Lost Cause
Just wondered if anybody would be interested in playing with mixing and mastering something.

We've got some rough demos on NWR http://www.nowhereradio.com/artists/album.php?aid=2045&alid=-1

but since doing them we've improved our performances quite a lot.

I think what I have in mind is recording all the tracks dry and flat (onto my VF80), and letting anybody who is interested have them as .wav files. That would be too much for the internet but I could burn them all onto a CD and put them in the post (no problem mailing to the US - I'm in England).

I am a newbie but have no problem getting takes up to near 0 without clipping. Would have both mic'd and DI'd gits and bass, drums off a DR770. With vocals I seem to be getting nice results with an ambient mic (in addition to the usual close one!) which captures the nice natural reverb we have in our room. Obviously that would be a separate track which you could use or discard.

Would do this over the Christmas break, if anybody is interested. Guess you would have to like retro blues

:)
 
Sounds interesting. I would like to give it a try, if you don't mind a kraut messing with your music. What do you expect of it, BTW?

Ah, Germany, home of the blues. I may have got that wrong actually.

Yes, it would be great to have a Teutonic take on it.

As for what I expect, well absolutely no preconceptions; I thought it might be fun for those who are into production rather than playing to have something fresh to experiment with, and we might get a better finished product than I could manage (which, as challenges go, is on a par with a trip to the local shop).

Hope to have the takes ready by first week in Jan; if you pm me your address I'll post a CD.

BTW I've been experimenting with the ambient mic on the output from the drum machine. I ran the track through a subwoofer and mic'd that; playing back both tracks sounds just like it's a pub gig.
 
I'm quite surprised that no one else is interested, since there have been some request here on the bbs, asking for raw tracks to be used for some sort of mixing contest. I would have guessed that these people would really appreciate someone who sends his raw tracks around. So where are these guys? Hello?
Anyway, I'm gonna send you a pm, watch out.
 
Well, I can understand a lack of interest if our very retro kind of music is not too popular, and also probably recording on the VF80 might not sound high quality enough to interest people.

Perhaps when I post my own effort on the MP3 clinic shortly somebody else might take pity on me and have a go:D
 
I'll give it a shot if ya like mate, and I'm not far either. drop me an email if ya want :)
