New to the forum! And FUNKY! It's all [url=http://www.soundclick.com/bands/2/ultrasoundmusic.htm][b]me, me, me[/b][/url] in the home studio playing everything and singing. Singing loud sometimes, singing bad sometimes. As always, I'm interested in what people think of my crap.

http://www.acidplanet.com/artist.asp?PID=363437&T=6758 A last-minute decision to make a last-minute entry. I love the original. The voice is so ethereal! Fantastic! Anyhow, I recorded this at The Lair @ GreenMan Entertainment over the course of 2 hours on Sunday, March 14th & 4 hours on Monday, March 15th. It was a welcome break from my two current projects ([i]CyberNet Official Roleplaying Soundtrack[/i] & [i]Deterioration Furthers, Songs From & Inspired by The Charnel Gospel[/i]). Enjoy! I'd love to hear some feedback! http://www.acidplanet.com/artist.asp?PID=363437&T=6758 Thanks, Stratos

We're kind of rock'n'roll people mostly but the blues fits the mood this evening... [/b][/quote]I like what you have going here.

Sounds like coffee cans...cool. Like the tune. Not my usual genre, but exceptionally well done! :thu:

"thank you: nice sound, unique ideas, very uncomfortable, but in a way that sounds inteneded and i likt it despite not being kinda thing - because of your other thread about "producers" i did go and check what botch liked, 'winter', and i have to say i didn't like that one as much as thank you, mainly because of length vs diversity. but it still displayed some nice qualities all round - i have the same tendency." I was actually hesitant to put "thank you" up because I knew it was not my best guitar work - it didn't have a good flow that it did in my firstt or 2nd try recording it... it wasnt actually meant to be uncomfortable, heh. I don't know, I don't like much of the music I have up there. But thanks for checking it out.

[songrytr]

Well, here goes...I've been hanging out here a while now and I think I've got my confidence up enough to request some feedback on one of my songs. The song is called "Closer to Never." It's a song about bitterness in a dusty, smoggy Southern California suburb. I've had the honor to work with the locally (in)famous Phil O'Keefe who engineered and produced and played bass, guitars and drums. We were helped out on guitars by our good friend and partner John McGill. From the soon-to-be-released EP on the Lurker imprint. :D [url=http://www.neonflame.com/theralphshow/audio/closer.mp3]Closer To Never[/url] (128k MP3)

[Philip OKeefe]

No, the honor is mine bud. :) Disclaimer: It's a rough mix folks... ;) I still have work to do on it.

[Philip OKeefe]

Oh, and since Songrytr forgot to mention it, I will - he's doing all the vocals keyboards and the tambourine parts. :)

[Phait]

songrytr - I don't really listen to any music like what've you done BUT that was pretty fuckin' good :D I liked it actually... maybe my opinion isn't qualified but I think that's something I'd hear on the radio and signed to a pro label.

[songrytr]

Phait, thank you so much for listening. Your compliments made my day! :D

[i]the battle continues:[/i] this is a legacy from the same hiphop "battle" taking place elsewhere, that "the fray" on the previous page refers to. the poster 387 took a swipe at me so i'm responding in kind, of a saturday afternoon, it's all in good fun... >> [url=http://www.schmee.biz/thenet/387-web.mp3]387[/url] (mp3) [img]http://www.schmee.biz/thenet/lilback-387.jpg[/img] [b]come and knock on our door, we'll be waiting for you, where the hisses are hers, and hers, and his, and three eight seven’s the fool...[/b] negative... nay... nix, no - or non-acceptance - waiting on your lazy ass, to finish up a sentence. you got too many doubts, and too many contradictions, assuming and presuming, spewing wounds of your affliction. you turn distaste for Kerry, into love for Bush's lie, and all i want to know is, is it me or you that's high? you accuse me of rapping, while i reflect upon your case, with your toes and fingers tapping, to my casio bass… so tell me, your holy, mr. masturbatedness, is your sobriety, the cause for lack of finesse? i doubt it, i wrote this, while i was stoned sober, only half way through, but now it's looking like it's over. so, practice flipping burgers, get familiar with the smell, 'cos one day - the teacher's going to say you can't spell. and when you can't feed, what the people can't read, behold, my next prediction, is the friction in your diction. i never tried to rap, i broke it down in time, at least i played my bass, at least it all rhymed. which is more than we can say, about the sorry, sad way, in which you stringed together, all the things you tried to say. it's not your day, today, it's different, to times before, perhaps there is a lesson, 'cos your demonstration's poor. it's lacking, like a loper, like the words of Mr. Roper, and the sad thing is your losing, to the keyboard of a doper. :wave:

