Here I am playing with this kid our manager is producing. 

He's pretty nice sounding isn't he?

The sound of the Mp3's stink but dig my sonor siggy snare.  Awesome ain't it?

Good feel for such hard playing!  I like it.

THanks Ryan you are my friend for life.   

Anyways, the locals have high hopes for this young man.  It is pretty much decided that I'm too old to be in his band, but it's alotta fun playing on some of his stuff.

They have a fresh young drummer coming in to do the rest of his record, so we (me and the mouse in my pocket) will have to sit behind the dials and let "Jr." take all the glory from here on out       Actually Hannah should tour with this kid *if they could afford her*

A fan of ours recorded these tunes with a hand-held mic in the back of the room. Not bad, considering!

I have decided to move to this thread for awhile cause I need some excitement and I'm finding this thread exciting.   

Uhmmm?  I hate out of tune guitars?  YOU don't hate me cause of that right?  Oh he sounds like he got it together by the second tune.     Drums sound good right? Sounds like you can lay it down with your bass player.

Okay, I will have to be very careful if I move to this thread.  I think I can handle it.   

me too!

Well, since Felix is here, I guess I have to put something up 

We're getting some of the initial mixes back for our upcoming EP, here's one:

It takes a bit for everyone to come in, the first verse is guitar and vocals only.  There's ONE instance of profanity in the bridge, for those of you who are sensitive to such things. 

I used my Hart Dynamics E-drums, Roland TD-20 Brain, with the vexpressions LTD Timeless Timber kit. 

I'll post one of the uptempo songs, once we finalize a mix. 

Thanks!  I am using rods.  The song was written to be played at a co-workers funeral so the lyrics standing out were the main intent.

   Thanks for that!

The singer's got a great voice, but he could use a little polish.  He tends to move around a lot, tapping feet and moving in and out from the mic.  It's great when we're performing, but not so desirable in the studio.  I'm working with him on that.

Spot on with the guitar.  I'm not crazy about mixing piano with electric guitar, especially since a keyboard piano sound is always perfectly in tune, and a guitar...isn't.  It's the arrangement and sound that they want, though, so I'll let them have it for now. 

I keep hammering it into their heads that if you lay down a sub par track, the final mix is only going to make it worse, not better.  They're starting to improve, but sometimes it's like splitting hairs.
