All the tracks sound really clear, what sort of system did
you use to mic?

Very nice leveling too.

Love it! Awesome rock and roll voice- gnashing rhythm
and smoking lead guitar. Organ? Oh yeah baby!

This song cooks! Excellent performance.

Nice guitar hook. Great voice for this song. Reminds me of
guys like Matthew Sweet and the groups that came out of
the Chicago alt scene. Except majorly updated and more
aggresive.

You blended some different things between the verse and
chorus and it works nicely.

Radio ready. Great production. Solid tune. Did you
mainly use Nuendo2? How does it work with a Mac? Is it
able to rewire GB, or did you use the two apps separately?

Sorry about the delay in answering.

We generally construct the outlines of our songs in GarageBand, and any
ideas we have that we need to preserve for future reference. Bands don't pay
well so we generally only get 1 hour together each week which is a shame, if
we had the time then we could do so much more.

We can import some tracks into Nuendo, I'm not sure of the mechanics
because I only do the GarageBand stuff.

It is possible to get a really decent sound through GarageBand. With v. 1.1
(mine) I had to use a mixing desk to mix down the drums onto one track. It's
fiddly but you need at least 8 mics for a basic kit and a 'dead' sounding room.
We actually found that my friends conservatory was the best place when
people weren't mowing their lawns next door. I guess with v.2 you can plug in
the mics independantly and have greater control, there's also a new bit of kit
just out that should help.
