    Default Escape from Arkham

    Finally, after my last band bit the dust, I have a new one. My bassist stuck it out with me and we found an amazing guitarist who is now aboard our musical ship. We are Escape from Arkham. For now, you can laugh at our page, but in about a week or two we will have music, we already have tunes written, just not recorded.

    Nice to hear that your back in a band! When I was listening to the music, it sounded like a band I know! I scrolled down to the comments and someone said you guys sounded like Red Hot Chille Peppers, I couldn't agree anymore. But still, nice music!!!

    Haha, when our budget grows bigger then we'll get a better recording, but that's not for sometime to come.

    Actually, this weekend I'm using my school clothes money to get a good snare mic.

    My priorities are so straight haha.

    Exactly like the crazy house in Gotham haha. I'm really into comics and always liked the name. We're also writing a comic to go with our back story.



    So far, this is what I have done. It's a lot harder to write and illustrate a comic than you think haha. I decided that since I'm still young, I'm going to have as much fun as possible with the entire music thing, but I'm going to make it sound good haha. We're working on our heavier tunes and of course we love the funk rock so expect that. It's good to be in a band you love.

    As for the quality of the recordings, they're only going to get better. We rushed the last one and recorded everything in four hours. I only used a large diaphragm MXL 90 condenser to record the drums. But next time I'm going with an SM57 on the snare, a friends kick mic, a MXL 91 small diaphragm condenser for the overhead, and the MXL 90 for the rest of the kit. It should sound much, much fuller.

    I don't think Arkham is copyrighted, I mean there is a fictional town named Arkham in the H.P. Lovecraft world and I think there is a band already entitled Arkham.

    Haha thanks. We're working on a new tune, and the drums sound much, much better, and the bass is sounding good so far. The guitar and vocal tracks have yet to be done, but it's a really complex tune, a far departure from our last one.

    The new tune is amazing. The production value is much better, and I'm hoping that it will continue to get better. I was looking at drum mics, and I was wondering...

    What's a good deal on a set of mics?
