This is our first song with the new band. We are now called Six Cylinder( we used to be ill fortune). This is was recorded at home so be aware, but it is pretty decent. Plz give feedback.

just remixed the song and made the vocals louder!!!

[ill_fortune]

Anyone?

[GuitarComet]

I liked the song.
The vocals were too far in the background to hear well,
But I think that is a good thing, as the singer wasn't that good.
The distorted guitar part that was seemingly picking the same notes over & over needs to go! It sucked and brought the whole song down.
Overall, not bad. Just recut the other guitar, make it less distorted and tighten it up some (It was kinda sloppy).
It's hard to get a good singer as your recording blatently shows.
Don't feel bad, it's a common problem. :lol:

[ill_fortune]

thanks i guess. anymore

^^^Don't know what this twats on about

It's a great song the twat above obviously doesn't know how hard it is being in a band trying to make your stuff sound as good as your hero's.
Don't change the song's compistion just re-record it till u get it right.

Dear Encore75,
I'm a 41 year old guitar player that has been playing guitar for 25 years!
I'm no twat (you dirty little cunt), I'm just giving my honest opinion.
With my vast knowledge & experience in music, you should RESPECT my opinion!
But I guess you have no respect for anyone!

Once again...good song, dude!

[ill_fortune]

Hey guys thanks for your comments i appreciate all of them so plz don't turn this in to a slam thread
thanks anymore

[Dumpweedrock]

its not bad, but i used to listen to your stuff as ill fortune, and i have to say, the ill fortune stuff was better than this.

[purple_passion_rocket]

it is very cliche'

[ill_fortune]

thanks guys the singing is a little rough but i think it can get worked out hopefully. LOL

[Axl_Rose86]

nice song dude, but the vocals were a little shaky

[ill_fortune]

yeah i know the vocals were a little shaky but i am hoping he gets better. It might just be this song cause some other ones are actually pretty good.

[Kayetan]

The intruments were decent. Not really my prefered style of music though. The vocals sounded incredibly forced though. They kinda just made it sound like any other typical emo/alternative song.

[AJtheguitarist]

I liked it. You get the AJ Seal Of Approval.

[tgrover]

music was decent enough on this one.. Already been said but the vocalist just needs to practise more... you can hear he has got potential.

[Rats]

You guys need to turn your gain waaaay down. There's so much clipping?? i think that's what it's called, when the tracks are too loud and distort themselves. Tell your singer to try and sing a quieter cuz it sounds like he's pushing way too hard.

[Fatal-Division]

I would say I agree with whats said, but I really didn't think the vocals were as terrible as some people may have suggested... your vocalist seems closer to hard rock though than Post Hardcore, which may be something you'd want to capitalize on....

I agree though that it's somewhat cliche'd (a good representation of the cliche thugh ^_ - )however the main problems are found with the recording and the mix, just play it over again as already suggested and turn the distortion down a slight bit on the lead and a slight bit on the rythm so everything is more clear, work a bit on dynamics, making your quiet parts quieter and loud parts louder, opverall preety decent....the only real problems with this are helped with expierence and feedback like this ;)

[ill_fortune]

thanks man really appreciate it i will definately try that.

[bass_player14]

good but vocals dont need to be so loud.

[ill_fortune]

well **** first people said they were too quiet so then i changed it i guess i made them too loud. i can't seem to get it right. lol

[IMO_Eclipse]

Hey man, best song i've heard in like a half hour lol. Best vocals to, although that's not a huge compliment, they're decent......I'm in a band, and i know musicians are always not a good audience to play to, they tend to be much more harsh than the "majority".....but as i said best song i've heard in the last 30 min. of being on in this forum. I thoguht the drumming was pretty swet too. Good song man.

[ill_fortune]

thanks man really appreciate it. anymore

[eddyibanez]

Drums-Good. Miking could've been better, but dude, for real. They were nice.
Guitars-DUDE. Too muddy, seriously. Turn down gain, and when recording, turn down MORE gain, just to get them to not clip as much, or at all.
Bass-Uhh....didn't hear it, but i might have missed it altogether.
Vox-Not entirely as bad as people are saying, man. It just sounds like he doesn't practice, and his voice isn't refined or well-toned. He needs to practice alot more to sound solid. And maybe drink some water or something too.

Here, check this out, it's one of my band's recordings. I think it may be able to help you get a better idea of what you might be trying to achieve as far as recording goes, k?

BTW. This recording was done with-

Boss BR-1180
2 Shure SM-57's
And a good computer with Steinberg Wavelab.

That's it!

Let me know what gear you're using so i can get a better picture of what you may be doing wrong, based on other folks' reviews of your song...

[swedelead]

Pretty cool, the vox were off in some places and the lead guitar had ****ty tone, also the part of the song about halfway through where it gets heavy was to random you need to put something in before it to build the tension and make it fit. Altogether pretty cool alot better than ill fortune.

[ill_fortune]

yeah eddieibanez your stuff sounds great. We used a fostex mr-8 1 conderser mics and several dynamic mics for the drums. and we pluged the guitars straigt in to the recorder from our pedals and amps. i guess i just need to turn down the gain.

[guitarloser]

are you a gear-head or did you just think the name Six Cylinder sounded cool?

[ill_fortune]

we just thought it sounded cool and orginal

[4timesaday]
