HOW IS THAT EVEN POSSIBLE?

I'm the forum mod. My toan can assrape your face because I say it does.

Stock Telecaster --> NMV AC30. Same setup as always, plugged into the high gain input of Top Boost, low gain jumpered to the high gain of Normal. Both volumes @ 2:00. There were some pedals in between.

By which I mean the left hand side is the Geiger Counter beating it down to, like, 3 bits and the right hand side is the Synth Wah generating a square wave + octave. There's a take up the center with the OCD as a boost and sounding like a normal guitar but that's lower in the mix.

Nady RSM-4 ribbon mic on the Greenback, Shure KSM27 LDC on the Blue. ART DMPA with NOS Mullards via SPIDF into my Focusrite.

I threw Decapitator (modeling the Chandler/EMI TG Channel, FWIW) on this 'cause it Adds Something, and a noise gate versus doing it manually mostly 'cause I'm lazy.

No bass or synths on this yet; I'll probably be tracking those later this week. Drums are SD2, which I will replace with our real drummer in the near future.

Suuure, whatever you say, bud.


It sounds fuzzy. It also sounds Snaxie.

What song is that?

Something I've posted up before.

One of my bandmembers is throwing down on this with the Prophet tonight.

So that is your own song...... it can have major potential with the right front man. Some one like Scott Weiland or something

Thank you sir! That's quite the compliment. A few people who've heard the whole thing live compared it to NIN.

The guitars are mine, our other guitarist/keyboardist wrote the main synth parts. I have some backing stuff I'll probably throw in there with Absynth and the Novation and there's a distorted breakbeat behind the drums in the verse. Melodic vocals from said other band member; I've been doing the shouty backups.

It'll be cool when we're done.

Im hoping ull have some outrageous vocalist on the track, perferably alt rock style with a bad fucking attitude.

Assuming it sounds recorded how it sounds to me in the room jamming it out, we may actually deliver the goods you're hoping for.

D:

I am realizing more and more that you and I have similar tastes in toanes.

You just pull them off a lot better.

I would let you engineer my rawk album in a heartbeat, you lovely bastard.


This sounds fucking awesome, mang.

...or I'm older and have thus been recording longer and have spent more time trying to get them "to tape", as it were. Take your pick.

I appreciate the compliment though!

Next time you're in the area, why don't you come over and play something that says "Fender" on the headstock through a really loud AC30 and a bunch of random pedals that may or may not produce sounds that kinda sound like a guitar?



Synths are tracked on this (my goddess, does the Prophet sound fuckin' massive!), doing bass (Musicman --> GK rig, FWIW. Do you like Tool and/or The Cure?) later this week. Live drums (oh, there's programming! ) and vocals to follow.

IT'S COMING BACK TO YOU.

Also: breakbeats --> distortion = .
