No, its not one of mine, so don't think I've actually got to record anything since January, damnit. The only thing I actually had to do with this was writing the words to the verse. THe rest was Brians, the singer that I had on my other song that most of you heard. And for those of you that liked him, well, heres something you can check out. Or not.
I'll pick it apart for ya, so you don't have to...
It opens WAY to thin, on purpose I beleive, but it does get meatier at 22 seconds and shapes up SOME.
The mix and tracking are pretty pathetic IMO, and I know nothing about it except that he used Cubase. I do, however, think some of the ideas are decent, and the song has a pretty good feel to it. Some serious mastering AT LEAST is in order. I attempted to clean it up before I posted it, but Sonar crashed on me every time I opened the Sonic Timeworks mastering EQ, and after about 6 times of almost getting done, I got pissed and quit.
My own educated guess is that its a drum machine (obviously) and that the guitars are run direct through some sort of distortion box or a pod or something. As far as mics go on the vocals, I have no idea of the chain. THe vocals sound pretty decent compared to the other stuff, though, and can be sorta catchy in thier own way.
What I dont understand is why he didnt call me to track this stuff for them and mix it and offer ideas. I was kind of offended, actually, especially after I heard how much improvement I could have made on the final mix. I would have at least fixed those damned hats...
There is a real cool break at 3:12, and there are some cool, almost hidden, guitar or keyboard parts in the background around 3:50, kind of almost phantom in a way.
If anyone likes it and wants to hear another, I can load one up. The 2nd one on the CD has some real cool verses and a cool ending, although the chorus sucks ballsack. I think Brian could be the bomb with proper instruction and if he'd lay off the cigarettes and crack. Probably wont happen though. Sigh.

You can also hear him on one of mine if you never actually heard it at....
