Thanks dave. Really do appreciate it

:p


Sing your life!

;)

pretty. i like it.

Thanks dude. That's one of his favorites.

This is how "Walk With Me" is coming along. We have made some changes. Thanks to everyone on SYG for listening and giving us your thoughts and suggestions. They have been useful in our growth. This is still a bit of a rough version and a work in progress. I really just wanted to share our progress with everyone. I hope you ENJOY!

I just recorded a quick track we whipped out this mornin. Really upbeat...ill post a link this afternoon

Reminded me a bit of Warn Defever (anyone remember him etc). I'd say it's a great song, but it's really difficult to get to the song with the production. The hiss is almost at the same level as the backing vocals. What are you recording on?

Sorry I can't be a bit more constructive - I know a lot of people like the lo-fi sound, but I feel that the production/ recording sort of masks the song; you can still keep the intimacy of the tune without necessarily having a million dollar recording, methinks.

Glice is nice.....I am a horible producer. Just workin with audio sound forge and an 8 year old computer for now. Our "studio" is a 8 x 9 room in our trouse (trailer house I made that up). Thanks again I know its a pain in the arse to download this shiznit;)

Ryan whipped this out of the air this morning. It has not been tweeked yet at all, but I really like the basic idea. I Don't think my production is any better on this one...but I'M LEARNIN:cool:

I will put a 4shared link on here too for it. For some reason it does not seem to work with facebook well so heres sendspace fr now

It is called "Ain't good at nothin"

http://www.sendspace.com/file/jas5ey

I'm sure the first person to say that sentence.

...yes? I feel like i do? Is that the correct spelling? Familiar name? WAit to you mean HIS NAME IS ALIVE?

Sweet. that aint a bad thing at all:)

'Fraid not.

His name is alive, yes.

I told him I was'nt recording anything hahaha! But I got his fingers an he did not even know it. be patient.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uAtrypY_bU0:)

so you got the same setup as burial for his debut. hahahaha
I agree, to glice.
the hiss distracts me while listening to the voices.
lo fi is something different, in this case you are somewhere around the noisefloor which degrades the overall sound AND atmosphere (despite what makes a good lo fi recording: the enhancement in atmosphere.)
blablabla
after all it doesnt harm the artistical output, which is really cool and unique.

thanks for listening to it!!! I agree i need some production help I cant figure out how to get the air sound out.


ADAM come help me!!!!

Can I come and stay at your house? You both seem like the sort of Americans I wouldn't want to slap. And I imagine you make decent food. Please?

you are welcome any time we are fun americans and I can cook like a mother fucka nothin like good ol southern cookin:)

ha ha ha captain

The 'wink wink' portion of the sentence slightly nullifies the preceding words don't you think?

I will hunt you. I will dog your life. I will find you when you sleep. I will carve holes in your body and eat your liver. You will rest no more. This is not a hollow threat. ;)

Gotta love Glice.

big glice an mini glice

Shit. I want Ryan's GnR tee shirt!

You do not know how hard it was to find that. They sell them at Walmart but when u live in redneck cuntry that shit goes fast. We went to 3 different stores to find an xl.

Very nice guitar instrumental. I tried to get out as much air and back ground as possible. Bear with me Glice I'll get there.

"Stroll on the Tracks"
http://www.4shared.com/audio/hy50LAX...he_Tracks.html

Ok here is what we just laid down. Its a bit different than the others, Actually they all sound really different to me. Ryan is playing guitar in this one and I am doing the vocals. This is our first collabo that I initiated so I of course like it. I just brought Ryan a melody and some words and he worked out a guitar part. I hope yall enjoy. BTW it aint cuntry.

I can share some pointers..... but can you explain your recording set-up (like what mic, plugged into what, in room you are recording in, etc.)

I think there's hope because in some of your recordings, the noise is at a minimal.

I have sony Sound Forge Audio Studio, a nice mic (apex 440) and a 9 x 9 room. that's it! I am still learning the capabilities of the program as far as editing, but I am hesitant to over edit, because once I get this right we are going to give out demos locally so possibly we can book some shows. I want us to soundlike we really do, but in a clean recording. THANKS!!!!!

The recordings are coming out w/ very low output. Low signal, but high noise. There is a lot of issues with the tracking specs and set-ups. 1'st, if your software allows for multitracking... like recording mutilple tracks at separate times, that would be priority #1. Not because it's impossible to capture a balanced and quality signal with one mic/ one track to include both guitar and vocal, but because your room is seemingly too noisy, the mic placement isn't near sweet spots and the input is too loud / opened up, or both.

The concept would be to record the guitar track - mic focused on guitar, then vocal on a dubbed track. You'd need to get the mic closer to the source though and cut out any room noise. Somewhere in here I was talking about recording in a closet.... check into that. It feels retarded, but based on the noise levels in your room,

I started to ask about the mic vs. input to the computer, but see it's a USB mic. I'm not to familiar with the limits of this. Just make sure you know all the functions of the mic, like not having the -10db switch on when it's not needed... the bass roll-off, etc.

I was thinking you are using a condenser mic, which requires phantom power, and wasn't getting the +48v power it needed. That's almost what it sounds like. Now, I don't know. That mic has it's own analog to digital conversion going on right within it!

Then there's the possibility you have the mix too low in the audio app. You might need to push the master fader up more to get the signal closer to 0. I can't really figure where the noise is coming from, but if you try and get the mic closer to the source when recording, thus lowering the input level / gain when recording, you might eliminate the noise and boost the signal. Don't be reluctant to get the mic like 6" off the hole on guitar and 6" away with the vocals. Getting closer to the mic will go a long way for starters.

The songs are great. Shouldn't have trouble getting gigs, but honestly the recordings should be better if you're going to put them in peoples hands to get gigs. I can't really see any reason your recordings couldn't sound 10x's better. It might require a cheap preamp upgrade and maybe even an XLR cable upgrade.... just cheap things but could be a weak spot in the signal. Sorry though, I'm not familiar with the software you're using or the mic.

Some of the tracks aren't very noisy and sound really good, like stroll on the tracks and today. Stroll on the tracks almost sounds like it was recorded in a closet compared to others. I don't hear as much "room" in it. I think in some cases, the output gain (master gain) is just a little low. I can pull them up in ProTools and see what happens when I push the gain.... maybe even apply a couple pro-mastering apps to them like a compressor and limiter. Might sound good. When I get back on the ProTools system, will do.

U r awesome! I cannot thank you enough:)

this set-up would be an upgrade to your current set-up:

It's woot... it's one day only and that's only if it doesn't sell out. If it looks good to you, don't sleep on it ;)

Hello.
Just wanted to say I downloaded the first track you put up and enjoyed it thoroughly. Hope you guys keep up the good work!!!

Our first Demo is done. Not as perfect as I hoped for, but it will serve it's purpose for now. We are now called Angel's Spit. Here's what we have worked out:

not working for me...

Cool! I've sampled your taste and that's not what we r shooting for. It should set well with our target audience.

huh? I can't get the links to work!

As far as I know, there is a gothic Australian band called Angelspit. No need for you to worry though, they're insufferable shite.

You r right the link is broke. Ill fix it when I get back from lunch. SORRY!
