Okay, that seems more cohesive. Yeah I don't like reverb across the full mix either. I could have reverb on every track, but always in specific doses per part. Really cool piece, thanks for sharing the process. I live in Youngstown, Ohio and there are abandoned steel mills everywhere, definitely see myself getting into some of this stuff.

Thanks!
I used these microphones (which for the price are unbeatable) as well as a standard 1990s minidisc recorder.
http://www.core-sound.com/lcmics/1.phpPlayback on site was a cheap portable cd boombox.
So at what point was the natural room used, and when did you use the binaural mics? It seems like you recorded sounds in the room and used single hits in a tracker/DAW to create this sort of minimalist droning. Did you then go back and record everything using the rooms again? Whole mix or did you bother with separating tracks?

GET PAID
This. Do not take solely percentage-based pay unless it's a pet project, it's guaranteed to be a major success (I'm talking like MineCraft level success) or the developer is a friend of yours and you're willing to do it for some pizza up front. Percent-based perks can be cool though ("in addition to $X, you get X% of sales/kickstarter fund/etc."). Also, nothing is ever free. If people absolutely can't pay you upfront but you really like the project, at least negotiate a trade of some sort. If they're good with video editing, get a music video out of it.
There are exceptions but knowing how to firmly stand on an upfront pay schedule is important. Do stuff for too cheap and you'll undercut, and more importantly DEVALUE, your like-minded fellow musicians/the industry. Everyone has to put their time in, but know when to just say no.

Uh, so this is pretty amazing.
Reminds me of those spatial soundscapes in games like Portal. Very cool, gonna listen to this whole thing (for the music as well as recording process)

welcome to the vans warped tour
I'm talking about specific small venues and specific situations, like them knowingly bringing underaged girls to trailers where they'd come out shooken up and upset, them harassing and assaulting women they're touring with, etc.
warped tour is too big for them to be doing that, its also outside and they rotate bands so fast, they couldn't possibly do much of that. Plus I'm not sure they were even at warped tour.
Yeah I read this whole huge article about various atrocities they've committed. And it was my first time ever hearing of the band, so

My 2 cents.
It's usually way more worth the effort to spend the time writing a better song, rather than doing over the top complicated production techniques for some kind of aesthetic. However if you do spend the time, you might learn a few production related things along the way.
No I totally agree. I've just got the tunes already written and have been sitting on them a while, thinking of maybe some new angle to take them through in the mixing/mastering stage when the time is right.

Re: Anyone ever experiment with natural reverb? (33 replies, posted in General Discussion)
I figured I'd need to do stereo, but would shifting a single mic and then recording a second take per track also do the trick? Seems like it would, even if it's a bit more troublesome.

I tried looking for a similar topic but couldn't find anything around what I'm getting at. I'll look up some failotron. Think I'll experiment with it. Also impulse reverb sounds awesome, I had a friend who told me about the possibility of recording a room's profile like that but I totally forgot about it until now.
Also Victory Road that sounds awesome, looking forward to that.

Topic: Anyone ever experiment with natural reverb? (33 replies, posted in General Discussion)
I'm curious what some natural reverb would do to a chiptune mix. A couple of my bandmates work for the local opera house and I've been on the stage a few times, had the crazy idea of using the room. Set up an amp on stage, a mic far across the hall, and record famitracker/sunvox/whatever track by track to maybe help the mix breath naturally. Is this crazy?
