"how about if i look off the the side when we take the picture guys? you think that will look cool?"
whoa! were you there? how'd you know?
awesome guitar on ready to talk vocals could use some more emotion sounds like he is high. which are you?
guitar AND vocals. you win some, you lose some, i guess.
i had never sung before playing in this band and all these recordings are a year to 1.5 years old, so i'd like to think i'm a little better now.
Tell your engineer to turn up the fader on the vocal a bit
We engineered them ourselves. they were just recorded in our practice space. We'd never recorded anything "for reals" before, so mistakes were bound to be made. I hear that the vocals sound too low from just about everyone I talk to, but I still disagree. I think what people are responding to is that, for the most part, the vocals have not been doubled or processed or anything like that, which, besides compression, are the most common "pump ups" for vocals that I hear in "pro" recordings. The more and closer I listen to other recordings out there, I'm finding that even records that I thought had really straight, clean vocals actually use a lot of doubling, delay, reverb, etc. So on our next, we'll be using some more of that ourselves, as well as better equipment. and hopefully better performances, too.
