Re: Gentlemen! post your soundclouds!
Here are a couple of WIP samples of what The Grove have been working on. Horn parts are only temp on the second one but they're fairly close.

Re: Gentlemen! post your soundclouds!
We recorded them in my basement studio using Pro Tools and MOTU converters as well as some fancy (and not-so-fancy) mics and preamps. TBH though, the best mics have been the cheaper ones- Cascade Fatheads and a vintage Sennheiser MD412 I scored for about $20.
There's a whole lot more info here about the process:

Re: Gentlemen! post your soundclouds!
Thanks for the link - very nice. I just got my gear from the container ship and the house is in a transitional state while we get some work done on one of the rooms. Luckily I just use a laptop with Ardour to record, Hydrogen to play drums, a Kawai bass and a couple of guitars into a Saffire 6 USB either direct or through a miced Vox VT20+. Lucky because I just set up on folding table and started recording amid the chaos. The house and location are very quiet - a far cry from the cicada season in Brisbane. Oh yeah - a Kawai K5000S keyboard for MIDI stuff too - which I can't play but like to have around.benderissimo wrote:We recorded them in my basement studio using Pro Tools and MOTU converters as well as some fancy (and not-so-fancy) mics and preamps.

Re your recording diary - I used to have a bandmate who played a C melody sax, but only in C. It was used on a couple of songs, notably "The Invasion of the Sonic Mindwarpers".
One of the goals I have set myself now that I am in NZ is to record a backlog of songs dating back to (in fragmentary memory form) 1977. This is not helped by the fact that on two separate occasions I have thrown out or taped over the written and/or recorded copies of most of the songs, so I am reaching back into the dim recesses of my memory, helped along by a few scraps of paper and old computer backups and even older cassettes of practice sessions.
Cheers
Mike

Re: Gentlemen! post your soundclouds!
Posted an 8 string tone test yesterday
https://soundcloud.com/xcaptainx/8-stri ... -tone-test
first time using an 8 string. It was a lot of fun!
Loving EZ Mix, I've got the full suite now. Actually, band just sorted an endorsement with Toontraack so I have everything now, haha. So much fun!

Very nice! Very Meshuggah, but very nice...
The older I get, the more disappointed in myself I become.

Thank you! although it's Meshuggah - lethargica, so that's expected, hehe. One of the Metalhead EZ drummer expansions comes with midi groove packs for 5-6 meshuggah songs, I just used that and the koloss guitar and drum presets

So jealous - but you're totally worth endorsing so coolness.xCaptainx wrote:Loving EZ Mix, I've got the full suite now. Actually, band just sorted an endorsement with Toontraack so I have everything now, haha. So much fun!
I do bugger all music ... last thing I did was a short version of Hotel California for my bass guitar students performance music class. took the intro and most of the solo out. It's a bit ghey - but hey. One take on the rhythm guitar, lead vocals, harmony vocals (deleted what sounded poos) and then some fiddling with the end. The guitar solo was take three as I kept forgetting how it went. Solo is at 3.32 for those who don't want to sit through the vocals.
Yup - that's me and my pal Steve or little stevie vai as I like to call him. In Auckland airport when I was 26. I'm not 26 anymore.

A couple of new tracks from me. Very different from each other in style...

Not SoundCloud but a lyric video ... recorded during LockDown but written around Christmas time last year
