Finespun Takes National Radio By Storm!

New York, NY--March 30, 2005--The problem with music industry is that there are not enough bands like Finespun. These four gentlemen exploit every possible opportunity that comes their way. They are beginning to see fruits of their own efforts. Finespun is currently involved with a major commercial radio campaign.

The band is taking a stab at a six-week campaign solely funded on their own dollar. Demonstrating not only faith in their own project but a true understanding of what it takes to develop their careers. The campaign is proving successful as boys are currently being spun nationally. Their radio campaign is reaching stations from East coast to West coast and in between. Finespun will again capitalize on opportunities by touring in support of their radio success. They are regulars at clubs in northeast such as Arlene's Grocery, The Alphabet Lounge, The Downtown and Acme. Along with landing themselves opening spots for Gilby Clarke (formerly of Guns 'N Roses), The London Quireboys, Hookah Brown (Black Crowe’s) and Kings X. While on tour, they have played clubs from New York to Austin and in between. In addition, they have received invitations to both SXSW and 2NMC. Because of this exposure and their continued popularity, Coca-Cola’s New Music Awards (2002) have chosen them as one of top fifty bands in country.

Make Beats - Start With The Mix

Mixing is always one of biggest problems for new engineers, home recordist and protools newbies. Unfortunetly eveybody thinks there is some big dark secret to mixing. Any engineer will tell you their are tricks and techniques, but no secrets. The best way to improve your mix is to improve your recordings. That sounds almost to easy, but it is true. When you first start to record vocals or an instrument with a mic dont just press record. Listen to signal coming in. Look at way microphone is placed. Try changing distance between pop filter and microphone or pattern of microphone. Use your ears! Once you begin to record worst thing you could do is "Set It and forget it" Things are always changing when your record. Some times a vocalist will get tired and levels will drop. Other times a vocalist might get louder and louder with each take as they get more comfortable. You have to be mindful of all these things and more to get good quality recordings. Other things that can also cause problems are Jewlery and chains. That G-Unit spinner is gonna cause havoc on on your vocal tracks. There is no need to be iced out in booth! Make sure hats,arms, hand, legs or anyting else dont hit microphone or stand while recording.
