OT - music

[tower]

Been hanging out 'round here for many years and find it sad to see how
it has degraded with all these stupid posts. Anyway, I'd like to
humbly invite any of you to check out the music my new band has
created. We recorded a 7 song CD on a low budget in one weekend and
you can hear some of them at the omnipresent myspace:

www.myspace.com/edgehillave

They're also at garageband and a few other places on the net.

I'm told it's kind of alt.countryish...I'd be curious to hear any
thoughts. We're in Louisville, KY so if you're in the area come check
us out.

You are certainly welcome, I figure I couldn't do worse than your crappy
posts...but then I expected this kind of response from you. Glad I shared.

Actually what I've heard so far is pretty cool. It sounds more Garth
Brooks to me than Ryan Adams, though.

You've been such a huge contributor over the years, the fact that you
feel this way makes me want to cry. Not.

thanks for the feedback.

You don't actually sound like him, the point was of the 4 songs on
myspace they sound pretty Nashville mainstream, except for maybe
Bittersweet.

Gotcha...when we started this project late last year, there was never
any intention to go one way or another just to go where we felt. I
listen to a lot of Ryan Adams, Big Head Todd, Allmans, some jambands,
some alt.country, huge SRV fan, blues rock. Our live show is more
powerful and less 'mainstream' I think. I like a good song but I love
great musicianship. Hopefully we can find the balance between those.
Bittersweet is about my dawg that was my riding buddy for many, many
years. Moab, CA, Eastern Smokies, southern trails, etc....she saw more
trails than many people on this board. Thanks again for the feedback.

Cool songs, guitar and kb players have good licks, but need to be
recorded better (it's allmidrange); the singer has a full voice, but needs
to sing in tune better. AAMOF, the whole treble spectrum is missing
in the mix, maybe it's just the net.

Thanks...it may be the net but it's probably also some of the
recording. We were on a tight budget and the studio fit in that low
budget. The guy who mastered the recording mention some of the same
type of stuff. I'm the singer and what's strange is that we didn't
hear the pitch/tone stuff in the mixdown but then did afterwards.
Would love to go back and fix it but that's not in the budget. It's
getting some radio play locally and the goal was to make a recording
that might help us get better gigs and maybe someone to pay for a
better recording. Thanks for the feedback.

That's not saying much, especially considering what you see as the
degradation of this "newsgroup".

I don't know how much studios charge nowadays, but for around $2-3k
one can get a decent home studio PC-based recording setup; mics are the
key and decent ones will push it toward the $3k range.
get decent ones

This guy charges $25/hour which is very low. You're right on about the
mics, he has some good ones but the overall sonic quality of his
place, equipment, and expertise are good but not great. It shows in
the recording. On top of that, the shortness of time meant we did very
little in the way of overdubs, etc. We spent about $500 on the entire
recording.

Just making the point that she and I rode many trails in many
locations and she meant a lot to me, not put anyone down...of course
I'm not the expert you are...but few are.

It sounds just fine at that budget. Who did the cover art?
