kingforaday Posted December 21, 2010 Share Posted December 21, 2010 hey all, in the summer i recorded 8 songs with me playing Guitar, Bass & Drums + 3 lots of vocals. basically tried to make it sound like a 3 piece band all singing... see what you reckon: [url="http://www.myspace.com/thebastardsonsuk"]The Bastard Sons[/url] Cheers Matt Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jigster Posted December 21, 2010 Share Posted December 21, 2010 good work mate - the production sounds spot on, good mix - the vocals feel perhaps weakest, they sound a bit dry and don't have a lot of tone somehow, but that's just preference and I really am NOT a producer so feel free to ignore me!! I'd love to hear a bit about the set up of the recordings - ie. did you get loan of a studio? How did you capture the drum tracks, and which track did you lay down first? Also what software you used.. Nice work Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nice work[/quote] cheers fo the reply, it was recorded at a local studio, I recorded a guide bass with a click track at home on audition, then rehearsed drums to that, went in the studio (they used logic 9 i believe) and recorded drums to the bass click tracks, then bass, then guitar and then all the vocals. Cheers for taking the time to give it a listen! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AntLockyer Posted December 27, 2010 Share Posted December 27, 2010 I really like it. I'm inspired enough to work on my vocals to do my own solo effort. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm inspired enough to work on my vocals to do my own solo effort.[/quote] cool! yeah i'm no singer and only very recently, last year sometime, ever actually sang in front of anyone (backing vocals in a band i joined) but its definitly worth giving it a go! the whole solo album thing may be a lonely way to go but i really enjoyed it, sounds obvious but everytime i finished something i thought "right now the guitar/bass/whatever.... oh yeah thats me as well, awesome!" also i guess as with all of the stuff i did on this its easier to do it yourself than try to explain to someone how you want it played/sung without sounding like a dictator! cheers for listening and good luck with your project!
