Damn. I guess I just hate my voice then.

Any recommendations on a good mic pre?

*S******s at own bad joke*.

Serious comment about this not trying to have a go or anything, but I think for a lot of people spending on some singing lessons would have more benefit than spending on vocal gear straight away.

EDIT: Rofl, you can't write "s n i g g e r".

I'm getting a mic for backups, just a cheapy, I mean live vocals aren't that quality anyway and backup? Hell no, mostly I do 'oohzen ahhs'.

I'll probably get a 57 or a used sm58 if I can get one under $100. Lessons are definitely on my list of things to do.

And that was a bad joke.

Living in Brisbane is a bad joke :p.

What's funny is that I was actually serious when I started typing it.

Dude that sucks, sorry to hear it.

I was trying some plyo push-ups the other day, hard stuff.

I've had vocal lessons. I'm content with my ability to match notes, and I'm getting much better with my control, but I'm not happy with the timbre of my voice.

I also really need to start listening to my recorded tracks through my monitors and not my dinky headphones.

Everyone says that but I honestly don't think it's that bad.

I'm not sure what I want to do in the near future. Move with band potentially, keep doing uni or do not. Sigh a sigh.

I tried to get back with my ex too, rejected. Fail.

I'm actually quite upset by it too, not because it's not happening necessarily but more because I can't think of a legitimate reason why it shouldn't. I suppose that's just my side of it though. 0.o

I thought you were the one who was telling how shit Brisbane was :lol:.

I can't come up with any consolation about relationships other than not to look for any logic in them because that's just not how they work.

Not that I recall.... It's ok, I just need a holiday I think.

Yeah I'm very well aware of that hahahaha

People are garbage, the less you rely on other people the better off you'll be.

I suppose Sydney isn't bad, I could do with a holiday too I guess.

So many people there though. I'd rather go to Melbourne...

Or France.

I just need to get away from everything atm.

There are several people in both Melbourne and France haha.

I was recommending Sydney for a holiday, I don't think it'd be much of a nice holiday.

There are lots of quiet places on the East Coast where you can get by with rent of $150 a week and under, just really cruisey.

I got my TLC compressor today, going to spend most of tomorrow learning the ropes of it.

I have no idea where, I'm thinking road trip to nowhere.

Desert brah.

I was thinking Darwin for no reason in particular actually haha

How about Coober Pedy.

Don't be stupid!

Seiously though, I was thinking 2 week trip to Melbourne via probably Coffs, Sydney or Newy (one night each) then Mel for a week and same on the way back.

I'm not even sure how to have a holiday, I don't know what I'd do.

Same thing you do at home, just somewhere else.

That sure wouldn't be worth paying for.

Yay, sold my Crate Powerblock

I bought a Fender Blues Deluxe the other day. It is effing amazing. And it cost me less than my Vox.

I need to sell my Vox now.

Anyone else hanging out for Bad Religions new album?

It'll probably be good, but it'll probably also sound like every other Bad Religion album. They're really good at making that album.

I agree, they certainly have a sound, but they're damn good at it.

I have read though, that they wanted to make this one somewhat different and in the last 3 or 4 albums they haven't pushed the envelope much.

I haven't really been following them closely lately, but I heard a new song a little while back and it sounded pretty good.

I'll probably check out the new album.

If you go on their myspace the first two tracks are off the new album.

I like then for the same reason I like a lot of the music I listen too. They have a definitive sound but also explore the limits of the genre they make, plus you can listen to most songs and enjoy it for what it is and also for the musicality of it and find subtle little nuances you never heard before.

Did you listen to my band's new song?

If you didn't: [url]http://www.myspace.com/capitalaitch[/url]

Lemme know whacha think.

We're mixing right now, the whole thing should be ready (mixed, mastered, printed) in about a month.

i dont understand how you can record a song and not mix it

also why would you upload something that doesnt even have such a basic finish as a...mix?

you realize that you probably did mix it

and you're incorrectly labeling mixing as [I]mastering[/I] or [I]post-production[/I]

song is ok but vocals get really grating and annoying at the heavier part
