Merry Christmas from Greg_L - take 2

[Greg_L]

Okay lemme try this again.

I heard Beeze's wonderful recording of his kids singing Christmas songs, so I just had to do one of my own. So thanks for the inspiration Beeze and family.

So, here's me and my slightly timing-challenged but wonderful little girls doing "Jingle Bells".

Nicely done !!!! I bet you wish you had our snow to go along with the song. We are getting slammed in Ohio !!!!

 

[true-eurt]

That was the best Jingle Bells song I've heard... Sounded like some Punky Rockabilly guitar in there too.

Thanks a lot, but fuck no on the snow. I hate cold. It's like 55 down here today. I'm freezing my balls off.

Lol. It's easy to harmonize when everyone is out of key and time.

Thanks Ido.

Very cool. Not only is it musically appropriate, but a truly unique family heirloom to have. In 30 years, your grandchildren are going to be diggin this.

 

[Torpid-x]

Loads of fun. put a smile on my face
how old are the girls?

 

[Chili]

This is great. Lots o' fun!!!

The girls aren't timing-challenged at all. You just need to get into their rhythm.

Cheers,

Nice!
Nice recordings by the way.
Mix could do with some low end and some more low mids. The high end and high mids are nice but the mix needs more lows and low mids to back them up.

ok, how about in the box? Help me out here.. I've used about the same level of equipment and still can't get it sounding that good.

Okay thanks for the listen and the feedback.

I don't really know what else to tell you. My setup is pretty basic. I pay very close attention to tuning and mic placement. I might test record snare whacks 20 or 30 times with the mic in different spots. I try to place the mics so I need as little EQ help as possible. This song was 4 mics - kick, snare, and 2 O/H's in the recorderman configuration. Scooped a little out of the kick from around 200-500, gently boosted the crack in the snare around 4k, and left the O/H's alone. Put a mild small-room ambience reverb on it and that was it.

Awesome, man!!!

Thanks Rami.

 

[Rick Shepherd]

Greg, from a purely listening enjoyment perspective, that was very very cool my man!

 

[johnnymegabyte]

Fun, yet a great recording. Kids of all ages will love this version.
I can't wait to play it for the kids ... mmm, OK .. me, cranked up a bit at home.
I'm sure my kids will like it, too ( 21, 19, 18, 4 ) <---- no typo
