Much better second half... seems to flipping fly by now!

Def recommend giving this a listen if you've not listened to the last couple... or even if you have!

Cool song Chris. The vocal is the killer part of the song for me. You could stick anything else up like strings or piano or whatever you have but this song is all about the vocals.

Top notch.

Thanks a million Rock!

We're super proud of this one.

At this point, it's all just little tweaks to make sure everything is sitting right and nothing is stealing focus from the vocals.

Thanks again man!

Wooooooot!

Here's a SLIGHTLY newer version (just more properly "mastered")...

The RHCP want their super-compressed guitars back!!!

This is Fling's latest offering. We decided to give it the audience test the other night and someone caught it on video.

It's a work in progress and any suggestions about arrangements etc are most welcome.

Sounds cool!

Maybe add a tease to the beginning. Try having a the mandolin guy play the melody at 1:36, by himself, before the song starts... just a tease... it'll set the table, so to speak...

that's about all I feel comfortable saying... not my genre...

I'm not crazy about Duplo.

But I like the rest of the stuff. You Don't have to go anywhere is good. and huggies.

How do you make those? Are you cutting up samples ?

I cut up some samples of John Faheys - "Requiem for john hurt" for you dont have to go anywhere.Huggies is just myself sampling my guitar through grain delay and other effects.Yeah I am starting to dislike duplo aswell, more I listen to it the more faults i hear.

Again, kudos on the track. Listened to it a few times now. :cool:

trackmixstudio

Did this last week.
Really tightly edited drums (slate samples on kick and snare) and Peavey 6505 at deafening volume into mesa oversize cab. Ended up using just a single 57 into API pre for guitars on this.

Welcome to house Noob hell. I'm still there.

You should do more. But use the techniques you've learned from the other stuff you've done, you'll get much better at both.

One thing about house music; it's not as repetitive as it sounds. You're baseline in the track, if you make subtle changes to it from bar to bar - it will be repetitive without being repetitive. You're drums; you can do a lot more with them. Try putting a clap on 2 and 4 and hi-hats in between on 1.3, 2.3, 3.3, 4.3.

I still have a mountain to climb on my stuff, but I'm getting a better idea of what I'm doing.

My latest Noob piece.

http://soundcloud.com/the-noobian-prince/festival-acid-the-noobian-prince

It's not a proper dance track for many reasons - The arrangement mostly (there isn't one). It's a little over loaded, it's cheesy, and fashionable....for 1998.

MilanPan!c

Here's a link to a new demo.

Rock suggested I post it here, which I didn't really think I should, for a few reasons, but anyway, at his suggestion I will.

http://soundcloud.com/the-riot-tapes/light-insanity

It's a demo (yes!) for a song called Lights.

The vocals and acoustic were recorded on an iPhone and then I added some bass and some other flourishes in my DAW.

Essentially, this is a structural demo that I fleshed out for fun...

The fleshing out mostly occurs during the instrumental break... you'll know it when you hear it.

As you'll notice if you make it to the end, this song was essentially brand new... so we're still working on the structure, but it'll be done soon...

Anyhoo... forgive the crappiness of the whole thing... if anyone has anything to say about it, please do... though, honestly, this would be the one to attack for sound quality...

In other news, I'll have a Boards/TRT related announcement to make tomorrow... and yes, it's pretty wild.

What year is this?

Thanks KRD for having a listen and advising. It is a lot more complicated than it first appears.

Thanks for the suggestions, I'll try them out at some point in the future, 2002 maybe:D

Cheers.

I heard it when you posted it on twitter - yesterdays news.

I really like it. Apart from the FFFups some of the vocals sound much more natural and relaxed than the heavy studio work. Your singer (who I can never remember her name - Eileen? - her delivery sounds much more "soulful" - or realer)

You've been offered a deal from a major Japanese label?

I don't recall that conversation Chris:D

I'm sure I used the word "DON'T" at least ten times:D But maybe that was something else.

Anyway, yes this is an excellent tune. It shows how versatile you guys are. Not just in terms of song type but also in uses of modern technology:D

3 smiley faces in one post, not good.

Best of luck with the operation Chris"tine":D

Milan, I hope at the very least I get a bag carrying gig out of this

Or

I might just have to orientalise the faces of the members of the riot tapes, as may have been requested. You won't feel a thing - a little botox, a little cuprinol - the effects wear off over a few months - or years- 40 - 60 years.

There is nothing in the Riot tapes catalogue equivalent to this Indigo girls track.

Hi folks. We've finally finished off a batch of 10 songs we've been working on for a while. I’ve posted earlier versions of some tracks here before & got some great feedback. These are the final versions. Production wise, we know they’re not perfect, but we wanted to draw a line under these tracks as we’ve a heap more to work on.

http://soundcloud.com/the-brouhaha/sets/project-2010

We’re not a gigging band. I suppose we’d consider ourselves more of a 3 piece song writing team who’ve been muddling our way through home recording for the past couple of years. We’ve have mortgages, kids & day jobs etc. Ideally we’d love to get a publishing deal with an established artist who would record & release our stuff. So, think of these tracks as demos.

