Man.... My live band (well it is basically dead...) was working on an EP that got completely fucked up by horrible recording practices and I heard the latest mix today. I'm completely embarrassed by it. It is one of the sloppiest, worst recordings I have ever heard. My voice sounds like a complete pile of dog shit, and the mix is just all over the place.
I guess that's what you get when half your band never practices, and then they hire a guy "because we know him" to record the album. It took like 2 years to get 4 songs recorded because we could NEVER get together with this dude, and the recording space changed like 3 times and each time to a place with drastically different acoustics. Then cutting and pasting and redoing certain parts and throwing it all together at the end. Half the time we set up a recording session we would waste 2 hours just waiting for our "engineer" to set up, then record for 20 minutes and call it a day. Then a month later get together in a different location, and continue mid-song with no sense of continuity.
I recorded almost all of my vocals in 2 or 3 takes rushed, and in 2 different recording spaces. I recorded vocals to incomplete mixes because of schedules and the drums were later altered/edited and with no leads in them yet so they all off time and frankly my voice just sounds absolutely horrible, like I chain smoked 40 packs and then tried to growl.... Man.. Someone shoot me now.
I hope this thing gets fucking buried considering the band is pretty much dead anyways.
Yup... This is the right thread.
