been a prolific week for me
I like the distortion. How’d you get that?
Thanks!
I’m going straight into the soundcard out of a Boss GT-3 on the BG (Mesa Boogie?) amp model, direct level=0%, mic level=100% @ 1cm. Then on the input it’s connected to a stratocaster which is connected to a mediocre guitarist
That’s a good sound, and a good use of a good sound.
Thanks Tom - that is music to my ears
Anyone have any comments regarding mixing/mastering of the song? I thought it sounded pretty good when I was finished. But you know, when you’re writing the song, doing all the tracks, mixing it, mastering - sometimes at that point you’re so involved that you can’t see the forrest for the trees
Just looking to keep getting better at this, so your comments are welcome.
Reminds me a bit of T-Rex and Steve Miller? It sounds quite a lot different from your other two tunes!
On the whole, I think the vox are the best in “Whatever Happened” of all three (though the melody in “Standing by Infinity” was very interesting).
Do you have a master plan for these tunes? Would they all be cuts on the same album?
Cheers,
Ben
Thanks for listening and your thoughts, Ben. I agree with you about the vox, and I definitely spent the most time on them on this track. T-Rex and Steve Miller, eh? Cool.
At this point, no real master plan, just a lot of experimentation and trying different things. These tunes would make for kind of a weird album, if they were all rolled together, I think, because they’re so different. Not that that would stop me.
My master plan right now is to keep writing songs, and get better at making them catchy, mixing them, mastering them - really the whole process.
I do hope to someday go through that exercise of putting together a CD and figuring out how to master things to make them sonically the same enough to sound like they are a contiguous effort. The only thing I’ve done that on to date is a demo CD - cover songs on acoustic guitar. That turned out pretty well but they were all someone else’s songs from the same genre.
