new track recording

[mux]

Holas,

So yeah. Here's a clip from my live set at the Caprice Nightclub a couple of weeks ago. I'd greatly appreciate some critique of both the recording technique and the music itself. The track is called "Collaborate" - ironic, since I don't really like to collaborate with other people on music.

The recording was done on both a stereo microphone into a minidisc recorder *and* a line-out from the mixer into a DAT recorder. The two recordings were mixed together and mastered gently in Logic Audio.

Spot the illegal samples! There's stuff from Clone High, Eminem, Vanilla Ice and a couple else that I've long since forgotten. Guess I can't ever release this one for vinyl. ;)

Been playing with and collecting gear for about seven or eight years now... first synths were a Roland Alpha Juno-2 and a Korg M3R, traded both with a friend for a Tachamine G-330 accoustic guitar in 1997, after getting bitten *hard* by the electronic music bug...

Then again, I'm 28 and have never owned a car... :/

Hah. Or you could, get the vinyl's all pulled off the shelves and then the ones out there would be worth like $100 a la JAMs and O Fortuna. =)

Alpha Juno-2 Is a wikkid synth. It the studio I was working with there was:

Korg Mono/Poly
Yamaha DX-7 (a Mk1 & Mk2)
Yamaha TX-7 (DX-7's module)
Roland TR-606
Roland Juno 106
Roland MC-202 <-- it fucking SUCKED , but had a phat sound
Future Retro FR-777
E-MU XL-1
The Alpha Juno's rack mount version (forget the proper model name)
Boss DR-770
Home-Made TB-303 clone (VERY close sound to the real deal)
Home-Made 1 Osc synth (we called it "1 Testicle" cause it only had one oscilator)
Roland JD-800
Korg PolySix (Nice toy, but completely useless)
Access Virus C
Yamaha AN-200
Korg Electribe EA-1 (2 of them)
Ensoniq ESQ-1
Boss SP-202 (we had it for a week before we ditched it... piece of shit)
Roland MKS-7 (Juno 106's rack mount version)
Korg Poly 800 (with MODs... Oooo, I don't miss it lol)

and last but not least... we baby-sat a Roland Jupiter 6 for a month (and was a good months that was)

Hmm... the mix does kinda reak of the Live sound... sounds great for rawk n roll... but for this I'd probably scrap the mic recording and just use the lineOut->DAT signal. If you want the sound of the croud, set up a couple unidirectional mics aiming away from the speakers or something. Or fade the mics in just in parts (breakdown/buildups?) where there's croud noise.

I like the track though :)
if it's critique you want, I'd say put more of a buildup curve on the vocal loops (collaborate colaborate).. decreasing delay time or rising pitch or something.. I dunno.. [I feel odd critiquing your work, cos its overall so rockin.. :kimmie: ]

I like the live audience faint in the background, it's a neat effect.
