Re: Juliet never liked her hair (The Middle Part reviews)

Let's respond to the nice comments, just cause I'm bored. I voted for these songs: Bachelor Police - Good song! I liked the singing. The singer sounds a little bit like John Benjamin. I also liked the drums. Yay! I guess I need to brush up on my SF! to get that reference. Todd will be happy about th...

Re: Juliet never liked her hair (The Middle Part reviews)

So the boys of Bachelor Police all are in a house together for the semester. This is our first entry as a band and we put it together Sunday. We decided we would sit down together and review the songs collectively on first impressions. Here goes (more to come at a later date). Also, the band members...

Re: The Middle Part

The Middle Part By Bachelor Police We found this place pristine empty white-washed walls numerous memories yet to fill these barren halls I missed the middle part When did we begin? Can we start again? Can we start again? We left that place in ruins burned it down I'm sure smoldering ashes still fal...

Re: Between Pre-Fight and Post-Fight there's this

Bachelor Police are in. Since songwriting was left up to me, we lost the blue-garage part of our sound and basically just ended up indie-punk ala Weakerthans. Here's hopin someone digs it and I'm looking forward to all the constructive feedback you guys give.

Re: Between Pre-Fight and Post-Fight there's this

It's been something like 4 years since I tried songfight. My new band is all moving into a house together this week and to get the creative juices flowing we're considering taking part in this fight. Guess I'm saying, The Bachelor Police may be making an appearance bringing some sub-par-college-gara...

Re: Help Mixing My EP (Or, How to not sound demo-y)

Yo songfight, Thanks for all your input guys. We just had our EP release show and it went really well. Gave out something like 30 of our EPs but upon listening I've found that I never really figured out the whole "mastering" thing. Don't get me wrong, it sounds pretty decent as is. I'm rea...

Re: Help Mixing My EP (Or, How to not sound demo-y)

'Nother song. Using some of your suggestions, mostly compression on nearly evrything. I think the kick drum comes through a bit more on this one, I'm really happy how its sounding. This ones a bit different cause I used my accoustic-electric instead of my electric and plugged it straight in. Some of...

Re: Help Mixing My EP (Or, How to not sound demo-y)

- More compression. Grokking compression takes a while; read a few tutorials and experiment. - The vocals will sound much more "radio ready" if you a) compress them; b) learn to sing. (b) can make a fair bit of (a) optional. - Whether tracks sound good on their own doesn't matter, so don'...

Re: Help Mixing My EP (Or, How to not sound demo-y)

Cool stuff. The drums were actually recorded with two mics. One under the snare pointed at the kick (to bring more presence in the mix for the two most necessary drums) and then one overhead to capture the cymbals and full set. It comes out okay, just not much punch to the kick (but at least its dis...

Help Mixing My EP (Or, How to not sound demo-y)

Howdy guys, Its been a loooonnnggg time since I was last around here. I used to songfight as an excercise to help me get ideas flowing, but now I'm a senior mechanical engineering student and have little time for that. But I do still find time for music (otherwise I'd go insane), and have formed a b...

I only get involved here sporadically but this just sounds too cool to pass up... I think I'm in.

Also just to clear up... its original songs written based on the titles... not covers, right? (maybe both?)

for some reason i think this thread should be archived or stickied or something... I just spent the last hour reading it and damn its got a lot of info. I suddenly feel inspired to rework that Echo and the Bunnymen cover I've been working on.

With that I'm off. 8)

Sounds pretty good - is the bass line a little weird note-wise in spots? this could be true. Our bassist took three takes and he just kind of goes with the flow of the music. His part is mostly solid but he throws in some made up things occasionally... I was supposed to listen to his take closely a...
