Hi.
Here’s some live footage from our last gig at Club Wakuum in Graz, Austria:
Unfortunately the raw audio recording only contained the drum mics, nothing else. Se the audio is from a mobile phone + some LSP EQ as post production:
PS: @finotti this time we played “Choosing the Beaten Track” live for the first time. Our new guitarist is able to play the solos similar to how you played them for the recording. 
Wow. That’s pretty impressive and it does retain some live character. Well done!
Nic work! And indeed, the sound is really good for such set up!
Great! Being a guitarist can be hard… I think that every time I left a band, the new guy was a better player than me. 
ach, the standard small weekend gig. My favourite. (I’ve done hundreds and hundreds of them. Sometimes i pay my whole family monthly bills just by doing sound in small clubs on some weekend days. Sometimes i play guitar with my childhood buddies is our hc/punk band in theese kind of settings.)
Don’t kill the messenger …i’ll just say it, without beating around the bush - If you desire someone to notice the band, you should be rocking harder live. Guitarists(i gather you’re one of them?) and bassist are okay, vocalist is the only one actualy trying/being alive thru music, and the drummer’s completely asleep . Kick out the jams man! .
On second notice…it could only be the drummer…if he’d get that groove swinging and crushing, probably everything else would fall into place. Get him obliviuosly drunk, have a fist fight with him, i don’t know…just wake him up. Life happens only once .
I’m the one on the right side, next to the bassist.
And I don’t really do headbanging and stuff, because if I would do it, I would screw up my actual playing even more. 
The story is: he jumped in as replacement for our band drummer and he had about 3 months to practice our songs we played. Given that, it was quite good, I’d say…
No need to imposter-syndrome yourself. You play really good, dude…
@Ljuba I tend to agree about drummers in general, it’s a funny paradox that a good drummer makes the whole band sound good with the unfortunate opposite effect that if the drummer doesn’t play with ‘good pocket’ it undermines everyone else’s effectiveness.
I didn’t think the drummer was off. But he should leave out the rolls and play in capital letters—which would suit ‘Cold Whispers’ genre.
Something like that.
He plays the right “notes”, timing is mostly okay, it’s just that he’s flat like a midi drum with all hits on velocity level 64. Make accents be what they supposed to be, insert some life into it.
You know, it’s rock n’ roll. Get some Jimi Chamberlin, Chad Smith, Dave Grohl or at least some Ringo Starr going on there (not realy “at least” ) . Hit that kick&snare like you mean it, get your band movin’.
Damn, look at that guy from Arctic Monkeys - it’s scary good. Shouldn’t hard&heavy be more mean than Indie-pop-rock?
Thank you for your kind words! I am still working on my fragile ego.
And it is a good thing that there are many good players out there. Much better than the alternative! 
Don’t let anybody in the world tell you that you are good or bad or anything else. Life is much too short to mess around with such things. Do your things as good as you can, and most important: don’t forget to have fun when making music, lots of!!!
Yea, as i said before…here we go again, friendly call out of the blue, and…
Another weekend small gig soundcheck done - another electrical bill gets paid .
Everybody, hear me out for a second…If you use any DAW and you played in a band before, learn how to do live sound. You’ll be swimming in no time (once you master feedback handling) and the appreciation comes in form of immediate cash payment . And cover bands are (mostly) not exactly demanding, they just like to jam and drink.
)
And then later, everybody’s having a blast, and the sound guy just waits in the corner 'til sunrise in case shit happens
That’s basicaly how it’s like in Banja Luka, Bosnia.
No difference, except this drummer kicks ass, i’m afraid of him .
Sorry i’m not allowing any audio, conveniently for me, my phone sucks .
Nice one slash 
The smartphone recording handled that surprisingly well and your post touch-ups did the trick nicely 
I get the impression that live sound on the day was really good…?
Your singer really stands out. There’s a a confidence and boldness there that lead singers ideally should possess at all times when performing…! What with being the focal point and all most of the time.
It’s an outstanding achievement that 5 musicians managed to fit onto that tiny wee stage in the first place.
Yes. Kudos to the sound engineer. She did a really good job.
Next time I meet her there, I’ll tell her to also double-check whether really the right tracks are record-armed. She recorded everything on a PC running Reaper. However: “Bass”, “Git1”, “Git2”, “Voc1”, “Voc2”, and “Voc3” was eventually just a flat line, most likely because something was rewired into the mixer and she trusted the track labels in Reaper…
A while ago I saw a Czech black metal band (forgot the name) having 6 people on this very stage. Still possible, but 7 would be really crowded then, unless you put some people in the 2nd row, left/right of the drummer…
