Schmee... Here's the lazy man's version of using your track... I mixed my original guitar part with your schmee'd version of my backing track. You can listen to it here... [url=http://www.staffup.com/One_2_Many_Notes_schmee.mp3]One 2 Many Notes - schmee version[/url] guitplayer

whoa sh*it! that's a bit too schmee for me =) i need to rinse and repeat from your solo so i can cue stuff of it. the tertiary-blind mix creative process doesn't seem to yeild quite the results i was hoping for hehe. lazy indeed =p gimmie a few days, busy on some stuff but definately want to keep this mix up stuff going, it's fun. /in the meantime bump >> [url=http://www.schmee.biz/appropriate/anger-web.mp3]the anger\'s about[/url] (mp3) [img]http://www.schmee.biz/appropriate/lilback-anger.jpg[/img] do you hear the beat - the anger in my voice? from the cumfy seat, of your rolls royce? while it's true, i might sympathize, with your Ego's needed direction - please understand why i despise, the constant misdirection... caused by your double standards, and your hypocritical lanyards, around the necks of all our world - with all your greedy morals unfurled, the whole world is watching and your ass is hanging out... the doors of sanity are locking, that's what the anger's about. that's what all the cries are for, the fucking freaks, the crazy cults, - that's the children banging on the door, caught wondering where are all the adults. still wondering why it's nobody's fault, "nobody's fault but yours", you'll exhalt, and offer up more whores who'll spin, more golden fleece from jet black skin. from Texas tea, for motoring, and the massive toys we put it in, just like back in the patriotic day, when slaying injun's was how we played. when taking on the crazy savages, picking them off, from the hidden passages, of media spin and righteous legalese, making us rich, as easy as you please. and then, we have the audacity, to speak of our tenacity, to speak of heroism and glory, while we cook up yet another story. about their Evil and about our Good, and about how we never really understood, the economics of never-ending growth, and the psychology of seeing them both. seeing the grey and how we must hear, understanding respect, and not causing fear, having one standard, not passing the buck, if it still sounds confusing - try giving a fuck... the anger in my voice is a matter of choice, ideologically sound identification. but it's a matter of poise, this negative noise, anger from fear, over the future of our nation. anger from fear, over the inevitable devastation, wrought from those who would put their Ego, before a sense of respect for any population - for those who think they know, but really do not know... :wave:

schmee... I like that track alot. It's got what I now know are the classic schmee qualities... unusual and sometimes "challenging" choice of sounds, beat, and instruments combined with a message that makes its point intently. The bass/guitar parts in particular were nearly disturbing... but it was compelling nonetheless. Nice. Powerful, political statement... mixed just so it's nearly a struggle to hear... cool. If you didn't print the lyrics, it might be hard to completely follow along... but that's the intent isn't it... ;) guitplayer

Here's another thing from me... [b] [url=http://www.staffup.com/Sine_Language.mp3]Sine Language[/url] [/b] It's a keyboard based groove with a few added touches... Not my normal genre, but I'm having fun playing outside of "my box"... guitplayer

schmee... I don't have a problem with your "appropriating" my tune, plus your schmee-isms for your project... You can be as "political" with it as you want... Let me know if you want a .wav instead of the .mp3 version... :wave: guitplayer

Wow, that's some funky beats there schmee! I love the way your instruments seem to wander, without ever getting lost, very cool feel. You did a gret job on guitplayers one too many notes backing track too, excellent horns and drums, very Sly Stone, which is intended as a big compliment! Anyhow, as crazy as I must be to try and follow your stuff, I'd like to post a link to one of our tunes and see what people think. I posted it on the guitar forum but someone suggested I should put it on here. The band is The Cusp, and this song is called Redemption... [url=http://www.worldofthecusp.com/redemption.mp3]www.worldofthecusp.com/redemption.mp3[/url] If you like what you hear, follow this link for other songs...

hey man, first of all - you're way too kind, but thanks. redemption: i like virtually everything cept the mix, but that sounds like something easily improved - and it's not bad. some nice fun guitar work color up things well, i like the vocals a lot good sound. drums are solid, if somewhat simple, nothing wrong with that. other than being hard to hear through the cymbals and distortion (again, a mix issue sounds liek to my virgin ears) it was a very good tune. post some mooor =)

Hey [b]Schmee[/b] , thanks for listening man! Here's another couple of tunes if you fancy them. The first is from the same recording session as Redemption, which you heard, and the second is from 18 months ago with a better qualified sound man and more advanced recording techniques, I hope you enjoy them, the difference is obvious...

Here's the link [url=http://www.worldofthecusp.com/papawasastrollingbone.mp3]www.worldofthecusp.com/papawasastrollingbone.mp3[/url] Thanks again, T. :thu:

Sal Orlando came down from northern California to visit, here's an excerpt from the jam we did...John Flyscots was in the control room providing inspiration and turning knobs that really shouldn't have been touched. ;) Corey Naughton - Guitar Stephen LeBlanc - Hammond Organ and Rhodes Sal Orlando - Bass Tom LeBlanc - Drums [url=http://www.jamfree.com/miscmusic/jamfree_10-03-03a.mp3]jamfree_10-03-03a.mp3 (6.6MB)[/url]

Yes we track the Hammond in mono because we only have 8 inputs for live tracking. We have the ability to do 10 inputs but have only done it a few times when we had more instruments going. We could definitly get better organ sounds and I will play with the set-up tonight...we could easily have two tracks of organ, I actually prefer to have 3 and may be able to do that. Thanks for checking it out...any other comments on the mix? We do try to get better at this. :)
