I recorded and mixed my stuff on Cubase VST/32. All the vocals and guitars were caught by a Rode NT2 mic into an Art tube preamp, going into a tascam US428 interface for the macG4. I worked loops on ACIDpro and imported them. Later I used Soundtrack on the mac and would import them into the VST session. Programmed drums/bass/keys were done on Reason. The organ is a B4 pugin. Live bass guitar was plugged direct into the Art preamp/tascam. (No amp). I have atmosphere, a sound design program, but used that more in the electronica stuff I'll put up later. Live drums (on four songs) I recorded in Atlanta on the back end of a session for another album I was producing. Sure 57 on the snare, a few basic mics placed in appropriate spots. The acoustic guitars were a Maton (an Aussie gtr) and a Taylor. The electrics were mostly a terada (looks like a gibson f-hole) into a couple of amps. An old Jackson made it one one song. So those are the tech specs. In short I did it myself. I've been engineering and producing for about 12 years. My early self recorded stuff is really bad quality, but I stuck at it and have gotten good enough to make a living, and record everything myself as you can hear. Was born out of necessity. No money, had to record to satisfy artistic desire, so started doing it. So that's what I'd do if I were you man. Don't worry if it;s not perfect, just get some sort of system and start experimenting. Or get some friends, rehearse like crazy, hire a studio and engineer for a day, and capture whatever happens. I used to work for a couple of studios in Sydney, that would have bands come in, hire 5 hours and walk out with a mixed copy of 5 songs. Wouldn't cost a lot. |

I would mix songs for anyone here if you needed. If you send me CDs of the seperate tracks all starting from 0. (Meaning I just import them all and they all start at the same place, even if a track only comes in near the end) I can adjust all the levels, add relevent compressions, verbs, and whathaveyou.
I've got some decent waves plugins, that meant I was able to multiband compress, and maximise the whole mix, so I could master it. It was really empowering. First album I've mastered myself. |

Well it has been sleeping. I am to continue my drumming anytime soon. [img]smile.gif[/img]
As for now, I am starting up a joke band... hahaha nothing serious, I am the vocalist and I will try to push my luck. If I get positive feedback then I will take it into consideration. I still consider myself being a drummer though... and that would be my real band in the future... as for now, it's all acoustic sets and vocals... no gigs or jammings yet... I am excited |

Ack! With school though being a biatch, hmm... but then yes it sounds awesome... I plan on NOT focusing on one genre... so I will have your music, some hip-hop, some whatever (Two out of I think five in the band only have musical experience, and I am one of them already) [img]smile.gif[/img]
And I still have to find my unique voice... I don't want to sound like Alex Band from The Calling or something... |
