urb Posted April 16, 2008 Share Posted April 16, 2008 Hello BCers I just the myspace page sorted out for this funk band I've just joined - it's pretty cool, the recording was done totally live in the studio with no overdubs - I'm using my Thumb bass (the Sei wasn't completed at the time)let me know what you reckon - and thanks for listening - we'll be gigging soon so I'll let you know when and where... Cheers Mike Listen here: [url="http://www.groovedigger.co.uk/"]http://www.groovedigger.co.uk/[/url] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ShergoldSnickers Posted April 17, 2008 Share Posted April 17, 2008 (edited) Yes! Listened to it yesterday, again today. All the better for having been done live and a damn good recording too. Cracking stuff urb. Rhythm section sorted, space for all the other instruments and vocals to fit into the mix - excellently done sir! Snicks. Edit: It's just struck me - the recording sounds reminds me of the punch and clarity Grace Jones got on the 'Living my Life' album.

urb Posted April 24, 2008 Author Share Posted April 24, 2008 [quote name='ped' post='181011' date='Apr 20 2008, 01:49 PM']Oh and superb drum sound, especially on 'Southwick Funk'[/quote] Yeah it helped that the drummer is a pro guy with a great kit - I think it was a Yamaha with a set of gorgeous new Zildjian cymbals but the engineer did a superb job of miking the kit - the sound in the room was good as well - which from a technical POV that the room isn't too heavily sound proofed as a really dry sound can make things sound dead, there was plenty of 'air' around the mics so it all helped get a great sound from the kit - I think it was on about eight or so channels so it was a pretty thorough recording. Jamie - look forward to hearing you new tunes soon. Mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
