"While we're waiting for the next one to arrive!"

THE place for your Sisters-related comments, questions and snippets of Sisters information. For those who do not know, The Sisters of Mercy are a rock'n'roll band. And a pop band. And an industrial groove machine. Or so they say. They make records. Lots of records, apparently. But not in your galaxy. They play concerts. Lots of concerts, actually. But you still cannot see them. So what's it all about, Alfie? This is one of the few tightly-moderated forums on Heartland, so please keep on-topic. All off-topic posts will either be moved or deleted. Chairman Bux is the editor and the editor's decision is final. Danke.

Ok cool! All people that wish to send me FINAL versions of songs, ready to be 'mastered', use YouSendIt preferably and send the linky to 'forgreatergood at telenet dot be'...

Thankee! ;D

On a different sidenote, can anyone recommend me a good audio recording/mixing software? I tried to do the vocals for "Slept" but it doesn't really go well with only Cool Edit at hand.

That's a toughie as it tends to come down to personal perference. FWIW, I use Cakewalk's SONAR.

Your best bet, I think, would be to get some demos of what's out there and see which one you like the most. The principals are all the same, but the work-flow and FX/plug-ins etc vary a lot. The main reason I like SONAR is because I got a 30-day demo, tried it and liked it. It was a bit of a step up from the old (and very, very reliable) Voyetra Digital Orchestrator Plus, the only drawback was the lack of built-in FX, so I used it in conjunction with Cool Edit. I do all the drums and keyboard stuff in Reason (HUGELY versatile).

Hope that helps.
I don't necessarily agree with everything I think.

Hello again!

first of all i have to say i'm so sorry! :oops: my rockband were supposed to start recording our new demo last november or something but we haven't started yet... as i wrote here before a nice little start of recording our demo would be the song "Slept".

so just to inform you i've started a little project on the side of the rockband and the first song to work with is of course "Slept"

just to show you this time my words are more action i will give you a link to a first try of the song. in the end all the instruments might be recorded again, who knows. but i'm finally started to work with this damn song!! :twisted:

it's still instrumental. i have to find a good microphones and stuff first.

so i give you, a work in progress by Lefty Drake & The Mellow Side Winos version of The Sisters of Mercy-song: Slept! tada! :D

FWIW: my preferred DAW's are Nuendo, Cubase SX or 4 and Ableton Live
these all have audio, midi, vst, fx, build in instruments etc... an really great audio-engines...
(especially Live is my main workhorse at the moment, it has realy sweet timestretching capabilities and loads of stuff on offer but i still use Neundo to get all the final mixing stuff done and to mix it down...)

Cool edit is more of a wav-editor type thingy not a true seqeuncer/DAW
for those kind of tasks i use Soundforge and or Wavelab...

Might I recommend some acoustic guitar on your version, FMAMMY?

Oi. I'd love to have a stab at vocals for Crash & Burn or Summer. Any chance of anyone giving me an instrumental mix of one of the two to do a Karaoke Thing over?

Why so, miss E?

I've always been partial to the odd bit of horrid warbling. You remember my 'Tainted Chicken,' no doubt...

Oh, not *that*, dear George (I fully recall "Tainted Chicken", heeheehee! :lol:). I meant, you're *here*! Posting, no less! And *I'm* here, too (posting, even!) after an extended (and largely inexcusable) absence.

Shiver me timbers! ;D :notworthy:

I've been waiting for THIS one to arrive long enough to tackle another song (I just might, now the ARF recording sessions are over). Where the hell are you people? More importantly, where are your songs? This is still a good idea; don't let it die a slow death!

I have no songs to send *yet* (been playing about with Reason, but the suckage is endless, and I have an electric bass, but I can't play it :() - but I *can* sort of sing...

Indeed. :notworthy:

We have far too many Summers and Crash and Burns also - lets see some of the others showing their faces.

Funnily enough we're currently playing around with Come Together but I think that's already been taken.

No harm in having another one, especially as it seems to be one of the least popular of the "new" songs.

I will repeat then:

The files I have for the mo:

Completely finished, mastered an'all:

The Mumbles - Crash and Burn
Syberberg - Crash and Burn
Mish - Snubnose
ARF - Summer

Partial songs that need guest musicians or additional tweaking:

Nonesuch - Slept (only needs vocals, it is a stonking version BTW!)
Brad Salyn - Will I dream (I guess a new vocal version was being made, I can be wrong tho, there's vocals on it already)
Anonymous - Still (rough demo) (Can't remember who did this one :blush:, it also needs vocals)
Tbilisi89 (ormdfmrush) - Summer (needs mastering from my part, song is finished)
