Come on! I've been pushing this album on another messageboard and to all my mates and that has to be the worst pun yet.

I think our release date was too early.

[Phill]

And here I was about to post a similar gag. I should have come earlier... :rolleyes:

Hopefully it'll live up to it's name and come quickly I'd say. Too much booze and it might never happen!

13 songs, they must be just over 2 minutes a pop. That's not premature!

There's just a couple of anomalous 3 minute songs from when we've been at it all night. The rest are under 2 minutes - don't you worry, they give it to you thick and fast.

Heh, nice one sam. Did it finish too soon?

[Samcoma]

Heh, nice one sam. Did it finish too soon?
No it kept going for quite a while! The last track went on for 8 minutes! Your album cums lots in short burst then one epic one at the end! :D

[cheddatom]

Lol, did you listen to the whole secret track? Sometimes I find it so funny, other times it makes me feel ill.

[Samcoma]

Hahaha yeah I got through it all. What the fuck were you guys on when you recorded that? haha :LOL:

The first part of the song though was epic! The lyrics really did sum up a lot which I really enjoyed.

[cheddatom]

Yeh the lyrics on the last song are the best IMHO. They're by the bassist though - he's an english teacher!

It's not actually mic'd up here, this is with an impulse to emulate the cabinet.

Bump to say I actually have updated it and its got a better Impulse on there now so sounds more true to the cab.

[Apoplexia]

Substiture (www.blaktornado.com/stuffz2374/substiture.mp3)

A demo of a song from my next album.

Bet you can't guess which band I was inspired by :rolleyes:

And the vocals are a little bit quiet, I know. Tis only a demo so I don't forget how it's meant to go, but I like feedbackz.

Also, the strings sound like crap because it's only Garageband's synth's, and they suck. But I'll be using Logic for the final thing.

All feedback appreciated.

[Fernando]

Not bad. I don't feel like that bassline you grabbed from Newborn really fits the rest of the song though.

[JJ]

not badd :) the little guitar solo bit probably would sound better tremolo picked (UBER FAST PICKING LULZ) than letting them ring. good overall. vocals need MOAR volume.

[the_man361]

tip - in pop/rock songs that you're making yourself, compress the living crap out of the vocals, and control their actual level throughout the song with volume automation. theyll be much more upfront.

two subtle layers of compression! don't go nuts with one ;)


makes it just as upfront, but not as obvious that it's been compressed as heavily and less reliant on automation if the singer is good with their dynamics to start with :happy:

[Dramatic Hammer]

run a heavily compressed and treble-heavy (liek almost distorted) vocal track just under the main one (same audio) - basically an exciter but controllable.

Then set up a reverb -> compression bus and it sounds super :happy:

or, now that you mention it.. parallel compression/new york compression techniques work very well on lead vocals...

for anyone who doesnt know about it, its basically having two tracks of the vocal take, one not compressed at normal volume and quiteter one that has been totally smashed by a compressor. you keep the dynamic feel, but also preserve quieter parts that would otherwise get lost.

edit: damn, beaten to it by jon, with a very similar technique :p

[Apoplexia]

Wow thanks for the tips! I'll definitely try them out tomorrow! (bit late to be singing now :P)

You guys rock! :D

not something i use on vocals too often, but a great thing to do on drums! (sometimes i use overdrive rather than compression)

You should all be doing this with your guitar and bass rigs anyway! Dry guitar, mixed with heavily compressed guitar, going into your amp.

i have two channels that work at the same time time on my amp, so i've tried lots of things :p


but for what i do on guitar, it's a waste of time and overcomplicating the setup to achieve something i'm not after. plus we're using valve heads at high volumes, so get a fair amount of compression, don't need extra from pedals.

[Samcoma]

Jew rock??? You record it in an oven? Or is that too far?
How many jews does it take to repair a gas leak?




Never to far!

[Assassin231]

I would personally say too far, and I am not a jew neither do i know of any jewish people.

i find dead baby jokes funny, but I can never laugh the same way about genocide for some reason.

[bshuker]

Fag, just laugh at something if it's funny, doesn't matter it's not like YOU killed them all.

Fag, just laugh at something if it's funny, doesn't matter it's not like YOU killed them all.

considerably less jew in the two new ones

www.myspace.com/avantledeluge

[Samcoma]

Something I'm working on for a sort of soundtrack thing.

http://www.megaupload.com/?d=R8NMOJ7I

Adding strings to it now but I think it may be over kill.

