Yeah - tele on one side and LP on the other - I'm sure you can tell which is which. I've done a bit of nudging on various words and some vocal envelope riding as well. And a bit more EQ carving on the guitars. Thanks for the ears! ;)

Thanks Trip - I've moved the bass a bit as suggested - and definitely a mic technique problem - I have none! - although it could have been way worse - I was very aware of trying to keep the levels constant-ish and this one and was weaving at the mic like a punch drunk boxer in the end. So it's...

Thanks for the listen - the drums are Steven Slate Platinum 4. As far as the structure goes, this and a couple of other shorter tunes will be counterpoint for some of the other, longer tunes which will make their way eventually onto the planned album - trust me, there's no shortage of musical...

No, that's the title of the tune, not a teaser about the Clinic, really... :) Are You Listening? Continuing my latest theme of simpler instrumentation and song structure, shorter length etc. Blame the Telecaster. :eek: Any and all comments welcome. Thanks in advance... Are You Listening...

I've got a Canon 6D DSLR which also does video but the times I've used it for this I've preferred the handycam - possibly because I've not understood how to get the best out of it - it does have the advantage of manual focusing instead of autofocus only, which can be a bit of a pain on moving...

The LP was $4k, which will seem a lot to an American but stuff is expensive here and that was a good price for brand new. We also earn more to balance it out plus I got a nice longevity bonus from work that I wanted to memorialise some way. Mid life crisis guitar. Video was a Sony handycam I've...

How did you spend your $200?:laughings:

Thanks Chili - other parts? There's only one other part which is just there in bits to pad out the song around the verse/chorus structure... ---------- Update ---------- Thanks Johnny

It's a shame to use the others for firewood, but I guess no-one would actually buy them... ;)

I didn't miss it, but probably I'd forgotten it by the time I'd read through all the posts. Apologies for my insensitivity. It was a general theme I've been building on lately - how not to do dumb shit - generally happens when people assume they don't have to pay attention to things and get...

Learn not to knock stuff over... it's a micro-discipline worth investing some time in. I have whatever I want in my studio because I don't knock shit over because I taught myself not to - engage fully with the beverage.:eek:

Says the man with 27 Hagstroms... :eek: In hindsight, I don't think that guitar is actually on the track, unless it's doing the extra bit. I had a Tele on one side and a PRS Custom 22 on the other - the LP was giving me grief at the time... hope you're well and back to your old annoying self...

As a baby's bum... If it was anything but an exercise in filming something I may well have done that - there's only one other part anyway, and it's mostly not there. Thanks for watching. Thanks CC Jeez TAE, kill me now if I ever do a song featuring cowboys!:D:D:D But glad it got your...

I bought a US Elite aged cherry burst about six months ago - my first Tele - and it completely changed my musical direction. Seriously... It's the guitar I should have bought 10 years ago.

Your PM box is full, Robus. Yes but not right now, was the answer. Away from the studio for another 48 hours or so...

I was mucking around trying to work out my video camera and editing software and lighting and what have you, and ended up playing along with a semi-finished unmixed tune awaiting singing, as part of the exercise. Then I thought for all the time we spend on recording and sound and amps and mic...

Hey Robus - personally I think a lot of people mix their drums too loud. I slip my songs in amongst recorded and released tunes from commercial artists using similar instrumentation quite a lot when I'm driving around and generally I don't hear that they're too soft compared to other tunes -...

I did, after doing that re-balancing I was talking about. I usually only ever run a single mix here. ;)

Thanks Mick - Jimmy reckons it's his PC, but you're right, there was a right side emphasis, which I did a bit of nudging on this morning - never thought of swapping ears on the cans!:)

Ha ha.... interestingly I got all forensic with it and there was a slight right side emphasis on a few things, so I dove in and did a bit of rebalancing, then checked the individual guitar tracks in particular and there is one on the right which maybe has a clip or two - somehow - I did the...
