Re: Let\'s hear your latest stuff....right here
Man, the level of (song & recording) quality is really going up around here lately!!! I’ll be throwing out some comments on some stuff in particular, when I get more time (hopefully tonight) to sit down and write. Good job guys!
Here are some recent projects of mine. I’d love to hear your feedback! The Campaign – Some final mixes (finally!) from a contemporary worship project that I produced, wrote for, and played on. Slide on Psalm 113 courtesy of Roy “Mudslide” Howell! http://www.jacksonjackson.homestead...._Psalm_113.mp3 http://www.jacksonjackson.homestead....ght_In_You.mp3 http://www.jacksonjackson.homestead....verwhelmed.mp3 Scott MacGill – “Small Comfort” - Nearly finished. A singer/songwriter/keyboardist. Drums by yours truly. http://www.trixiestudios.homestead.c...ll_Comfort.mp3 The Dimes – “Douglas in a Spacesuit” - Final mix. Brit Rock from an American perspective. http://www.thedimes.com/files/mp3/Do..._Spacesuit.mp3 Tracey Jackson – “I Need a Haven” – Rough Mix / Still in Production. A catchy little country pop tune. My scratch vox will be soon replaced by Tracey’s. More slide fun by Roy! http://www.trixiestudios.homestead.c...tch_Vocals.mp3 |
Re: Let\'s hear your latest stuff....right here
Josh,
Great job on the song too, man... this would be an excellent live Christian song too. You're very talented. Good production, mix, and I really like the solo voice. Is that you? I'm very impressed. This song should be covered by a Christian artist if you're not planning to put it out yourself. Really good work... [img]images/icons/cool.gif[/img] thanks for letting me hear it... -Roy |
Re: Let\'s hear your latest stuff....right here
Bi0, great work mate. You obviously had a productive week. Looking forward to hearing Ben's track.
OK, I haven't posted anything for while. So here's something we're working on at the moment. Far from finished, but all advice taken. Don't Tell Me Mark |
Re: Let\'s hear your latest stuff....right here
Bi0... Ben,
Alright... sounds good! The vocals are so much better and the whole thing is much tighter now. I bet you guys had a whole lot of fun putting it together too. You both did a good job on it. Thanks for the listen, you guys. ~Roy |
Re: Let\'s hear your latest stuff....right here
Roy,
Thank you very much. The vocalist is an old band-mate/friend of mine named Todd Lilley. I wrote and recorded the song and had him come over and sing the parts. Luckily he lives in the same building because it was snowing like crazy in Denver! I'm curious how to go about getting a christian artist to listen to the song. I would rather see some songwriting royalties from it than release it myself. Do you have any tips? If you want you can e-mail me via the address on the page I posted. Thanks again. It's nice to hear validation from someone who is so well regarded. |
Re: Let\'s hear your latest stuff....right here
thanks guys.
i hope to get a 2nd mix of the tune going soon. but i highly doubt i will since i am pretty sick of hearing it now [img]images/icons/grin.gif[/img] thanks again. |
Re: Let\'s hear your latest stuff....right here
Bio and Ben that track was outstanding good production nice n' tight, weel done.
Josh like your mix in "Walk the line" great guitar sound. Mark your work is stellar (loved the snare). Cheers all |
Re: Let\'s hear your latest stuff....right here
That's funny Scoob, 'cause I'll putting real drums on it in a couple of weeks [img]images/icons/grin.gif[/img]
They are just one hit samples that Roy gave me. I just used them to create a beat to track with. We hate click tracks, you can't get into the groove. |
Re: Let\'s hear your latest stuff....right here
Hey Scoob. Thanks for the compliment. It was a definately a two man job. Bi0 had written the whole thing, I just worked the production on it. The way the vox hit the song, and the way everything is brought in on this version is the best way we found it to work, we tried NUMEROUS things. Lets just say, we had 3 gigs of audio to choose from, and when we were finished with this mix, it dropped to about 560megs of files, so there was a lot of tracks and ideas that didnt fit, or didnt sound as well. This was definately the best combo of arrangement for the song. But at one time, it had a guitar solo, 6 harmonies, yelled vocals on the chorus, and it was almost going to be 1 to 2 minutes longer. [img]images/icons/wink.gif[/img]
Once again, thanks for the compliments. =-Ben |
Re: Let\'s hear your latest stuff....right here
I actually did like it coz it seemed to be sitting above everything else (drum wise) and was bom (not boom) 2 & 4 every time, sort of like a reference point for everything else. hmmm very snare like without sounding like a snare I would record, I guess that's why I liked it different.
I was going to ask if it was midi or sampled but I didn't want to offend you knowing you are a drummer. Some people think that samples and midi don't sound good. Have a good one. |
Re: Let\'s hear your latest stuff....right here
Great song, Mark. It's got a slow, smooth groove that washes over ya.
I'm afraid I loved the drums, too. |
Re: Let\'s hear your latest stuff....right here
Especially that snare... [img]images/icons/grin.gif[/img] (j/k...I haven't even had a chance to listen yet Mark, but you know I will, probably tonight). Gotta nap awhile...3 hrs. sleep last night.

