Lozz196 Posted May 6, 2013 Share Posted May 6, 2013 Sounded very Travis to me at the start, then when it all kicks in changed that impression completely. Looks like filming was good fun. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

xilddx Posted May 7, 2013 Share Posted May 7, 2013 It's excellent. I like the song, and the video looks like it was fun to make. I like the little interplayed accents between the drums and bass on the heavy choruses, so simple and so effective. Great stuff, you should be really proud of this.

charic Posted May 7, 2013 Share Posted May 7, 2013 Like! Will definitely buy an album (physical.. not a fan of these new fangled MP3 fingys) if you get one Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bagsieblue Posted May 7, 2013 Share Posted May 7, 2013 Superb - well done - that is a proper song. A song, that does my favourite thing - actually goes somewhere, not the usual verse/chorus/verse/chorus etc all at the same dynamic. Bet it's great to play and to listen to live.

Skol303 Posted May 7, 2013 Share Posted May 7, 2013 Good one Me like. Especially the drop at 3.12! Nicely produced and a slick video too. Where the heck did you film this...? Looks like an interesting location. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xilddx Posted May 8, 2013 Share Posted May 8, 2013 Listening to again now, it's f***ing great Love The Clash section that starts at 1:28, and the section at 2:34 and ends at the metal part. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
allihts Posted May 8, 2013 Author Share Posted May 8, 2013 (edited) Thanks guys it really means a lot to get compliments from musically-minded people! We filmed the music video in an abandoned house just outside of glasgow which was really cool, we just blasted the song for a couple of hours and rocked out! We're touring the UK at the start of June, I'll put the dates in this thread when it's all confirmed and hopefully some of you will make it along and check us out live!!!! Thanks again.

spacey Posted May 14, 2013 Share Posted May 14, 2013 (edited) Great stuff, you just need to find an Engineer who will work on a bass tone now, try introducing a mixed 2 ch of mic up up cab and di mixed unless the warm dull organ pedal tones is the sound you were after. Many recording buffs want the bass done in 1 take straight in the desk, line 6 pod effect compressor on and done. In the good old days they worked at it a bit, hence famous players had distinctive tones. Stand out ! On styles, Rublux meets foo fighters ? Who are Rubylux ? wake up...

RhysP Posted May 14, 2013 Share Posted May 14, 2013 That is really very good. I see you're playing The Moon club in Cardiff - I'll try & come along if I can. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
odysseus Posted May 14, 2013 Share Posted May 14, 2013 Nicely done! Kicks in sweet after the initial mellow intro. Nice grooves and plenty to keep the musicians in the audience interested. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/quote] The bass was actually the engineer/producer's 73 P recorded off a DI and a mic'd ampeg amp+cab, I personally think the tone is quite beefy and suits the rocky feel of the song but I guess everyone has different preferences when it comes to sound otherwise the world would be a very boring place!

spacey Posted May 15, 2013 Share Posted May 15, 2013 I can hear the track screaming out for a bit of highs and click from the bass, but modern recording methods and the fascination to make the whole track as close to loud zero level dont leave you much room. The bass fuzzilator plugin as I call it produces a lovely mid scooped compressed tone when the track is solo, but it is quickly lost in the mix. I dont know, perhaps blending in and not standing out was your aim, but I can hear the need for some more tone on the bass in certain areas. Too many tracks just treat the bass like a over and done and out of the way, who does not crave that small taste of the focused bass lift at a certain part of the track. As a bass player you have to fight to be a bass player and to be heard as a bass player. Think, where would all the heros be if they had the warm dull tone. Let it go man, next time you get a chance to record, make the engineer work for you . I have a playback system here to full studio standard and I can feel the bassline begging for some tone and compressor lift. But hey dont get upset or take offence, you post on a bass forum, expect people to ask to hear the bass. Post on a drummers forum and they will probably ask you to turn it down Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
