recording through online collaboration - some results!

[Zack Uidl]

thanks for checking it out dudes, David wrote some very cool tunes and it was fun to play on this (and extremely tiring....those riffs are pretty crazy )

BTW, Jeff I really liked what you have done with the vocals from what I have heard so far. Very cool

This is killer

Yeah I am doing the bass for the project

Zack, from what I can tell the guitars are going to come out great, can't wait to hear the final versions after being reamped. Jeff's vox are sounding pretty good I must say I'm diggin' them - just wish he would have sent me tracks with REAL instruments instead of cheesy GuitarPro sounding instruments Some of the riffs are pretty f'in crazy and a bitch to get down, but it comes out great in the end so...

^ Thanks dude

Yeah, looking foreword to the final product.

And yes, many of those riffs are a total bitch to perform

posted another rough track up on the myspace

would be interesting to hear some peoples thoughts on the actual music side of things - positive or negative feedback would be appreciated!

Hey man, listening to "Destroyer" now, it's pretty cool, though the music is a little too "Black Dahlia" for my tastes, which doesn't really do much for me - also, something is off time in a few parts, pretty sure it's the vocals (though they do sound good Jeff ). Mix sounds good; guitar tone reeks of 5150 smoothness, but it certainly works in the mix!

Ooh, not bad clean vox - the melody and harmonies (especially the octaves) definitely remind me of the new Abigail Williams, though I feel you perhaps enunciate a bit too much ("dark ma-chine-er-y" )

 

[JeffTD]

Which part is offtime, bychance? I know one of the riffs wasn't in 4/4 and I tried holding notes over the 'tails' of the riff, so to speak. Otherwise I'm not sure, as I tracked tightly to a click.

As far as enunciation... the line is "darker shade of green" - could be why it sounds over-syllable'd for "dark machinery."

 

[Metaltastic]

HA! That might explain it then And the particular part that seems out of time to me is the 6/8 section at around 1:37; mostly, it seems like you have to rush in breaths that make the starts of some of the notes a bit delayed. Not as bad on the second listen, but I still hear it!

just uploaded some more tracks uploaded on the myspace (www.myspace.com/projectruins) - as again any feedback positive or negative is appreciated...

Similarly to before if anyone here is interested in here in mixing any of this, just let me know - the tracks should be ready very shortly...
