JStern Joined: Mar 15, 2012 Posts: 105 San Antonio, Texas	Posted on Mar 18 2012 04:38 PM Hey there ladies and gents, check out the new demo I posted in the downloads section, called "A Fistful of Sand Dollars." Recorded with my Jazzmaster straight into GarageBand through a USB rig. Working on getting my drum kit miked up so that the rhythm section sounds less like Time-Warner cable on hold music... Any feedback on the tune would be much appreciated. Thanks, Jordan Stern San Antonio, TX — The Techtonics reverb nation page Soundcloud page Top

Love the tone. Did you try it using a delay or echo pedal? Doesn't actually need it but you might like the result. Can increase the sense of mystery or haunting-ness if that would be in the direction you were going. I liked it. Thanks for sharing. — This is Noel. Reverb's at maximum an' I'm givin' 'er all she's got. Top

As far as a suggestion, I'm not sure about the delay/echo, but I definitely think adding some tremolo to the main portion would definitely add a groovy vibe. But as Noel said, the tone's pretty good, considering you only used the patches in Garageband(I'm assuming.) It's sounding good so far though, keep it up! — The Phantomatics on Facebook The Phantomatics on Instagram The Phantomatics on Bandcamp Top

JStern Joined: Mar 15, 2012 Posts: 105 San Antonio, Texas	Posted on Mar 23 2012 11:13 AM Thanks for the feedback! I am currently shopping around for a couple condenser mics to use as overheads on my kit so that I can get some real drum sounds happening. I also considering throwing a mic in front of my Blues Junior to start experimenting with the sounds I can get there, although the Garage Band amp simulators sound decent for what they are. I also am going to probably be buying Logic soon, once I have time to actually really dig into recording. — The Techtonics reverb nation page Soundcloud page Top
