Official - "Holy Diver" tribute discussion thread

[Mago]

Exactly, there is no additional reverb on your track. But yeah, it's only demotrack

Seems something went wrong when I exported the tracks for Anssi, no big deal as it's just a version for me to know how to edit the vocals...I'll try it that way and let's see if it fits, I dont think that re-recording would be necessary, but we'll see how it turns out.

 

[Mago]

dude, Marco, I'm in love with your girlfriend!! hahaha seriously though, GREAT voice, can't stop listening to her version. Fuck the "agressiveness", not needed! So anyways, looking forward for a version with all singers

Thanks a lot she says

The vocal comp demo here:

I got a version of Johnnys vocals where they were drowned in this really heavy reverb, so I tried to make similiar to the other tracks so the Johnnys track wouldn't stick out like a sore thumb.

Wow man, sounds awesome! Can't wait wait to hear it mixed properly. I love the parts where we're all singing together, they sound totally mean!

Yeah I told you guys that it sounds epic even if you just unmute all parts. I think with proper panning and editing it will turn out awesome + everyone has the chance to shine in different places. Hope I'll have something ready by the mid of next week, I'm not at home the next 2 days.
Johnny sent me some new recordings were he made a few things fit better to the other 2 singers, thanks for that!
stay tuned!

Thanks a lot she says

After hearing her version of Holy Diver like a million times, I went into your band's myspace and downloaded the Ep, good stuff there mate!

Thanks man, but the EP itself is only kinda meeeehhhh for me
Mostly because the songs on there were written without the thought that a girl would be singing them, the songs are before she joined.
Also productionwise its not much going on...I guess you know how much this kind of things can advance in 2 years
I'm busy 80% of my time to finish the album right now, gonna do some reamping by the end of this month hopefully. Prepare for an album dude

I get exactly what you mean, same with my own band, just finishing preproductions for the album, drum recording starts next week. Meanwhile, the old demo we have in our myspace is so terrible (production-wise) that I'm also finishing a remix of that, to not be too ashamed of my own band hahaha

Looking forward for the album!

Haha, I think I can't be bothered to remix the EP, mostly because:

- No DI's for guitars
- shitty mics and preamps

but yeah...who cares anyway

my case too, no DIs, shitty preamps, but mine is much worse than yours, it NEEDS to be saved hahaha

 

[ahjteam]

Why not re-record it then?

 

[Mago]

Well lets just make Kickass albums then hahaha
care the send the the myspacelink of your band?

@ Anssi: In my case it's just not worth it seeing the Album on the long-run.

 

[DanLights]

Why not re-record it then?

Same as mago said, the album is gonna be a lot of hard work for all of us (more for me, being also producer and everything else) and I don't wanna go through the process of "creating" another album, just fix it up a bit so it's less shittier and concentrate on the big thing

Well lets just make Kickass albums then hahaha

Yeah make kickass albums, that's the plan indeed!
I'm almost sure I added your band on myspace, band name is Ad Intra, check it in your friends or friend requests or something.

So back on topic, stop yapping and work on the mix with three singers!

A cool, gotta take a look & yeah I'll do when I finished editing the guitars for the song I do right now

one thing you can gaze upon in the myspace is the artwork, we have a dude who is one of our best friends and is also one of the best graphic designers I have ever seen, he already has the art for our album ready and it's brutal. Our myspace isn't even close to his best work, he's first on our top friends, you should check his other work

Yeah man, it looks awesome, I'm gonna take a look at his portfolio, thanks!
I'll see when we're gonna get a good myspace design, I did the one we have right now myself, but I'm not really strong with myspacedesigns/myspaceprogramming uke:

 

[DanLights]

so what's up with this? Need to hear a finished version with all singers!

Btw if my opinion is taken into account, I think on Anssi's demo, there were a bit too many parts where all singers were singing at the same time, and I don't like that much cause if it's done so much it takes the impact away on the parts where they do it. I mean all singers together sound great, but I would prefer if it was done less, so the impact on those parts would be bigger. Just my opinion of course

But @ your comments:
I finished editing them the way Anssi posted it, Unmuting parts when theres too much going on is still up for choice, but I think it's cool that way, because duett-mode all the time is quite predictable imo

 

[Sloan]

fuck this, it's all about "Straight Through The Heart". Easily one of the most nut-crushing riffz ever recorded.

 

[P-E]

Sloan speaks the truth again.

A legend is back.
