Built For Nothing

[James McHugh]

Hi folks

 

We really wanted to play our debut gig last year but UK lock downs made that impossible.  So we recorded a quick set to showcase our stuff. 

Would be awesome to get some critical feedback from our peers.

Not something I've looked into yet. 

How would I get started?

I was planning on writing an article about it.... there are a few parts. I’ll try and draft some basics and post up ASAP .

Well, you've got a ROCK solid group of musicians there, each quite-visibly the master of their respective instruments.  You've really got a grasp of the "Solid Rock" genre, and I think that you delivered on that perfectly.  Your playing, across the board, is tight.  Every part fits together cleanly and drives it forward – nothing "clashes."  Also, the various tracks show variety, both in musicianship(!) and in subject.

 

The one thing that I would suggest, though, is the mixing of the vocals.  The vocalist necessarily has to sit in the same sonic space as the power-guitar and the upper range of the killer-bass, but we don't really hear him as clearly nor as brightly as we could.  Even in "a live-venue mix," I wonder what EQ might do.  (And this is meant to be "a minor quibble ...")

Perfect feedback. 

 

Thanks for taking the time to listen and giving some pointers towards mixing.

 

Muchos appreciated