Anyway, would appreciate if anybody wants to have a listen. Feel free to comment either here or on Soundcloud. Good, bad or indifferent, any feedback is appreciated.

Thx to Rockshamrover for suggesting Soundcloud for hosting the tracks – great idea.

ogy

Hey guys

bit of shameless shilling/self promotion going on here but i presume its ok in this thread, and seeing as im a semi-regular:)

new single out today from my band Huey and the Hobgoblins
Its called Mood Elevator and you can have a listen here:

If you like it you can download it by texting "music 6141" to 57501 and then downloading it from www.downloadmusic.ie. Texts cost a €1

Hi folks,

I did a reworked version of this. Click on the link above.

Better than the original (but not much:D)

That's a huge improvement on the original... that's a great track & sounds much more professional than the previous version.

The intro is really mellow & the step up at 0:15 is spot on on - not what I was expecting at all.

I the guitar works really well. Now there's lots of variety (both rhythmically & the chords progression) in the music as the track progresses. Dance purists would probably say too much variety... but for me this is a great mix of pop and dance.

For me the piano sound is a tad lifeless - I'd probably pick a patch with that wasn't so flat sounding (just a personal thing). Only other thing I'd call out is that there's probably too much handclapping going on.

I love those snare breaks you have in there (the one with all the reverb @ 2:14 & 2:58).

Nice track overall - a really big improvement. Fair play.

Rockshamrover

Cheers Yoda,

Thanks for the positive feedback. The clap thing has come up a few times as has the piano so I'll have to try again:D

I'm glad you like the snare breaks at the end, I really like these myself and know one else has commented on them.

Rock.

I dunno about trying again – the track sounds great as it is. The piano sound & handclaps are just a personal preference.

We've just posted another track (Wide Eyed bright Boy) on Soundcloud. It wasn't quite finished last week when we posted the other 10. We've 11 tracks up there now (we call them Project 2010)... they started life as us trying to do the "record an album in a month" challenge back in Feb. It took us a bit longer than expected, but we got there in the end.

Would appreciate any feedback from folks.

This is prolly just for Rock, but a few of you may like it..

http://soundcloud.com/the-riot-tapes/the-riot-tapes-lights-live-demo-silly-version

This is a version of that new song called Lights.

I took the, "it sounds like a live bootleg" thing a bit far, but some seem to prefer it...?

The middle eight is a bit better though... More Christmas-y.

Anyway, feel free to ignore it. Though feedback is obviously welcome!

And Rock, I hope you saw my comments and suggestions on the new ver. I basically like it a lot, in summary.

@ZV Yoda

I'll check those new tunes a bit later - sounds like they're good!

We’re just starting work on another batch of songs now, so I’ll post those up as we start to getting them together

Been a while since I listened to Pictureland... Hello old friend.

Overall this project has come together quite nicely... has it been mastered at all?

I'd def like to hear it all a bit more compressed... just a touch...

I like "Words"... wish the sorta arpy synth was a bit more dominant in the mix... but I understand why it's not.

drums sound nice!

oohh.. I like the more upfront vocal sound on Easy... actually very much like that song... the production seems a bit bigger, which I like...

Actually... it's a bit odd... seems like the older tunes (to me) have a more airy vocal sound..?

I think I prefer the more upfront sound... just my two cents.

And hey I like everything about WEBB except the sound of distorted guitar... I think a more raw sound would suite it... but that's just me!!!

Overall a very impressive effort, good job!

Cheers Milan... some of the older songs in there have actually been re-worked/re-recorded quite a bit (inlcuding vox) since I posted them previously... that's prob why they sound so fresh.

Yeah, Easy took a slightly different turn a few weeks back. This version does sound bigger, although personally I'm still fond of an earlier version which had no keyboards & was a bit more grungy.

No - none of it is mastered - this is just the 3 of us trying to get the best sound from our home set ups.

Thanks for the feedback... we're onto the next batch now, so we'll see where it takes us!

Just had a listen to a few songs. Really nice relaxed feel to it. I'm impressed with what I listened too, it sounds like honest music and kudos on the free release. So how did you convince Perry Farrell to sing on Celestial Light

MilanPan!c

Hey man,

As I've repeatedly said, this stuff, and all your stuff really, sounds great! Amazing that it's just you!

I do wonder though why you don't bandcamp it? Only because then I could get CD quality tracks, still for free, and you wouldn't be paying for bandwidth...

Anyway, just a thought...

Plus that way, if you ever wanted to, you could just start charging like 10 cent for the records, and over time save up for new guitar strings

Classy stuff man!

bubble_wrap

not bad man, well done, who done the final mix down/mastered it? one or two of the songs are a little bit muffled, some of the instruments coming through are not very clear, other than that good stuff:)
