hi, i posted my recording journal from this summer in recording techniques when the board came back up. this is one of the songs from that session. we originially recorded it in a small basement, and i may have posted that at the time. that version went out on a comp, this one will be on our new record. its 9.5 megs, you may need to give it a few minutes. any input would be greatly appreciated...we're finalizing this record soon. thanks!

I thought the song was nicely balanced. I really liked the gigantic rumble the drums made, and how the electric lead echoed further away. But I felt the farther-away stuff was a little too 'loose' to me -- they seemed mushed together frequency-wise, much more of a mass than distinguishable instruments (which might've been what you were going for, for all I know). Contrarily, I thought the acoustic guitar and electric, in the more subdued parts, were slightly too distinguished from the farther-away stuff, particularly in the high end; if you had rolled off the top a bit, or just touched it with compression, it might've tamed that effect down. In the louder portions it seemed to fit in pretty well, though. Anyway, I thought you captured everything quite nicely, and there's a good sense of depth. Good job.

thank you, that's about exactly what i've felt....i think a lot of the really really washy stuff is the distorted upright. the tweaks i had in mind were to compress that acoustic's amp'ed signal, bring down the miced one where all the drums and everything else bled into it, and cut some of the high high end out of the guitars.

wow, its so hard to reply effectively when the "leader of the free world" is lying to me live on tv.

Nice!

well, thank you very much.

i was able to make the changes i wanted to yesterday. i tamed the room sound down a bit and leaned more on the DI sound, compressed some more snap into the drums. brought the 10k craziness down on the lead guitar, brought the room mic down on the vocals...

i'm going to post some more stuff form this session soon.
