About Bill Ely Band
May 11, 2011
Brand new song up and like most BEB songs they begin as full band recorded live to a alesis hd24 and then other tracks may be added. This tune "When We Were Dating was recorded this way and mixed live through a mackie24/8 board directly to the hard drive, no fake beats, no effects, no compression!!!! Only the board EQ was used, what you get is a very live sounding recording, kinda harsh, but very clean at the same time an in you face kick ass tune!!! www.soundclick.com/billelyband www.billelyband.net
Supporting Independent Music in North Carolina.
Oct 3, 2007
Please support Independent Music in North Carolina and Beyond ! ! ! As a listener I choose to support independent music, I just don't see giving my support and money to "The chosen Few"(top 40) in any given genre, anything controled by the big labels. Independent bands work hard for less, we bleed to please you ! ! ! We put in twice the hours, working all day and playing all night. In the wee hrs of the morning we are in dimly lit studios and basements, working on lots of times, used and second hand equipment. Stacked up all over, put together and wired up in ways the designer would have thought of, and God never intended. I suppose compared to the top 40 or even top 100 we are just bottom feeders in the BIG biz. Be that as it may, WE are here, a lot of bands and groups, making really good music. Now the sound quality may not be the best, and if you get stuck on that note I suggest study some folk music from between 1930 and 1950, STUDY Mr. Lomax. He recorded some of the most important contributions to american music on a single channel, mono recorder. Having said that, I'm sure I speak for all independent artist when I say, we make the best music, and the best sounding music we can with the tools and musicians we have at our dispense. I'm not making any apologies and I want to make that clear. Being in a working band, working on a cd while still playing out and working day jobs, I don't get to see a lot of shows. I do listen to a lot on the net, Man ! ! ! so much great tunes and bands out there ! ! ! I try t o get all my friends and family to check out independent music ! ! !
