    Hi all,
    We are offering the chance for a couple of bands to record an ep in a well known studio in dublin city center! We are looking for bands with 6 songs to record. One requirement is that the band has a vocalist and drummer(no electric drums kits please). This is a great opportunity to get quite a bit of free time in well equipped studio. If your interested and want more details send a PM or drop an email to free.ep1@gmail.com. Please send on some recordings, contact details and a list of your equipment even down to what plectrum ye use by wens the 13th. Cheers..

    Kinda curious as to why you're opposed to an e-kit?

    yup, ive heard the students need to find their own bands this year and the real kit rule would fit in with fetac requirments.

    good opportunity for a band to gain studio experience and some good mixes do actually come out the far end.

    In that case, be sure to gog the **** out of your tracked kit :)

    My mate did that course and I'm fairly sure a bunch of the guys on the course got high and cut a rough version of Purple Haze :confused: Is this an effort to demonstrate the challenges in working with an unknown band? If so it's a good idea methinks.

    part of the course for fetac is to produce a song for a hand up. pulse themselves made it six songs. its spaced out over the year (maybe 10 recording sessions) but there's also a lot of preproduction involved aswell.

    the guys that did purple haze were probably doing another part of the course which requires you to recreate a well known track.

    as for gogging the kit, well it just depends on what kit the band had. the band i worked with had a stunning kit that sounded great on its own merit so i did a little reinforcement just to keep the power behind it but nothing was "replaced" so to speak.

    Is this something like getting your haircut by a student hairdresser?

    Hey - a free trip to a recording studio is nothing to sneer at.
