So we just put our ep up on noisetrade if anyone wants to try it out. http://noisetrade.com/thescrips Story behind this... I have an indie rock band called The Southern Sea, but started a side project completely devoted to live performance and acoustic instruments. New territory for me...all around....

Cool little guitar. Needs some work though. Heel needs repair and probably a neck reset, everything else seems to be ok, but I'm no expert. I'm interested in a trade. I'm looking for a good recording interface (Apogee Duet or similar with good quality converters) or I'm looking for a good preamp wit...

Here's the deal. I found a hammond "The Piper" organ on the cheap at a thrift store "$19". It works (at least the parts that I need work). So I'm trying to rob all the good parts to use seperately. What I would like to find out is if this is something worth pursuing or if I'm wasting my time. I'm de...

So I recorded a few Christmas songs and sent them out to friends and family (being inspired by Sufjan Stevens obviously). You're invited to download all of them for free if you're interested. It was fun, but took longer than anticipated... (which home recording always does i guess). Anyway...if you ...

...so our online ordering wasn't working, but now it does.

If you want to get Simple Machines for Complex Problems, you can order from our website.

thanks.

Merry Christmas!

Making such a great record with so little to work with is really inspiring. Did you lean on the messageboard for things other than the drum loop trick? I hit message boards a few times, but mostly...reading tapeop really inspires us to try different things. And several songs, went through 3 or 4 co...

Tell us how you made it nothing fancy, just lots of tinkering. motu-828 1/2 of record done in cubase 4.2 @ 16 bit 1/2 in DP @ 24 bit preamps: ARP Tube MP Audio Buddy Mics: 57s 58 atm-25 on kick pair of MTX 603e Oktava 219, 319 it was mixed and mastered by a friend in ProTools (http://www.bluecouchs...

I'm really glad ya'll like the stuff. I'm working on the online ordering thing right now, but there's some ordering info @ http://www.thesouthernsea.com/ (anyone have suggestions on how to sell these with no label, distro, etc? Your thoughts on PayPal, CDbaby, Audio lunchbox, etc?) Suggestions? than...

It took us 1.5 years to record 6 songs.....and we're done!!! The six song ep is called "Simple Machines for Complex Problems" It took us like a year and a half to record and I'm glad to be done with it. Now we can start on another one! (Recording 3 hours a week isn't the most productive method of re...

(see title of post)

Anyone know of a good place to do small quantities of 7-inch vinyl.....on the cheap?

thanks,

after a focused listening, I have two things... for philosophy the bass that goes back and forth, from the C to the G, maybe too loud? Based on what else I've played through these monitors, this song seems really heavy on that part. Also, when that picked and doubled guitar part comes in, when the ...

Thanks for the comments everyone.
We actually do like a little vocal separation.
