two songs. i would be interested in others opinions

I like the Bowie-esque yelling. Nice sounding tune, well mixed. Where/how did you record this.

[raygun]

the first one 'walking in your shoes" was done at Pete Cummings studio in Hendersonville tn on a tascam 1/2 inch 8 track. everything was tracked right there in his living room with minimal micing.
the second one "very exciting" was done in my home studio using sonar

i like these. nice overall quality. if that means anything. umm. the recording works well, if you follow.

are those real drums on the first one? or a mix of drum machine and real cymbal. hard to tell. interesting...

nice songs really. the recording doesnt step on them.

ive had other people ask if those are real drums and yes they are. ive always liked the drum sounds he gets.
thanks for the comments

Bwaaaah? I was so sure that was some slick drum machine. Yes, slick, but I liked them quite a bit. Not my kinda thing exactly but good songs, good songs... I would comment on the recording but it wouldn't be fair, I'm listening through some ultra-crap speakers right now... second song sounds a bit... quiet... so far, though.

those drums are COOL....

how did he do it. they sound like really punchy 12 bit sampled drums...
great job.. great great job.

he smashed them with a dbx compressor, he also used dynamic mics for the kick and overhead and he eqd alot

"Walking in your shoes" is great. I like the drum sounds, too. I don't know if I'd want to hear a whole LP with drums like that, but it really works on this song.
Good job!

yeah he still has a couple more unmixed songs on his reels that we havnt gotten yet, im wondering myself if the drums will sound like that on every song:]
