Oh my god 
Whoah, here I leave for like one day (well the BB gave me a nice "SQL server error" yesterday
) and I have like upteen replies, amazing
if that girl in the picture is you you are a knockout
The girl isn't *me*... however, she is my *wife*, so thats close 'nuff
Me, myself, am
here and more of Nina's stuff is
here.
Do check out the
new video - its kinda neat! Spaceships, explosions, magic, skin-tight space suits, alien planets, y'know the standard music video stuff. *grin*
The singer has a nice voice. Pretty heavy reverb on the vox - almost too much even for this song.
Interesting, I never figured it as reverb-laden. It uses some chorusing and a "fake" backing vocal generated by a Digitech Vocalist thingy... but lots of reverb? Heck most people think I put on too little. That was new. Gotta re-listen to that
Nice music, but what the heck were those lyrics? The chorus had like one line repeated a hundred times
Heh, dont blame me. For once. She wrote 'em herself. I kinda like the concept though, but yeah, perhaps a one-line-times-three chorus isn't the best. Oh well.
you need to turn that guitar solo up... sorry man.. but there's no use havin' it in there if you can't even hear it.
I dunno if its me, but I hear it *clearly*. Is my ears broken? The problem is/was that it's not the best played in the galaxy, although
mike burn did it, so I wanted to hide a couple of the warts in the playing, so I just made it stick into the high end (didn't want it to walk over the other frequencies) .... so I hear it. Wierd.
Sometimes I *do* guess my ears are broken. Heh. I think I have an oversensitivity to 2k-4k ish.
What is your vocal setup?
RÖDE NT3 mic through Pre on an old FOSTEX 2440 mixing board straight into EgoSys WaMi-Rack 24 sound interface for recording (totally dry to disk).
Then treated w. some plugs (Waves Q4 EQ, Waves C1 compressor, possibly de-esser) then back out to the Fostex board and through various outboards, in this case a touch of RockTron Pro-Chorus, some reverb (from an ASR-X "sampler" used as FX box)
Now if you say you tracked this to a Yamaha MT50 4 track with casio keyboards and a radio shack mic, we'll have to kill you, you know Gotta have been done with really good, high-end signal chain.
Well, it's not quite radio shack, not quite casio, heck why don't I
invite you in and show you around the studio. "Around" being the operating word? 
Was the guitar solo during that talk over section?If it was, I couldnt hear it at all!
Well it *is* an acoustic solo. Not some overdriven electric stuff y'know
bass is a little "round" sounding but strong
My main problem is sorting out the bottom end... 90% being due to crappy room and lots of standing waves in it. Since I got my Sennheiser HD240 MKII headphones I've had some better check on what goes own "down below" but it's still not "great". And it's a pity coz I'm a lover of DEEP PUNCH BASS and it's too easy just to pile on too damned much and make a mess of it.
I went pretty light on this one, yet kept most punch in the drums (actually accentuated it). The drums is actually a loop, which I dont normally use (generally, I program drums on
my ASR-X or other box, but this loop just had a kewl sound to it)
pump up the guitar....and the drums too....
Heh, well I have been historically pumping up the drums WAY too much I think. I am trying to think more "popsong" and focus more on the music. If you listen to some of my
solo junk you'll hear loud drums galore
And THANKS FOR THE COMMENTS!
Again, WHY DIDNT ANYONE TELL ME ABOUT THIS PLACE!? Jeezes, a place where you can get constructive mix critique is worth is freaki'n weight in alchemically enriched lead!!
/Z
I reckon it would sound neat if you made the spoken voice-over more of a background "airy" accompanyment, and made the guitar solo the "primary" part of the bridge.
