Welp, I'm out of Nur Ein, so there's nothing on my mind but my hat.
I only made it to round 4, but it was more stressful than last year. The contestants were/are awesome.
Todays question of the day is brought to you by the letter F.
What words would best fill in the blanks as to how you feel at this moment? If it wasn’t for my _________ then __________.
Still working hard on the album, although now I have a sore throat (I think because of the chlorine-based crap I was using to clean my bathroom yesterday, but it's possible I'm coming down with something).
qotd: ineptitude, my guitar solos wouldn't suck so bad
Hey Flufstar, that sounds pretty cool. If Caravan Ray and Depeche Mode had a baby, it would be that song. I like the moody flow. I know you didn't ask for opinions, but I'd pull the lead guitar solo back a smidg and let it echo out at the end. Just me.
even tho Caravan Rays answer is pretty funny too, but unfurtunetly they did not have video back in the 1700’s, cuss am pretty sure it would have been on youtube or youporn by now.
Thanks, I'll try that for my next take. If I haven't gushed enough about it, by the way, I really, really love the comping feature in Logic 8. It makes it really easy to try alternate approaches, and it also makes cycle recording useful for once.
My other disappointment is in how poorly the massive choir effect towards the end turned out. It's kind of buried in the mix. When I listen to it on its own it sounds pretty good though. (In a separate project file I recorded 12 vocal layers, and half of them I did a 30% mix with the vocal transformer to simulate sopranos. Then I panned the tracks roughly how I'd expect a real choir to stand.) I was hoping for something like an epic gospel choir.
I've updated the mp3 if anyone cares. For some reason my solos always sound really good when I'm practicing and such but then as soon as I hit the record button they turn to ass. Performance anxiety?
