spellchecker Posted March 9, 2004 Report Share Posted March 9, 2004 Yeah, I quite enjoyed it at times. Vocals could have been louder though I could tell you could sing. that's a comment on the mix, not your voice projection. sometimes i thought it would have suited you to have more clean guitar mixed in with the distorted guitar, but then you did that later on anyway. i heard bits of deftones, mudvayne, slipknot and other things less heavy too that i can't really place a name on just now. haven't really heard a band like femora for a while, will be interesting to see what you do next.

I agree with that, but when you could hear them properly, the vocals were ace. You guys were just the right side of too heavy, and really musical and melodic as well. With heavy music, there is a horrible tendancy to start shouting and roaring all the time, but you managed to stay away from that (although your drummers roars were awesome) and make actual 'music'. And to top it all off, you seem like really nice guys as well, which I think is really important. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How do you know the PA wasn't at max and that's the loudest they could get the vocals, in which case it would be a comment on voice projection.

When MMW played straight after the sound guy mooved all the sliders up to the max, it was sore on my ears standing close to the speakers. The femora set was a lot quieter and the guitar ballance wasn't perfect. (Although i dont know if it was supposed to be - and i'm rabbling on about their first gig at moshulu) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(Although i dont know if it was supposed to be - and i'm rabbling on about their first gig at moshulu) Of course it's gonna be sore on your ears if you stand next to the speakers. Anyway it's the gig at Drakes Spellchecker was talking about. I was pointing out that unless he'd seen (and understood) what was happening on the sound-desk, it was only an assumption it was a sound problem. I wasn't making any assumptions myself as to where the perceived problem was. Guitar balance, especially near the stage, will be altered by the guitarists amp levels. You were standing to one side (unless you're 20 ft wide and could stand next to all the speakers simultaneously), so it's natural to assume one guitar would have been louder, the other amp would have been at least twice as far away from you. If he moved ALL the sliders up to max (how you spotted this standing next to the speakers?), you'd be back to square one in the mix, just louder and probably with a fair amount of added feedback. Nice! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kai Posted March 18, 2004 Report Share Posted March 18, 2004 If I didn't know better, Ian, I could have sworn you were a sound engineer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then shouldn't the guitar amps have been turned down if the PA was at max? There were two guitars and one bass. I've never seen a band at drakes where the drums have drowned out the band, yet have often seen guitars overwhelm the mix. At least, that's always what I've heard you moan on about Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
