Nov 04, 2009 12:35 am ha ha ha, the lyrics are funny on younger.
for some reason im only getting it out of one speaker tho
Nov 04, 2009 06:56 pm Had a quick listen to them both. And ya, Younger is really leaning on the left speaker with the guitar, vocal and bass. The drums seem to be spread OK between left and right.
I gotta ask before I comment though. Are you shooting for the mid rangy kinda old school garage punk sound?
Nov 04, 2009 10:50 pm Yeah, I'm getting the same thing here too. Sounds like something was really panned to the left. Not hard left, just...mostly left. Were you double tracking and just forgetting to set the panning on the other tracks or something?
The sound is a bit mid rangey like noize said, but I'm wondering if the bass will come through a little better once the sound is more even across the stereo image.
It doesn't sound bad by any means, and I think the recording is good and clean sounding.
Nov 04, 2009 11:09 pm I can't offer much help on the mixing, and personally this style isn't my cup of tea. BUT that being said. I listened to face breaker an hour ago, and its still stuck in my head! There's definitely something catchy about all that repetition :]
Nov 05, 2009 08:19 am deon: yeah i'm not sure what prompted those lyrics, usualy when i write songs i just try out different chord progressions with semi random lyrics that seem to go with it, and then expand on it. and i prefer my music to be rather light hearted vithout getting to far into outright comedy. but the younger lyrics just came out pretty easy, i get differnt interpertations from dif listeners, some thinks its funny some say it sounds "angry bitter and woman hating" which is far from what i intended
Noize2u. about genre, i'm not really sure what i'm shooting for or if anything at all. i just kinda write and record what comes to me, but i'm definately not going for a big produced major studio sound, so i guess garagey would be close, and i definately lean a bit more punkish on most my tracks i guess the midrangey could be my inexperience at mixin an mastering or it just may be where i tend to like the sound at :) you have any examples of the midrange garage punk? i'd like to check some out. for some reason when listening back to facebreaker now it sounds like a mix between ramones and whoever did the 80's song our lips are sealed. well thats what i think of.
j-bot: thanks for the comment on the recording, i've been playing and recording for many years (maybe one day i'll get good) and here recently i've gotten a decent home setup, tho i wish i had more space, i'm almost crammed into a closset. i record almost every thing direct in nothing is mic except vocals (and if i could plug into my head an skip the mic on that i would.)
Fragile: glad you found it catchy, i had a friend complaining he had "left right hook" in his head all day facebreaker was weird cause most of my songs are almost story format like younger and undead wife, with a decent amount of lyrics, about something. and face breaker was just me practicin singin ao i just wrote somethin that repeated a lot, never planned it makin a song out of it. but i think it turned out fairly catcny an fun.
Everyone: i'll hit up younger an try an even out the mixxing. one of the flaws with my tiny recording space is not being able to spread out my speakers to get a good stereo on the mixing. i'll post again in a bit with a new mix.
my main flaw with recordin has always been singin. i can play guitar decent enuff to have fun making this kinda music, and i can play bass decently enuff (tho lately i've been using broomstick bass, verry crashy but sounds nice. and drums i'm using ezdrummer. but i've never been able to hold a tune ever. so i decided lately to practice on that prob is, i can tell when i'm not singing in key but its hard to know by how much i'm off. i gues my ears are just not that good yet.
so for facebreaker i made the music, then i made a midi track in prologue of just a keyboard playin at the pitch i wanted the vocals, in this case just the root of the song e d b and a then i exported that to a wav and imported it in and used it to track the notes with auto tune, then i could record on that track and autotune would pitch shift me to match, this sounds terrible if you are way off, so i practiced singin it till i was getting close enough for it to sound like decent human vocals, then i started recordin without autotune to get even closer, i did end up auto tuning a bit cause i'm not quiet there yet. but i feel face breaker is my closest atempt at singin yet..
Nov 05, 2009 11:43 pm I've got a busy weekend which I wasn't planning on having. But that said. I will try and find a couple of examples of what I'm talking about. Ramones early stuff mught be close but was still a bit more polished then what I'm talking about.
