@Bloodline:
That's a very cool song on your site. Any reason why it's not available for download?
Cheers, The record company were reluctant to let me even show the track...
Ah, I see. I didn't realise you were signed. What label and, if it's not too nosey, how did they hear about you?
I'll PM you the gory details :-)
I actually wanted to show one of the other tracks, but none of them have had a final mix or been mastered yet... but "Myself" is pretty close, so they agreed as long as it was for listening only... so no downloads yet...
Ah well - very nice stuff anyway. :pint:
That you singing?
Not the main vocal.
Reminds me a bit of Damon Albarn.
Aye... you don't say ;-)
Think I might also (cash permitting) be pestering you for Logic advice in the not too distant future.
I'll be happy to help any way I can (not just Logic advice ;-) )!
Thank you.
You'll find with Logic, that it becomes much easier to get a clean crisp sound... far better than the expensive, non portable Protools system we were using...
A good Logic setup doesn't come cheap though :-(
£1800 - For a 2Ghz MacBook Pro (With 2gig RAM).
£699 - For Logic Pro 7.2
£360 - For an Edirol FA-101 Half-Rack Firewire Audio interface
£2860 - Grand total!!
And then you need a decent set of mics...throw another £2000 on the fire :-o
Then the more adventurous can get a control surface (assuming your Midi keyboard doesn't have one built in)... anther £800...
OK - we're a bit away from that yet.
Would I be able to do much with the following?:
1.33Ghz iBook (512meg RAM) - already have
Logic Express - can get for £170
M-Audio midi/audio interface. can get for ~£80.
-EDIT-
We also have one decent condenser mic. already.

Yeah, Logic Express will do fine on that. I assume you'll be mosting using it as a non-linear multitracker, so just make sure you choose what effects you run in the 8 busses carefully! I always prefer to plan out how I'm going to route it once the songs is worked out, but before we record.
That way most tracks can route through one of your 8 fx busses, and that still leaves you 4 inserts per audio track for any extras ;-)
Try to avoid the "Heavy" (i.e. platinum effects), unless you can be sure that the track can be frozen to save on the CPU. The less CPU grunt you have, the more carefully you have to plan the structure of the song... as it limits the complexity of your edits.
Also, do try to get a Firewire interface, they are bus powered which is a life saver, and suffer a lot less from latency... gahhh... USB2 and latency :pissed:
Oh, and send my appologies to Potsy :lol:
Hehehe.. no worries.
Cheers Matt! :pint:
I hope I didn't offend him, I just prefer your vocal. I think your vox will be easier to mix and require less effects to get a distinctive sound.
