Hi, everyone. Please allow me to introduce myself.
I’m a professional web developer with an un-ending need for music.
I was with a band and we didn’t have any money, so I decided to figure out how to record our own albums.
A year and a half later, I found myself with a very low budget recording studio which consisted of a couple of SM-57’s, an AudioTechnica condenser, a few dynamic drum mics, an 8-channel pre-amp, and an M-audio 1010 PC interface.
Using ardour, jamin, Muse, and a bunch of LADSPA plugins, we created this song.
This was done about 3 years ago, but I only recently came upon this forum.
Listening to this song now, it all seems a bit muddy to me (although considering the price of the equipment, I think it also is reasonably high-quality).
I just was wanting a few other opinions from people who understand audio recording, and what ardour can do.
Thanks for your comments, Aidy. The writer of that song was the player of the electric (distorted) guitar, so he made the calls there. I agree that the song could sound quite good with the distortion completely out, but, what can ya do?
I like it very much
I have a few remarks though (purely on instinct, I’m not a pro in any way)
I think it’d sound so much better if the chord spread on the guitars wasn’t so low, but contained more clear high notes. I also wouldn’t add so much distortion (or whatever makes that hard rock sound) to the guitars…
Anyway what I would do is, bring out the bass and the keys out more, then the acoustic/distortionless guitar (there is one in there right?) and then at the lowest level the heavy rockish guitars - if you still want them.
It’s definitely got hit potential, but then again, what does that mean
