Amuse

A raw rock track for you guys this week. I finally used one of my "cheats", as this track is not "finished". It was not composed this week neither, those are 3 parts that goes together, but the song itself is not written yet and we didn't take the time to polish or record properly...
This is a live take, 3-4 little edits (the end with some copy paste of the close guit microphone, and the 3 different parts were cut from the jam...)
One large diaphragme condenser room mic that points to the drum (with loads of leak from the guitar, the drum mic itself could have work) and a closed mic on the guitar cab.
It sounds kind of boxy-roomy, but I suppose it is normal as our room is not treated, probably close to a cube, etc... It is fairly hi-ceiling, decently big room tho...
I am sorry I didn't take the time to try to add any bass, or vocals, etc... It is really a "week off" for me.
I called the track "Amuse" because there are little parts here and there that reminds me of "Muse" band.
Only compression-limiting-eq was added to the track. (I did let "LANDR mastering plugin" take care of the final compression EQ, did add compression before it goes in there)
Here is the corridor of one of the space in Montreal where tons of bands rehearse... This is Cité 2000, capture was from there
The local itself:
ROCK!
Fitness journey... Did cheat quite a bit eating healthy but was "fine" about the training. I was able to do again about 7hrs of cardio. Weight didn't change at about 197lbs - 89kg, this is not encouraging, but it is what it is. I might have little slowdowns here and there but I don't want to bail out, so let's GO!!!
