    After a serious drought, during which I found out my wife and I are going to have a baby, I decided I needed to start cranking out songs that my future child might like to listen to when it's time to go to sleep.
    It was also a chance to compare the new Cubasis to the new n-Track Studio. I did the song from scratch using the same instruments in each DAW using as much of that DAWs on board effects and automation as I felt comfortable using.

    Super diverse, hot and spicy mix so far this month, thumbs up to every tune on the list so far! I wish my stuff was half as good.

    @NoiseHorse I must admit that for the first minute or so I was thinking what the hell but by the end I was finding it kind of catchy.

    @trackedout if that's what Wednesday morning sounds like what the hell were you up to Tuesday night? Loved the bass groove especially when it was higher in the mix at about the 1:20 mark.

    My first contribution to the forum, recorded with the marvelous Beathawk

    @RickH welcome to the club man. Nice little groove, sort of Mike Oldfield meets the Human League. I particularly liked the piano theme you had going.

  • @ToMess said:
    Did this beat the other day:

    Used dm2, poison 202, steppolyarp and oriental strings on ipad routed to ableton and added extra drums on ableton

    @ToMess not really my sort of thing but I actually found myself quite enjoying it. It was sort of like the sound track from some mad 80s sci fi movie. Loved the combination of the strings against the synths.

    Hi All, it's been a while. I'm hearing quite a variety here this month. I got a chance to spend a few hours in my studio and sketched this song that's been in my head for a few days. Just a poppy tune with some frothy lyrics. Feel good shit, dig?

    Very nice...reminds me of Eric Stewart & 10cc. Good stuff!

    Running a bit behind this month as I have just got back from some autumn sunshine in the the Costa's. Hopefully catch up with the feed back this weekend if I ever recover from the hangover from hell. Something a bit different from us this month, instead of country tinged pop we have gone for a prog instrumental to make use of all the shiny synth apps I keep buying but never use. Featuring my wife on piano. Back to the singy stuff next month.

    This is very good, cool arrangement, production, performance...we need more of this!

    The trick is never to grow up, which to us male specimen comes rather naturally.

  • Yes I do dig @supadom A wonderful way to welcome in a new day. Happy, positive, full of natural goodness and hope. Even the coco pops were smiling as they got munched. Transported me back to the early 70's with its "Stuck in the middle with you" jaunty vibe.

    Wholesome, hearty pop to singalong to whilst driving a pale blue Vauxhall viva from the city into the warming countryside for a pub lunch. Partner by your side, carefree attitude, skipping to the bar singing "is this love that your looking for." Get tipsy, jump on an open top double decker bus, look into each other's eyes, still singing and then wait for that special moment when, in unison, you both put your fags out on one of those metal pate stubbers & get covered in hot ash! Love!

    Beautifully vocalled with a ton of catchy hooks. Can't help but feel energised and come away feeling at peace with the world after listening to your tune. Shame the peace only lasted 4 minutes (20 in fact, needed a few blasts of joy to top up) and the reminder that it's still out there. :)

  • @NoiseHorse Many congratulations to you and your wife. Lovely idea writing your own personal lullabies. Dads "sounds comforter". Inspired. Good job my missus isn't expecting.....can't imagine young Benedict dropping off to sleep listening to dad screaming "someone's gunna get their head kicked in tonight," ;)

    Your music is a delicious duvet of warmth & comfort, leaves me completely satisfied. Liking your vocal delivery. You can hear how relaxed & confident you are singing. Did I hear some backing vocals with a touch of vocoder attached? Enjoyed the loose feel of the music which compliments your voice perfectly. Charm spreads its wings throughout. Yet another catchy, smile inducing pop song on show this month.

    So much happiness around the Club. Thanks for adding yours. :)

  • Forums kinda slow

  • Wow @Bluepunk I am humbled by your opinion of my stuff. I realize my sloppy/sappy philosophy towards my new mission of writing "musical teddy bears" is not common for this thread. But the Bus has become a home for me over the years, and the opinions here have helped me not go way off track when I could have otherwise. I know happy songs can get boring after a while, but some of us don't do sad or serious as well as others. Point is, I appreciate your support, and I have secretly been a fan of your music for quite a while, yours may be more raucous, but I could hear you had a similar ear to mine. Rock on.

  • @trackedout I feel smug just before I press play on your new track. Already, after only a few months of enjoying your music, I feel like I'm getting a sneak preview of your upcoming album. One which I would buy. I'd also like to watch a vid of you in your recording environment. I remember you recording your vocals, on a bike, traveling around somewhere so how and where you lay down the musical elements.....god only knows ;)

    Here, you've dropped another slab of original and creative twisted beach punk. The drum sig time changes are sublime. Brilliant fills culminating, for me, in the "rock" standard exit fill at 1.52. Every song should include a "duddle - e - dum."

    Did I hear pain between 2.15 - 2.19? Said before, I don't care that I can't make all the words out as I'd rather feel the emotion behind it. Besides, I'd feel cheated when I buy your album if some producer fellow had altered "your way" too much. Cue Sid Viscous in white jacket on stairway. Sorry Frank. I didn't like your remix.

    My entry for the month, and I also need to catch up with everyone eles's stuff.

    Sill living out of a suitcase, so no audio interface or microphone, so I used the internal mic on my phone, via an app called Spire which did a pretty decent job of recording the guitar and voice and sounds much better than using the raw mic input via Audioshare or Auria.

