well the nice thing is we recorded 16 songs, and the goal is to produce a 10 minutes video out of those songs. I can pick and choose which clips I use, and if a song isn't up to par, it will wind up on the cutting room floor.

as for the tuning, yes, I hear it too... the guitar players tuned between each song at my request, but one of them uses such light strings he stretches them when he plays. not much I can do about that....

these guys aren't professional, and this is a weekend garage band trying to get a recording we can sent out to a few places to play... not looking for a recording contract or anything... good thing.. LOL

eventually, the recording will be synced up with a video like this of us playing in different venues. this one was just recorded with the mic on my camera. BTW, I'm the bass player

It's coming along well so far. I look forward to hearing how it develops :)

thanks.. I'll tone down the stereo effect, even though part of me really likes it. (i'll shoot for between 60/40 and 66/33)

we record lead vocals tomorrow, so it's about to get much more interesting.

More stereo and less dynamic range compression* than Steve's remix ...
