Check out my band, HÄLITZER

Well..you asked.

The bass is way too loud in the mix. The bass line is WAYYYYYY too busy for the song. The vocalist is off key most of the song.

I get the feeling this is mostly "your" project. Is this correct? That would explain the busy bass line and the mix.

 

Hmmmm.... music related and in off topic, it's too bad we don't have a sub forum for Recordings to go... Maybe we can talk to Paul about getting a place that we can all post our own tracks for each other to listen... maybe even post stuff we've bought and others might like to know about too.































good stuff Sean

 

Hmm pretty sure I wouldn't go that far. Did you guys steal Gabu's singer?

Also, the guitar player could stand to put a cork in it a little. "Less is more" can apply to every aspect of this.

 

That solo was terrible, guitarist needs to learna new trick besides quick hammer on pull off combos.

 

Not a bad idea, but I think it will benefit greatly from a sparser arrangement. Too much is happening all over the place. Some kind of percussion to keep the beat would be nice, that way the guitar and bass can relax without having the song drifting away (which perhaps could be an idea as well). Also, the recording quality sounds like I've got cotton in my ears.

It needs work, but I think it has potential to be really cool. You still have a lot to prove to live up to your Myspace bio.

 

Will be really cool finished.

Personally, I'd recommend against backgrounds like the one you have on your myspace. It's extremely hard to read w/o highlighting the text. Solid colors are classy.

 

OMG HA H AHAH


This is funny.

I dig it for comedic value

"mango man!"

 

ok. enough beating around the bush.

i think the potential is there...

but it sucks.

 

(couldn't help it! )

 

Imagine a sound that makes you feel like it grabbed you by the throat & kicked you in the balls. A sound so nauseating, yet so frightening, you can't avoid listening. A sound that leaves loose bowels for days afterwards. A huge sound of feedback, distorted bass, whammy dives, elephants humping (assuming the vocalist) , and eardrums bleeding. A sound that weakens the soul, and wrenches the gut. A sound that can only be created by "Fat" Chris McCune, with his electric guitar wankery, and Sean Gearhart, a bass guitarist who strives for any sound but the ordinary (unless you count the nameless bass players in past decades before good gear was made. A sound only created by Halitzer.

Fixed it for you

 

Ha! That's mean.

 

any more variations of this joke?

 

I'd hit it.

 

Thanks. I just spit a little of Abita's Restoration Ale on my keyboard.

OK..perhaps we have been a bit harsh. Ox..just try to remember to play for the song and not to impress everyone with your chops. Remember, 999 out of 1000 listeners don't give a crap if the bassist can play alot of notes. Also, I'd discourage posting songs for public consumption that aren't finished yet. With some drum tracks, and some pitch correction (ok..a LOT of pitch correction) on the vocals, I may feel completely different about the song. Oh..and that guitar solo was truly horrendous. Did he play through a Line 6, or a transistor radio? The sounds are similar.

 

From my POV..

Bass wasn't too busy for me, but when drums come around (or at least a drum machine), try play in with the drummer more if you can.

The guitar solo plain sucked IMO. It was a slower/melodic song and he went full on face melter with nothing to back it up. Something more melodic would be good.

Apart from that, I can see potential

 

Hmmm that effect of sounding like old school radio you talking about? i've heard that effect used in a pretty good way... Local band of my buddy (soma) the guitarist uses simular effect and does very cool things with it... i can probebly post their mp3 tomorow... it sounds pretty damn cool (i am addicted to that band btw . Sad thing to be addicted to your friends band... )

I totally agree that solo needs to slow the hell down...

 

You cannot have the Mango!