I know this isn't 100% perfect, but in the spirt of sharing, I'd like to present my latest project. This is my cover of Paul Johnson's rendition of Dick Dale's "[b]The Wedge[/b]". It's the last one on the list here --> http://jleites.tripod.com/

[Philip OKeefe]

Cowabunga! :D I checked out The Wedge, and you really captured that surf tone Jeff - love the 'verb. Nice right hand work - that's a pretty fast right hand part, but you're doing a good job on it. Very authentic vibe. Nicely done!

[Barandine Vondenger]

WHOA DUDE! hey JEFFRO! way cool tune daddio! I liked your last one too. after i heard it I found BEACHSAND in my shoes?! ain't that wild! hey hey me and my budd smoke up a couple of K.YARIS doing an INSTRO tune or two.APACHE for one. we take turns playing the lead lines. folkes freak out a little bit when we got it going on well. ahahaha! vit's tough sometimes to find that groove yet when we're ON we fokkin' wail mano!. You got a pic with KING DICK. you fokkin' DICK HEAD. hey, to me, the tune suffers a bit from that second main part . it sounds too jumpy and fluttery for this listener. I say just go with the best one instead of two and DOUBLE it or even triple it. thanks jeffro for a way cool tune. you wail dude! .

[flyscots]

Songrytr & Phil Sorry it took me a while to get to this, I'm not on here as much as I used to be. Very good job. There isn't really anything wrong with it as far as I can tell. Maybe bring the organ up a little bit, but not too much. The song isn't really my kind of thing but I appreciate good work when I hear it and this is good work, well done. John

[no_talent_Bum]

I finally almost have this song sounding the way I want it to. Except for the weak vocals. But I like the guitars now. http://www.funkmusician.com/HELLnEcstasy.mp3

[Tim Mayock]

songrytr, Closer to Never Very nice stuff. great drum sounds.I caught an Imperial Bedroom nod at the end of the song.

[alcohol_]

no talent bum. Great sound how did you get it so loud? ------------- My humble submission. Pointers please, anyone. [url=http://music.multifarity.com/nottheone.mp3]Not the One[/url]

me first "commissioned" work: a comic book team asked me to make a theme-song-kinda-thingie for their animated version of their comic: thoth boy. >> [url=http://www.schmee.biz/thenet/thoth-web.mp3]thoth[/url] (mp3) [img]http://www.schmee.biz/thenet/lilback-thoth.jpg[/img] just a first stab, might go with something completely different, but would love to hear any thoughts as usual. :wave:

By necessity, composing has become a mental exercise, hence I pretty much completely softsynth driven anymore. A few things of lately.

Some classic oldies here from my cover band 'Jack The Dog'. [url=http://www.nowhereradio.com/artists/album.php?aid=3041&alid=-1]CLICK[/url] [b]MMS[/b] is 'Make Me Smile' by Chicago. This track isn't finished yet. We still have BG vox and percussion to add. [b]NT[/b] is 'No Time' by The Guess Who. [b]GEL[/b] is 'Green Eyed Lady' by Sugarloaf. Enjoy. (I hope) :D Oh yeah. I did these on Digital Performer. :)

[kylen]

We did this one while we were living in Kansas City a while back. It's a home recording of 'Things We Said Today' by the Beatles. It's rather nasty as I was in a noisey mood that day. Also I lost part of the drums when my 8-track went out of alignment - haha real homebrew! I'm playing machines & guitars, Rose is singing and I asked her something about her Dad right before I hit record so it's all pretty loose ! It ain't nothin but a party, hehe !