Re: Let\'s hear your latest stuff....right here
Well Scoob, when I say that I'm a drummer, I use the term VERY loosely. [img]images/icons/grin.gif[/img]
I can play OK when I'm playing regularly, but since we started recording, I've hardly touched them. Right now I couldn't keep a straight beat the save my life! [img]images/icons/wink.gif[/img] (I tried recently and it was embarrasing to say the least) I like the sample sounds, but I prefer the feel of a human drummer. A good mate of mine (who is a very solid player) has recently bought an elictronic kit, so we're going to give that a whirl in the next couple of weeks. I'll be able to record the audio and midi data at the same time. |
Re: Let\'s hear your latest stuff....right here
This is 'Moonbeam Seduction' extended, to give the guitars some room to play...

Re: Let\'s hear your latest stuff....right here
Josh
Walk The Line is EXTRAORDINARY!!!!! I honestly mean it when I say that this is one of the best performed, recorded and mixed tracks I've heard here on the DUC. Excellent job. |
Re: Let\'s hear your latest stuff....right here
Mark,
Thank you very, very, very much! |
Re: Let\'s hear your latest stuff....right here
Mark,
What a great song... Brenda is just so sincere, and carries the song so well. It's a song song, and it feels good to get back to that sometimes. Also, not being prejudiced about the snare, but I think it works very well here. Remind me when we IM, I want to ask how you handle Velocity changes in say, a snare roll, using a sample like that. Also I have Brenda's vocal on FMtonight in the PT session finally today, so I'll be working on it. Just IM me later...... great song as usual. [img]images/icons/wink.gif[/img] ~Roy |
Re: Let\'s hear your latest stuff....right here
maybe it's only me, but Im having a hard time finding some of these songs you guys are listening to, cause it seems as thought ya'll are using real names. Unfortunately, unless your name is in your alias, i don't really know anyone's around here.
I see these great things being posted about mark and josh's songs, but I cant semm to find them [img]images/icons/mad.gif[/img] anyone want to enlighten me? |
Re: Let\'s hear your latest stuff....right here
metaltim,
Josh is jbartunek, Mark is Aussie169, and I am Roy Howell... [img]images/icons/grin.gif[/img] I can see where it would be confusing. I think it's just that once you are familiar with someone, you tend to use their given name when addressing them. That's why I will sometimes simply use both, like say...Aussie/Mark, to keep things clear. I'll try to always do that now... |
Re: Let\'s hear your latest stuff....right here
Josh = jbartunek
|
Re: Let\'s hear your latest stuff....right here
Josh (jbartunek)
I cannot add anything more that hasn't been already said except I echo all the compliments ! Beautiful Song. Mark (Aussie169) I really like this song, it has a special flow to it. The vocals are really outstanding ! Great song and fantastic performance ! Ohhhh to be able to sing, that is why 99.9% of my stuff is instrumental !!! Take Care, Gene |
Re: Let\'s hear your latest stuff....right here
Jackson/BRB... all the songs sound great as usual, especially those fine lead vocals(and drums... [img]images/icons/wink.gif[/img] ) I'm proud to have played on the ones I did. Can't wait to hear Tracey sing 'Haven' too. Be sure and post it when it's ready. Thanks, Roy

