So, we (Kilamanca) recorded some songs by miking our amps into an analog 4-track in our drummers garage, adding drums and vox after the fact, then tweaking and filtering with AnvilStudio. These songs have been our demo for the past month, but we never really asked for feedback. So now I will. Constructive criticism would be appreciated, retardedness will be avenged!

The timing is fucked, never record drums last. Vocals definitly need work. - Tue, 31 May 2005 2:04pm

this isn't my style per se. but i appreciate the garage sounding styles here. the vocals sound perfect for the music. and ignore the "rules" of recording because good music doesn't follow any set pattern. - Tue, 31 May 2005 2:36pm

I agree to ignore the "rules" of recording, to a point, but unless every member of the band is a perfect walking, living metronome on every take, you HAVE to record the drums first or else you will have so many, many problems. The reason people do things certain ways, for the most part, is because they work. But always trust what sounds good to you, the band. - Tue, 31 May 2005 3:27pm

For a demo the quality is pretty good actually. Not really my style but I can appreciate what your going for there. As a drummer that has reorded many times, I gotta tell you that there is definitely a reason for doing the drums first. Generally as a rule the way it goes is drums, bass, guitar, secod guitar, and of course any doubling up of said guitar tracks, then leads, then usually vocals, then back ups.... It is just usually much easier to get the timing right if the rhythm section is all in time first, then the rest usually just sort of flows. Run your guitar into a pair of headphones for your drummer then he can hear you but it wont come through when you record him..... - Tue, 31 May 2005 7:18pm

Cool, good to get some non-biased feedback. I think we'll re-record everything as suggested at some poin in the near future, and maybe I'll post again once that's all done. - Tue, 31 May 2005 8:43pm

metronome... that's about it for me, other than what other people have suggested... the songs are pretty cool, maybe you guys could head into the studio in the future;)
