Worm Hole

Posted: Sat Jun 28, 2008 9:57 pm

Just a little jam to get some recording time in. Its called "Worm Hole". Kind of simple, but fun. Was done in a few hours, so I didnt have much time to mix it. Let me know what it needs. I think the bass drum and snare are too loud. But it may be Im tired. Next tune will be a cover and its time to pick a complicated one. Here is the link.

damn i wish i could get that visceral bass tone ya got going on!

whats the bass setup if ya dont mind?

The bass guitar is ran through my Boss GT8 (I used some crunch/chorus preset) then into my mixer. I need to start writting these presets down. The GT8 is for guitar but works pretty good for bass too. I find a little bit of chorus on a bass will make it stand out better.

They are not Midi drums !!!!! Actual drums . Here is how I usually do things. I play to a drum loop, I just jam too it on guitar while recording. If something sounds ok I work on it. I do all the guitar work and vocals (if needed), then play the actual drums to the song. I use 7 mics on the set with 2 room mics. Then I mix. Pretty simple.

Thanks Remy. The country stuff will be a challenge. Im a rocker when it comes to my own stuff. But I have thaught about rocking out a Johnny Cash song. My son said he would like to do "Ring of fire", metal style. Smile

My recordings are getting progressively better. I read alot and record alot. Plus I spend more time on them. I have a long way to go, but I feel like Im learning everyday and that makes me feel good. Thanks for the comments.

Thanks. Ive got a 16 channel, Mackie 1640 Onyx I use. I mix out of the box though. The mixer sends a clean signal to my DAW, so I cant use it to mix. But the preamps on it are very clean (maybe too clean), as I find out on the country mixes Ive been playing with. I may at some point get a control unit for my DAW. But damn they are expensive. Smile

Ive got kids keeping my wallet empty.
