Aye thats fine.
Saturday 12-3 that is. Can everyone make it?
I have booked an additional rehearsal this weekend. Its at Core Studios 12-3 in the maniacal room 2.
This week its tuesday at Daves - prob 7pm. Normal Thursday 6-9 at studio. Then we will speak to them about changing to friday when we're in. We will also need a final practice over the weekend before the gig on tuesday.
Hi folks... So can I just check what the new arangements are for practses over next wee while? I need to know to sort out my diary. Thanks. Oh and I cancelled the lakes to be around next weekend for practise... plus I was skint as always! ;) So when and where this week and when do the fridays start? Linda
Hi guys, the version of FOH that we did on mikes phone is on the web at the link above. Cheers.
Hello. I have seen this message and I would like to make it clear that I will be able to come to the pratice.
Hello. Practice on this thursday as usual 6-9. Leave a message on this page to indicate you have seen this message and if you can make it. This will help cut down texting.
No that makes sense. Mike agrees that the dynamics are an important part when playing it live in order to differenciate each section. I just sent it away right enough :-) but something to bear in mind. I think its best that it was included on the CD anyway. I think Robbie might be helping out with the T in the park thing so hopefully we've got a spot on the main stage regardless...
Oh my God, that didn't make sense and I'm sober honest!... basicaly, I think we should use it, but shorten each section! There, that was easier! :)
It's hard to get it having the same impact as it does when it's live so I think the demo should be shortened as each section is still good but I think it can get a bit boring as a recorded version because the dynamics are missing. Could each section be shortened and then put together to still give a good impression of the song but without the listener having to wait so long... Each section is too long on this and it gets repetitive which doesn't happen in a live performance.
It doesnt have the same dynamics as the live version. The part where i sing "i knew that i'd make a breakthro" is too loud. It needs to be just guitar, vocal and slower drums.
Hey boys and girls. Whats the verdict on the morning sesh mp3. should it be on the demo?
Should we try this? http://www.theunsignedguide.com/festivals.asp?gclid=CMudp4XGvJICFRkR1AodiCfAcQ
PS. The mastered version of London is online at the link above if you want to listen to it. I think we're gonna get a couple of further changes made to it though.
The practice is on this thursday, we need to get back on form as we now have a gig at the start of May. If you intend to contribute to the mastering bring along your share (£21) on thursday night so we can reimburse dave asap.
Hello. We went ahead and got the mastering done yesterday. But we decided to do one song (london) rather than the 3 of them. The idea behind that is that we were unsure how much improvement would be made and we wanted to keep costs down. It cost £105 and Dave had to spend most of the weekend preparing the tracks and half day in the studio with the engineer. So its been a bit of a project for him.
NO DRUNKEN ABUSE OF THIS PAGE IS PERMITTED!
oh no wait, it's the other one... the wee Irish one..... i think his name is Louis? any of you guys know?

we were thinking about "Gypsy Boy", "i never knew" and finishing off with a rip roaring cover of that primal scream song you put on last week. Sound good?
no i love you
i love you Dave
im up for the recording - what songs?
im up for the recording - what songs?
Aye, I think it would be really expensive and take a long time if we wanted him to do recording aswell. The 9 hours is what he needs just to take the existing tracks and mix them properly in his studio (so getting him to do recording would be a lot more). Its up to you guys. I've done my best at mixing the 3 tunes, which you can listen to from the link above. What we would be doing, is giving him the original recorded tracks, and getting him to do it properly with eq, reverb, compression etc.
All the recording has already been done at Dave's over the past 2 months, we are not going into the studio on Monday. Dave is mixing the songs into a list of tracks that the studio engineer will EQ and balance and add effects to. He says it will take him 9 hours of his time to do 3 songs. Thats what we're paying for.
Do they think we'll get three songs done in one night? And where is core sudios?
hiya. Cool about practise. I'm good about the recording thing except it sounds a bit nerve wrackin... especially when I still don't feel like we are sorted for what sounds I'm playing and on which instrument etc. Ryan is working and will be away all weekend. I think I'm goin climbing or somethin on Sat durin the day but otherwise I'd like to practise a lot, so let me know who's about and when...
Whats going on here!!!!!!! nae answer? Whos running this job? Who's in charge?
Practice is definitely cancelled. We need to spend time getting the demo finalised.
Practice definately cancelled? I am up for proper recording of songs. Count me in to share the 250 squid cost.
Also, we have spoken to core studios about professionally mixing our demo. They are able to do it on monday at a cost of £250 (for 3 songs). Can everyone please respond if you are alright, or otherwise paying £50 each to get this done?

Hi all, the practice is cancelled tonight due to extra recording work required to submit our application to tbreak/loch lomond and wicker man festivals.
Hello? ...hello.. hello... hello... Echo... echo... echo... echo...
Hi Linda. I've come up with an organ sound for Faro which is on the website. This means playing the organ along with the synth, but with different hands. See what you think. Cheers.
Hi Linda. Me and Mike were thinking of doing something at the flat, maybe tomorrow or somthing. Do you want to work on the keyboard stuff and pick some sounds on the organ?
hiya. robin said he can't make it thurs so was wonderin what we are doing? Is there a practise before Thurs?
Hi folks. At tomorrows prac, we were thinking that we could try and do an alternative version of Togehter that me and mike recorded. Its called Together.mp3 from the above link. The strings are not too bad Linda, and I can try them tomorrow and show you if it sounds decent. Can you guys give the tune a listen? Cheers.
Prac at 6 tomorrow, usual booking. Me and mike just been doing some more on the demo cause there are deadlines coming up for festival submissions.