[Nimpo46]

i wish i knew how to compress shiznits

[the_man361]

by compress, do you mean make a file smaller, or actually compress audio (dynamically)?

[Nimpo46]

dynamically.. i've read tutorials and stuff but i don't have the software i don't think because i can't make anything of it. lol

[the_man361]

well, reaper is free software that has a compressor in it. you could use that. though unless youre recording your own stuff, you shouldnt need to add compression to already recorded material :)

[Nimpo46]

haha yeah, no i've been recording some stuff, but mainly messing around so it's not been an inssue. but it's something i'd still like to know. i'll look into reaper thanks ;)

[Nimpo46]

i'm reading that reaper is not free? just a trial?

[the_man361]

i'm reading that reaper is not free? just a trial?

you can use it on the trial for as long as you wish for free.
when you begin to make money off it, or use it for anything serious.. then you need to buy a license.

[Fernando]

Yup! I use Reaper for recording right now, and it's very nice. It supports all the plug-in types I've heard of, as well as a good few I haven't, can host VSTi's and do all the editing and mastering stuff. Easily the best solution, especially if you don't plan on making money, therefore not needing to pay anything.

[theanatomyofguns]

reaper is free software

But it stopped running after 30 days saying I had to buy a license for $20:(

[Fernando]

But it stopped running after 30 days saying I had to buy a license for $20:(
I don't know what you downloaded, but that isn't Reaper. A commercial Reaper license is over $200, and it doesn't have a trial limit.

[the_man361]

I don't know what you downloaded, but that isn't Reaper. A commercial Reaper license is over $200, and it doesn't have a trial limit.

ya, even the non commercial license for reaper isnt as low as $20 iirc, i think theyre $50 for a non commercial license.. and you can use the program for more than 30 days without a license :p

mine currently says something like, "Reaper is not free - if you use it past 30 days, you must purchase it. You have been evaluating Reaper for approximately 92 days"

hahah. it also adds:

"The evaluation period for Reaper is 30 days, although it will remain fully functional indefinitely. Every day you use Reaper without having purchased it you will be reminded, and will have to contemplate purchasing for 6 seconds."

then i have to wait 6 seconds before clicking 'close' to continue :)

[Pluginbabydoll]

but is it worth buying???

I actually listened to a couple of the songs on his myspace and they actually sound really really good. So I will be getting one, just need to remember to buy it when I'm at home :)

[cheddatom]

I could send you some soiled knickers with it?

[Pluginbabydoll]

Shouldn't I be the one throwing knickers at you? :wtf: But if you must :) You should send me a signed copy so that when you're famous I can sell it for lots.

You don't mind sending it all the way to Australia do you?

[cheddatom]

No problem. I'll sign it with my signiature man-muck. The singer's away at the moment so if you want him to sign it I would have to leave it another 2 weeks.

[Pluginbabydoll]

K, purchased. Just your scribble'll do find. Then I can be all like.. hell yeah it's PERSONALISED.

[cheddatom]

You don't want my love-stain? :(

OK i'll sign it and get it sent. What's your name Baby Doll?

EDIT: Koondoola - HAHAHAHAHA What an amusing place name. Are there many aborigines in that region?


EDIT: And thanks for buying the album you fiend, I hope you like it.

my friend who makes drum and bass music (hes got some technics desks and does mixing etc) got two of his tunes pressed to vinyl recently. coolest thing ever tbh :D so now he can mix his own stuff up with pendulum and all that.. i want to get our stuff pressed and see what happens if i ask him to mix it haha.. bad things ;/

[gunnerthekiwi]

Of course, you can always just use Serato ;)

[Fernando]

Heh, it's not good enough to put on vinyl!

Here's a cover of one of the Instrumental sections from the Dream Theater song Octavarium:

http://soundclick.com/share?songid=6918180

Just click Hi-Fi to play.

This features the Moog Modular V virtual synth on for the lead, and my Mesa Studio Pre for guitars. The drums and bass are courtesy of the Garageband instruments in logic, they aren't great but are all I could be bothered to do.

Don't give me credit for the Lead line on the Synth, I have a midi of it and used that into the Moog.

Are these Industry CDs? Have I missed a post? Can I have one please?

