Selbstmord - Departure
Ok, been working on this one the past few days. It's 1 of 2 songs from a friend of mine. Finished tracking the guitars last night for both songs. Guitars are: EC-1000 w/ EMG's -> Keeley TS-9 -> Peavey XSr™/Dual Recto -> Marshall 2x12. I have a V30 and a T75 in the cab, but I mic'ed only the V30 with a single SM57. Drums were programmed by the guitarist, later kinda refined by hand (time consuming!) on the velocities. Used EZDdfh for the OH's, hats, toms, and used the Sonar1 snare to blend with Bob's samples, kick is 100% replaced. This is one of my proudest guitar tones to date. Recto is 100% L/R, XSr™ is like 80% L/R. No bass yet, and the drums are going to be getting some more velocity work, as well as some slight shifting to get it a little more realistic. Acoustic is some Takamine a/e going straight in. Vocals soon.
Basically this is still all just chillin, finished tracking the guitars last night, and I couldn't wait to post it.
Also, if anyone would like to try converting the MIDI he made into piano using a VSTi, please hit me up. I don't have anything that does piano or bm style key sounds at all.
The intro got fuxxed on the early bounce, no biggie for a preview mix though. What I've noticed, and somebody please tell me if I'm just being picky, but a lot of the transitions could be a little more fluid IMO, no? The guitarist writes everything himself, he's only been playing for about a year but is really promising. His technique is very clean and consistent. But I think he may lack the maturity in writing...just me though. Otherwise I think this track is bitchin.
