered them correctly) Will watch this video, and probably the movie as well. Thanks.

I'm not sure. But I heard he's got some of his fingers cut off, hence the use of power chords. :drunk:

LOL. I was thinking the same question regarding power chords. Did it originate from Tommy Iommi? Then later used in punk rock and later metal?

I'm no expert on this but I love it as it is now. You should take into consideration that all the suggestions here are preferential. Maybe the band was aiming for a "lofi" or "indie-rock" or less polished sound (i.e. Pavement, Archers of Loaf) vs. the more polished commercial type of sound (i.e...

wow! this is gold - very informative (I'm sorry to the OP for keeping it off track). One more Ramones die hard here. I just watched Blitzkrieg Bop from It's Alive. When Johnny changes chords from A to D - is that what you mean? Btw, it's funny that what drew me to punk rock then was my...

How about, "The Governator" for a nick? :listeningmusic: or shorten it to "jaeger".

+1. Nothing much to add here. I think the mix - vocals not so upfront - fits the style, "indie-pop", "twee-pop". I might be wrong there, but I'm sure it's a great song.:listeningmusic:

this is cool. what DM60 said, add more "bass" to it.

i like both of them. never knew the originals. i guess the "more than three strings" chords worked well on MPFM. the second version is better. you were right about the snare tho.

so it'll most probably work then. thanks.

Well, there's this guy who do not recommend using sm57 with a certain interface. Amazon.com: T. Cox's review of PreSonus AudioBox USB 2x2 USB Recording In... But I guess, "too quiet" there is both relative and subjective. I was thinking maybe someone here has used us-100 with sm57 and I like...

Thanks, Dave. The unspecified dynamic is low-end AT-X11. I'm using it for vocals and guitar amp and I getting enough level. I just ask because I'm planning to upgrade to sm57/58. I read that they're really quiet, and wondering if my AI have enough gain for them. Can you suggest other mic in...

I'm currently using US-100 with a dynamic mic and planning to get sm57 or 58. But I'm not sure if my interface has enough gain for sm57/58. Here's a snapshot of the US-100 manual. I read that shure dynamic mic requires 60dB. I'm not sure which value to look for in the manual? Is it the Nominal...

Thanks, man. By clean, did you mean it's lacking distorted/fuzzy guitars?

That's it. I think you mentioned somewhere, "extended jam", and originally I was gonna say, it felt short for a "jam" song - under 4 minutes (?). Anyway, I wouldn't question the decision why you cut it short. But just to throw some thoughts, I like some sort-of 'extended jam' songs myself...

mastered loud, i'm not sure. but loud? i guess it is. i was just listening to other stuff here. and it's the loudest. cool song though.

First, I'm no expert in mixing yet. Second, I'm using pc speakers, so...I'll echo Bubba po's comments. I was also waiting for something to grab me - a high point - near the end of the song in the same way that the bass parts did early on. I'm not sure if the "i get back with insolence" plus the...
