Mar 16, 2003 08:02 am 'Alcohol and amly' - errr, interesting title.
The songs really good actually, I can see why you like it so much - you've paid lots of attention to detail with all the samples, and fizzes. I especially liked the filtered melody at panned hard left at 25 seconds, and the very final sound you use at the end. (how did you make / aquire that!)
The production sounds very "60's" - I don't know if you were going for this effect, it sounds quite cool.
If I was to pass comment I would reccomend you re-record the lead acoustic guitar line, there are a couple of times where it slips off the beat which really throws the whole song - also, the recording sounds a little thing - try to phatten it up a bit.
I wold also suggest that you roll off a bit of the reverb, things are getting a little drowned at times, and if you add vocals, it runs the risk of becoming very muddy.
Finally, I would reccomend a bit of a boost around the Low Midrange (around 550Hz) - keep the Q pretty open and don't boost by too much - just give it a go and you should hear what I am getting at when you try it.
I look forward to the finished version!

I hear a lot of very nicely recorded and mixed sounds. The song's "sound" is so distant from what I am trying to create makes it really rough to comment on the song. Sorry. The big thing I hear is your growth between songs. Definately progressing in a possitive direction!
Mar 16, 2003 01:09 pm cool, cheers for listening guys!
re jues' comments:
firstly, the sound at the end is a slide up a bass string dropped a few tones and slowed right down - cool eh? i like it anyway...
60s sound? cool! spot on what i was looking for, so thats definately a compliment
acoustic track is a bit ropy now ya mention it...job for tomorrow - rerecord or turn down in the mix!
as for the eq...ill try it and let ya know..anything in particular need attention or just the track as a whole?
and yeah walt, i see where youre coming from..and im getting there slowly!
cheers again for listening guys!
Mar 16, 2003 01:22 pm oh yeah jues..another question for ya whist im on the scrounge for knowledge...theres no reverb on the track (effects wise) but theres loads on the drum loop as it was originally recorded...any ideas on how to clean it up?
Mar 16, 2003 01:37 pm Woah. That last sound... the tuned down bass string thing... it's scary. It sounds like a monster or somethng.
I like the song as a whole tho. I can't wait to hear vocals!
Mar 16, 2003 08:29 pm Hmm, if the reverb is already on the sample then the only thing I can suggest is maybe using an exapnder to duck the volume inbetween the hits, thus lessening the reverb tail.
Give it a go - if you have difficulties then send me the drum loop via email and I can give it a go this end.
As for the guitar line - definatly re-record it, don't drop it in the mix, it's mixed just right.
jues.
Mar 16, 2003 09:27 pm Flame, thats a bit of a differant sound for you. I like it, especially the shift for the twisted samples and such, then silence, the the whole thing starts bangin. I cant wait to hear it when its finished. jues made some good suggestions, I will leave it at that for now, and give it a listen a bit louder tommorrow.
Mar 16, 2003 10:17 pm Flame, Please don't mistake me. I think you growing by leaps and bounds! I am just an obsesive compulsive old fart. Working like hell to get that crystal clear jazz combo sound. You know every little sound right there. So I hear your drums and guitar and want to clean them up because the quality is there. Of course that is not the sound you are searching for. I just can't make the leap because my head is too busy with the sound I am looking for.
Damn good work dude!
Mar 16, 2003 10:33 pm Hey everyone, Walt lookin for the lost chord again.
Mar 17, 2003 04:26 am lol, fair enough walt!
gonna start rerecording the guitar bits today and have an arse about with some vocals maybe...cheers for yer input guys!
Mar 17, 2003 08:45 am I know I put that dad gum thing someplace here.
Ah Um!
Mar 17, 2003 07:20 pm ha! wow! great use of samples dude! that's got alot of potential right there. what are using to sequence your samples?
Mar 18, 2003 06:10 am intuitive mx...its alright eh? had to bounce it a couple of times to run all the effects i wanted, but got there in the end!
Mar 19, 2003 01:45 am Yeah, intuitive mx is a nifty little app.
Mar 20, 2003 10:24 am when it works...its giving me aggro at the minute...
