HRC: Khompy's turn

[Llarion]

Very cool! I like the multiple you thing. Gives you a little delay effect with no effects!

Cute intro. Keep it.

Cheers!

very nice work. would fit nicely with a stool and open mic 'bout anywhere. The vocal clarity was way impressive here. Sm57 and a radio shack mic? sounds real good.

Hey, very nice -

I love the vocal sound!!

Did you sing two tracks or did u just double it??

thats not really falsetto is it??

Its great, i like the guitar tuning.

Each take was recorded 2 tracks at a time, but in some places the vox are doubled and even tripled so it's up to 6 tracks (3 takes) all together.

I'm pretty sure that's falsetto but now I'm wondering since you're the second to ask.

 

[wfaraoni]

Nice Job! The only thing Id like to hear is some percussion, also the Guitar seems a bit muddy especially after just listening to that Jeff Marcomb tune. I did not hear the hum or buzz but I'm the deaf guy Overall pretty nice tune, cool vocals
Peace
Bill

haha...love the beginning. "Just kidding..."


Good vocal doubling...it's pretty tricky ain't it?

This is a very cool song man! It would be fun to blow this all out of porportion. Real big like. Halfway through maybe. I don't mean just bringing some heavy guitars and drums in though. Some other instruments with that acoustic guitar as the glue.
I just realized that's pretty much what I do, so I apologize for projecting my own bullshit on you. It doesn't actually need it.

I think I would prefer to have the guitar doubled and panned, with the vocals kept closer together on the sound stage. I like the "hey's" around 5:40. Nicely placed...I did catch that this was pre HRC.

Good stuff man...nicely different.

Cool tune!
Great sound from those two mikes,what pre did you use?

The contrast between the minimal acoustic and the big vocals/fine melody make it really interesting.
Could have gone on forever,enjoyably.

Your a really good singer man!
I dug the lyrics.

[W.I.S.C.]

A wise guy,eh?!This has a great raw sound and energy to it.I think it may have been better without doubling your voice so much.Bring up the guitar,too.I didn't read any of the other replies so I may be repeating things you know already...so sue me!I hear these wierd thing in the background.Like a click track that's not in time,done on a hi hat.Maybe I'm just crazy.I like the chords and melody,coulda been a bit shorter,too.A guitar solo maybe to break up the monotony.But the overall song is real cool.Nice harmonies and chord progressions.Good take too.The ending sequence with the multi voices and the round type feel your getting is really working well.Nice feeling and clarity of emotion.Nice work.

Sorry peeps.. i didn't mean to exhume this but flat has been giving me etiquette (sp?) edikit?? .. whatever .. etiquit lessons and I wanted to rectify this. My apologies people.

W.I.S.C - Thanks WISC yeah I was shocked when they told me about that click in the background. It was a weird issue with Cakewalk sending signal to two different soundcards simultaneously. What does W.I.S.C stand for?

muze - Thank you. I am using an Aardvark20/20 for the pre. I liked the dual XLR or 1/4 inch inputs and the built in phantom power (although I have no mic yet that uses phantom, here's to hoping one day) and the virtual console software. What I don't like is the software mixer / compressor / eq that it comes packaged with are awful. I won't use em, but the reverb however is good if you want to add some to help you get into the song more while tracking. I don't have enough experience with other cards to know whether I'm hurting or helping myself here.

SluiCe - Yeah I admit there's a lot you could do with this. I guess I wanted to keep this as true to my open mic performance as possible. I really stuck to that at the end . Thank you, see you at HRC #3.

wfaraoni - Thanks wf. There was this guy Pete who used to come down and play the congos with me sometimes. He always added soooo much to my sets. I'm gonna have to get him in front of a mic one day.

yiordanki - Thank you for your comments and listen. I got to your questions in an earlier post.

Toki987 - Thank you toki, yeah i'm not so depressed anymore about only having those two mics. It forces me to get more creative but it's not the end of the world.

Llarion - I'm wondering about that intro. If anyone outside the clinic hears it they're probably going to be like "WTF??". Thanks for the listen.

Gidge - Thank you man of highest post count i've ever seen. Yeah if you don't have one of those Pantera voices you gotta make do.

Track Rat - Yup I laid on the verb thick at the end. This was before I learned how to not do destructive edits in cakewalk. Live and learn. Thanks for your listen and comments.

erichenryus - Thank you erichenryus. Yup i since rectified that guitar panning. It's that weird cakewalk bug. It keeps resetting my faders and pans to certain "ghost snapshots". I will clear the event list 100 times and scour my tracks for 0 size samples and STILL I find these jumps in there. It usually starts happening for me after I hit 25 tracks.

Meshuggah - Thank you Mesh. Yep I didn't know that clicking was in there. I'm pretty deaf.

Jamal Bucket - Haha! Thank you Jamal, good luck with that falsetto work. here's the secret. 1 set of testicles 2 cinder blocks LAAAAAAAAAAA!!!

flat-9 - Thank you for your attention and comments. The guidance too.

M.Brane - AIC?? Thanks man! I love them, ESPECIALLY SAP.
Man i wish!

jake-owa - Haha! Didn't you read my first post? It's open-mic style. Thanks for the listen jake, you are cracking me up in the cave man.

Doug H - Thank you Doug, you was the first to alert me to that clicky thing. I tried to fix it where I could. A lot was embedded in vocals tho. I guess I could retrack, maybe one day.

groucho - Yep, after pondering I'm probably gonna just leave it as is. Why not right? Thank you for your listen and comments.


Well.. that's about it. I got everyone. Bye..