Boy this thread is CRAZY! I will listen to you guyzez recent stuff i promise! Here is a new ***SUPERVIBE*** Masterpeice(rough mix). Remember the saying "If you're down and out, Don't be blue, crank it up and let Supervibe bring it to YOU!" Yeah baby. :D

[halljams]

[url=http://www.seaweedmusic.com/picsfornet/ruckyboyrough.mp3]Of course you\'ll need the link[/url] :freak:

[WFTurner]

Halljams nice interesting piece with lots of interesting themes, nice modulations with nice twists and paths when you make one. I've listened to this 5 times today and each time I like it more. Mix wise the only thing I would prefer is a little bit rounder bass tone... that's a pure personal taste on my part. Nice tune. You have a nice collection of soundscapes going on. Bet they sounds good in those new Adams. :cool:

[WFTurner]

kylen.... got a chance to listen to ST James Imfirmary. Nice blues mix. Love the tone and the playing.... ie the taste in what the guitarist chose to play... you?... The overall tone of the mix was sweet to my ears. The only suggest I have is EQ some softness in the vocal... just a bit... don't lose the clarity... just roll of some himids maybe to get her to sit just a tad back in the mix. Great recording. Once again I'm amazed at the good stuff that can be found by checkin folks out in these forums. Your other tune just finished DLing but it's to late here to give it a good listen.

[WFTurner]

Kahn sounds like nice covers. Only listened to the Chicago thing at a low volume, it's late. Sounds good in quiet mode so I bet the cook cranked a bit. Can't wait to give them a cranked listen in the morning.

We have been tracking this tune forever and setting volumes as we go and that is where it stands right now, we have yet to seriously visit mixing it. That version you heard had some quick mastering on it, we used a tape saturation emulator and when it went through the mp3 process it got REAL weird in the top end. Anyway, there is a more tame version on there now but it has some problems in the midrange :eek: . Oh well, you got the idea. :D I have downoaded a bunch of stuff from hear(get it) and am on my way to check it out now. Back with ruthless critiques and comments soon. ;)

[halljams]

Here is my take on some postings here: Alcohol- Good band and a cool tune, nicely arranged. Minor things i noticed are i found the bass a bit too loud and the second clean guitar in the last breakdown souned out of place, the first sound there was cool. Khan- mms wow, great band. nice drum sounds Very clean mix vox a tad low for my liking out of phase strat sounded too dry(direct) I want to play with that drummer! NT This is great stuff Khan. I like the clicky bass and kik! Verb sounded a bit fake on all vox, maby some more pre delay would help too?? Same complaint on the clean out of phase strat sound otherwise great guitar sounds! kylen- St james. I love you guyz version of this, real cool. The band sound reminds me of Natalie Merchant's Motherland album. Have you got that one, you should get that one, it's AWESOME. This is a great mix man, good job. Things we said- Well there are some things about this that make it sound a bit unfinished. The vox gets a bit harsh at times, like when she is doubling especially. the bass seems to kinda come an go a bit, a bit too round for me too. The guitar volumes at the top and sometimes when the acoustic come in are a bit overbearing. And i can't figure out if you are trying hide the drum machine or not but it sounds like it. Good guitar sounds though and nice ideas too. No talent bum- Hellnecstacy Wow that's loud. Great tune, great performance. I don't know how much your loudness thing has messed up your mix but i'd like to hear an "unmastered version". On this version the lows are inconsistent and pumpy(in a slow way) and the vox is just in another world from the rest of the mix tonally, and perhaps because the loudness maxing brought up the ambience too much, it doesn't seem to be in a space that relates. The guitar solo is buried, the drums sound kinda scooped and overbearing. I suspect this was a really good mix before all this maximizing. Please take that shit off and let people hear your music, it is very good. Songryter- Great stuff. I dig this tune and the singer. My only complaint is the lead vox sound a bit dwarfed and midrangy possibly due to the huge bass. In fact i think if you just dropped the bass volume a bit it would help the mix alot. there is an overall midrange 1-4k boost to the mix that i think is a bit much too. Will- Surfin is cool. nice ideas. very punchy mix too and quite hifi at that. I have a suggestion for some of those midi sounds, especially the brass... run that shit through some grit! A tube preamp, a distortion pedal, or go get Voxengo's Warmifier, i think that plug would do wonders for your mixes. Nice stuff The Fading I love the way in your tunes, the'll be going along and you'll play these bizarre little chromatic ideas, i just crap myself, love it! It adds such character. good mix, bass is good on both tunes. Nice tunes Will.
