[size=4][color=#222222][font=Arial]Thanks for the feedback guys.[/font][/color] [color=#222222][font=Arial]I should probably edit the first post as its unclear but they were not 4 track recordings im afraid! I had meant to say it was a 4 track ep but I was tired and had spent far too long staring at a computer screen![/font][/color] [color=#222222][font=Arial]We are looking into a real drummer for a live set up but I just don’t have the means to record them at present unfortunately so the electronic stuff just makes it a bit more manageable until I can justify a full set of mics and pre's![/font][/color] [color=#222222][font=Arial]With regards to teh kit this was all done in my front room with a zoom r16, Focusrite ISA 1 and AT4033a. The bass was an Aria Pro ii which I pulled the frets out of![/font][/color] [color=#222222][font=Arial]We have been lucky and had a few plays on BBC radio this last week which is nice but doesn’t mean a whole lot just yet. It was good to hear that the songs still sounded good despite the BBC doing their best to crush the life out of them! [/font][/color] [color=#222222][font=Arial]Si - we have a couple of new songs coming together already so will be in touch hopefully at some point in the new year if you're happy to do some more work for us [/font][/color][/size]

I recently recorded a 4 track with a friend of mine. We are putting it out under the name 'Plastic Dinosaurs'. Si was kind enough to master the songs for us and, considering this is the first proper project I have completed, I'm really happy with them. Si did a fantastic job and really helped out in some areas as well! You can find the songs here -> http://plasticdinosaurs1.bandcamp.com/ I also made a fool of myself in a video we made for one of the songs -> http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HKLinjV11mY (I don't know how to embed it im afraid!) Any feedback or comments welcome - especially on the mixes as this is the recording forums. Adam

[quote name='lurksalot' timestamp='1379447738' post='2212901'] I noticed on my September track that soundcloud seemed to compress and smiley EQ my entry , would this happen twice if I loaded it for Si and then when he loaded it again ? This might affect the way I present it in the first instance IYSWIM [/quote] [size=3][color=#222222][font=Arial]Soundcloud has a download function so as long as you have your tracks set to download then Si (and others when all the mix files are released) can download the original WAV files. Any compression applied by the online soundcloud player wont be heard on downloaded files, as I understand it. [/font][/color] [color=#222222][font=Arial]I haven’t been involved with these yet and really wanted to do this month but I have been busy with other stuff unfortunately [/font][/color][/size]

Just sold pair of 'little blondie' mics to Ash. The whole deal was very quick and easy. Ash is a top bloke and kindly passed on a bit of advice regarding studio monitors and room set up so I got a little something out of the deal on top of the $$ which was a result. I would not hesitate dealing with Ash again.

I was struggling to hear my mix amongst these......turns out I sent Si the standard and not secret link to my track this month so he could not access it. Public apologies to Si for any inconvenience and thanks again for putting this all together! If anyone has any tolerance for country left after this im going to post my mix in the hope of a bit of feedback. I was rushed but its my first attempt with 'well recorded' tracks so I would be interested to hear what others think if anyone gets round to it. Of the tracks submitted 3 stood out for me and i really struggled to pick one over the rest - each had elements i liked. In the end i'm not really sure why i made my vote from a technical point of view, it was more to do with the feel of the mix as a whole.

[quote name='Twigman' timestamp='1368613435' post='2079122'] The K14-meter effectively recalibrates 0db to -14db (this is over simplified explanation) so although @ 0db on K14-meter it is -14db on a 'normal' metering and yes, green meters [/quote] Thanks Twig. I actually have K-meter on the rendered WAV and its showing as lower than on the mix project so im not sure whats up but going to put it in anway if there is still time? Not had long to spend on this so it wont be 'interesting' as Si seems to be hinting that some are!

Hi, Is there any reason why the k-meter would be showing at near 0 on the 'mix' session but only -16 on the rendered wav? both sessions sound approximately the same volume. Also, just to double check it is the green meters were intrested in for this, not the floating white/red bars?

I dont post very often but I think this is a great idea so going to be giving it ago! I also have a song or two which I would be more than happy to supply stems for to see what others do with them. I will put the full tracks up [url="http://soundcloud.com/adam-wells-3"]here[/url] shortly if people are interested.

Just sold a couple of 10" speakers to Rich and as has already been said countless times Rich is easy to deal with and is a top bloke as well.
