Feb 29, 2004 11:03 am or i could listen to the one you asked for...lol
i gotta read things properly...
Feb 29, 2004 11:05 am ok, yeah its class. the quite bits of the vocal were a little buried, but they give a cool early nirvana sound to the music. great drum work (and sound) the guitars rock and its melodic to boot.
top work man, and welcome to the forum!
Feb 29, 2004 12:40 pm thank you for taking the time to listen and post a response! i really appreciate your feedback.
Feb 29, 2004 12:50 pm no probs mate! you can check mine out by clicking the www link under this post if ya like.
and again, welcome to the forum!
Feb 29, 2004 01:12 pm i listened to a couple of your songs. sounds good!!! especially for the budget and equipment used. well done!
Feb 29, 2004 01:21 pm budget? what budget?
thanks for listening man!
Feb 29, 2004 01:46 pm Very pro sounding, great rock, strong vocals I liked it quite a bit. You should fill out the info page for the band on SC.

thanks for the feedback! i will probably get around to filling out the info page on soundclick one of these days...
Feb 29, 2004 07:46 pm Great job on this one, it's very polished sounding. Everything sits well in the mix and the performance is impeccable. The vocals could come up a bit, and I mean just a very small bit.
I've gotta know how this was recorded & produced, especially the vocals and guitar. It sounds as if you have some very nice gear to play with :)
I can tell ya that you no longer have to work up courage to post music here!
Mar 01, 2004 12:38 am tadpui, thanks for taking the time to listen and for the kind words! as far as the the vocals go, they were recorded using a Neuman U-87. we had i think 6 or so vocal tracks to work with. the guitar sound actually sucks compared to what it could have been (this is actually a long story), but what you hear came out of a mesa boogie dual rectifier head on a 4x12 cabinet. there were some other guitar tracks done with a triple rectifier on a fender 110 solid state amp (most of the crybaby stuff). and overall we probably had 6 or so guitar tracks on this song to play with. the bass sound was crap due to poor tracking so we had to tunnel it into the song and hope that it would work.
Mar 01, 2004 07:43 am Very full sound- super mix, very strong vocals and musician ship. nice and tight. im gonna have to listen to some more. Cant believe youve been holding out!
Mar 02, 2004 12:05 pm Reminds me of a cross between Soundgarden and Prong. Sounds great - vocals are a little "backgroundy" as previously mentioned. Nice job, man! Lotta songs there... you've been saving these up a while, eh? :) Anyhow, cool song. I'll have to check out your other stuff, there's like a whole album there... Tony, you have a competitor for the Most Voluminous Online Collection award! hahahahaha
Mar 02, 2004 01:56 pm thanks for the kind words. i agree about the vocals, but unfortunately we had to keep them back cuz of some issues created during tracking that would have become too noticeable if they were out front more.
yeah, there's 13 songs posted on soundclick... i probably just should have posted a couple...
Mar 02, 2004 09:38 pm You have some good tunes there colinear. And welcome to HRC.
I found that track to be a very good tune, although the others have a much better finished sound. Sounds like you have pretty tight band there as well. My only sugestion would be to refine the miccing of the toms as they tend to jump out on occasion. They seem to be panned pretty hard at times this might be cuasing them to sound a bit loud in parts of the tunes. You defintaely have a good sound going for the most part on all the other tunes though.
Hang out and ask all the questions you like. You will find this place to be full of good peeps with lots of good info and always willing to help.

thanks for listening and for the kind words. the drums were mic'd up all wrong, you're right. man what a horror story! but i'll save that tale for another day! thanks again!
Mar 03, 2004 07:49 pm i liked it lots. it sounds great!
reminds me a bit of an old band called gruntruck i used to listen to, in the vocal style.
can i download these songs? this is a style i like and i'd like to stick em in my mp3 playa. gotta be a member?
Mar 04, 2004 01:48 pm oh yes, gruntruck... those guys rocked!! thanks for listening and providing feedback.
feel free to download... all you have to do is right-click on the 'mp3' link to the right of each song you want to download. after you right-click a menu box will pop up. click on the 'save target as...' selection and choose where on your computer you want to save the mp3 file. i hope that helps! also, if you have any friends that are into this kind of music please tell them to check it out. thanks!
Mar 05, 2004 07:33 pm forty good call, I could not remember the band it reminded me of but indeed it was gruntruck.
colinear, your tunes are now in mine playlist and one of my sons heard it and had me tranfer them onto his drive as well. Your winning some fans here it looks like. He is having a small party this evening and plans on playing the tune for them as well. Im sure that will gleen you a few as well.
Mar 07, 2004 04:06 pm Noize2u,
i'm glad your son liked the song! i hope his friends like it as well...
Mar 07, 2004 08:11 pm Oh yes they did all like it. He emailed you link out to several of them so they could go listen to your stuff again there as well. You were a big hit with them that night.
Mar 09, 2004 04:18 am cool! it's nice to hear that somebody actually likes this stuff!
Mar 09, 2004 08:11 pm I like it, as do several others it would appear.
My son did ask how you guys came up with the name Bot though. His buddies thought that was kinda kool.
And as I said earlier, you guys have a pretty polished sound going. I think you will do well with it.
