Cranky One - WOW!! After hearing your tunes, that is a comment and a half!

thanks... I think you hear the heavy part differently than most around here because you actually listen to heavier music like I do... Your comments have great impact.... As far as the drums, I played drumpads hooked up to a Roland TD-8. I punched several times...it took me well over 100 takes to play the drum beats.... I originally recorded the guitar to different drum machine beats. I then muted the drum machine beat, and played drums along to just the guitars.... I added synth bass after for some reason....I think because I have to intonate my bass, and i was tooo lazy to do it at that time.... I didn't compress the drums at all... I just kept looking for sounds in the module until I set up a kit that sounded halfway decent.... some people did not like the drum sound, but I thought it was the best i did so far.... and I'm not 100% happy with it, but I saved the settings... I'm playing with some new sounds right now that sound o.k. I'm suprised you werent made sick by the mellow vocals.....I was really confused (as usual) about what sounded passable... There was no new gear on this tune, except that I borrowed a nylon string guitar from a friend.... I really appreciate the comments... I will bump your 'too much' thread when I finally hook up with my buddy. I have spoken to him several times about it already, and he has the vocals down for 'Tyrant'.... the guy does a lot of drugs sometimes, so he's a little flaky when it comes down to setting an actual time and day.... he does want to do it though, and i want to hear it. As soon as it's happening, I'll bump your thread. Unless you have a new song up......So get a new tune up so I can be reminded once again, that my stuff does not sound as good!!
mr.wilson - thanks for the listen. You didn't like the vocals because they suck.

Your ears are telling you the truth.
muzeman - thanks man. The mic was an 'EV'...a cheap one i think...I bought it off a friend for 20 bucks.

I think I rrrrrrrrreally need a new one. I also sang through
a Digitech Vocal 300, and ran that through
a Blue Max compressor and then through a BBE. I appreciate the comments dude

- funny stuff as usual! Appreciate the comments, but you know that.........I have an idea.....from now on, you can sum up your comments to, *vocals - good or bad, mix - good or bad*.

That will save you the trouble of having to repeat your advice over and over just because it can't penetrate my thick skull...

BTW, Cranky One liked the drums!!

Thanks for lending me your ears dudes