[coffee_and_tv]

TO ANY VICTORIAN MUSOS:

if anyone is playing any gigs this summer (or really any time after about mid-december), and theyre in need of a support act, give my band some thought! well play for free (shit, id even buy you a few drinks for the opportunity), bring a heap of people along, AND provide some pretty good (imo :P) music and energy to get your show going. we just want to build on our gigging experience, and get our name out a bit.


and if anyone reads this and knows someone in a gigging band, feel free to tell them about us. were ready and willing :p

[the_man361]

Are these Industry CDs? Have I missed a post? Can I have one please?

yeh industry ones. we're doing a thing where we will send you a few if you think you know anyone who might be interested in the music. we send them for free, in return you help get the material out :)

pm your address and quantity of CD's if you're interested ;)

[Samcoma]

PM'd.

[james90]

Chris, are you only doing it that way? don't think it would be of much help if I did that since I'm 'over here'! wouldn't mind a copy for myself though.

the_man - I got the Insdustry CD yesterday and listened to it a couple of times through. I think it's really good! Do you want a full-on critique or just a gentle arse-licking?

Did you get the db I e-mailed you by the way? If you have a load of these you should really mail them out to labels.

[the_man361]

yes i did, thankyou.

we /had/ a load of the CDs. we played a gig yesterday and all of them found new homes :LOL: will get onto making more though

yeh, can i take the full critique, with a side order of arse licking? :D

[cheddatom]

Fiendish. You should get some without "promo copy" and sell them.

RE the cd, It was just that the first song had quite a weak snare, although there's enough top on it to cut through, there was no body to it - compared to the 2nd track for instance. Obviously it's been done on purpose, but there could be more power to the snare. Also, the guitars seem to be lacking in "fundamentals" but I suppose that's the sort of tone you're after? The bass was very boomy and I had to turn down the bass in my car, and EQ most of the bass out of my 5.1 system at home 'cos it was (literally) giving me a headache. The drummer could have gone half time for a couple of riffs, but that's just personal taste I suppose - objectively there was slight lack in rhythmic diversity. I thought for a promo CD you could have shortened the arrangements - it's allright for albums or whatever, but if the purpose of the disc is to promote you, you could really do with hitting hte first chorus in under 40 seconds.

Arse licking:

The synth sounds, samples, vocal sounds etc were really really good, and I love some of the complex rythms. Some of the lyrics as well - very fucking good. If it wasn't really good I wouldn't have listened to it until my head hurt! My girlfriend loves some of your riffs.

haha okay thanks.. sounds like i really need a decent pair of monitors.. sure your 5.1 system has a good response? because its not seemed overly bassy where ever else i have played it. thanks for the feedback too! the first song was one of the first ones we recorded.. so yeh the production isnt quite as good as some others

[MUSEicly_Talented]

hey, industry is your band aint it? i heard some stuff from you once, i cant think where, a myspace or something, i just read cheddas review and now i'm fairly interested, you reckon you could mail me a cd or something, or let me know when your next gigs are so i can get down and see you play?
Considering the guitar work you did for my hysteria track a while ago i imagine it'll be a pretty damn decent band. and its all better live :D

also chedda, i think you posted something a while ago, you had made a video for a track you did, i really liked that track, you've got a very talented three piece going on there, you doing many gigs? i'd like to see you play live, your drummer is very imaginative with his rhythms as far as i could tell from that one song, i showed it to my mate when i heard it, hes really into it, where did you record it, the quality was top notch! :D

[JT]

Yeah, if you're still up for giving away cds when you get more made, I'd like one too :)

That explains the difference on the 1st track. I realise it must feel "over and done with" now but if you ever use the same audio for a different CD or whatever, just trigger a more powerful snare and it'd be fine. I'm sure you'd do that anyway.

RE the bass, my 5.1 system is overly bassy as it is. I have the sub turned all the way down, and use the soundcard EQ to get rid of the rest, but I had to use the WMP EQ ontop of all of that to get rid of even more bass last night. I don't know if the production overall is too bass-heavy, but the bass guitar deffinitely seemed too boomy. I've certainly never heard that kind of bass coming out of my car before, even compared to RATM. It's as though it's all lows, and no mids? Anyway, yeh, I don't normally turn down the bass in the car for anything but rap, but I really had to. It wasn't distorting or anything.

To be fair, I bet it sounds fucking massive in a club or the like.

