I thought I brushed up on the different type of swamp music dialect's.

Archtop,
Tic Goo is a very unique and not well known style
and I am so sorry about your cornfusion.

I will post a clip of it later.

Thanks for listening! The vocals were a little loud (at the client's request), but I've since done a mix (not yet posted) with the doubled vox down lower, and I feel the voice "sits" much better in the mix. I agree with you on the MP3 thing as well.

You are correct, dance/techno is not my cup of tea, nor is it my bread and butter in the studio, but it's king of fun to play around with. I had no part in writing the song, that was all Glenda, who also writes country, pop, etc. She came to the studio with a series of sequenced parts in her keyboard including the piano, bassline, and a few blips ans blurps, and had a session singer lay down the vocals. I added most of the loops, the wah gtr part, and fuzz bass melody line in the chorus.

Just let me know if you ever want to collaborate. My schedule has been a little crazy, but I've always had fun cyber tracking with my fellow DUCkies! [img]images/icons/smile.gif[/img]

If you (or anyone else) gets a chance, please give the other tracks a spin.

Thanks!!!

BRB,
Hey,I like Small Comfort. It's got a nice feel
to it. When he sings the words
'as I make my way back home' there is a pause there where I imagined a saxophone coming in from the background making it a little more haunting. Also maybe a muted trumpet could be used. Are you hearing this too?
Then near the end the sax could trail off with a solo.
Just an idea, don't hit me.

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

<font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial">LOL!

A muted trumpet solo is a great idea, and I just so happen to have a great trumpet player at my disposal! Actually you can hear his handywork in the song by The Dimes.

Thanks for the suggestion, I'm really going to try to make that happen!

Leaving The Station MP3 Download Page

Leaving The Station is a piece composed of what was originally 2 1/2 hours of random recorded nonsense. The audio is my sister and I playing around with all kinds of random instruments/noise makers, and was recorded in an old warehouse-turned-storage facility.

The acoustics were so nice that its hard to believe that we recorded through my old iBook's built in mic, directly into Peak!

I went through and pulled samples from the raw audio, cleaned them up as best I could, and then arranged the samples until I liked what I heard.

I originally arranged the the song in Cubase 5.1, but ultimately transferred it into Pro Tools LE and 'finished' it.

Overall, I think it ended up sounding pretty cool. [img]images/icons/smile.gif[/img]

hi guys, sorry I'm late... [img]images/icons/wink.gif[/img]


Swap,
I had no idea The Beatles got back together just to do 'MushatootinnanyNay'!...when did this happen?...hehe... Man, that thing is so refreshing, it was great to hear. What killed me was when they really take off, and the one guy does the dakka-bukka-dakka-bukka thing in the background... [img]images/icons/grin.gif[/img] Those guys are hot! Sign em up!


Inteldoc,
Great job on those acoustic guitars. Great presence and clarity, and it's a beautiful song too...I really like the choruses. As Chris said, the violin is mixed so that it sounds real, so good job there (I bet the harmonica idea would have been cool too, but it works as is). If I were there mixing with you, I would probably suggest a little more compression on the vocal, but still, great job IMOpinion... [img]images/icons/wink.gif[/img]
thanks, Roy


and Sir Jackson!
Well, of course, I'm prejudiced to your own stuff in the first place, having gotten to know and play on some of it. But, it sounds like you did an excellent engineering job for these artist/clients. The one that stands out most to me is 'Small Comfort'. It's got soul and you did a great job on it. 'Oxygen' and 'Please Me' are good and done well, but 'Small Comfort' is to me, the best song. Great job... [img]images/icons/wink.gif[/img]
So, isn't it about time for some new 'BRB songs'?
Thanks for letting me listen, and let me know if you need me on anything.~Roy
