No you probably can't pull together a band unless you know a drummer and a bass player that are willing to give it a shot. No offense but guitar players are a dime a dozen. There are tons of "bands" on craigslist looking for drums and bass. Those "bands" are really just a couple of guitar...
You are tightening up too much. Stay relaxed. When you tighten your vocal chords to strain and scream you hurt them. Also don't hold back let it out full volume if you don't fully commit it ends up hurting.
There are lots of youtube videos about screaming techniques.
The type of vocals you...
Don't charge by song charge by the hour. Otherwise you could spend days working one one track and end up making $0.05 and hour. Make your hourly rate what your time is worth to you.
Cell phones out of the studio!:mad:
I hate em enough as it is but when they interrupt me while I'm doing my second favorite thing in the world I want them destroyed.
In previous bands I was in there were members that would stop and walk out of the room in the middle of a song to take a phone...
I use these for tracking and I love em. http://www.itrstudio.com/moreme.html
The earbuds are interesting though. I use a couple of pairs of sony earbuds covered with a pair of industrial earmuffs for tracking drums. For $30 they're worth a shot. I could use some new headphones for my MP3 player...
Pretty cool. I dig the song and the playing is pretty tight too. Video is great for a basement DIY deal.
The only thing that bothered me was the girl pants. Just watching you guys made my sack hurt.:eek:
I hear that. Up until recently I was working in a spare bedroom that doubled as an office. Not much I could do with it. Last year my brother bought a house with a 20 x 30 basement rec room. I moved all my treatment and gear over there and I'm loving the results I'm getting in a nice big well...
No problem dude, I totally understand. I'm a PC tech by trade so obviously I'm a PC guy and I've been buying and selling on ebay and craigslist for the better part of a decade so I'm pretty comfortable with the ins and outs of buying used gear. If that route isn't for you that's cool, to each...
I love me some templates. :D
Now that the studio is pretty much all wired up and most of the mics are set permanently I can be ready to track the entire band live in about 10 minutes and all of that is checking that mics are plugged in a placed properly. Reaper only takes two clicks.
I love...