You can download stuff from www.no-logo.ws There's a video on youtube somewhere for a song called "ghosts". The video was shot by a friend on a handheld DV cam, and edited at my house by me and the drummer. The CDs were all recorded, mixed and mastered by me and the drummer. The drummer's gone home to Ireland and we probably wont gig again until we're all 30 or something :(

hey yeh :) almost all of the material from the CD we are sending out is downloadable from our myspace right now for free, the main reason we are sending them out is incase people are able to help us to promote by handing some out too. if after having a listen you decided you can/want to, thats awesome and we can sort out some postage

upcoming gigs... where abouts are you?
3 Oct 2008 The Queen Victoria in leicester
15 Nov 2008 The Travellers Rest in lincoln
16 Nov 2008 The Shed in leicester (glastonbudget showcase, we're pretty much guaranteed a place in the festival as long as we bring some people, theyve already heard us play and they liked it a lot, but we only bought 2 ppl so they gave us another chance as one of the requirements was to be able to demonstrate you can bring a crowd haha)
26 Nov 2008 Subculture in leeds - rock society social
5 Dec 2008 The Library in leeds
16 Dec 2008 RAF Marham Music Club - not for public
21 Dec 2008 The Met Lounge in peterborough
29 Jan 2009 The Gasworks in bradford

we played a gig last night, kev (k&t mod) came which was nice to see him again, and someone else who is apparently on the board but i didnt recognise her name, probably not from teh k&t

Yeah, if you're still up for giving away cds when you get more made, I'd like one too :)
as above! hehe

yes when we move from doing demos and EP's to actually compiling an album proper we will record proper drums and guitar, these are demo scratch tracks pretty much

[cheddatom]

I'll see if i'm free for the 16th.

[the_man361]

thanks, that would be awesome. we're hoping to get a lot of people there and put on a really good show for that date in particular :)

[Pluginbabydoll]

I got the cd's yesterday! I've only listened to two & 1/2 songs so far because I was in a rush to get to work this morning. I must say I'm really enjoying it. You guys have some serious talent. I'll have a proper listen when I get home tonight to give some feedback but so far I've noticed the whole bass thing. I had to turn my sub off. And the drums are really light on the first track.

[the_man361]

yes the drums are light in void heheh, it bugs me a bit too, but it was all done on an old pc and would take a very long time to do again.. we'll do that when we do an album proper :)

thanks for the feedback, glad you like it

[ADAM]

for the record - NONE of the drums are me! :p theyve been made in a computer! haha

I think "Void" is programmed around something I played whilst jamming but all other drum tracks are made and written by Matt on a PC.

I play them differently live! :D

Come see us - it'll be 'whack'!

[cheddatom]

Come see us - it'll be 'whack'!

[Dramatic Hammer]

We got our first review! Of our myspace for some reason....

"Here the bassist from the ultra-metal band Jim Crow's Grave pulls an unexpected left-turn and forms Hastings' premier Hot Chip influenced electropop group. Splashes of actual guitar and bass aside, To The Moon Alice have built their songs on kicking, clonking drum-machines, New Wave synth-lines, and uncertain vocals. Over a generous six tracks the songwriting is strong, thought the geezerish, misjudged Dancing with Dwarves and mannered Placebo-isms of One In The Bush let the side down. Standards in this genre need to be high for club crossover potential, but a firm producer and decent studio could bring forth some disco stardust from To The Moon Alice.
7/10"

Not bad I guess, although we haven't had those songs up for months so it must be ancient :rolleyes:

Historia (http://www.blaktornado.com/stuffz2374/historia.mp3)

Currently no vocals, but this is what I've got so far of my new demo pencilled as "Historia" (name will most likely change for final release)

Sorry if it's quiet; Garageband likes to mess up the sound when I export tracks by being all "Normalizing" about it all. Grrr. Why can't it just export it how I hear in the program? Anyway, that's another story.

Edit: Oh and I know there are a few harmonies that are a bit off. I'll fix that for the final version (Garageband was getting REALLY laggy and I couldn't be bothered re-importing the sibelius midi again because it takes quite a while to get it all sorted after that)

[haze015]

complex static is back on myspace, much happier with the mix now!

[Fernando]

Historia (http://www.blaktornado.com/stuffz2374/historia.mp3)
I listened to about half of it. The piano sound really bugged me. It seemed far too bright, especially compared to the heaviness of the rest of the parts. I feel like you could be doing something more interesting with the piano part's rhythm as well.

