it's enjoyable unpretentious music.

Also, you'd be surprised but I've heard some amateur '60s recordings where someone went overboard with the reverb as well! In fact wasn't there a phil spector single with Tina turner from 1966ish that had so much plate 'verb that the song actually flopped because nobody could understand the...

haha well here I tried again. Itook some more reverb off (although I love the oldies) and did the 5k thing. I realized the drums sounded painful so I had to kill off a buncha highs. That's the thing with digital....you have to kill WAY more highs than on analog setup I've found! Of course, my...

the bass guitar was mic'd with an '60s AKG d12. It was mic'ng a 15" speaker

Ok well I appreciate the attempts to help means a bunch...thanks for the repeated listens to help. comes a point when you get sick of hearing the same thing over and over! so then I did try a remix for the two tracks and I'm afraid I just stink lol. There's limitations on the recording, and I...

I hope that doesn't offend anyone, or seem contrived. I really love that way old mixers sound, and I don't see why I should not be allowed to achieve that sound simply because it was used in the past. It begs the question what really is the past anyway? Just a non important thing we might put...

Make amends is a good message. I believe that's what I'm hearing. I really dig it.

Thanks, but how am I supposed to fix it? The drums are stereo so I can't really get to just the hi-hat alone, and what should I be bringing up in terms of the bass department? The bass guitar itself?? I gotta tell ya, I really suck at this lol. Just when I think I have a good mix going I put...

But I saw marliyn manson live April 27 1997 at the Ft wayne memorial Colosseum and I do not remember them playing this song! I thought I knew every song. Is this a total re-work? Like I said I still enjoy it I just am curious

hey everybody happy new year! I've been writing a bunch of music lately, and it felt really good cause about at the end of recording any frustrations and anger I had got converted to happiness. But once I called the songs done I got blue because I thought to myself, what am I supposed to do with...

Strange, because I was a Marilyn Manson fanatic in 1997. I knew this song well. But upon hearing it on the forum, I find that I don't recognize this! Sounds good anyway though. The only change I'd think to make would be to add a snare that really cracks through. Vocals sound great

ah bite me with your goofy striped shirt already

You're right. I am depressed! All I do is smmaoke weed and sit alone with my headphones making music. It's making me sad. And when I go out to the city it's a worse story. I can't keep up with the crowd. Sometimes I wish I would do better in the '60s.........yes.....or is that also a dream? I...

I have to be honest. I think something or someone put a curse on me. I have come to this forum to share some recordings I made because I'm really just lonely and can't believe I have no one who cares to listen to some of the music I recorded. Year after year it gets worse when I thought it would...

Hiya! This is the one time a reel to reel has failed me that I actually felt relived - I now know that I can afford to have it repaired. Problem one - sometimes doesn't want to rewind! It seems that if I hit stop while it is playing and then rewind, it doesn't bother...seems to chug and slowly...

lonewhitefly.....AWESOME room. My mouth hangs open.

okay rhoades I get you now.....well, good luck replacing your old system. M5s and 80-8s are easy to come by, dime a dozen...even though i lust for the old old stuff, your gear now must be incredible. lonewhitefly - glad to see someone actively getting old sounds. I too have a specific fetish...

one man's dog urine is another's gatorade. please post samples when you get it..

lonewhite - awesome sounding recordings....I take it you don't have NR? I still think they sound gutsy.....the four track machine you have is transistorized, no? mixing down to the small deck might be fun for some things, but it's mono and just stack the noise up, which is something I hate...

Richard King, I have to say I'm fairly disappointed to see that every single posting/song you put up is unavailable. I'm always dying to hear recordings made on 80-8 in the '70s. Very sad to see all of this stuff is taken down. Why? I hope you're reading this...
