TGF Do Something Challenge Season 7 Week 1

[nightlight]

Mostly happy with it, although I'll probably wake up in the morning and hear something wrong with it.

I do this all the time too. Quite frustrating to upload, listen again later and then have to tweak every again and reupload multiple times.

Nice! Thanks for sharing nightlite!! Glad to see your stuff hittin' here on the Challenge ;~)) See, your not alone!!!

Sorry I messed up your quote. I uploaded once, listened later, and then uploaded again just now.

In my defence, I am terrible at mixing.

Nice! What gear did you use?

Thanks - it was 2 guitars:

Carvin DC150 w SD SH-5
Charvel SoCal w SD JBJ

Double tracked each using a bastardized form of:

Tsangarides' "Vortex" Micing Technique​

Tsangarides' "Vortex" Micing Technique

There's always something new to learn... “[The vortex] is a microphone technique I happened upon when I was doing Sad Wings of Destiny,” Tsangarides told Ultimate Guitar in 2011. “I used it on the solo for ‘Victim Of Changes,’ K.K Downing’s solo, which was actually the first thing I got to...

Using a combo of SM57 on speaker + room mic iRs.

"Amp" was Neural DSP Mesa Boogie 2c+ VST

EQ, tape satch, mix bus compression for guitars.

It's a very rough take.

I think I should stop messing around with this track. I redid the vocals and also worked really hard at the mix. This is the final product (which I have updated in the original post I made).



Really happy with the bass, in particular. I've been thinking of selling my Warwick Vampyre SN-5, because I've always felt it sounded anaemic. But this mix really brought it out, in my humble opinion.

Hmm, I think Audius is not available in Singapore. I don't see a link, unfortunately.

Hey, I updated my post with a Soundcloud link. Going forward I may just link both for convenience sake.

I think I spent around 28 hours in the studio between Sunday/Monday working on that tune, just have a couple bells and whistles to add, the main vocals and the lead. Once it started sounding decent I slowed down a bit to be a bit more purposeful with what I was doing instead of just blasting it out.

My general theme for recording is get in and go without too much time spent thinking about it, but since this is turning out pretty decent I want to to take a bit more time with the last bit of it because I can easily tank it by just throwing down whatever on it and calling it a day.

I know! Just giving you shit. I seem to be going the opposite direction for better or worse. I just need to set aside more time to actually play. I've been slacking these past few months.
