The songs on our myspace are all home recorded. It's probably very obvious for the most part.

"Chinese Girl" is from the most recent batch, which I was pleased with.

Your stuff always sounds home recorded in the best possible way, I think.

send me multitracks

I listened to that stuff a few weeks back. Sounds really great.

Well, I've yet to hear digital clipping sound any less than totaly cock and balls. I guess I'll just crank up a preamp or throw a pedal in the loop somewhere long before I'll resort to digital distortion.
Also, anytime I've tried to dirt/fuzz something up with a plugin it's sounded like complete ASS. That's just me though.

I dunno if you're familiar with D&B producer called Dillinja but he did a load of releases around 1999 where he hammered the track into the red on his dat machine to get the sound he wanted.
I don't know if the fact that those tracks were released on vinyl made much difference but they still sound amazing.

It's interesting that you previously referred to the Flaming Lips drum sound. That monster sound on the Soft Bulletin was acheived by hammering a submix of the drums through a dat machine.
I do agree on the cock and balls comparison, generally digital distortion sounds like shit.

Ha - just saw this.

This whole 'digital distortion is bad' argument is so tired. Digital clicks, glitches and distortion have been used everywhere by now from pop to rock and most notably in electronic music - there's a million glitch sub genres at this stage.
Using a recording process to come up with new sounds is as old as recording itself. Where do you think the idea for your distortion/phaser/flanger/etc pedals came from???

thanks.

I didn't say "digital distortion is bad".
I said I haven't yet liked it, or not found an analog way that sounded nicer to me. I've certainly tried it, a whole bunch of times.

Anyone got a piano in their gaff that's tuned? I've got one but it hasn't been tuned in years. It sounds nice though, maybe i should get a tuner in and see what he can do.

 

[RED(tape)MENACE]

Yeah, I wonder how much tuners cost these days.

*shudder*

 

[snakybus]

surely snares with gated reverb are old enough to be kitsch and therefore will make a comeback?

like pony tails on mostly-bald men?

[RED(tape)MENACE]

Oh, actually, I used the saturation control on blockfish to distort a vocal. once. hehe
