I feel like I got caught cheating on a test. :(

I haven't felt this way since I used to copy off the guy beside me in school.....and if he applied himself, I could have been someone. :eek:

:D
 
He gets to record with a nice Fender amp and what does RAMI get? A one-way ticket to Palooka-ville!

You could have been a contender, RAMI. You could have been somebody!

Thread derailed....mods?
 
I thought this tune was done, but every time I think I'm out....they pull me back in!
 
RAMI said:
MJB, the part you don't care for (low vocals), is that only because it's too low in volume? If that's the only reason, then it's supposed to be like that. If it sounds "off" for other reasons, like if it's off-key or pitchy, then that's a different story.

Yeah, it just sounds off because the volume is so low.

I think the intro guitar part is exactly what you described - because its a sim, it stands out from the other guitar sound. But maybe a little EQ would fix it.

OK great, man. Thanx a lot. Yeah, I could probably EQ the guitar, but it would probably take less effort and sound better if I just re-amped it with a good sound.
 
For anyone listening to this song as of now:

I will be changing the intro guitar riff that plays throughout the tune. Thanx to everyone else's good ears, I solo'd that track and it's really sloppy, which is where it all starts. The sim sound doesn't help either.

Later today, I'll be re-recording that part, through my amp like I should have done to begin with.

Thanx you guys.
 
Good to know I wasn't the only one hearing it....I didn't really mind the tone it just sounded a little off.
 
RAMI, are you putting out an album/CD/bundle/etc of all this material you have been posting lately? I want all your music in my car on the way to work.

I see that you are redoing the one guitar part, so I am looking forward to hearing that. I don't at all dislike what I am hearing, but I know that if you say it can be better, it can be better.

In absence of that fact, this sounds remarkably good to me. It all works for me. As a whole, the song is great. Riffy, melodic, wonderfully flowing and interesting. A couple things that strike me as particularly good in both how they feel and how they sound are the drums and the bass. Great tone, and man, do you tease out a really great sense of punch in the low end here.

Killer man.

I want an album. In my car. Are you going to do it?
 
RAMI said:
Thanx a lot Steen.

Luckily, I can change that intro sound. I actually got lazy and used a sim on that riff, instead of my amp. Maybe that's the reason it stands out so much as being shrill. I don't think I've used a sim guitar sound in years and years. The good thing is I can just go in and change the sound at the touch of a button. So I will try to get a better sound out of it, or maybe I'll just use my amp like I probably should have in the first place.

Thanx alot, dude. :cool:

I'm glad someone else caught that. I'd have never said anything as I don't trust my ears so much on sim vs amp. I was thinking the same thing, just no breakup on the betweens, no grit in the right places...maybe my ears are getting better. :)

LOVE the song, man. Sounds a lot like this great band I listen to every once in a while, maybe you've heard of em. . . RAMI. I really like how you've captured the entire style of that band!
What we need are T-Shirts! On the front, I think I might be... On the back, DEFECTIVE!

That makes my day, brother. I really appreciate it. I don't ask for much out of life, but I have an obsession with people liking my music, and that includes all 18 people that might actually get to hear it. :D

I like the T-shirt idea. :D

I was using the song title as a false excuse to leave that guitar part the way it is, thinking that it sounds a little "defective". But the reality is that it should be played and sound better.

This is why I post my tunes here. I almost didn't post this one, since on my last tune, I said "this is the last re-post of an older song". But I just don't trust myself enough, and in this case, it's a damn good thing I decided to post or else that guitar part would have stayed. So, kudos to this place and you guys. :cool:
 
Just put up a new version with a new guitar riff track. I hope it's better. Let me know about the timing and whether there's too much distortion, etc....

DEFECTIVE
 
Oooh yeah, that's better to me.

I liked the intro better, which was the point, but I think the main vocal sits way better now without the old guitar tone fighting it. Great stuff. :)
 
The new guitar tone is much better. those little up-stroke pick notes have that tonal breakup I was missing...my ears are not, ... , no, I'm not going to say it...
 
Awesome, man. Thanx. Nothing like a real amp and good timing. I don't know why I treated that riff like it wasn't important considering it's the main riff of the tune. I think I was too influenced by "Oh well, the tune is called defective, so let it be sloppy". Stupid.
 
That guitar on the left sounds like it's really being punished. It's got a nice "squeak" to it.



Half way through writing this I see that there is already a newer version.

I don't know what was wrong with the first version. `-_O.O_-´ shrug
I guess that the new guitar is a bit brighter, which is nice.

I also wasn't aware that you were such a degenerate. :laughings:

I think you were listening to the new version all along. All the links in this thread have the new version, I just added a link on this page so that people wouldn't have to go back to the first post.

I was and am public enemy no.1, baby. :D
 
The placebo effect got me.

Yeah, I saw your pot leaf poster in the studio subforum. Pretty hardcore.
Do you also listen to music with swear words in it and subscribe to strange political ideologies?
