<font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial">wowie- its like the lead gtr is talkin to me! i like that big live drum sound too.

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

all right all right, ive got one up, it's been a while, and the seasons a changing.. so I wrote a little tune in honor of this..

SUMMER ..
sorry aussies. i know it's winter over there. (right??)

just d/l it and keep it till november comes around.

although the song can relate to anyone entering summertime, this one is specifically about how me and my buds used to just take off and drive to the beach (galveston, TX)
it's close, and it's hot, and it's time to get drunk in the sand and play guitar all night...

anyone else ever enjoyed times like these??
if not, keep the song in heavy rotation in your playlist, and you can get a pretty close feeling to doing all that..

Of course Im a student, so summer is a whole lot different for peeps like me than for those of you who actually have a career.. sorry to get you excited for nothing.. you gotta work all summer [img]images/icons/mad.gif[/img] [img]images/icons/confused.gif[/img]

wooho, i think for next song, i should write about how much i like girls...

badperson, I just listened to "Sidewalk". Nice groove. I can't really comment too much on the mix, as our Internet computer has only dinky little speakers, but it seemed your great vox got a little buried in the mix. I also think a few fills with the snare would really enhance the piece, too. Hope you don't mind my $.02.

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

thanks, keep the feedback coming. Yeah, I'm not sure about the vox. Thanks for describing them as "great", I think that's pretty charitible on your part, though. I'd actually like to work with a real singer, I'm hoping I get a chance to produce an artist in a studio doing a couple of these tunes someday.

Anyway, I used an ntk for the vox. I'll try a new mix and bring them out more.

Do you all compress vox during tracking? I have never been able to not use compression on a vocal (mixing or tracking).

badperson,
Just downloaded the 3 to a folder and will listen a little later... probably tonight because things are about to get busier here. I'm sorry if I've missed any posts of yours...of course it's not intentional when I do. When I'm in a session(which is most of the time), I take short breaks to stay creatively fresh...sometimes I miss posts though. I'm looking forward to hearing your stuff.
thanks, Roy

I wish I could work the little finger volume thingy,
it's a volume pedal.
Last year's ditty (before PT
I pretty sure (it sounds like) Iused my Ibanez '59er Les Paul copy (lawsuit model)
w/gibson reissue pickups.
It might have been my Harmony Strat copy that's been
altered a schosche,Jeff Beck ( not Jr.) in bridge spot
old gibson humbucker in neck (traded acoustic fender guitar for)3 different colored l.e.d.'s as pickup indicators,and a bi-colored one just for fun.

metaltim,

did you play everything yourself? The playing is nice.

What's your vox chain, and I'm assuming your using a pod?

Nice work.

Archtop, nice playing, I like the rawness of the drums.

Here is my latest effort. I hope you will enjoy !

I'm sorry for not responding to some of the music being posted here, but where I work they have stepped up the firewall and mp3.com, iuma.com and most others that stream is now being blocked ! I can't even stream movie trailers !

I have modem at home so it will take a while.

Thank you for listening !

Take Care,
Gene

badperson,

Well, I like all three songs. Nice groove on 'sidewalk'...man, I like your voice ...nice laid back quality to it, and I admire soloists that don't use vibrato. Many 'trained' singers I've worked with use vibrato on every thing, which irks me. The wah guitar on 'better for me' is nice... My favorite song of the 3 is 'Cameback'...very nice, man...cool harmonies.
There are some places where the timing could tighten up(as I'm sure you're aware), but these are really good songs.
Thanks for letting me listen. ~Roy
