now I want to hear this and I'm getting shit about codecs when I try and listen.
I got to open for them a couple of years ago. Good band, but not exactly friendly.junplugged said:Wow, Brian Jonestown Massacre is around now, I thought I was listening to something from a loooooong time ago, then I go to the web site and they're young and touring! Sounds cool, vintage, c. 1967?
ooooh jake, you make me sooo mad, i'm just fuming and wondering how I can insult you....not.jake-owa said:Whoa, this sucks. Well, you wanted the attention.
Seriously though, the performace issues are many. First the drums are whacky, not tight and way too much going on in the highs. The guitar is played sloppy as hell and you go places that are scary with it. The whole things sounds like it's clipping and hashy. That lead is horrid and chopped up.
Ouch, if you had a vocal you could see how bad the mistakes are in comparison, the singing could never hide this bad music.
Not so great.
Same here. What gives?Stavencrows said:now I want to hear this and I'm getting shit about codecs when I try and listen.
codecs? that's usually a video thing isn't it? I have mine set up so that it plays in whatever mp3 player I have. When trying for the first time with IE, it asks yo if you want to use a new window and have ie play it in there, or do you want to use your own player. I picked own player. - this is for the latest version of IE, I don't remember seeing it before I upgraded....Stavencrows said:now I want to hear this and I'm getting shit about codecs when I try and listen.
you go boyeeee.jake-owa said:Hehe, good attitude.
What about mic placement? Seriously, how can you even ask that?
Did you listen to this mess? I have no idea where you put things or where to go from there but I can tell you that the mix is bad equalling about 10% of the mess and the performance is REAL bad making up the other 90% of the disaster.
Go from the source in importance, player to instrument to amp to mic to pre to recorder to mix.
Notice how the mix is the last thing on the list here? The actual mic placement could be fine if the playing was different, asking where to put mics in a bad performance is pointless.
hahaha! ya, i saw this doc with them and the dandy warhols, and anton (singer of BJM), seems like he's fucking unhinged! for instance, they had this showcase at a big club in LA with all kinds of major label A&R guys, and anton freaked out at the guitar player, started yelling at him over the PA, and then they started fighting each other on the ground.MadAudio said:I got to open for them a couple of years ago.

Thanks for the listen, that's cool, I'll have to listen to it again myself. Somehow this track is #1 in pop/rock?! on NWR.amra said:Musically, I don't know what you are going for...but the lead guitar kinda has a "cure" vibe to it at some points, tonewise. I think that sounds pretty cool...

This is just a jam, all first takes, mistakes and all. Instrumental only.

I popped it on a cd, I'll go listen in the car and at a friend's house who has a real stereo w/ subs.
I just took the download block off for non-members. It's free, but I guess you'd have to log on if you don't use cookies....7string said:Can you remove the Members Only Download?
