We'll be trying out guitarists as we take the month of april off, cancelling a few shows; and if no one shows potential, we will have no problem carrying on as a 4 piece.

i wonder if the singer of lucas ever got his teeth replaced.

hahahaha zing!

hey, its jonathan the guy setting up the basement show with the_network...the show is the 14th, not the 13th. looks like you have a show that night already...drop me an e-mail or something birth_rites@yahoo.com

I'm pretty sure that Scars Of Tomorrow/Remembering Never show was moved to the PAL in Fall River. You might want to talk to Tony about that...

The Waltham one that is...

The show on Thursday, May 6 with Remembering Never, Scars of Tomorrow, In Dire Need, and Lucas has in fact been moved to the PAL in Fall River, MA.

i wonder if they ever got the fish smell out of the PAL.

fish - yes
cow hearts - no

Once you see a kid fall to the ground after taking a pig heart to the face you've officially achieved the meaning of life.

Days Will Die is playing a show with you guys???? Wow, We broke up like a month ago and theres already another band called Days Will Die.... funny... lol thats odd

its a pretty generic metalcore sounding name. there are probably 10 other bands somewhere named that as well.

i smell a fish hit here.........

you shouldn't play shows with thenightmarecontinues..., i hear the singer likes guys.

joostin said:


Haha. Let me just say this, if a fish is tossed I didn't know a thing about it. Therefore, I couldn't tell you guys not to do it.



Toss A Fish Crew was hands down the funniest thing to take place at a show last summer.

you never know what'll happen at an IDN show

FCProTony - are you responsible for the booking for that may 6th PAL show? if so, would you possibly have room for another band? we'd be more than happy to open if need be.

(our live show is alot better than our mp3s will lead you to believe.)

Jake. you have a PA, why don't you just mice your instraments and plug the pa line out right into the audio in on your computer and just record the songs? at that quality you could probably have them mastered and wouldn't haveto warn everyone you send them to an mp3....

or maybe I'm talking out of my ass.

Niccolai said:

once we can figure out how to "mice our instraments" im sure that would be a better alternative to what we are doing right now.

If your not sure how to mice your instraments, you could try micing them too.

Mic wasn't originally a real word so I think I'm allowed to spell it with an e. I really think I can do that...

Niccolai said:

mice are cute.

.. I didn't want to be the one to say it.

hahahahaha

You're an idiot. The D/A converters on a computer suck ass they only have a 8bit range if i remember correctly, so it will still sound like ass. You can't get a good master from a horrible mix without paying an assload of money. What you want to do is get a console and track through the console through a USB or firewire connection. Firewire being the best way to go. Import the tracks into protools, nuendo, or whatever you want. It'll still sound like shit if you don't know how to mic properly or use the proper mics.

I havent listened to that band to know what they sound like, but I just wanted to tell you that you have no idea what you're talking about.

So what i'm trying to say: Hire a fucking engineer. Hell you can find them for free in many situations.


Niccolai said:

the a/d d/a converters can be upgraded

he needs mics from the sound of it. i have whole bunch. and a console and a 24 track and sonar and............
why do protools users always seem like pompus assholes? if you spent as much time playing your fucking instrument as you did pitch correcting and cut and pasting songs together and learning software you wouldnt fucking need protools.

there is a difference between live and studio. you can cut and paste parts to make everything sound perfect in the studio because everything should sound PERFECT. "oh wow... the band didnt make everything in ONE take!!!!! they arent that good anymore!!!!! WAHHHHHHH!!!!!!" im appalled that most people still dont understand the meaning of studio recording.

Protools isn't always used as a perfection tool. It's a digital mixer. It would still be needed. So what if you can cut paste. They are talking about recording cheaply and effectly so I told them how to do it. And I was an asshole. Good for me. and the d/a converters in a soundcard are always shit. It's slow.

I record through my Mbox and the mastery sounds fine.
going into the audio in right on the computer wouldn't be as good, maybe not as good as I made it sound like but its much better quality than the recordings they had before maybe demo quality if done correctly.

an M-box is an interface to use protools as a console and guess what, it uses firewire. and it wasn't mastered, you just happened to get a decent mix. there is a big difference.

mastering is getting the best sound out of a two track mix that is suitable with normal home stereos with the use of EQ's and compression.

this is what punching in is for. i do studio recording. i just use a minimalist aproach. arguabley all the best recording in history where done before protools and digital recording. led zepplin for example damn those bonham drum sounds.

despite what the thread has turned into, who'll be attending some of these shows?

I'll be at Vital Remains. Joostin, can you please email me at odiumvile@hotmail.com, I got a question...
