New song finished, and demo done!

[lepersmeesa]

Hey guys,

the final song for our demo has been finished and is now on our myspace.

http://www.myspace.com/thesafetyfire . The song is called The Hold, and would really appreciated some comments on the mix and the song itself. This is i suppose the "ballad" of the demo ( i use that term loosely ).

This song has around 20-25 tracks and was running short on CPU power ( comp was crashing every 30 secs...). So rather then doing what i usually do of having plugins on each track seperately i used buss's for my vocal reverbs delay, and drum reverbs. Was quite interesting, but really cant wait for my new recording setup.

Thanks in advance.

I apologise for the myspace quality. Here is a ysi link but im guessing it wont be there for long.

20-25 tracks sheesh! nice job

Not many tracks by today's standards. I won't even go into how many tracks were used on each song on my last CD!!!

[sambo]

haha lol yer i spose... but compared to my pathetic attempt at recording my band using one track per player its a huge amount  :oops:  :lol:

Some of the best recordings have been made with one or two tracks only. What matters is the final product!

Okay, sorry ... back on topic!!

[sambo]

yer but not by someone with my recording skills!!! (or lack of em as you may say)

anyway yes, back on topic  :roll:

Yeah, it really isnt a significant number of tracks really, just for my CPU power!! If we were micing guitars, we would of had a ridiculous amount of tracks. I remember seeing an interview with The Darkness on the new album and they said they user around 100-200 tracks on each song!

Cheers for the comments guys, much appreciated. To answer your question kemra i've been playing guitar for 3 years, and been playing with the band as many. We all started roughly at the same time and have been progressing together.

Cheers guys!

Now this is NICE !!!!

I can even hear some Mike Oldfield in there, and I adore his work, although he isn't so much rated a great guitarist in general ... I LOVE IT!

Wanna  see you play live, do you have a concert schedule?

DERYA!!! HOW DARE YOU  :lol: Never has anyone ever called me Derya on a forum.... :oops:  Saying that i feel like i know you slightly better now  :P

Glad you liked the track, and guitar is all about enjoying yourself and from the sound of your clips and the love of your Koch ( still would like to try one out ) im sure you are!

Cheers Hunter, glad you liked it so much. We are planning on doing lots of gigs from May onwards ( hopefully have a festival lined up in Turkey, which is gonna be a huge gig, and also a free gig for punters! I think people in the band are going to be looking at me to say something, ill be as useless as them! ). Also hopefully a summer tour.

Thanks again guys.
