Hey Dumby, I had a listen to Slog and Displaced Aggression. I used headphones for the first time on my new 1 month old computer (in fact this is the first computer I've had that can handle songs off a website
), anyway my computer speakers are tinny and the headphones had a low bass hum (earth?) messing up the sound so I couldnt make an informed comment about how your master really sounds.
I havent figured out how to download an MP3 and burn it to CD yet
so I didnt listen to it through the studio monitors. Can a downloaded MP3 sound the same as your original master ~ do you loose much in MP3 compression?
Anyway, from what I could pickout, the bass guitar has a nice edgy gnarl to it ~ like an angry Fender Precision. I liked the 3rd guitar harmonies in Slog. The drums sounded a bit loose though ~ no offence. I've never done a studio kit mic up and only a couple of basic live drum mic ups (My live sound engineer skills are a bit average
~ sometimes the band is justified blaming the soundman
). I try and find sample loops that fit my songs ~ unfortunatley I often have to compromise the original idea to fit the song to the loops. Sometimes it's better than my first idea, sometimes not. Dont have any sample editing programmes yet.
I saw the photo of the electronic kit ~ did you use that? If not, you got a sweet bass drum sound from your mic.
What's your thoughts on the GR33? I borrowed one for a couple of months and found it useful for synth pads but had trouble with piano sounds (even after adjusting sensitivity and player type) because there was a tiny time delay so I was inconsistant with timing ~ often had to use the cut and paste function on cord stabs to move them into time.
Have you found an analyser to use with your BR yet? I still havent tried the Penguin Meter programme. Regards ~ Frambo out
