Hey Ben. Just wondering, what kind of mic do you use? Is it a snowball by any chance? Been looking to buy one lately, and if you have one, let me know what you think about them. I'm getting fed up lately with .22 condenser mics due to feed back, and money is actually coming in lately; thus I figure it's time for few new mics.
Anyway, I still really like your vocals, and the quality. Keep it up.
PC BROKEN WAAAAAHHHHHHHHHH (And I didnt even spill milk on it!:p ) Im on at the library so if u dont hear from me dont worry Ill terrorize you soon!hehe
Yeah I'm working on about 5 tracks right now. I'm running into one of those trouble spots. I'm really pushing to get them rendered, but I just keep running into new problems. It's getting quite frustrating. A number of my VSTi plugins are failing to make the transition from one DAW to another. So it's taking a hell of a lot longer than I thought. Especially with my Attention Deficit Disorder, it becomes a real pain in the ass.
Yeah, I would happily do some artwork for you. Just give me a theme if you have one in mind, or a general direction that you want it to go in, and I'll do it for free, anytime. Or if you don't have a specific theme in mind, I'll just throw some stuff together based on the style and direction of your music.
As far as album artwork goes, I just make it myself with a Nikon, and photoshop lol. I've had a few people make things for me, but imo the album art is just as important as the music. So I always try to make it myself.
The pleasure is all mine Sir Steed. As the day was cold and rainy it made a great lazy day. I also want to say that your music is very good. I look forward to hearing more.
