Got a new demo from my band.

Re: Got a new demo from my band.

sounds good. interesting vocals. some vocal parts could stand a bit of compression due to jumping out a bit during stronger parts, but maybe that's just my earballs.

Yeah, I messed with compression a bit. It's hard to tune just right on this one, because too much, and it gets buried, to little and it jumps. I figure, this band is singer-centric anyways, so having it a bit more out front isn't bad. Also, I tried to monitor on a lot of different setups so I could judge real-world listening. Also, this was done with a relatively cheap setup, too. So, I am sure with some time and a little investment, I could definitely do more.

Another thing I want to change, the drums. I want to re-record them entirely, give them a little more power from the start.
 
Re: Got a new demo from my band.

wow what a breath of fresh air.

cool tune.

heres a suggestion:

are you shooting for a mainstream sound, or something straight up rock oriented?

the vocals are good in the mix right now if youre looking for a comercial sound, though *I* myself would lower them 2 -5 dB.
 
Re: Got a new demo from my band.

It's going to be marketed with the vox as the fronting of the band, so I am thinking the vox more out front is the way to go. They started by doing family entertainment stuff with canned CD backing, and then upgraded to band. I have a feeling we'll be sticking with that format due to the singers all being siblings, there being 5 of them, and they want to keep it together as a unit. Which is cool, IMHO. Again, to address the drums, I need to do some more experimentation on mics and such, and the cool thing is, I can retain that project for later so I can go back and drop in a better drum track.

Yeah man that's pretty nice! It would nicely fit in the playlist of my summer BBQ's.
