"Hi Axel,
I'd go with a basic but decent quality vocal mic, like a Shure SM58 or equivalent. But instead of distorting the vocals while recording, I'd record clean, setting my levels so I don't go in the red, and shoot for…"
Kicks just got easier to find.

THEE DIRTYBEATS replied to JY CHIE SUR TA TERRASSE's discussion Covers : change the key or not ? in the group Bands & Musicians"Totally agree: play a song in whatever key works best. It's not always what's best for the singer, either.Case in point: When THEE DIRTYBEATS covered The 13th Floor Elevators' "Fire Engine", we did it "B".…"

THEE DIRTYBEATS replied to shmo's discussion let's talk about endings in the group Bands & Musicians"Wow so many cool ways to end a song.

THEE DIRTYBEATS replied to shmo's discussion to master or not in the group Bands & Musicians"Good point about speakers.
It probably makes sense to skew the master mix slightly toward the kind of speakers one's target audience will most likely be using.

THEE DIRTYBEATS replied to shmo's discussion to master or not in the group Bands & Musicians"Great comments! I would add that there is much debate regarding how "hot" one's mastered tracks should be, relative to other people's music, vs preserving the dynamic range of one's own music (i.e. the "loudness…"

- *** THEE DIRTYBEATS DEBUT EP IS NOW A FREE DOWNLOAD -- GRAB IT FROM http://theedirtybeats.bandcamp.com/ !!! ***
THEE DIRTYBEATS (http://www.theedirtybeats.com) specialize in gritty, aggressive maximally fuzzed-out vintage garage rock from the 60s, the sound that inspired early proto-punk pioneers like the MC5 and the Stooges. The tunes they exhume for their sets brim with dark, swaggering, lip-curling attitude.
Thee Dirtybeats draw inspiration from “Tobacco A-Go-Go”, Ken Friedman's fiery three-volume compilation of extinct NC garage rock bands from the 1960s, and from garage bands and fans the world over, who continue to renew rock and roll by taking it back to its most primitive, up-from-the-muck roots.
LINEUP FOR EP:
Jamie McLendon - fuzz guitars, vox
Andras Fekete - trashy guitars, vox
Ken Friedman - drums, archivist, vox on "Wild Man"
Andrew Meadors - bass
CURRENT LINEUP:
Jamie McLendon - fuzz guitars, vox

THE MARSHMALLOW OVERCOAT replied to THE MARSHMALLOW OVERCOAT's discussion what is a good price for a #'d 100-copy 45? in the group Trading Post"Thanks for your thoughts. I don't want to piss off fans by issuing later a 45 they thought was very limited. I really like the 100-copy idea, though. It can BARELY pay for itself, but would be so cool...