That was, unfortunately, a problem with garageband and my Midi file; it took both piano lines and made them one (D:<) so I couldn't control the "right hand" and "left hand" tracks individually. I'll sort it for the final thing though.

And I'm sure I can work something out. Thanks for your feedback :)

I reckon i'm almost there. These have been mixed AND mastered now, but by no means set in stone so I would greatly appreciate help. If anyone thinks they can do me a better master (the_man?) then I can upload the un-mastered files for you.

I was going to make a new thread but thought it'd probably get merged. I want all opinions etc on these two songs. A few of you already gave me feedback on one song "harbinger" (ta sam, the man and jon)

I reckon i'm almost there. These have been mixed AND mastered now, but by no means set in stone so I would greatly appreciate help. If anyone thinks they can do me a better master (the_man?) then I can upload the un-mastered files for you.

somnambulist (http://www.no-logo.ws/somnambulist.wma)
harbinger (http://www.no-logo.ws/harbinger.wma)

i like the songs :D think the lead vocal needs more balls on somnambulist its pretty loud, but lacking in mids i think.. kinda harsh, and of course you're going for that :p

infact i think the whole lot in general could do with more roundness on somnambulist. nice guitar solo though!

harbringer seems to have had the first second lopped off heh. the mix is better here, backing vocals and bass is more rounded.

id have a go at some mastering if you do post them mixed files

[cheddatom]

roundness = roll off top end?

I'll post the the files tonight but it might have to be stashbox links because i'll be at home.

The vocals on somnambulist are obviously supposed to be harsh, but I still want them to have some power. I'll try boosting some mids - a quick remix before I upload.

Hopefully the harbinger mix will sound better un-mastered. I still have a lot to learn when it comes to mastering. My method is - create 6 duplicated tracks - have one dry, one with the default multi-band comp, one low, low mid, hi mid, high, all individually compressed while I listen, and then mix them all on the mixer. Then I take the exports and compare them to some good sounding CDs.

Disregard the second thing on there... :LOL:
Just pay attention to the current "Maps" cover that's on there, I'm so proud.

And no, we don't have a drummer... just GarageBand loops. :facepalm: :facepalm: :facepalm:
I'm responsible for keyboardy sounds/girly harmonies in the chorus/editing this bitch up.

Prepared for being chewed apart in 3... 2... 1....

And no, we don't have a drummer... just GarageBand loops. :facepalm: :facepalm: :facepalm:

At least you didn't play live to a backing track of Garageband drum loops... I hope...

Trust me, it's not good.

My band did this last week and in the songs with the garageband loops, we fucked up miserably; they were too bassy to hear them...

The drum tracks generated by the Zoom drum machine on my recording studio were fine! Just the Garageband ones...

So yeah... word of warning there, I guess... If everyone hadn't been drunk, I think we would have had bottles thrown at us.

Your music isn't too bad... although not really my thing, to be honest.

oh lawdy
It hurts just thinking about that. Reminds me of the bit in that new Nick and Norah film where they're playing live with a child's electric drum toy in the background. :LOL:

1- crappy recordings
2-punk vocals(my thing) but i can hit all the belamys notes)) its just that my timbre(or tone... im not much of a musician) sucks so i dont do much muse stuff.

They're all pretty good songs, but tbh the first one the drums sound like there is too much high end coming through on them. The first and second songs sound a bit samey though otherwise pretty good stuff!

[Creo]

thanks very much for taking the time :)

yeah, i think the drums come out a little too much high end too, but i found out that it sounds way better in reason (the application i used to mix), a little worse as .mp3 and very poor on myspace.

and yup, ill try to make them sound a little more different, im just making my first experiences :)

a little tip: if you're mixing in reason, you will almost certainly find that if you use rewire to send your tracks out from reason to a rewire host like cubase, they will actually sound a fair bit better. i dont know why, but something about the way the code is written for reason's summing mixer makes it sound worse than better coded summing mixers like cubase's.

the fact they sound worse as mp3 and worse on myspace is obviously going to happen, its getting pretty compressed when exporting to mp3, and then getting totally smashed when it hits myspace, but i guess you knew that.

Hi, this is probably the wrong thread, but here it goes:
I'm looking for a good cover band to play at my party, in March '09; I'd love of course a few Muse covers, but not all of them. Crucially, it must be a band in the Leeds area..... and also I can't pay very much!! (please be kind, don't insult me :p).
Can you suggest anyone?
Cheers!
