Hey, recording question. I know you use Firepods. But I'm looking at an interface with multiple applications. I've found a mixer with firewire and USB 2.0 connectivity with multitrack recording and monitor and stereo outputs. Would you say that would be a wise investment? Also, did you get your mics in packs or separately?

[SnareSpectre]

@lpjdrummer12295

As long as you're sure it's SIMULTANEOUS multi-track recording, I think it's a good bet. Also - does it actually record these tracks straight onto a computer, or does it record internally? Now that I've used an audio interface that goes straight into the computer, I wouldn't recommend anything else. USB 2.0 isn't all that great but Firewire should work fine.

My drum mics came in packs - they're the cheap "CAD" brand, and for the price I think they do the job quite nicely.

[lpjdrummer12295]

@SnareSpectre That's the thing, the mixer I'm looking at does both. It's an audio interface with multitrack recording and a standard mixer as well. So yes it can record all of these tracks at once.

[SnareSpectre]

@lpjdrummer12295

Sounds like a good piece of equipment to me...I definitely recommend going and asking someone at a local Guitar Center or something about it first, though, since I'm not too knowledgeable on different models of mixer. I'm only familiar with how to work Firepods :)

[lpjdrummer12295]

@SnareSpectre Sounds like a plan, thanks for the help.

[chavis1985]

wowwwwwww se oye genial gran trabajo great job!!!!

[MrSethGodSOURCE]

This is pretty epic.

[SnareSpectre]

@MrSethGodSOURCE

Thanks! I'm probably more proud of this video than any other one I've posted, and I hope Cadmiumboy is, too. :)

[steelcageradio]

great job guys! Love the metal with the Latin Jazz vibe! is it available on iTunes?

[Cadmiumboy]

@steelcageradio thanks! unfortunately it's not on iTunes, but I can send you an mp3 via e-mail

[parrakis]

@Cadmiumboy

can i have the high quality mp3 too? :D

[SpidermanPlaysTama]

Great job, keep up the good work.

[lpjdrummer12295]

sounds a lot like dream theater there, excellent song

[silentshadowdnb]

sensational timing trickery lads. brilliant.

[cardsfanatic]

man that sounded great. good song.

[beanriffs]

awesome, sounds like dream theater

[BennyBennis]

Would much rather listen to this all day than listen to the shittest mainstream music that most of todays youth listens to.

[jacannon134]

Very Liquid Tension Experiment-ish. I dig it.

[silenttool]

Freakin' awesome!

[pfmrokman]

THIS IS WHY THE INTERNET EXISTS!! This is what people from all over the globe should be doing. Don't listen to haters.

In the description you should be soliciting a vocalist. (you're way too far away from worrying about royalties)

[SnareSpectre]

@pfmrokman

What haters? :) So far, this video has gotten a lot of great feedback! I'm really, really proud of this one, and I imagine Cadmiumboy is, too...he wrote one heck of a cool song here. Everyone here should send him PMs and tell him to write another one so we can post another video sometime soon. :D

[JORDANROUBIQUE]

@SnareSpectre if yall do write another one i want to be first in line to be a vocalist.

[ThePurpleDrumStick]

freakin sick! how does your kit sounds so good with these mics?! i have a samson 5kit, pluged in to a behringer xenyx mixer, do you have any tips on how to make it sound better (check my vids to hear them)

[Cadmiumboy]

@ThePurpleDrumStick thanks! it's not so much a mic choice as it is with mic placement and a lot of post-processing. check out SnareSpectre's tutorials on recording/mixing drums; he goes pretty in depth with it

[WelcomeWakinyan]

Amazing!

[squibble94]

Whoa, great job guys. What kind of bass is that? I really dig the tone.

[Cadmiumboy]

@squibble94 thanks man! tis a Greg Bennett bass made by Samick, which is only about $200, paired up with an amp simulator plugin that came with my software

[squibble94]

@Cadmiumboy WOW!!! My 7th grade english teacher had a Samick... It sounded like absolute junk. How does it feel to play? Right now I'm using a Peavey Patriot bass, and it's not the tone I want at all. I can use an upgrade.

[Cadmiumboy]

@squibble94 it feels pretty good to play because of the low action. although I'd prefer it if the headstock were bigger, because I like basses with counterweight contrasting the body. I don't know much about the patriot bass, but you could try switching out the pickup... and/or you can invest in a sansamp bass driver, which makes almost anything sound good

[squibble94]

@Cadmiumboy I see. The bass I'm using is past the point of sounding good. I like basses with smooth and punchy highs. Basically Fender P/Jazz basses.  The highs on my bass sound farty. They aren't tight at all. I don't really even think it's worth it to replace the pickup. A new bass is definitely in order for this guy. :D

[Cadmiumboy]

@squibble94 lol well then the likes of Fender should do you some justice =)

[111spandex]

what mics did you use on the drums? did you use the CAD drum mics?

[SnareSpectre]

@111spandex

Sure did!

[CrawfordDrummer]

The beginning sounds like Behaving Badly by Animals As Leaders to me... but sick work

[Cadmiumboy]

@CrawfordDrummer thanks! I have AAL on my iPod, so it's probably not a coincidence lol

[CrawfordDrummer]

@Cadmiumboy I'm in love with them so I could just be hearing them in my head Lol, but it might just be the keyboard voice lol

[Cadmiumboy]

@CrawfordDrummer yeah I know what you mean. well actually I was more so influenced by the likes of Yes and LTE for the intro, but it turned out sounding more like AAL >_<

[CrawfordDrummer]

@Cadmiumboy Well I thinks that is how almost every song is made, a collection of influences making a unique sound, or maybe just a computer and pitch correction haha not here tho!

[romodrummerjz]

i thought i was listening to DT for a sec there hahaha AMAZING JOB YO!!!

[Cadmiumboy]

boo that sucked. you guys are n00bs. don't even try anymore ;-)

[McShmooopy]

First and sweet!
