yeah the kick thing does sound pretty challenging. i'm assuming removing the front head entirely is not possible?
(best kick sound i ever got was from one with no front head)
surprised about the snare thing - i love top/bottom snare micing, wouldn't do it any other way now. though there was that time i finished a mix and wondered why my snare sound was so thin, not realising til later that i hadn't flipped the phase on one of the channels..

Hiya ILX, long time no speak. I've recently come out from the depths of wherever it is that I hide and brought out some new music stuff.

Oh man, I missed this and I was a fan of Lynskey's old electronic stuff. I still listen to one of his track's not infrequently. Lynskey, if you don't mind a brutally honest comment, your production is fucking awesome and the vocals on this do not really stand up to it.
― Disraeli Geirs (Hurting 2), Wednesday, 28 September 2011 04:24 (twelve years ago) link
wow idea prime is amazing. Production is amazing. Don't mind the vocals. It has a kind of ash channeled through albini kind of thing going on
― owenf, Wednesday, 28 September 2011 09:06 (twelve years ago) link
Thanks! I've alway got tremendous problems doing vocals, it was ok back when I was doing the electronic stuff as I could drown it all in effects, I couldn't really hide with these ones. I'm a complete wimp in that I'll only record vocals if the house is empty, there's no-one in next door and no-one stood at the bus stop over the road. So things tend to be a bit rushed. Plus these needed to be belted out / screamed in a lot of places and I feel like an idiot doing that sort of thing in an empty house.
― Lynskey, Wednesday, 28 September 2011 10:04 (twelve years ago) link
^^^ I have this same problem - I can manage ranty style vocals, and more-or-less spoken singing, but anything more and I can only do it if there isn't anyone around for half a mile.

I got a second mix of my current band's epic 'Wings of Madness' up. Kind of sounds like a stoner rock pere ubu I think.
I went ahead and posted a couple of songwriting demos up for two songs I wrote recently 'The Plan' & 'Gravelbed'.

I like 'Asphyxiated Dub' - ambient, but without the usual ambient problem of being too slow.
― triple black belt in ILX-fu (snoball), Friday, 21 October 2011 20:55 (twelve years ago) link
That's because it's just a sped up version of Drowning Dub. Lots of sub-sub-sub bass sounds I couldn't hear properly on my speakers, so I pitched the whole thing up and got a new track. Thanks mate.

I've been using a bit more of my old analog gear, jamming tracks, and dirtying up by recording to tape recently.
Made this track just before Christmas which sounds a little bit Drexciyan, mixed with a riff that after finishing the track I realised sounds like Mamma Mia :D

started doing a bit of djing at parties again and making these long lindstromy transition tracks with only analog synth samples and live desk/controller automation. Would love to invest in better gear so I could do full sets of it but currently having to go through 5 or 6 times to get it right.

I've been incredibly prolific music-wise since I moved away from my computer with FL studio and realized I can make better tracks on Audacity alone (!)
This is my last outing (a kind of remix of Mr. Me Too by Clipse) and is probably among the more interesting examples of non dancey stuff I've made (though the intro is kind of stupid).
