Those, plus ReaDelay and ReaComp

I do all of my recordings in REAPER and I use its stock plugins. For the vocals I usually add quite a lot of delay that bounces from the left to right channel and I apply just enough reverb so that the 'dryness' disappears. In order to make them stand out you need a good volume balance between all t...

I would absolutely double track them if that's not much of a hustle. You can't just copy them over because you get phasing effect.

There are shitloads of tutorials on YouTube but you should start with double tracking guitars and panning them hard left and right which gives you a solid stereo effect. I guess there should be quite a lot of compression on the drums and the vocals.

This sounds like one of those tunes that people can interpretive dance to. Yep. No further thoughts.

Exactly. Thankfully he's releasing a 'mostly instrumental 11 minute hybrid of progressive rock, spiritual jazz and electronica' next week.

To be fair, in many countries in mainland Europe there is no distinction between Europe and the UK. In English-speaking countries the distinction is present though.

It shouldn't but it depends on the number of passengers and if you've got checked baggage or not.

But, like, you've done all of it with a serious intent of making music?

You mean they were programmed? What does it mean they were done in post?

I don't know who mixed this, but he did not do a good job: Stapp's vocals are shockingly buried in the mix, and the drums are way too loud (which, as you all know, is also the case with most Elvis Baskette projects). The whole thing is not pleasing for the ears, which is surprising since the 2019 a...

You should come to Poland, mate.

Cheers mate, although I don't like it that much myself haha. I preferred City Burials.

No reason at all actually, it's just the way I put it in the sheet

My list so far, green ones are done, white ones still to go.

I hope so! Thanks so much!

Turning the dreaded 30 in 5 days.

Are we talking one change per album or per the whole discography? In case of the former: Blackbird: replace 'Break Me Down' with 'New Way To Live' The Last Hero: get rid of 'You Will Be Remembered' Walk the Sky: remove 'The Bitter End' and 'Tear Us Apart' Pawns & Kings: drop "Season of Prom...

I had no idea that Imbruglia's version is a cover:

It's already 10:30 EST time, I don't think the announcement is coming today (if at all).

I have a question. Why is this the last leg of the tour? Historically, they would run until October, November, even December. They would hit Europe 3 times instead of 2. They would hit places outside of Europe and North America. Why end the tour so soon? What are they gonna do for the rest of the y...
