Lament of Dissident Priests

By midimachine on January 22, 2012 2:58 pm

UMMMM yeah so this is me ripping off Death Cab a little bit! Spent too much time on this but v happy with it. Vocals are okay I guess, recorded them in a walk-in wardrobe which was nice and dead but the spot I was singing in was awfully sibilant and I may have de-essed too much AUGH I'm too tired to be mixing!

Anyway these are the things I used:
CME VX8 (midi controller)
BFD2 (drum vsti)
Casio CTK-731
Yamaha PSS-170
Squier P-bass
Singstar microphone (for noises and stuff)
Rode NT1-A (for proper vocals)
FL Studio woohoooooooooo!

the original project filename was "derpcabforkitty" so here's kitty

This is a great track, awesome stuff!

I like your voice.

This is gorgeous, absolutely fantastic work! Congrats!

Great track man.

Very nice.

This is so good!

Thanks everyone! On another listen after sleeping off the ear-fatigue I'm pretty happy with the mix, so YEAH!

Very good!
I didn't listen with good speakers but everything sound well recorded and mixed!
The song is great anyway!

the pause in the middle was beautiful. culmination was very emotional. thank you for this track.

Cool vocals, cool lyrics. 

wow.

wunderbar

Great stuff.

Wow.  This sounds really good man!! :-)  Love the snare just rolling though the tune.  It's a great take for the percussion.  Woah... build / break is wonderful at end.  And delay pedal chaos.  Yes.  You rock.

I love those ambient sounds. Good build. Great track all around!

I really liked this track. Nice one!

Listening to this track and reaching to post some awesome comment about it, but ooops!  I already did!  Anyway, awesome song!

Vocals great... well done! 

Love it! It reminds me heaps of Explosions in the Sky though, more so than Death Cab for Cutie.
Awesome piece heart
