botanika Posted June 22, 2011 (edited) Recorded in my apartment recently. I'm on guitars and vocals. The drummers using an electronic V-drum kit. Its not as good as mic'ing a real kit but far easier and free. http://www.reverbnation.com/play_now/song_8950091 Edited June 22, 2011 by botanika Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

platypii Posted June 23, 2011 I really like Into The Light. Kinda reminds me of 80's Motorhead...Catchy melody (I was singing along already by my second listen) and cool guitar solo. I guess you know that the drums sound really bad though; the fills are very robotic. Have you heard the swedish band, Witchcraft? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F_JhuvcqP_Q I reckon if you were able to produce the tunes to have that vintage/retro valve sound you would really bring out the atmosphere that is already present... Thanks for posting that man, if you got any more throw it up... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Psylo Posted June 23, 2011 Cool. The guitar reminds me a bit of Voivod's slower material. And the chorus of KISS Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Thanks for posting that man, if you got any more throw it up... The V-drums don't trigger properly either. Not very consistent. But we did 38 songs in one afternoon and I overdubbed guitars and vocals later. Would have cost a fortune at a studio. Ive got no idea when it comes to mastering, I just whacked a limiter on. Haven't heard of Witchcraft - I'll check em out - but my amp is made in Sweden! Cheers guys thanks for the listen Edited June 23, 2011 by botanika Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Psylo Posted June 23, 2011 (edited) . Haven't heard of Witchcraft - I'll check em out Check out the Witchcraft album "The Alchemist" as your first exposure to the band. IMO it is their best. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-PYEMyyAd_Q Edited June 23, 2011 by Psylo Dread Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

There's some good overlooked stuff in that era Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

platypii Posted June 24, 2011 If you want, I'd be happy to do a basic mastering of your tracks... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
botanika Posted June 24, 2011 If you want, I'd be happy to do a basic mastering of your tracks... What are you using? Im using Ozone, Waves bundle and Sonnox stuff. My original wav's are like 40-50MB each, Id have to work out how to get it to you. But I would be interested. Its all too easy to make everything extreme so I ended up only doing mild limiting, some MB comp and a para EQ cut to remove some mud. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
