hey soyzabean / elevenine - thanks for listening! it was recorded at home actually. drums were loops and i used an ibanez bass direct to my mixer, and i mic'ed up my amp for the guitar parts. erm, vocals were me singing into a condenser mic in my room la. thanks for the encouraging words. glad u guys liked it! cheers

[hongkongspy]

can't believe u did this by yourself..
cool stuff

 

[elevenine]

hey fibredrive, the drum loops sound awesome! i never thought much about using loops cos i never believed i could find the right one for the songs..but you did a fine job there!

mind sharing what collection the drumloops were taken from? i'm always on the lookout for what other people used, cos i did my recordings using beats that i programmed cos i could never find the perfect drum loop..and if you listen a little harder you can tell my drums are programmed..

 

[fibredrive]

hi hongkongspy - thanks for the kind words. took me about 2 weeks to write and record everything. but its all fun. heh.

hi elevenine - i tried programming beats before too but honestly found it all a little tiresome. heh. i use loops i bought from betamonkeyloops.com. think i bought about 5 different collections so i got plenty to choose from. and it's pretty decently priced too! cheers

 

[elevenine]

just checked out the beta monkey site..awesome loops they have there! and you're right..i can't believe the price! great stuff.
