388 song

[A Reel Person]

Ok since everyone else is playing 388 songs...

Herm,
This track rocks! I've always considered it a very ambitious undertaking, just instumentally it has a lot going on. Sure, it's not finished, but you have enough there that it's nearly there, and conveys the message beautifully.

Aaww, c'mon. Let it loose and scream for those high parts! Stand on your toes! Sing it up toward the cieling with e'thing you've got! Thrust the breath up from your feet and to the sky!

PS: We've always been on the same page, musically. (It's an age-thing!) Some day we should do that 388-collab that we've always talked about!

PSII: I also have one work-in-progress on the 388 that maybe I'll finish or post as-is, as yet TBD.

Dave Il have to try and sing it in the next couple of days.
When I started recording it I had just quit smoking and there was no way I was going to be able to hit the high parts. Now that its been a year since a smoke maybe I can hit those parts. Or maybe I should send the tape your way
When ever your ready to do a collab I am there.

Yup, the unmistakable 388 sound! Nice job Gary!

TIGHT drums, nice guitar ... overall very good and tight mix. I dig the dry sound. I hear no room reverb leakage so you prob have a nice dead space for recording. It has the sound that I like.

Somehow that single overhead mic captured a nice "meshing" of the "drum sound". I always liked the minimalist mic'ing techniques and it shines here.

I vote for "as is". 'Cmon, Dave, let us take a peek at your work in progress!

In the spirit of the moment, here's a more recent mix of my song with keys.

How long until we hear the finished article?

Where is Jeff?

Is Jeff doing the vocals?

Very nice, although I would tame the bass a bit. It's overwhelming in the low frequencies, too "in your face". Otherwise an excellent take my friend and a reminder that skills and talent + the 388 can produce fine recordings indeed!

Balanced xlr out on the 388->E-mu 1212m trs in. Nothing too fancy. I hope I'm not losing too much going through that card.

My future plan is mixing to tape and taking the pc out of the equation.

I use an emu for the soundcard to go from my c61604 to my pc, and it sounds great. Great value, I got mine for like 70 bucks!

I think I only have 6. eek:

What up!

I should note that the first link [Moonage Daydream] was recorded with the dbx "OFF",... (quite by accident I assure you). Anyway, that's a significant detail about the sound production of this cut that I thought I'd try not forget to mention it. All the others cuts were recorded with dbx "ON", as is the recommendation & my usual practice.
