Stratomaster Glad you like the guitar sounds...miking heavy guitars and mixing them has been a challenge for me for a long time. I'm starting to understand it. Thank you.

very effective use of the pitchshifting.. You really sound like a girl in that one part!
I know...every time I hear it, I get kinda of excited...and then I realize...oh. I should have the girlfriend retrack it for me before I do something weird.
Guernica He likes it...hey Mikey! Stock on the Triton with all effects cut out. They are programmed note for note (velocitities adjusted as well) then run into Sonar where I do any panning, leveling, and EQ necessary. Each part, kick, snare, etc., is recorded to separate tracks for control. They are not sound fonts.
For now, get excited. Then, when you get your Korg, open it excitedly. Then calm the fuck down and start the rigorous learning process. This will require a bag of weed and a forgiving woman (or no woman at all). Post your first song and watch your magical midi drums receed farther and farther back into your mixes
But without a drummer, one can not be too picky, eh?
mbuster ya, you had big balls letting a total stranger sing on your tune, especially when he's not even a singer, or even cool and hip to the latest trends. Dude, did you get a Dell or something?
Sennheiser "You...you hate....you hate me..." Is that the translation of that Ramstein song? I actually liked that song in doses. Or on doses. Anyway glad you dug this. I've been going back and forth in styles lately...from bubblegum acoustic rock to someone-just-shoved-a-tree-up-my-ass-and-I'm-not-really-pleased-about-it sort of stuff. Thanks for checkin in man.

i'm not crazy about the bass sound on the clean parts, though......a little 'farty' for lack of a better word, but that would be nitpicking
Actually I agree with you, but you should have heard the track before I rolled off just about everything from 40hZ down. Anything more will expose this track for the bass imposter that it is! (Of course Chad probably wishes I did that now

)
Lt. Bob That's cool, Steve... I can't wait to read the liner notes

Thanks.
Participant Actually, this is the closest I've come to recording and mixing a convincing keyboard bass track. I'm very glad you thought it was real. I probably would have too. NOw if I can just get there with the drums too....
Strange that the guits seem to go about 50% to each side... at least that's what it sounded like on these speakrs.
I believe this is because the bass is playing the same parts in unison during the heavy verses. And since the bass is very near the center, it's sort of creating a full wall from one end to the other. I did go back after your post and push the gits to 94/97% and it seemed to help a little with that, but it doesn't bother me that much either.
I'm thinking of opening like a horny housewives phone line now that I've fooled a couple peeps with the voice overs.
Thanks for all the help guys!
