iCombs wrote on Thu, 03 April 2008 12:03 This song was a blast to pull up...it's like Helmet meets Prong in a dark alley with a short skirt on (or something like that)...but NOISY! I'll definitely be interested in hearing how these all stack up...I'm guessing this will be a really diverse collection of mixes regardless of trying to copy j.'s mix or not! Did Prong or Helmet have the skirt on?

hard to say...the vocals remind me of Tommy Victor for some reason, though...not totally, but there's something in the delivery that hits me similarly.

Good call on the Tommy Victor-esque vox (specifically the chorus back ups).  I'm really digging this song as well.  I immediately thought of Barkmarket & Helmet.  I'm looking forward to finding out who the band is (at the end of the IMP) so I can check out some more of their stuff.

I'm opting for the 'beat J's mix' route.  Here's my prediction:



BTW - That's my mix in the black trunks.

[j.hall]

the band is Hundred Years War, which happens to be my band, and that happens to be me yelling and screaming and playing one of the guitar parts.

this band's entire goal was to have fun while ripping off helmet, quicksand and unsane.

our 10 song record comes out pretty soon.  this track is on it.

Ouch.

Wow! The IMP is awesome. Seems like I finally found a place where I can sharpen my practically nonexistent mixing skills without doing any harm.

I'm looking forward to participate. See you on monday .

That name sounds mean.

I cried.

[Rob Darling]

nice.  take no prisoners if you are going to stand up on the ramparts and scream like a madman.

brad, it's ok.  heart on your sleeve sensitivity can touch anyone like that.

[imdrecordings]

Thanks J.

This will be my first IMP.


Sound's fun and right up my alley.

Do we have to match your's or can we just have some fun or both?

I've already started.  

edit: Awh... 3 choices.  I'll opt for 1 and 3.  
How could anyone beat your mix? It's your music!

[Iain Graham]

Someday I'm actually going to get to do one of these  

First time I've had a mix to do in ages and it's THIS weekend.  

The next one'll probably be late June/early July right?  

[imdrecordings]

oh sh*T! MOnday!

I've got one day to do this...  I just saw this!

bummer, and I was just getting warmed up.

no worries

One question, I think mr. j.hall needs to decide this.
Are we allowed to upload 2 version, one only mixed and the other one also mastered? Because I noticed while going through submissions from earlier IMPs that some mixes are way too hot (IMO).

[Greg Dixon]

Well this has been fun and a challenge. I went for the match J's mix option. I've often referenced other mixes for style or tones over the years, but never tried to match another mix exactly.

The other two options would have taken less time....

[Antman]

I'm interested in uploading a mix and a master as well. I'm often asked to master as well as mix, so it'd be helpful to get some feedback on that too.
