that I gave you the opportunity to have a laugh at some of my recent attempts at tracking/mixing. I reallise that this is probably the wrong place but I'm just following suit...
Anyways, I did some stuff last week for a band that are helping me to develop my skills (and they get a cheap demo in the process).
The-Energy
The two tracks I did last week are called Fair Havana and Sort It Out. We did three tracks altogether and they wanted to go away that evening with a CD containing a rough mix of each song. For that reason I asked them not to put them out on the internet and only let mums, dads, brothers, sisters, uncles and aunts listen to it but for some reason they must have been happy with the results to put them onto their MySpace website.
I should point out a few things... My studio is ina garage conversion measuring 10' x 8' and I can't get a proper drum kit in there or indeed any guitar amps and the like. The band is a four piece so there were five of us altogether in that small space So, the drum kit is an electronic one based on the Alesis DM5 brain and a load of triggers that I made myself. The drummer, IMO, did a great jog considering cos the hi-hat, for a starters it crap (gotta pay over £400 for a proper electronic hi-hat). Also, the guitarist is DI'd for practical reasons... bearing that in mind I reckon they (and perhaps even me) did a great job).
OK... bring on the laughter lol
