I like it. You really put out an ecclectic variety. I missed out a lot of detail listening on 5.1 speakers at normal volume, but they popped out clear with studio headphones (KRK KNS-6400). Have you mastered the track? If so, it's not loud like a modern master. There are a lot of cool spatial manipulations and that even came through the hi-fi speakers. Around :50 you start hearing some white noise. It comes and goes rythmically a bit and either disapears when the volume goes up or it gets lost in the mix, but it reapears when the music gets quiet again. Intentional? If so, I'd consider cleaning it up because I think most people would mistake it for unintentional. If it is unintentional, then I'd try a noise gate on it. Anyway, cool sounding tones. Would be a little fatter with more aggressive mastering. Did you do it all with a synth and a drum machine or is it all VSTs?
Nothing for you to crit now, but thanks; I'll keep you posted.

...the website is really professional looking, it's very well laid out... |
The website is free to use and they have good terms (IMHO) if you sell anything. www.bandcamp.com It's all their default layout; we just used our art and color scheme. Also, they play well with others in case you ever want to use CD Baby or someone to distribute your stuff on iTunes, Amazon, etc.
It was our first attempt at this. We did it all at home on our own for a demo CD to get club gigs. I'm learning a lot and plan to remix and re-master those 3 if we ever get around to writing/recording more songs. Sucks that our singer/drummer is in High School and shooting for good grades. But that's life. We plan to use record drums in MIDI from now on and tweak each bit with NI’s Studio Drummer in the DAW.
Your stuff sounds like you've been doing this a lot. I'm interested in your setup and any tricks you've picked up along the way.

How exactly do you record man? is it DI'ing the guitar or an amp? |
First off, thanks for the kind words & crit.
The vocals are doubled with an LDC mic.
Used Roland TD-9s drums recorded direct into board from the stereo audio outs. We left the drums dry in the DAW.
Guitars are re-amped from DI track: laptop/board/sub bus/GNX4 line-in/GNX4 1/4" output/Marshall 100w tube head/4x12 cab/SM57 close mic & LDC room mic/back into the board/onboard preamps/laptop. I blended SM57 on left with LDC on right & panned Gtr 1 out farther than Gtr 2. Most guitar is Squier with a cheap ‘bucker, but Rat used the Fender for Gtr 2’s solos. I used fuzz, compression, reverb, noise gate, amp/cab sim in the patches on the Digitech GNX4 MFX. The head was on the crunch channel in the green gain stage with channel gain and volume dimed and master volume on 3. I tried re-amping with some free in-DAW guitar plug-ins, but I was happier with the physical re-

Hey man, you don't really know me but I've heard some of your stuff on UG I've recently recorded a 5 track EP and I was wondering if you'd take a listen and maybe write a review? I'd quote this interview on my myspace and would also link to a site where people could read more of your work
Have a listen to the tracks and if your intrested, send me a message

If you give me a tracklisting and then send the album to my work e-mail (tom.colohue@ultimate-guitar.com) then sure, no problem.

rabidguitarist wrote on Dec 31st, 2008 6:51pmOh, sorry man, I should have said.
I use Sony Acid Pro. What sequencing program do you usually use? quote |

rabidguitarist wrote on Dec 26th, 2008 11:41amThanks mate. All of the orchestral parts were sequenced using the synth 'Edirol Orchestral HQ'.
