I made this!
I feel cheap and dirty doing this but... hey-ho, fuck it. I've been a b3tan for several years (though only alive with this username for a few days) so I thought I'd
It's music so none of teh funny unless you're particularly amused by our Chris Morris inspired band name.

thank you x 1,000,000
The consensus amongst our friends is that that's easily our best song.
Only 6 tracks can be uploaded which means we had to miss off an industrial/numetally track, a mogwai-like dirge and a jangly guitar/synth indie track.
We were also hoping to do some D'n'B but didn't get round to doing so.

It's a bit of
the Cure, Yo La Tengo, the Specials and Sigur Ross innit. The synth work on the lead voice suits the sound scape perfectly.
D+B is always win. Go for it dude.

EDIT: or am I missing a Blue Jam / On The Hour reference?

Have you ever written a spherical song?
Has Michael Nyman?

'does not accept friend requests from bands'?
Well, that's just rude.

curse you myspace *shakes fist*
I didn't set up the account. I'm currently scrambling to find out how to undo this shocking injustice.

Hey fella.
Myspace seems to be borking for me, but reading the responses I would really like to hear it.
Anywhere else I can listen?

Some nice tracks
If you need hosting of tracks I'd also suggest you use soundcloud.com. That's what I use. Unlimited tracks and better player than myspace.
Mix downs could do with a bit of work. The vocals seem to sit quite far back in the mix.
Otehrwise some nice ideas.

thanks for advice
I did most of mixing and didn't really have a clue what I was doing i.e. picked it up as I went along. The singer kept on asking to be made more and more quiet ;)

Ignore him!
The vocal really needs pushing forward. Good stuff though!
/edit. By "him", I mean your singer.

What did you mix with?
I suppose the quality of your mix downs vary greatly with the set up you have. ie monitor placement, type of monitors, quality of plug ins used etc etc.
I make dance music so it's a whole different ball game to what you doing, but I do think with a little tweaking you could improve your sound greatly.

equipment
Recording: Vocals done using a Behringer phantom preamp with a JTS condenser mic into a PC with a DMX 6Fire. Guitars also done through the 6Fire.
Software: Cool Edit Pro for mixing (bit old school I know) and FL Studio for synths and beats.

you need to try reaper
Seriously. Its a $50 DAW (a la cubase, logic) and its very very good. I suggest you move to that immediately! Much better for your applications than cool edit pro. It supports vst's and best of all you can download a fully functioning version for free that never expires.
Check it out here: www.reaper.fm/
Also for some really amazing free vst plug ins check out: varietyofsound.wordpress.com/downloads/
I'm not an engineer, but I could point you in the direction of some helpful sites if you want. Rather message me on here if you want that cos I'll miss it otherwise
