Which intro should I use? | Down and Dirty Dub content

MakiSupaStar · #1 01-22-2009, 04:35 PM

Ok guys, I'm in the midst of another song here. This is still very very rough, only basic drums, bass, and guitar recorded so far. I'm torn between two intro's here. Not sure which one to work with. The dudes I'm playing with are split down the middle. Two like the first and two like the second. Figured I'd throw it up on TB to see which one wins out. Levels are still pretty rough, but some constructive feedback would still be welcome. Thanks guys. Here are the two versions.

Thanks again.

**EDIT: Ok until I figure out what the hell's going on with putfile, I'm going to put up download links from sendspace.

Niney Dub intro 1

and

Niney Dub intro 2

EDIT: Ok I have one version 1 up on Soundclick, but I don't have the space to add the second version. Here's a link to that version.

Yeah, I tried it last night and it did not work. I just got a new computer so it did not have apple on it, but it did not work even after I downloaded quicktime.

Ok. I added sendspace downloads of MP3's until I figure out why the MP3's won't play on Putfile. These files play fine as MP3's on my machine locally, so they shouldn't cause you any problems when you download them. If ya'll don't mind downloading.

Now back to figuring out putfile. Anyone got any other suggestions for sites to upload to?

I voted #2 as I heard more stuff going on in the higher registers(jus' what I like

), but I was wanting more initial rhythmic info, to tell me where the one is. Nice overall- I'm wanting the bass to get bigger, deeper & cleaner in the mix.

Ok, gave 'em a listen. I would definitely have to say #2. It sounds more in time, and the guitar sounds like it's actually leading into the beginning of the song instead of a noodle noodle, and then bam, song starts. It's a little more transitional into the actually song.

No for the rest of the song. Whats goin on at 2.59-3.10, and at 3.26-3.40? Overdrive? It sounds damn cool! And then rest of the song has a filter of some sort going? Sounds pretty squishy!

Yeah. At 2:59 that's where I kick in the 'dirty' channel of my preamp. It's the overdrive channel of the Ampeg SVP-BSP. No effects just tube grit. Then after that I step on the MoogerFooger Low Pass Filter. I took the expression pedal off it for this recording. I think it's broken, and was mucking stuff up. I might go back and close the envelope a little bit. It was wide open for this recording.
