But hey its rushed, but atleast I can record now HAHAH!!! So I'll post some stuff I take some time with in the future. Now I just have to get the drums in

I like the arrangement of the song nicely done, but the singing I don't know dude.... Better warm up good next time.

^^ Oh hell yeah man. My voice is way too off. I'm usually in much better control of my vibrato and my notes aren't off. Yeah it takes me a good hour to get ready so thats why I said fuck it.

Cool man, keep up the recording. I'm getting interested in homerecording myself too lately. But I need to get some decent gear, what do you use to record with?

[Uchiha Sasuke]

Well nothing killer I'll tell you that much. I'm pretty much just using my PC. All I got is my Zoom 707II guitar pedal hooked into the input on my audiocard. And then I use Audacity to record and mix tracks (Still goofing around with that). So yeah its sooooo freaking basic. I just need to figure out how to mix the levels better...

Well it's a good way to start right? I'm thinking along the same lines. Got a line6 POD, cubase SX3 but I still need to get a decent soundcard with multiple channels and midi I/O(thinking about a EMU 0404 or Terratec) plus I need to to upgrade my memory to at least 1024 otherwise the cubase won't run smooth. Quite interesting material that whole homerecording-stuff. Keep us posted when you get a drumpart with it( BTW what will you use for your drumparts...Fruity loops??).

Just to join in the posting of songs, here's a rough demo.

Who Killed Laura Palmer?

Try to enjoy! xx

Well so far just my pedal, it has a drum machine. I gotta either find someone who can do it better or find a way to hook my drums straight up to it.

OH BTW RED, I want you to help me with producing some of my bands shit. So give me a pm back on myspace on which prog you use so I can record the stuff and send it to you.

You need to bring the recording levels down a whole lot, because your tracks are clipping out. You can always boost the volume at a later point when it's mixed down. It makes anything post-distort sound really muffled and you can't make out the guitar line, which is a nice part, although I think you'd benefit from running a drum beat underneath it so it all stays in time. You can always remove it afterwards. There's a good free software drum machine called hammerhead which is good to use as a metronome.

Bezerker, your kit set up there is really good already! I know bands that have recorded things with less good equipment than that. When you get your full set up working, I'll imagine it'll nearly rival a proper studio. Instead of going for a multiple input soundcard, why not buy a mixer? Behringer make a cheap one I think which is meant to be great for home recording. Cubase is a good programme, but I choose personally to run a simple recording programme called Ntrack along with Soundforge for .wav editing, and as for inputs I tend to improvise. The track posted above was recorded by first running a d.i'd 10w practise amp to the pc for the guitars and the vocals. I think it sounds pretty good myself for what it is. My top tip would be to never run effects from a digital multi-pedal and instead either manipulate the tracks using software or use analogue seperate pedals. The sound quality is so much better.

Yeah, I just recently got a better program from Red and its helping already. I just got to tinker around with it and get used to everything. And yeah I'm trying to get this damn metronome thinger to work properly so thats another task. And it will definately help keep things in time because its such a bitch.

Thanx for the tips Faile, I've been looking into those Behringer mixers they got pretty decent ones, but I need to read into the material first. I find the the website(forum) of soundonsound.com very usefull to learn a lot of stuff. Cubase can be a real pain to work with as I have heard, but I still need to find out so maybe Ntrack will be a nice alternative, thanx!
