New band demo.

[Mrweems]

This past week. We did a project.

72 hrs. Track, Mix, Burn 5 songs. 4 songs are full band and 1 is piano and vocals.

This was our first attempt at doing this slightly more legit than any try before. Up until this point we have done 3 recording sessions ourselves.

This song is the best song out of the bunch.

I feel as if the bass could have been done better, and the actual musicianship is lacking IMO. But its just bass - di - motu 8pre - logic pro 8. So there are obvious improvements that could be made.

Anyways, i hope you enjoy this as much as we had creating it.

Oh and it was all low budget gear.

drums sound decent. it sounds like you largely have the sounds there and need more practice mixing. the vocal sticks out a lot to me.

[MichaelMackie]

The drums sound really good actually. Pretty legit.

The instruments are mixed well for the most part. I feel like the rhythm guitar is a little soft maybe? The voice is a little too out there though. If it was just brought back a few db's it would be a noticeable improvement on the overall mix.

I like the song. Can you list the signal chain. Mics, Pre amps, Etc... Instruments. I agree the vox is just a little loud. Sounds like you have good head room. Is the guitar a plug in amp model in logic?
Thanks for posting

I love it when I hear great songs / quality recorded on modest to low end gear. I hear the fun you had in that recording.
