That's absolutely brilliant!
Thanks for taking the time to make a comprehensive guide for this.
I think it deserves a sticky (or at least a link in the Useful Links post)
Badalamenti for movie soundtracks, really sick
For classical, Modest Mussorgsky absolutely rocks
And, last but not least, Zbigniew Preisner, his "Van den Budenmayer Concerto en Mi Mineur" may be the most beautiful piece of music I have ever heard
hehe, exactly :)
anything native (or native-sounding) should be fine
It's no hurry, we're sending the copies next week
Anyway, I'm still waiting for the guys to come up with a text so wait a bit :)
I was wondering if anyone here with a good English accent could help my band with a voice over for some promotional discs we're going to send (something along the lines of "You're listening to a promotional copy blabla").
We probably can't pay for this, but it should only take a few minutes...
After hours after hours of listening and A/B-ing and discussing we've finally managed to reach a consensus about what we're going to do and pick a winner. However, the entry was received in a PM so I'm not going to make it public unless that person agrees to it.
I would like to thank everyone...
Sorry I broke the link, it's fixed now.
Muckypup: yes I did, but the whole reason I went through this was to see how our material would sound. Samples of your other work, while certainly interesting, are not what I'm looking for.
Here's a quick update:
I have given the mixes so far to the band members and I'll give them a bit of time to have a good listen to the mixes before making a final decision.
now that I listen to them, they do sound funny. the weird is, i've checked them and they're not anywhere near the red zone, they seem to be peaking around -10 dB. I'm not sure what could be causing this.
I'm sorry about this. I'll try to get some decent sounding DIs up as soon as possible
My band is about to start recording our first album, and our choice of local studios is rather limited. Going abroad is unfeasible due to time constraints mainly (i.e. we all have jobs).
So, I was thinking of doing some of the recording ourselves (drums, guitar DIs, bass DI, vocal, keyboards)...
I have updated the link in the first post with a new version.
Significant changes:
- Guitars are now TSS-8505-Awesometime, quad-tracked
- Drums are Slate (I'm not entirely happy with them, I'm sure I can do much more)
