1. Our band. I can't wait to try some new jams and work on our songs! It's really exciting. Our stuff is phenomenal.
2. Triangles. I love each side.
3. "Nag Nag Nag" by Cabaret Voltaire. I am so excited that they used the same drum machine that we're using. Is there any way we can make some of these drum beats? Or at least use that crazy fill? Cool.
P.S. The gear I have is a Mackie CR1604, LexiconVortex (effects box), Alesis 3630 Compressor and an Alesis Quadraverb (reverb) - links provided. I think you said you have a Lexicon model too. All the gear is on a rack already so I could just bring it all down without much hassle. I just need to get the right AC adaptors. One of them takes a really weird 5 pronged kind of power... it looks like MIDI ... almost but it is definitely the thing that needs power.
i also loooove "nag nag nag"!! such a great track.
ReplyDeleteAnd love our band too...i think the new track you two laid out sounds amazing...please dont kick me out of the band, hehe. PLEASE!! i promise to make it to next practice.my life has just been so chaotic this week but hopefully will at least have produced some decent lyrics. hah.
also, i am thinking id like to purchase some more effects pedals for guitar..or is any of this gear useful for guitar? i was listening to our first song (the "i hope you die" one), and i think its a great song and i love my guitar part musically, but it still sounds a bit too "guitary". i want it to be more spacey and echoey and shoegazey. right now ive been using just reverb right chris?i was thinking maybe delay or something? im not too familiar with effects and what the do but i am willing to buy stuff...i really think we can sound AWESOME. i mean, we already do but..yah. hehe.
or even i could play synths too on some songs if we dont need guitar. that new song sounds great sans guitar.
anyways yes. i am very excited.

Aye,
ReplyDeletethe beat in Nag, Nag, Nag would be very easy to reproduce on the CR-78. The fill is one of the presets (the unit can only do preset fills), it's just that they've got a really fast tempo so the fill sounds different from when we were playing around with it at slower tempos.
That Mackie would be great, and a significant improvement over what we've got currently, as would the two effects units, just to play around with if nothing else, see if they have any unique/distinct effects. I also have a Lexicon effects unit I've been meaning to bring in from the garage.
Guitar currently is going through a Boss digital delay pedal and the built-in spring reverb on the amp and a bit of distortion also on the amp.
