Well, it looks like Lt. Bob and Erichenryus are aboard to add their expertise on this one. I can't wait! I love doing these collaborations!
TripleM--YES! I knew that the first word was toasted there. I heard it as I was getting the AIFF done, but it was too late to fix at that point. I will go back and adjust that and a few other things. Good ear!
Chessrock--Now that my laughter has been controlled, I added a testimonial to the BBTTE thread--just to let people know its true power. How many orders do we HAVE so far?
Lt. Bob--You move so fast, doing so many things, I think its me thats 40 steps behind!
Museman--On this particular song, I ended up using the ol' SM57 for the vocal. I went through a few mics and nothing sounded "rock and roll" enough for me. I figured (demented logic) that the 57 is good enough for Tom Petty, I should give it a shot. I actually really like the 57 for vocals, especially when I'm pushing it. On softer songs, a LD condenser is better, but I used to use a 57 for everything when it was all I had. Its really a great mic! I did use a pop filter.
boydrj--Thank you, and you are welcome! What makes this BBS so damn cool is that there is real sharing going on. If I don't know something, somebody else usually does. The exchange on music and the recordings is invaluable IMO. I was lost at sea on this song, and I got so much right on evaluation that it pushed it closer to where it should be. I still have new tracks coming and a final remix to do, but I would have pitched this song without the members encouragement. Homerec is really an oasis in the desert.
WATYF--I gotta check out the end there. Except for the kick, it was all quantized MIDI, so I just ASSUMED it was OK. I didn;t catch it, but Lt. Bob and a couple others did. Another thing to tweak! Thanks for the ears!
V3 waits....
