WOW!!
I have to say, I wasnt expecting this sort of feedback, especially for this song!
Charva - All of my stuff was (and is) recorded in my attic at home. I'm using purely hard disk recording via Logic Audio Gold, and up until very recently all effects - compression, reverb etc are internal. I was using
an Audiowerk 2 soundcard out to my desk (2 outs - mixed internally, so complete waste of the mixing desk potential!!) to a
Marantz PM4200 Hi Fi amp powering 2 KEF SP3320 Hi Fi speakers. So, as you can see nothing startling there really.
As for the Input side of things ... Everything, bar the guitars and vocals, are programmed again using Logic, the samples comming from emagics ES1 and ES24. The vocals were recorded through
a Sennheiser E845S Mic, through the desk EQ (Soundtracs Solo 32/4/2) into Logic, and compressed there in!
My Drums!! - of all my recording achievements, I am probably most pleased with my Drum tracks. I spend a huge amount of time programming and EQing Drums, as I have no facility to record live drums, but want as realistic drum sound as possible and have to admit, that I'm quite pleased with the results so far.
As for you watching me use it, let me know when ur in the country (UK) and you can come over for a beer anytime
oh and buy that Mini, they're F'kin amazing!!!
Joe (Joro - "I didn't hear anything wrong with the drums..... ") Thanks for that, its made my day that you picked on them!! As for the "snap crackle and pop" - yeah its intentional. The song is about my life, and I thought it would be a good way to start as you only had vynil, when I kicked off on this planet. The intro piano has been EQ'd to give that mono, wax cylinder, His Masters Voice type thing too ..... ((oo oo, chee boo) reminded my self of the Goodies for a second there ... hmmm none of you will get that!!!
I'm currently upgrading my soundcards to 2x Staudio 2000 Cports, to give me 16 outs to the desk, so that I can finally mix down externally. er... woohoo.
Thanks again for the comments guys. I would love some Feedback on "RED" if any of you have the time, even if only on the Drum track. I'm aware the vocals are shite BTW!!!!
Cheers
