Don't give me that experimental vibe shit...tighten it up, son! (-;

At least do an initial scratch guitar track to a click and play the drums to that to get your feel ( or visa versa), then you can delete the scratch track and just play to the drum or guitar track.

The experimental vibe comes through well enough anyway, you're getting it with just the instrumentation.

 

what table and what is that?

 

it's meant to speed up and change tempo

 

if I don't have to pay to listen to it why you asking for money

 

what is the melody?

 

You shouldn't be asking money for it if it's not a finished product. If it's meant to speed up in tempo the parts need to speed up together. Right now it just sounds like a band who's not paying attention to each other. And dope has a point about melody. A song needs to go somewhere to be compelling. unless you're just making an ambient stoner piece.

 

It is an ambient stoner piece... and a rather cliche one at that.

No offence Cat, but I wouldn't have put that out there yet.

 

I'm still waiting on the analysis of my chart Chinacat. As well as any kind of response to the points made in my last few posts.

This digression to promoting your music stinks of deflection.

Sure, but that's irrelevant, because this is apples and oranges. Psychologists are not making a claim that they can understand a person completely based on some metrics. Astrologers are claiming that who we are derives directly from the position of planets and stars during our birth; why then not only are their predictions only right as much as random chance allows, but also, different astrologers rarely agree on what the data means?

 

People love to rain on other people's shit. I'm not asking for any money. That's part of bandcamp. I haven't put up anything in 2 years so let me repeat that I put up a ROUGH mix of a new project that I'm working on (why do I have to constantly repeat myself on this forum?). If it sounds cliché, has no melody, or offbeat, then too bad. I'm proud of the work where it's at so far. I think it sounds good. I know it's not the final piece and I put it up just to show that I am in fact working on something as I haven't put up anything in two years.

Well I guess that I've already been told I'm not a good astrologer so I don't really see the need to evaluate your chart. if I were to give it to my ex-girlfriend she could do a lot better than me. But I don't think an accurate evaluation of your chart would matter for you, Writer.

 

Bullshit. Quoting from the site;

"Charge whatever price for your music you choose, and change it whenever you like. Sell for a fixed price, specify a minimum and let fans pay more if they want (and yes, they do pay more, a whopping 50% of the time), or give your music away in exchange for an email address. You retain complete control over your customer information, just as you damn well should."

You didn't know you were exposing your stuff to musicians, did you...You're just lucky we didn't completely ignore it and shout you down for promoting your music in the middle of an unrelated thread. You got some constructive criticism instead...you're welcome.

 

Just fucking listen, don't pay, and shut up. How about that? I'm not looking for "constructive criticism". I just wanted people to hear it, whether they liked the music or not.

This forum is just ridiculous with every small fucking thing. YOU DON'T EVEN HAVE TO PAY. I haven't bothered to change the price shit yet.

 

I thought it was pretty good, maybe use some compression to limit some of that clipping or fuzzyness and also to make your vocals more present in the mix, but it has some potential.

 

Thank you. I got some clipping in there, I know the beats are a tad off but that's just part of the process. If people want to hear more music that's fully together and tight, then I would recommend checking out my band website which is in my profile.

I posted this because I felt that it matched the theme of the title of the thread.

I probably want to fix the clipping, but it's also sort of meant to be there. I try to approach the quality of the solo music with a sort of Punk edge which includes the overall sound to it. I want it to have a real basement/factory sound.

Sorry I blew up from my last post. I smoked and I feel a lot better. But personally, whenever I play a gig, and we're playing with some shitty band, I just tell them good job or I say nothing. I don't go up to them after the show and go "well, you could have done this, this, and this, but you're getting there".

 

Well live music is different, when it's done its gone, only a memory.

Recordings must be able to withstand the scrutiny of repeated listening.

And if you do happen to release a recording of your band live, it better be damned good because you are going to have to listen to your mistakes over and over again.

like that Led Zepplin movie, song remains the same. lol

 

Page understood keeping in mistakes. Part of my inspiration.

 

see this recording more as a rough cut preview for an album that I'm taking a very slow time working on. Rather than play extended cuts after a song is already known, I'm being experimental and releasing recordings of the process of recording as its happening. It's a form of Alchemy and transmutation.

 

's why Plant stopped performing with him, I suspect. heh.

 

Plant would have not been what he was without Page.

 

Yes unintended mistakes, particularly in playing can sometimes add a dynamic quality. Same can be said to a certain extent with production, however mistakes, especially ones which make a track difficult to listen to should be limited or eliminated.

 

I know this is going way off topic because this is not a music 101 thread... If you want clipping... great, I use it myself, but you don't want digital clipping. Get an old tape machine for that. Digital clipping can actually damage some listener's speakers depending on what they have and how loud their listening level is. I've had it happen on my own gear. Nobody is dissing your music, man. Just trying to help.
