cheddatom Posted September 1, 2008 Share Posted September 1, 2008 There are plenty of artists who don't put their stuff on iTunes that demonstrate otherwise. Yep. The Premature Ejaculators for example. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JJ Posted September 1, 2008 Share Posted September 1, 2008 you utilise them all, not one. and it should be on all sites similar to itunes worldwide, so that's the basics covered sounds good haze! headphase scripture (song) is a favourite Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest bshuker Posted September 1, 2008 Share Posted September 1, 2008 Demo of the Cornford here: http://soundclick.com/share?songid=6855916 It's not actually mic'd up here, this is with an impulse to emulate the cabinet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest bshuker Posted September 2, 2008 Share Posted September 2, 2008 Bump to say I actually have updated it and its got a better Impulse on there now so sounds more true to the cab. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Apoplexia Posted September 8, 2008 Share Posted September 8, 2008 Substiture A demo of a song from my next album. Bet you can't guess which band I was inspired by And the vocals are a little bit quiet, I know. Tis only a demo so I don't forget how it's meant to go, but I like feedbackz. Also, the strings sound like crap because it's only Garageband's synth's, and they suck. But I'll be using Logic for the final thing. All feedback appreciated.

Fernando Posted September 8, 2008 Share Posted September 8, 2008 Not bad. I don't feel like that bassline you grabbed from Newborn really fits the rest of the song though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JJ Posted September 8, 2008 Share Posted September 8, 2008 not badd the little guitar solo bit probably would sound better tremolo picked (UBER FAST PICKING LULZ) than letting them ring. good overall. vocals need MOAR volume. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the_man361 Posted September 8, 2008 Share Posted September 8, 2008 tip - in pop/rock songs that you're making yourself, compress the living crap out of the vocals, and control their actual level throughout the song with volume automation. theyll be much more upfront.

Dramatic Hammer Posted September 8, 2008 Share Posted September 8, 2008 run a heavily compressed and treble-heavy (liek almost distorted) vocal track just under the main one (same audio) - basically an exciter but controllable. Then set up a reverb -> compression bus and it sounds super Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cheddatom Posted September 9, 2008 Share Posted September 9, 2008 You should all be doing this with your guitar and bass rigs anyway! Dry guitar, mixed with heavily compressed guitar, going into your amp. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cheddatom Posted September 10, 2008 Share Posted September 10, 2008 fuck no. Lol, any justification for that? Ever tried it? When I say heavy compression, I mean low threshold, high ratio, short attack. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
