Bugger. I don't have money, studio, or connections. But I've got a sunny outlook on life and a warm personality. Doesn't that count for anything in this cynical day and age? Oh, and I live a couple of thousand miles closer to Erland than youse do. So long, suckers! ;) AB

Not exactly. :) You'd said something to the effect that Erland's stuff is very good and makes you question the quality/worth of your own stuff (I know *that* feeling :( ). Erland was basically saying it was the other way round - that your stuff inspired *him* to get a condenser mic. So the...

Sorry for the off-topic stuff, chris. ;) In this thread: http://www.homerecording.com/bbs/showthread.php?s=&threadid=73094 Erland says "its a marshal MCA or something". So there you go! AB

Haud yer wheesht means "please be quiet". (Haud is "hold") "Wheesht!" on its own can also be used to mean "be quiet" or "shut up". OK, I'll give it a go: Haw youse, pey attention the noo. These loons are loonies. Their patter's mince. Ah cannae make heid nor tail o' it, ken. Cheers AB

That wouldn't make sense. You'd have to ask "would you like ME to haud my wheesht?". Or you could tell her to haud *her* wheesht. You can't haud somebody else's wheesht. I swear I'm not maknig this up. And it's not at all rude, either. :) Cheers AB

Good work, Erland. As usual. :) The new mic is a *big* improvement - it's a much more "open" sound, and really suits your voice. Nice guitar sound too, although it defintely needs a wee bit of low cut. I like the "fragile" sound when you go for the high note - suits the song. The harmony...

Chad - thanks for posting. Glad you like the accent. :) Any ideas on how to help the bass "sit" better? My ears aren't good enough to get it any better than it is without help! You've heard the same thing as a lot of folk - the lead vocal is clearly too heavy on the low mids - I don't know...

Right guys - I hope you appreciate this. I got out of bed specially to listen to this and comment before your deadline! :) First things first - this is excellent. It was always a very strong track, but it's even better now. The drumming and bass are very solid - good work. And Chris - I...

Pete - thank you very much for your kind words. It means a lot to me. Err, no idea! Basically it's a very simple mix. The lead and main harmony vocals plus the bass, kick drum and snare drum are plumb centre. The acoustic guitars are double-tracked and hard-panned. The backing vocals are...

Erland - thank you very much for posting. I'm really glad you like it - it's kind of growing on me too. :) It's cool that you heard (and liked) some of the details, too. B.SABBATH - thank you very much for taking the time to post - I appreciate it. It's funny - you and Erland both heard U2...

Guernica - thank you for listening. I'm no bass player so I tried to keep it very simple. It's a cheap Yamaha bass into a (guitar) Pod, through a cheap Behringer desk and into an Echo Mia sound card. But it sounds OK. :) I actually did make some EQ changes to the lead vocal for the 2nd...

I love stuff like this, it's just that I can't record it convincingly! Looking forward to the next version... Cheers AB

Yeah, it's OK. Fuck. I give up. :) Fantastic work. Cheers AB

This is really good. Fantastic vocal performance. I like the idea of not interrupting the vibe, but that means it needs more light and shade. Here's my ideas, which are probably wrong: There's a weird high-ptched noise at several points - possibly a ground or interference problem with the...

WATYF - believe me, I'm terrible at accents. Sometimes I can't even do my own convincingly. Eric - thank you very much for listening, and I'm glad you like the song. You're right about the key - low D is about my limit. The problem is, the harmonies are already right at the *top* of my range...

Hi all The second version is now available at the same location as in my first post: http://www.nowhereradio.com/artists/album.php?aid=1715&alid=-1 Here's what I've done: Hihats: Gentle roll-off below 200Hz - there was much more going on down there than I expected. Wide Q 6dB cut around...

This is definitely my favourite of the stuff of yours I've heard. A lot of my comments are taste/style rather than technical - your mixing/production abilities are clearly a lot better than mine, but I hope it's useful anyway. Can hear the bass - this is good. :) Intro is excellent. Guitar...

I really like it. Cool song, very good vocal. I have a few mix comments, which may or may not be useful: I'd like to hear the voice more clearly. Turn it up a wee bit, but maybe also carve out a bit of space in the centre guitar with some gentle EQ? (By the way, how have you tuned that...

Here's an idea... Oops - duplicate post.

Here's an idea... Could we cover a song in the style of another homerecker? I want to do the Muppet Theme Tune in the style of B. Sabbath. "It's time to put on makeup..." Roar - crash - weird e-bow underwater sound Aargh - key change and double-tempo Strange drums! 5..4..3.. "...on the...
