Did more recording work today. Wow, it’s been a while since I’ve been this involved in mixes and stuff. I still don’t have studio monitors, so the mixes aren’t going to be great but I think I’m on the right track. Plus, the quality is just so much fucking better anyway. You can check these out for yourself, as well. I’m uploading some pictures, but I refuse to include any of my recording slippers.
The vocal takes on this baby are not as good as they could be, that is absolutely for sure. I love the feel, but the over-singing could probably go (that is I go a little sharp). I really enjoyed doing the death metal vocals today. It was like tapping into all the rage and despair that I’ve got going on right now. But, my throat is pretty sore.. I didn’t used to have that problem when I was younger.. I think I may have overdone it.
I think these things are getting better. It’s still hard to compare it to more professional stuff, ’cause now I’m confused as to how I’m supposed to be making this stuff better. I’m not really sure, but at least now I’ve gotten rid of that fucking mechanical, fake, lifeless tone that I had. It’s hard to imagine that I ever thought that Premonitions was worth releasing.. But, we all make mistakes. The utter lack of dynamics on the album kills me now. Oh the difference a fairly cheap little condenser mic can do.
