Hey guys,

Haven't posted in a while. Haven't really recorded anything worth sharing. Lots of crap. I spent 2 weeks on vacation working on music and came up with a whole 1 song. Anyways, this song came out pretty good I think. Minus my vocals and some slight outofkeyness in the prechorus on one line, I think it came out pretty good. But as always, I would love any comments anyone has.



Thanks and happy holidays.
 
It sucked ..

me in !!!!!! I really liked the whole thing. 2 weeks well spent I'd say.

Hey, it's a good mix on my system. You mentioned the vocal intonation...it's not bad, but you might consider lowering a couple of the harmonies where they're a bit out, because that's where it's most noticeable, to me anyway. Or hell, tune them, lol...they're backups. :D
 
do you mind if I ask what you did for drums? I like the sound a lot.
 
The drums are a set of samples I put together and sequenced in FLStudio. Usually I output the cymbals / hats seperately from the kick, snare and toms, and then output another track with everything (making 3 tracks). Then I do stereo verb on the hat track and snare / kick tracks (slightly different settings). Then I take that third track with everything and compress it so hard that it sounds like complete crap, and put them all together. The compressed track gives it a little more punch.

I actually just picked up the DFH2 sample set, but thought it came with a sequencer. Unfortunately it's just a sampler (the superior has a sequencer) and I don't have a decent sequencer on my Mac so I had to order a dvd drive for my PC so I can use DFH there in FLStudio. I like those samples a lot but I might still mix in a couple of my old samples and play with it all a bit. We'll see how that comes out if my DVD drive ever comes. :)

On a similar note, everything in the song is DI except the vox. Go go nyc apartment bedroom recording!

Thanks for the comments guys. Makes me feel better about my stuff. :cool:

That's some good fuckin' rock 'n roll. Keep that shit up!
 
I really like the guitar sound you got. How did you do it?

now, the song has a wildcard. "where are you heroes watching now?" Very catchy and memorable
 
The guitars are all DI straight into the Mbox. I use amplitube on all of them. Actually, I use amplitube on all the guitars, the bass and even some vox. I used the 7 string for that song, so the guitars are already pretty thick, but I usually double each rythem track with the distortion track, and then a cleaner sound to thicken it up since DI guitars are usually pretty dead sounding. For the heavier parts I put another track with a slight wah in the center for a little flavor. I'd kill to be able to mic a cab in my room, but the Amplitude is a fairly decent alternative.
 
Thanks. And keep up the good work. It impresses me that you did not spend a gazillion making this. Some people think you need the latest,greatest gear to make good sounding songs.

peace
