We uploaded it because we're playing shows and we want to be able to show people what we're doing before they come see us.

Truth be told, the song is partly mixed. I say unmixed because there's still more work to do on the mix.

have you guys considered getting a girl singer i think that would be interesting

also the fuck, myspace? bro, get a soundcloud, stop living in 2007

linking people to your myspace sort of automatically puts in the person's mind that its going to be any of the following:

1) its gonna suck
2) its gonna be spammed by some kind of bot or app
3) im gonna get some kind of malware and shit
4) this is fucking gay fuck myspace

now, what happens when you link to soundcloud

oh yeah nothing because soundclouds lite stream player auto embeds where ever you link it and it has a giant play button and a smooth clean interface

dont be a douche get a soundcloud

Gender is unimportant. It's just that.... oh... oooohh. I just got it.

I second the soundcloud motion. IIRC, you can upload them in better quality than the 92kbps (or whatever disgusting quality) limitations of MySpace.

You can up to soundcloud in pretty much anything.

I notice that you are still in New Brunswick. Disappointing.

[QUOTE=Epidemechanical;18182622]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[/QUOTE]

I thought post-production was an all-encompasing term referring to everything you do after tracking. Clarify?

Tell me about it.

It actually usually refers to what you do audio wise after a film is shot. Often misused in the music recording business.

lol u mad

My Fast Track Pro has phantom power, padding, and gain available. What could a mic preamp do for me that the M-Audio couldn't?

What happened to the plans about moving?

Post-production refers to anything you do in a film after it's shot, editing, scoring, etc.

Having said that the same can still apply in music albeit incorrectly used.
Pre-production, writing the song; production, recording; and post-production, mastering.

Eh, stuff fell through, people changed plans. So I'm still in Fredericton.

Soundcloud and reverbnation do seem to have overtaken myspace.

That's good because myspace was never great but it has actually gotten much worse in the last few years.

Fuck.Calculus.

I'm so sick of these proofs. My professor is fucking ridiculous.

He's trippin' buckyballs

[quote=gaslight;18183640]He's trippin' buckyballs[/quote]

I can't figure out proofs for 30% of this assignment, and I've already typed almost 6 complete pages of proofs. It's way to long to be an "Intro to Analysis" assignment with only a week allotted to do it and turn it in.

I quit.

You stood up to him, that was the test.

Nah he probably just likes to completely smash everyone early on.

:lol: On the first day, he started off class with:

"40 students? That's way too many for this class. You know, the attrition rate is typically around 50%. Let's get started...**lecture**"

I've posted one of the problems on reddit with no solutions, and I'm about to post another on mathoverflow in a second. I don't even care about the answer to much as the step that I'm missing in my proof.

I found a solutions manual for the book on eBay, but it's $50. :/

There are preamps then there are [I]preamps.

[/I]I'll educate you sometime on the differences. But right now I got shit to do goddamnit.


Ask Xomblies as well, he knows his shit.

What you want is to go a store and look for the italicised products.

See this guy has the right idea!


Btw gassy, I recently had an opportunity to test out those Sennheiser HD650's up against the much cheaper HD555 (with a very easy mod to make them sound better) and to the average listener there isn't enough difference to justify the price IMO.

Build quality is a bit better.

But the HD555's after modding them sound quite nice for a cool 170NZD. Opposed to the 500-600NZD for the 650's.


Anyways that was just for your consideration if you're still thinking about getting some high end headphones.

A quick education on preamps:


There are three types of preamps:


Good colored
Bad Colored
Transparent (or clean).

this obviously applies to the way they affect the sound.

A decent Class A mic pre will give clean, uncolored, quiet gain. In otherwords you get out what you put in.

Then there are the Neves, API's, Trident, Great River etcs of the world that are known for their color. Usually described as warm and 'musical'. Whatever the fuck that means. Never heard a preamp sing a tune before, don't think I ever will.


Then you've got your shitty Mbox/Maudio/Tascam op amps that are noisy, don't have much gain, don't give you a good color, make things muddy very easily, don't supply the right amount of phantom power, etc etc etc.

They're half the reason home recordings often sound like they do.

A good place to start are the Presonus stuff. Good for the price, pretty clean Class A stuff. Not as juicy has the high end pre amps but will get you through as a hobbyist and give you well above what you get out of the Mbox and Maudio stuff. No Pro Tools though. Not yet anyways.

Cheers for that mate, please tell me more about this modding of the headphones?

I'm getting Ableton Live Intro to put some bass recordings together for my students and do other stuff too. Seems beaut for $99.

Ah, okay. I was looking into the Presonus firewire stuff a while back. It's a technology I've not yet experimented with because, at the time I bought my M-Audio, the difference in price was a few hundred, and was complete overkill for my two-track-at-a-time-max needs.

Basically they have the same drivers as the 595's which a anout 120 more.

But to retard the 555's into being a lower end head phone, they put in these foam strips in between the driver and the venting.

Basically this stops ear flowing in and out of the cans, which is what open back head phones are supposed to do. So you open them up (very easy) and take them out. There wasn't a huuuuge difference, but the top end was definitely a bit better.


You can go for the 600's which are apparently a bit flatter than the 650's and quite a bit cheaper I think.

totally going to see melt banana this time next month