    I bought a beat up 12 string acoustic because I couldn't stand not having a guitar, and the drums and bass were done with Music Memos and then GarageBand, as was the lead guitar. The acoustic guitar was recorded first, before the drums, which is why the tempo and timing are so loose, but it does add a kind of wild feel to the track. Also no Melodyne so the vocals are a bit more raw than usual, in fact the whole track is raw.

    Expand the spoiler if you want the lyrics:

    It's not quite how I thought it'd be
    I'm not quite the man you see
    There's not quite enough to me
    I don't have the pedigree

    I sympathise and I feel your pain
    But I'm not quite ready to take the blame
    And all those times I had to explain
    I'm not quite ready to feel ashamed

    So I'm not quite the saint you are
    I don't take things quite as far
    But we are just who we are
    Born under a falling star

    You're not quite in love with me
    But you don't mind the company
    We're not quite how we should be
    We try, but we disagree

    @richardyot Love the guitar sound. Really do. Right amount of real jangle. Trying to avoid the whole 'actually the rough and ready approach has freed you and the thing sounds so much more vital, sell the Melodyne, take the 12 string beneath the arches and bash away, sell the wife, leave the kids, the troubadour life man! Follow the raw! Pain is good for you, not in general, but specifically, you know, for you. You've been too comfortable for too long and now this period of uncertainty is setting you free' but that's what I'm really thinking. Sort of.

    So, yeah, Iiked it. BUT I do think you need, second chorus on etc., a nice Tracey Thorn type woman in the background singing harmony. Please see what you can sort out about that.

  • @Bluepunk thanks man I appreciate your input a lot. Yeah I tried getting creative on the drum parts and a guitar style that I've never used. Kept it simple theres 4 lines in the song. I like to be rough round the mix. I've been recording for 15 years and went to college and opened 3 studios. Those were my analog days. I'm really new to this digital ios world. Simplicity almost makes me not miss the two inch splicing and tape loops editing madness. Try replacing a fill on a perfect take win only one chance

  • @richardyot I really like this sound of melodies that just start the daydream so easily. Really just gave me a pink Floyd flashback I think it's the guitar on the right. It's recorded great

  • @RickH cool piece nude can picture a black corvette rolling with skyline drapes in the 70s smoking weed and acid

  • @NoiseHorse love the snare sound this is a second review cause I feel different today. Harmonies are awesome and well placed . I see the backups are the star I'd like to hear less autotune cause I just can't start how some use it

  • @orchardman not sure exactly what u mean . Maybe this is the feeling u felt about my track! Confused but not sure why with no question I could ask thank u though

  • @JohnnyGoodyear thanks for that hilarious review, I genuinely laughed out loud.

    @trackedout re: Pink Floyd, the riff is a little too close to "Wish You Here". I had noticed it (after the fact) but hoped to get away with it as its not exactly the same - and it's also played on a 12 string as well, just to compound it. Anyway, I obviously didn't get away with it :)

  • @trackedout "Free as a Bird", very dreamy, especially the double tracked vocal that is sung quietly and slightly detuned - makes the vocal sound really vulnerable. And the single tracked vocal in the verse is almost the perfect imperfect indie vocal, reminds of listening to Daniel Johnson and exactly what I liked about him.

    Anyway, I really like the lo-fi thing you have going on, the looseness etc, it adds a lot of life to the music.

  • @supadom welcome back, it's been a while. It's a great song and well recorded/produced and your vocal sounds excellent. The stuff I've heard of yours in the past has been recorded live, so this is a more polished sound than I remember and it's great stuff. Good melodies and instrumentation and arrangement.

  • @NoiseHorse your singing is bit like mine in that it takes a verse or two to find the right key :) but again I quite like the imperfect vocals, especially in this day and age where everything is machine-pitched to perfection.

    I like the happy vibe of the tune, and the lo-fi feel of the vocals, it's an engaging tune. Keep writing them!

  • @trackedout Wednesday Morning: weird in all the right ways, I love it. The vocal sounds like BRMC on acid, and the whole vibe of the song is great. I think it's really hard to pull off this kind of off-the-wall sound because in many cases it can sound boring or self-indulgent but for me this track sounds great, because of the driving groove and the vocals and the melody. Great job.

  • @orchardman love the soft piano intro and the brushy drums (is that Soft Drummer?). Track is very well structured with the way the instruments come in and drop out. There's definitely a Floyd-esque vibe to the song, and the synths sounds great. The arrangement and evolution is very well crafted and keeps you interested throughout, a lot of instrumentals can be a bit boring to listen to but this one isn't.

    I like this just as much as the singy stuff you've done, it's a great track.

    Thanks Richard. Choices. Barca away or mic?

    BTW you made the right choice in opting for the mic :*

    Haha, yes indeed. Will be forced into a similar choice come April. Chelsea away or a brand new DW Collectors Maple 6 piece kit. The drums are cheaper............ ;)

  • Get the drums. Join a band, you could drum and sing, following in the fine footsteps of Phil Collins and Don Henley, who I'm sure are both musical heroes of yours.

  • @trackedout said:
    @bluepunk a bit dark in the mix maybe back up the reverb a little . Other than that I enjoyed the harmonies a little unexpected. The guitar sounds awesome maybe try pulling drums up a little and you got a winner,

    Thank you. Think I'm going to travel down the "less is more" route. Maybe by concentrating more on the little and not the other way around, I will begin to understand (key word) and appreciate what all these knobs and buttons actually do to sound.
