Roy - Nice. It's like Yes jamming with Jeff Beck. Is that a Strat I hear? Sounds like a really shiny one. ;-)

BillytheKid - Nice sound on the hip-hop. Vocals sound really smoove. Good mix.

NoviceDollars - Cool mix on the hip-hop stuff. On your acoustic song, the lead vocal sounds good, but the background vocals are a little pitchy. I used to have that problem a lot. Have you tried doubling the background vocals?

Tomy - Big production there, bro. Reminds me of Talk Talk, with really cool percussion ideas going on. Good vocal effect too.

DB - Maxin' out the sequencer. A fine tribute to MIDI.

Lotsa good stuff, everybody.

Thanks ssurfr/Greg...how've you been? I hope you guys had a great holiday season, and I want us to finally work together soon, OK? I will email you soon, too... [img]images/icons/wink.gif[/img]

Aussie169,
I am seriously gonna take you up on working together. The 'Wicked' thing above was just an experimental piece, using nothing but free samples I've found... I was just playing on the side, and wouldn't consider it as anything else really, BUT I have a couple of 'song' songs(needing vocals) that I would love to collaborate on, and I will follow up with you on that ASAP. As I've said, I really admire the vocal work you achieve, and may be able to place whatever we come up with. Please email me when you can (address above) so I'll have yours again too (lost it while switching OS's I think). Thanks [img]images/icons/wink.gif[/img] ~Roy

bi0force1,Gene Backlin - Thanks much for listening.

DDP - thanks for the percussion suggestion. I'm gonna try it with a djembe.

soundsurfr - what's 'pitchy' mean? [img]images/icons/smile.gif[/img]

Man, those high notes are NOT my forte. (high by my standards) The vocals came out sort of labored, and I liked the effect. Generally, when my singer-songwriter hat is on, i don't like to fuss too much. Raw is better for my tastes. You can try , but you can't polish this voice or the face it bellows from! Anyhow, I have to pan the harmonies a bit too, everything's dead center at the moment.

OK guys so i've got some catching up to do now. i've made my DUC artists subfolder in My music. Here goes...

The page and link shoud work. I just tried it from my work computer and downloaded straight away. Right click on the words "All Alone" and then "Save Target As" and you should get it.

<font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial">Sorry, it's producer lingo for *slightly out of tune* - just enough to make a really anal producer scrunch his eyebrows and ask for another take. I realize the high notes are at the top of your range. The technique I was suggesting - doubling - involves recording a second part, identical to the first, trying to nail all the inflections and syllables exactly. For a singer who's just slightly and only sporadically out of tune, ut tends to smooth out the pitch issues pretty well. I usually pan the the two takes pretty hard left and right.

Roy - Had a great holiday, thanks, and I hope you did the same. Been really busy on the TV music stuff - still crankin', lotsa work. Worked on my first prime time network television special which aired last week - very exciting.

By the way, I've done a little more work on that song I wanted to collaborate with you on. I'm going to also ask Paul Curtiz if he wants to sing it (Paul - you out there?) - I think his stuff is great. Talk to you via e-mail this week.

By the way - have you folks seen this?:

Beware, the future is upon us.

Re: Let\'s hear your latest stuff....right here
 

Hey all, first time in quite a while I've been able to stop in for any length of time and check out this thread...quite a great wealth of new stuff posted here in the interim! I just checked out the synth-oriented tracks from da Basstard and Tomy...nice work! "Beautiful Day" really envelops you.

I've also updated my site with an initial mix posted for a recently-completed song, "Reality 101." This will likely be the last update until the CD is actually finished. Stop by if you get the chance, and keep up the great work everybody...there are a lot of new MP3s I still need to listen to on here! [img]images/icons/smile.gif[/img]

Hey guys,
I know that I don't ever have anything to post because I just don't have the stuff to do much recording. So I thought I would take the opportunity that badperson gave us to use his recording and just do your own mix. I thought I would post it here as well. I hope you guys enjoy.

Re: Let\'s hear your latest stuff....right here
 

yea, the rythm guitar is definatly a james bond sound (my older brother said the same thing when he heard it) but the strings part sounds egyptian. the rest of the song sounds like robbie the robot on crack "DANGER,DANGER WILL ROBINSON!!!! = for the last lie i'll fix you...."

Re: Let\'s hear your latest stuff....right here
 

OK hears my new one. Its called "above the clouds."
All guitars are my j station. Probably needs a remix through real monitors.
