NZGuitars.com : Filling you with GAS since 2003

Im in. Id like a jack daniels with mine please.

Not something i listen too but: The good: The drummer is good, the songs I think work for the genre, clear sound. The bad: The guitars seem ... lacking, not sure if it is the mix or levels, the actual lead parts are ok though, there is also an over all volume difference in the tracks, like track 1 s...

Pantera... well anything pre CFH, I think they did about 4 hairspray albums.... ummm most are already mentioned.
Most bands I listen to start off kick ass then just lump out like a pile of poo.

Cool, cheers, makes sense. At the moment I am venturing into live drum sounds, going to make a weekend of it soon, see what different things we can come up with. Next band project will be one guitar, one bass, drums and vox set up, so will be relying on everything sounding as good as i can get it, n...

Audacity is good for the actual recording part. Ive done the direct line in, through M audio and toneports, audacity handles it all no probs. Best if you can get something like a little mixer or toneport etc

The slide is strong in this one.
Yea, just a tad on the loud side, but cool for first attempt!

Back to the OP, what have you got to record with ? Ive done heaps like using DKFH for drums and using the rest live, or programming live drum hits to direct recording or the full mic situation.
