Feb 18, 2003 09:09 pm Dude, inbetween the other stuff, yes. I will work on it a bit. But dB and I need to finish the flick first, and I do have one other hot project to finish. But, yes I will give ya some time and effort. Just be a bit patient.
Feb 18, 2003 11:26 pm Interesting story about the samples... they were a complete accident.
We were all set up to record one cold January night, and we realized we had no tape for the 4-track. We asked my mom if she had any old tapes that we could record over. I guess we pressed record on some of the tracks before the others, because that's what was left over in mixdown. We thought it was funny, and we left it in.
Hope we don't get sued... although it was an unlabeled tape, and at that speed I have no idea who it was. Although my guess would be Garcia... just because I know my mom... but I can't say for sure.
Feb 19, 2003 06:26 am i couldn't tell what it was. it was just garbled chipmunks until i time-stretched it to 200% in Wavelab (i just had to know).
that's a pretty good sounding recording for a 4-track. tell me, did you mixdown straight out of the 4-track or did you record each track into your computer and mix there?
BTW, your drummer is *awesome*!
Feb 19, 2003 08:41 am Mixed straight from the 4-track into Goldwave (a freeware .wav editor).
Oh, and thank you for the drummer comment. I'll make sure to tell myself you said that. Haha. :-)
Feb 20, 2003 01:34 am oh! i thought you were the bassist!
i'm listening to those tracks right now. i think i'll take a stab at this tonight or this weekend.
can i mail you a CD when I'm done? just email me your snailmail addy and i'll get that out to you soon as it's finished (or did somebody already beat me to it?)
Feb 20, 2003 06:46 am Nope... nobody else has submitted yet... I'll e-mail you my address Jamie...
Mar 01, 2003 08:18 am Dum dum dum... March 1st and my inbox is empty. For those of you mailing CD's, there is a mailing address on my bands website: www.nooneshero.com
Mar 07, 2003 02:28 am ::grins:: oops! well, i think i've got something. i've been pondering that muddy thing for awhile and today it just hit me. *multiband compression*. so i went back and boosted those upped freqs and now it's a little more fresh than before. not much... but it's noticable. i also very slightly reverberated the whole thing to make it all bigger than life. i really dig "ska song". i think it should be called "rent-a-cop"
you guys rock. i'll have this in the mail when i wake up (friday). if you're lucky you'll have it saterday. but given our postal service, we'll just say monday ;O) -j
Mar 07, 2003 05:49 am Actually we re-named "Ska Song" to "Authority." I really wanted to call the demo "What's Up, Rent-a-cop?" but the other guys said no. Oh well. I'll be looking for the CD.
Mar 07, 2003 06:54 am The best demo name I heard of was from some freinds of mine named "Scratch", the bass player (who has been to HRC once or twice) wanted to name it "Where the **** are my pants?"
hahahahahaha, tha other wussies wouldn't though...can even imagine the cover of that CD in your mind?

Mar 09, 2003 09:05 pm Yep, now that is a visual album cover. Kinda like the scorpions cover for Love at First Sting. They banned it in america, so I had to order a copy right from Germany.
Mar 09, 2003 09:29 pm That's funny... it's really funny because one night a long time ago my band, and our enterage (did I spell that right?) were all passed out on my living room floor, and mom's boyfriend come's down the stairs at 6am on a Sunday morning... "Anybody seen my pants?"
