Thanks for the comments Jeremy, Yes I never felt the vocalist was the strongest part, but he's really just getting started singing and I think he's got some potential if he keeps working at it. Voices can change a lot over the course of a couple years, certainly. It looks like they're planning on setting up bandcamp/purevolume/facebook pages too... I wonder which service will eventually usurp MySpace? Facebook has come close I think, but it's not quite the ideal band promoting tool from my very limited experience. Maybe others have had more success with it though. -sean On Mon, Aug 2, 2010 at 11:23 AM, Jeremy Jongepier <jeremy@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx> wrote: > On 08/02/2010 05:01 PM, Sean Corbett wrote: >> Hi list, >> >> My friends who I recorded using 100% FLOSS this past winter/spring >> finally 'released' the recording on their MySpace page: >> >> http://www.myspace.com/amplifiersmakenoise >> >> "Formations" is the highlight from a songwriting perspective, in my >> opinion (though we achieved some pretty huge drum sounds on >> "Redemption Song"). >> >> Recorded/mixed/mastered with Jack1, Ardour, SWH, CAPS, TAP, Invada, >> JConvolver, Jamin -- and probably others I'm forgetting -- on an Arch >> Linux box.
