Hey fellas,
I posted one of these songs on the recording techniques page a couple of weeks ago, obviously in the wrong place. So I waited a week or two and twiddled my thumbs and drank a beer or two and posted three more songs and now humbly submit them to whatever comments ye may have.
I understand fully that Garbage In=Garbage Out. And a lot of this could be considered garbage. We were working under limited conditions and time constraints, and this is what we came up with ---> myspace.com/redquiet. All of the recordings were done over two nights in the basement of the art gallery where I work, which is a rectangle with concrete floors.
We recorded all of the tracks live, doing about three or four takes per piece. And we had to set up/take down everything after each night, so it seriously cut into the time we had. I was forced to check levels etc using headphones, which is why I was not surprised that a little bit of clipping showed up when I play them at home.
It was all recorded on 2 tracks. Guitar with a SM57, Retarded Guitar was DI, Recorderman Method with two overhead condensers on the upside down buckets, and the vocals through some audix p.o.s., handheld, because the singer refuses to put the thing on a stand.
There are mistakes up and down the whole thing, but I do think that it has a certain energetic feel to it, in any case. It's fun, at the very least.
Comments/Suggestions would be HUGE.
rock on.
