lukeward2004 Posted June 25, 2007 Share Posted June 25, 2007 Hi All, Thought I would pop up a few tracks from the live recording we got from the desk at the Clapham Grand from last Friday's gig. It wasnt the best we've played, but our drummer is awesome and ive managed to hijack him for my funk band, so check him out! OK, so here is the first track, You will ever know - featuring some nice 3 part harmonies with me doing some higher vocals [url="http://media.putfile.com/Natalie---You-Will-Ever-Know-Live-2007"]http://media.putfile.com/Natalie---You-Wil...-Know-Live-2007[/url] Next up, a nice little number called Two Worlds Apart, featuring some groovy regae verses and my aweful balls'd up vocals in the mid section: [url="http://media.putfile.com/Natalie---Two-Worlds-Apart-2007"]http://media.putfile.com/Natalie---Two-Worlds-Apart-2007[/url] Here's one for a laugh - a cover of Britney Spears "Hit me Baby", complete with aweful messed up slap bassline. I was wearing a longsleeve shirt for the gig and my cuffs where muting the strings I was slapping, thus resulting in the verse lines sounding crap. The best part, IMHO, is the midsection, where I managed to roll my sleeve up enough to stop muting the string! [url="http://media.putfile.com/Natalie---Hit-Me-Baby-Cover-2007"]http://media.putfile.com/Natalie---Hit-Me-Baby-Cover-2007[/url] Finally, Natalie's best track IMO - called "Whatever" - really chuffed with the 3 part harmonies throughout the chorus, whilst keeping it all tight: [url="http://media.putfile.com/Natalie---Whatever-Live-2007"]http://media.putfile.com/Natalie---Whatever-Live-2007[/url] Let me know what you think, ive got more tracks but ive left them out as they where a little shoddy and didnt sound that great live. These are the pick of the bunch in my opinion, and my favourites. Cheers Luke Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lukeward2004 Posted June 25, 2007 Author Share Posted June 25, 2007 Oh by the way - I was using my Jazz bass and my Hartke 3500 rig with a single 410XL cab for my sound - im quite chuffed with it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
acidbass Posted June 25, 2007 Share Posted June 25, 2007 Very nice sound Luke! We tried a desk recording once and the result was pants! Did you DI or mic when going to the PA? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lukeward2004 Posted June 25, 2007 Author Share Posted June 25, 2007 The Mix from my amp was taken from the DI on the back of my Hartke 3500, and I just used my Cab for monitoring on stage. The guitars where a bit too low in the mix and the volumes between clean/overdriven guitar where off IMO. It was annoying actually, as the band before us decided to turn down all our amps, despite using thier own kit, before they left the stage, so we where left needing a quick line check before we played. Luckily I made a note of my master vo The Sound and light guys are very good at the venue, really nice sound live and managed to get my ton through without any issues.

ped Posted June 25, 2007 Share Posted June 25, 2007 Nice one mate, sounds like a good job you have there. Great sound too, and ur singing!! I enjoyed the cheeky slap whilst Nat was talking before the Britney one. It was like 'Shut it, were ready' Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lukeward2004 Posted June 25, 2007 Author Share Posted June 25, 2007 Yeah, Natalie talks way too much sh*t between songs, we've told her about it before but she doesnt stop - IMO its unprofessional, songs should flow into one another, but hey. The only part of britney I didnt screw up was the midsection! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nottswarwick Posted June 25, 2007 Share Posted June 25, 2007 nice Luke. And you should hold on to that drummer - very nice playing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lukeward2004 Posted June 26, 2007 Author Share Posted June 26, 2007 Cheers mate - will most definately hang on to Lee, he is by far the best drummer ive played with and he seems to be able to play anything - Latin, Funk, Jazz, Samba, you name it! He is most of the reason my new funk band sounds so good! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alexclaber Posted June 26, 2007 Share Posted June 26, 2007 Very professional - tight playing and arrangements, good backing vocals. Am impressed! Need to get our backing vocals that good... Alex Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
