Hard as fuck to mix with all these gawdamned fans on...
So i fucking won't. This is something odd for me, that will prolly sound like the same old shit to you. Originally this is/was an acoustic thing on a nylon guitar. For gigglesandshits i decided to try to play drums to it. Once again, i messed up the timing in translating it to scratch tracks that were consistent enough for me to record to, but fucking whatev... Thing Of Olde.There was a bass, but it sucked, and the incessant buzz of the fans sapped my will to fixxit, so it is gone now.

Re: Hard as fuck to mix with all these gawdamned fans on...
Yes, the riffings are very cool. Kind of for some reason makes me want to hear a string ensemble along with it?
How are you pointing those overheads?

Re: Hard as fuck to mix with all these gawdamned fans on...
Glyn Johns all day longs, Tor's MXL990s. I think i have them set like 70-80% L+R in the mix.
I also have the whole drum buss sent off to a kind of slammed-to-shit limiter that i have just a smaller amount of in the mix. That is what is giving the cymbals much of their sound.
Additionally, one of the snare mics has a ton of hi-hat on it, i forget if it is top or bottom. Probably top, because that is the MXL2001 and it picks up a lot of stuff.

Re: Hard as fuck to mix with all these gawdamned fans on...
This is too melodic and has major key bits for what you normally do- the riff around 0:25 reminds me of Iron Maiden. So, no, not the same ol' shit. I can hear what you're saying about the hats. 'Cause there are a lot of hats, and they seem rather centered. Parallel SMASH! on the drum bus is almost always awesome. The song is cool though. I hate to say it, but this does sound like a whole complete arrangement here. I mean, sure, there's no bass at the moment, and no vocals, but this is treading awfully close to, er, finishing something.

Re: Hard as fuck to mix with all these gawdamned fans on...
I totally hear that Maiden thing. Though i really dislike Maiden. Partly what it is, to me, is that part is one that changed too much in timing from the old way, something i did somehow in the process of making it consistent in timing enough for being able to record to. I didn't realize it, but what i wound up doing kind of made it go from being sort of a strange off time thing, into kind a really bouncy 4/4 or something. And then all of the melody chords do the rest.

Re: Hard as fuck to mix with all these gawdamned fans on...
Also, it IS kind of weird how this has like all of the parts of a thing that a "song" generally has, right? Also also, now i can't NOT hear the Maiden thing. You sonuvabitch.

Re: Hard as fuck to mix with all these gawdamned fans on...
Aha, yes, I thought Glynn Johns or something. It has that trademark sound of the ride and floor being off to the side... The parallel comp is adding some nice juice.
