Hey guys check out the link below.
This was recorded all live using a small roland 6 channel desk no outboard at all and just a dry mix.
Let me know what ya think ?

Dec 14, 2008 02:54 pm it sounds nice but there is much room for improving...
you might wanna consider re-recording vocals cause it's really unconsistent in terms of volumes (this could be partly fixed through some compression), quite drowned by the music, it feels really dry as well, I'd like to hear some reverb to open the sound a bit... the bass is a bit too loud (apart from the end), and guitar is inconsistent as well... they would both benefit from compression in my opinion.
drums sound a bit dull too, maybe some EQ work could help?
anyway it's a good starting point, and given the total absence of outboard, I don't think you could've done much better, but IMO the recording would really benefit from post production..

Dec 14, 2008 07:25 pm Interesting live kind of feel to it. I'm curious as to the guitar, I could not see if there was a mic on the cab or not. The bass sounded great, DI I'll assume?
The vox, while dry sounded pretty tight to me as well.
It looks like you just went live with a couple of monitor's on the floor then?
How was the kit micced, I see one OH mic and it sounds like on kick and one snare mic?
Dec 16, 2008 05:30 pm Cheers PMSTYEa it was a really simple recording nothing fancey at all we weren't looking to try and get the best recording we could otherwise we would of put alot more into post and pre production
Drum kit was mic'd with just a Kick and overhead
bass was just DI
Guitra was just 1 57
and vocals a 58
We just used to floor monitors at low volume
