| Garage Band?
I personally dont have a Mac, I would kill for one, but sadly I dont. The church I attend and do sound for has one, and my band and I have basically free reign over the instruments and sound system over the week. Our band has yet to record though we have quite abit of material, but I have recorded alittle bit of my own stuff over Garage Band. What do you think of the program? Do you think its a credible recording program? Whats your opinuin? Here be some digs. | | 1 |  | Ulcerate
Everything is Fire
Being not much of a metal fan, the genre of death metal isn't exactly my forte. I can accually only recall Cryptosy's None So Vile and In Morning's Shrouded Divine being death metal records that I have enjoyed and the latter isn't even very "death metal." But after all the critical acclaim Ulcerate's new release has gotten and with a name like Everything Is Fire I couldn't help but check it out. And I was extremely impressed. It is produced fanastically, created a dense and powerful atmoshere, acually I fell asleep listening through it for the first time, but it doesn't take away the fact that this face raps. The guitars are impressive, not just showing flare but depth, the bass is not only audible but exceptional, and the drumming is fucking mindblowing to say the least. Like the double kick is just, holy fuck fast. And not being a fan of the death metal vocals, enjoyed the way the vocals were mixed, being placed more "in the mix" rather than being placed in the forefront. Though, not exactly one of my favorite albums of the year it is definatly in my top 50, and is my undisputed death metal record of the year, maybe even my metal record of the year. And this coming from a none metal head. | | 2 |  | Warning
Watching From a Distance
A depressingly epic metal record. Though at times it can get slightly monotonous and boring, it is still the best doom metal record Ive ever come across. | | 3 |  | Brian McBride
When The Detail Lost Its Freedom
Hoping to get a review done for this in the next couple days, a classic record. | | 4 |  | Great Lake Swimmers

04.25.10 | So yeah what do you think? Is it a credible way to record? Do any of you guys use it? And any reccomendations would be greatly appreciated. Thanks. | Enotron
04.26.10 | Yeah, you could definitely make a simple enough record. Of course it's really weak when it comes to mixing and editing, but it's all I have for now and I've been recording many noise-folk pieces recently. You should really get Audacity(a really fast, free download for both macs and pcs), it's really professional and way better for recording, just a less user-friendly interface. | YouAreMySilence
04.26.10 | Hmm thanks, yeah Ill check it out. I really dig garageband. | Ire

free dl if you want to hear the quality. | YouAreMySilence
04.26.10 | Yeah dude Ill get it a listen. | Ire
04.26.10 | tbh i think it's much better than audacity and more user friendly.

04.26.10 | I'm currently stuck with garageband, because my usb mic got fucked up, so I've been recording onto garageband with my laptop's built-in computer. | feav233
04.26.10 | your laptop has a built in computer? | vanderb0b
04.26.10 | I use it whenever I want to record. It's not the best program out there, but it's good enough for me. Oh, and you should listen to Death-Symbolic. It's a death metal album you might like. | Enotron
04.26.10 | ahaha, my bad. I meant my built in mic. | SteelErectedb4you8er
04.26.10 | Yeah, garage band is a good starter tool and you can produce decent demos on it, but if you want to do anything more, you will probably want a better program. | BenX02
04.26.10 | Yeah, GB is a good starting place. Once you get used to that you might want to upgrade to Pro Logic or Pro Tools though. | Waior
04.26.10 | Audacity is not better for recording; if you know how to use Garageband properly, you're going to get a lot better results. Fact.
However, using a built-in mic is a dumb idea because it's going to sound like shit. If you have access to the church soundboard, try using a tape-out cable to hook your computer's microphone interface into the sound system - record one track at a time that way, the sound will be a lot better than most mics you'll end up using. | Yazz_Flute
04.26.10 | I recorded music into garage band through my keyboard when I was in middle school using the midi-files in the program. I had about a full albums of material...needless to say it sounded like ass. | YouAreMySilence
04.26.10 | Yeeah Caleb, tis what I do. | fr33convict
04.26.10 | i use it for everything. as far as for free it's the best you can get. | Ire