Re: Let\'s hear your latest stuff....right here
jbartunek/Josh,
Here is a song from the CD, 'Cover Me', by Brother's Keeper, a Christian pop group out of Ardent Records here in Memphis. I have 2 songs on the CD, and I thought you might find it interesting. 'Blonde and Tan' http://basstardz.dhs.org/roy/mp3/_Ot...0and%20Tan.mp3 |
Re: Let\'s hear your latest stuff....right here
Roy/Roy Howell [img]images/icons/smile.gif[/img]
Very cool song. It sounds great! Did you use the 001 for that track? It has such clarity and depth. Sometimes I find it difficult to achieve really lush depth with the 001. So did you write that song? Did you cut it as well? How did you price the song? I have so many questions. Thanks! Josh/jbartunek |
Re: Let\'s hear your latest stuff....right here
Josh,
The 'Cover Me' CD was done at Ardent on TDM. Ardent maintains the most state of the art equipment, w/ 3 recording studios and a video facility. As a writer, the 001 works well for what I need to get done, and it does the job for the guitar-oriented things I do. I didn't write 'Blonde and Tan'(the first CD single), but it's the best example of Brothers Keeper to me. Here are the two songs written by me and Dana Key(head of A&R at Ardent), just in case you may want to listen... -Roy 'Alive and Well'/ 'Born to Love You' http://basstardz.dhs.org/roy/mp3/_Ot.../BroKeeper_RH/ |
Re: Let\'s hear your latest stuff....right here
Roy -
Thanks for your comments, support, your STELLAR playing, and for "hangin' out". Josh - I'm not seeing "walk the line" anywhere. Did you pull the post? Am I just blind? [img]images/icons/grin.gif[/img] By the way, if it's no trouble could you email me the MP3? I'd really like to hear it, but for some unknown reason I cannot access ANY geocities cites from my studio PC. I don't know what the deal is, I've tried everything. |
Re: Let\'s hear your latest stuff....right here
JJ
It's a hidden track [img]images/icons/wink.gif[/img] At the top of this page you'll find Josh's post about a 'California' Jingle. Head in to get that and you'll find it. It's worth the look. |
Re: Let\'s hear your latest stuff....right here
BTW Jackson, I know I've said this before, but "Small Comfort" is screaming out for some smoooooth tenor sax [img]images/icons/wink.gif[/img]
I love the track. |
Re: Let\'s hear your latest stuff....right here
cool thanks for the name clarifications...
Walk the line definately a cool track. is blonde and tan only supposed to be a 30 second snippet repeated 4 or 5 times??? Tim |
Re: Let\'s hear your latest stuff....right here
No, it should be a full song, Tim. Is that what it's doing when you download it?
|
Re: Let\'s hear your latest stuff....right here
Hey Roy,
I got the whole piece when I downloaded it, so the file on the server is still ok. Nice tune ! Take Care, Gene |
Re: Let\'s hear your latest stuff....right here

It gets to the line that says "i hire a shrink to tell me im ok.. I bought a..." then it starts over at 47 seconds. It plays that part like 5 times. for a total length of 3:58. anyone else have this problem i'd really like to hear the whole song, it sounds great [img]images/icons/smile.gif[/img] Tim |
Re: Let\'s hear your latest stuff....right here
Quote:
When we do find one I'll post the song again or just check Project Ecks periodically for a new cut. Thanks again for listening! X |
Re: Let\'s hear your latest stuff....right here
Tim, I've heard of it happening before...it may have to do with your player's download settings. But, you haven't had problems before, right?
|
Re: Let\'s hear your latest stuff....right here

all my other mp3's that i've played work fine, just not your's and the last 2 i just d/l'd Tim |
Re: Let\'s hear your latest stuff....right here
ok well i think i found the culprit.
I use download accelerator plus, a type of download manager, Well i just downloaded those files again not using this, and voila they work. Weird cause i've used this to d/l files for over a year now, and plenty of mp3's. Might be something to do with the server not liking download managers. (I've heard of that before.) anyway B&T is a COOL song, don't have any suggestions, it sounds great as is [img]images/icons/wink.gif[/img] Tim |
Re: Let\'s hear your latest stuff....right here
Thanks Tim... that does sound like the reason for it. It was probably trying to rush the download too fast, but glad it's working now...

Re: Let\'s hear your latest stuff....right here
biff,
I almost let 'Just like you' slip by without listening... but, what a great song. I very much commend your taste and finesse on this production. It was a pleasant surprise for me. Great work, IMHO, and I would love to hear more when you get a chance. thanks, Roy |
