Not sure why I'd want to upload anything here with all the good stuff already here and real musicians, but figured why not... Theyre kind of like going to someones house who is renovating and nothing is ever complete or ready but I get some enjoyment out of working on stuff even if I cant play great or record and mix well lol....

Thanks. Wow, your stuff is awesome! Very humbling for me to listen to it as I have enough problems recording and mixing three tracks together, or a single keyboard track.

I think your music sounds great. The mix could use some tweaking... but the playing is spot on.  |

I think your music sounds great. The mix could use some tweaking... but the playing is spot on. Thanks. I really know nothing about recording in general and processing sound. I used Goldwave and Audacity and tried to get it sounding at least listenable but in all honesty have no idea of what I'm actually doing or what levels should be used etc. I should try to find the patience to actually learn about home recording... |

Heavens On Fire lyrics thrown in were a great touch lol.... I'd love to be able to put something like that together while just goofing around with a nice beer buzz. ;D |

I'll listen to it tomorrow. If I could get something remotely listenable out of the horribly primitive method of improvised ghetto recording we used I'm sure you could do alright. ;D I'm pretty ghetto here myself, and my knowledge is even more third world. ;D |

Thanks everyone, it really does mean a lot knowing that it doesnt completely suck! Musically I'm even a private guy with what I listen to, and its tenfold with what I try to write. |

Just some repetitive shit... Ratt Ass rules! Great message, and it also makes me laugh because because it reminds me of "Cookie Puss" from Howard Stern... |

Something I may try here is doing a work in progress like Wolfie did with his dragon picture a while back. As I said before, I'm just an amateur compared to you better musicians here, but I've always loved this section of the forum and its been awhile since anything has been posted so I might as well get the ball rolling. I'm going to try to lay down a song here that I came up with 10 years ago in my truck on an acoustic but never really finished. As usual I dont sing, so it will kind of be boring with just basic tracks. I may get adventurous and even try to put a guitar solo in. I'm not very good at lead but may be able to splice something basic together in multiple takes LOL. I'll definitely need all the help I can get though with recording and mixing advice. I'll be using Goldwave, and Audacity. I said I was going to do a youtube video of me playing Take Me for Austin awhile back, but never got around to it, so I figured maybe this will make it up to him. |

The mix definitely sounds like ass here (and maybe the music will too to some of you). I still have to create a drum track on Hydrogen (wish I had my own kit here!!!!), and I've now got to make up some bass lines. I also wish I knew how to add some background keys and make it sound good, but I have enough trouble mixing simple instruments. If anyone has mixing advice I'd love to hear it and try to get a grip on basic home recording. If I can do that, I will then re-record the whole thing and mix full length with the other parts. soundcloud.com/tookie38-1/mix1basic |

Not sure if anyone is reading these or not, but I finally got pissed and said fuck it with the other song as it needs work but I posted a different song (although its just a one guitar track). Probably not anyone here's cup of tea, but its here if anyone wants to listen... soundcloud.com/tookie38-1 |

This is getting annoying, but at least I'm learning some stuff in Audacity. Guess I kinda finished what I was trying to do... soundcloud.com/tookie38-1/926-1 |

Wow, thanks Dan! I know I'm not the most proficient guitar player (and used a lot of chorus and delay effects to mask my playing lol) but I'm at least one person found it listenable. I kinda wish I could sing as there are lyrics, but maybe its better as is. |

Thanks Wolfie. I think there is a reason I can listen to AM radio or MP3s and not care as much. I obviously dont have the gift of a sharp ear, and I guess thats the reason they pay guys like Bob Rock the big bugs to mix and produce...
