I'll see if I can find some time to record Friend tomorrow. No promises, but if I get it done, I'll send what I got to you and you can let me know if it's what you need.
Alright, I'm going for some more realistic sounding stuff, nothing cartoon like.
I'm not too worried about lyrics. If you wish to have a lyrically heavy song, don't do it for the sake of it, do it with reason. :3:
To be fair, everything that has posted in terms of demos have been awesome.

I don't understand what this is addressing.

In the other album thread, people were complaining about not enough tracks having lyrical content.
Some nice work there Cheeser, good to see that.
I feel there are a few too many harsher sounds mixed into the softer sounds to create that truly optimistic atmosphere.
For example, that section from 32 to 1.02 that has the louder sound cut in, the section from 1.04 to 1.13 could be developed more and make it overall a smooth first section.
I'm so gonna do this. Just wait 'till my new uke arives, then I'll do [IMG]http://cdn.fpcontent.net/fp/ratings/heart.png[/IMG]

Also, is it alright If I do it in 2 parts?
What is the mustache rating even for?
Beard threads, obviously
Oh shit, almost forgot about the Pinknipple.
Let's do this :v:

I think that we should totally do this. A huge collaboration of smug bastards combining their musical tastes in their own smugness acting as virtuosos, legends, and gods of our time.
I also want in on this, I enjoy my guitar skills :colbert:
We already agreed that we are doing ratings.

It was an awesome idea, maybe next time. :smug:
Gonna spend some time in my recording room today, try and find the right tone and mic placement, and hopefully get some playing recorded.

I have a guitar hero world tour mic :colbert:
Good for LoFi stuff, however, instead of giving it a poor quality effect, it just sounds like an 80's recording room, pretty good stuff.
i'd love to contribute to this but I don't think I have any recording equipment, and even if I did it'd have to just be a solo clarinet piece

One instrument = many styles of music. It's not the instrument that makes the music, it's what goes through it.

Woh... Reset Panda that's amazing. My mind is actually blown, to be honest.

Try normalising it, feels a little "loud" in a few areas. Very melodious, I feel there is a little more repetition than there ought to be but maybe a deeper section towards the end to conclude it better.
I didn't know you were so talanted :v:
[QUOTE=AK'z;28544149]Try normalising it, feels a little "loud" in a few areas. [/QUOTE]
If it feels to loud in certain areas then it needs compression. Normalization won't compress the song at all, it'll only raise or lower the highest peak in the song. This will cause a tiny bit of quality loss because rounding errors are likely to occur, but it isn't anything you'd notice.

This is what I recorded today. No mixing of course. The drums are quite messy and don't work in some places, but I'll fix that later. I've got the acoustic guitar triple tracked with another doing subtle arpeggios. I've recorded the bass directly from my interface and then re-amped it, and right now both of them are playing. I'm doing some experimentation.
Now I'm working on some coming up with a vocal melody. After that I'll probably through in a piano or something. Also I think I may have randomly changed the the rhythm of the second chorus because it doesn't fit with the drums.

Hey guys,
Made this awhile ago using the name AfroMike (I now use the name Ghast). Was just wondering if you think it could match any of the ratings? Also it needs to be normalised I know but havent touched it in awhile: [url]http://soundcloud.com/afromike/garden-of-eden[/url]
[QUOTE=Gibo990;28551124]Was just wondering if you think it could match any of the ratings? [/QUOTE]
It's for you to decide.
Correct me if I'm wrong, but I don't think the point of this is to make a song around the rating, not to find a song you've already made that maybe could sound like it matches a rating.
[QUOTE=Pepin;28551229]I don't think the point of this is to make a song around the rating, not to find a song you've already made that maybe could sound like it match a rating.[/QUOTE]
Contradiction but I see where you're getting at. And it's true.
Yea makes sense cheers Pepin
Did some more recording and some mixing. My next to steps are making the vocals work and added a new part.

After the first chorus note the voices with the phone conversation. If somebody wants to help me out it'd be nice if you could record one of those parts. I'm having a hard time sounding like someone else.
[quote] [B]Phone Conversation[/B]
*Phone ringing*
Friend: Dude you sound so gone... Hold on, let me put you on speaker phone
Poison control: Yes this is poison control... Sir, you're high, just sleep it off
Mom: Are you doing drugs again?! This is why I kicked you out. If you can't handle a small smarking, then what can you handle?
Random Person: Who the heck are you?
411: Four one one, who do you wish to contact?
Me: Myself
411: Uh what
Me: ramble ramble ramble[/quote]
My drummer friend is coming over today(sunday), or I will be going to his place.
So hopefully we will get some stuff down.
