Hi everyone, I just finished mixing a new song called "planet" I used my alembic skylark on it. One track through a fulltone fulldrive 2 and the other through a timmy pedal. I also used some amplitude plugins on the guitar tracks. The acoustic guitar is a JP Rushing parlor sized guitar. I have it up on these 3 links: http://corrientesmusic.com/Planet_Demo.html http://corrientesmusic.com/EVT_recordings.html http://www.getunderground.com/underground/music/gallery.cfm?Album_ID=45 Please let me now what you think. thanks, Ivette (Message edited by evt on May 27, 2006) | ||

Cool! Is that the Fulltone on the short chorus sections? What's a timmy pedal? And what does an amplitude plugin do? | ||

Beautiful EV! The Skylark sounds really full and powerful, and I really like the delicate sound of your JP Rushing too - it sounds great with your voice - very clear and clean. I really like Hopeless, which, according to your site, also features your Skylark. It sounds appropriately dark and acoustic on this number. This song has a very interesting mix of tight, clear, bright tone and dark, minor, layered stuff going on - very unexpected. How's the progress on your Fano? I'm interested to hear it. Your songs sound unlike anything I'm hearing out there these days. Granted, I don't really tune into the pop scene or much of mainstream radio. I kind of get a vibe of The Roches and Ani DiFranco. BTW - in addition to your musical pursuits, I see that you're a teacher and thought I'd add that your students are very lucky to have you. I spent many years as an elementary art educator and I know the kind of difference one can make in a child's life. Keep on . . . Peace Tom (Message edited by tom_z on May 27, 2006) | ||

Hi, Dave: I used the Fulltone Fulldrive 2 and the Timmy pedal on the heavier chorus part "you are not the only person out of place on this planet...". I added amplitude plugins which were amp simulation plugins because i recorded direct, so it added ambience to the guitar tracks to help them sit better with the drums that were recorded in a rehearsal space. The timmy is a cool pedal made by Paul Cochrane, he makes them by hand. I have a photo of it on my pedalboard on the EVT Productions site. It's setup cool... it has a bass and a treble that you have all the way left, and then by turning it clockwise, it takes away from the the frequency. I also love the Barber Tone Press it's a compressor pedal, and it works really nicely with the timmy pedal. Here is a harmony central link to it: http://www.harmony-central.com/Effects/Data/Paul_Cochrane/Timmy-1.html And the fulltone fulldrive 2 is a really great pedal too. I have a Studio Journal that explains some of what I'm doing as far as recording, and has some photos: http://studioforums.com/groupee/forums/a/tpc/f/4771010951/m/2161015951 Also, the EVT Productions section on our website is about recording: http://corrientesmusic.com/EVT_open.html Well actually, "planet" is the first song mixed with my new pc, which I bought through "Front End Audio". And, it's the first song I have done with a live drummer. We recorded the drum tracks for 10 songs to make an album. Now I'm working on adding everything else to the drum tracks, and mixing the songs. Keavin: thanks :o) Tom: lol you remember about the Fano, yes I'm STILL waiting.... he moved into a new space and it's been taking a long time. I really do love my JP Rushing, I would like to get an OM sized one someday. I really like the smaller sized acoustics. They record really well. Dreadnoughts have a boominess when mic'd that make them more difficult to sit well in a mix. Yes, I do enjoy my job with the kids. I actually teach them literacy through music. I go to different classes with an acoustic guitar and I teach them different songs to help them with reading, phonics, rhyming... etc. And, I also prepare them for concerts. I work with a chorus teacher who plays keyboard, and another teacher who plays saxophone. It's pretty cool. I want to start recording what we do with the kids. Thanks for the compliment :o) Ivette (Message edited by evt on May 27, 2006) |
