SO got my mixer back. Pretty happy about that, so I put together a cover of Tiger Army's "Santa Carla Twilight" as a surprise for my gal.
It's a psychobilly band if you are unfamiliar, they use upright bass and usually have punk and 50's/60's rock influences (think elvis and the misfits somewhere in between for lack of better terms)--- anyway I don't have an upright so I opted for me 5 string with exposed poles and slapped away at that thing to get my bass sound and I am pretty happy with it.
I sorta did this moreso to get back in the swing of mixing than a great present... I actually learned the drums and bass AS I recorded it (theres like one 15 hour session in this track so far, lots of caffeine there) so performance is pretty good considering, but NOT perfect, so that being said
This is also my first track I have ever done a full vocal performance on, so I'm looking for any feedback or help if you think I need it. I tried to keep everything upfront and honest vocally, but the backup vocal parts have been giving me trouble both in performance and mixing. I'm not ashamed of my voice, but I have never done vocal work in my life for th most part and only recently delved in, and it's turning out interesting... I sound a bit like nick 13 from tiger army itself mixed with a little davey havok of AFI, minus the extreme eccentrism.
blah.... anyway (yeah haha bleh I've come to suck your blood) the song is about vampires in love with humans and that stuff... what else does a song need?
All the drums are (real) performed by me, same with bass, guitar, and vocals. oh and the mixing part, too, but thats not that important.
