Until i am able to gather that guitar sound info (long, painful wait then) i had to whack another tune out instead. Understandable i suppose. Most guitarists i ever played with were late and behind me in time, at the bar and with their girlfriends
I will wait.
Wrote this after visiting a homeless bloke i know, last week. He lives in the woods. I have to knock on his bark in paradiddle, he then knows it's me (safe) and gives him time to hide his stash of drugs. ...which are, under a foot of leaves (depending on the season and wind strength/direction) at the bass of an oak tree, ten foot in from his stream, on the south eastern (ish) side of his patch. He knows what i do for a living now, but isn't aware of my dodgy past and the expert schooling i had in smelling out a secret sweetie cupboard. It's all in the eyes. Anyway, he doesn't say much, only that folk dislike and abuse him. Sad. Sad back story. So to cheer him up a bit, plus i needed a NEW song, i wrote this for him. Played it to him today. For the first time since we met each other (years ago) he smiled, gave me a tight cwtch, a smacker of a kiss (Colgate next visit my friend) and made me nettle tea. Again, the power of music eh. Even my crap stuff! No apologies for the complicated lyrics. It is all he says. I am sorry though for the giggle at the minute mark. Sid did one of those cute tilted head things as i was singing.
Guitarism, i Fretless bass..... yeah, you knew. In the time I've been writing songs, which was when i first joined you all down here in this soothing hot tub a year odd back, this song gave me the most FUN to play. Real fun. Loved every minute pretending i was Wilko Johnson. Not very well, but i had a ball. The power off apps eh?
Sausage?
Yer mad. Of course
I'd really like to see the animation that would illustrate this. I think you should probably have your own TV show, might have to keep it hid from the children, but still. Great story about your man in the tree, I have often thought about an off-the-grid existence, but it must be very hard once you take any obvious romance out of it...
@JohnnyGoodyear thanks for the comment. Re. The fabfilter stuff. Im just so blown away by the power of them and there so beautiful. I have had q2 and timeless for a year (last sales) and havent used them much but then this year I added Saturn and it seems I now have the critical mass to make me use them! (There is no logic to follow). The big but is that they are so damn complicated (i get blocked) and so now I dont even think about making my own patches I just cycle through the presets. Two of my biggest influences are the heavy echo of dub reggae and the growling/screaming Roland 303 so I had to get an echo and a distortion.
On this tune I had a sparse percussion track I was really only using for timing and didnt think Id leave it in but I passed it through timeless and got a great rhythm. I cant remember what I did with saturn but Im still a novice with it, and have difficulty getting results. Q2 is amazing for balancing the sounds and has made it much easier for me to improve the results on both speakers and headphones.
Man I really dug the un-quantized feel here. The main riff seemed to push and pull and it really helped the tracks funky, lofi soundscape. The hi-hat kept "real" time so it wasn't too loosie goosie, but the overall swampy vibe was really cool. Listened twice and I totally thought "this could be in a video game like Fallout easy".
Very cool.
My wife is a huge fan of two tone ska, we just saw the Specials here in Vegas last month. I have come around to them Madness, a few others but I still don't know a great deal.
I admit I popped when the trumpets started doing the guitar solo lines at the end, but it is like the original "Stairway...", long. I can see that being a good thing on the dance floor & for DJ's to improv over.
Any specs on what you recorded with, etc?
Love the kind of PortaStudio tone to the drums & guitars, and if you ever read any of my posts thats a huge compliment, I love PortaStudios.
I think the Chorus vocals could of benefited from another effect to differentiate from the Verse or a harmony vocal. Because the melody is in small range it can sound samey going all the way through, but what saves it here is the very clever lyrical content.
Almost Talking Heads in it's stream of consciousness type flow but it tells a story. The use of the modern text/online abbreviations like in the title make it seem very current, I can see a young scruff out on these adventures in a video real easily.
Very cool.
I love the chilled almost noir vibe going on here. The breaks between melody lines are especially effective (1:35->) and the delayed effects and swirly pads are so tasty.
Very Cool!
Like it a lot. Can't decide if you're the Grandma Moses of the tripped sound or if it's a very accomplished pastiche....and really, who cares? Good tired grind. I'd like to hear the long version with girls singing or swaying or something in the back, but then I've always been that way.
@Bluepunk you sound like a good friend dude. I will admit I haven't listened to much punk, but I dug the tune. Some great energy. Dug the drumming and the drum sounds. You're a drummer right?
Wow Johnny, you are an esoteric mofo! This Wouldn't of been out if place one bit during the Paul Simon, Randy Newman, etc. reserved singer/songwriter movement in the 70's.
Very conversational but by the end of the two minutes plus the melody stuck in my head.
Well done, really cool.
Thanks Mister. You know that movement never really went away we, er, just got a fair bit older
If this is a cover, brilliant and if it's an original double fucking brilliant! Love the barrelhouse piano, the ES sounding guitar solo and the vocalists phrasing is so good. She's mixed a tad too much in front for me, and to go with the swampy vibe I'd like a bit of verb or subtle tape delay on her that gels it together with the track a lil' better.
But those arethe nitpicks brother. If this was say a songwriting, publishing or label demo it is presented perfectly. Plus the lyrics avoided cliché but still sounded cozy & familiar.
Outstanding.
I get either being ashamed of a lyric or the emotion one is laying bare, and I remember when I first began recording my own stuff and was still learning to sing and really find MY voice I would mix it near inaudible or cover it in EQ & effects like you did here. Let it sit in the mix naturally man.
A really cool engineer I met at the Palms during my Recording program said to put up every track, get levels, then listen to the vocal in stages because the best sound might be there before additional elements are added...so first listen to vocal flat & dry (even if it was planned that Reverb & heavy effects were to be used) then shape it the best possible with EQ & comp, listen again, then add small reverb, then listen, etc. You may get lucky and see that a bit of EQ and comp was all that was needed. I still mix like that to this day.
Good track.
Learned something tonight. Thanks.
Thank you. Still have a few rudiments to crack but I'm getting there. Regarding Punk, all my stuff is just an attempt at stereotypical old style OAP punk. If you want to get in on the new, young, hungry breed, have a listen to the track I posted earlier in this thread. And I've heard Frank Carter and The Rattlesnakes on Radio One recently. Mentioned them here last year. So, if you want some easy cash, put some money on "King Nun" becoming the next Pistols/Nirvana.
I asked "bloke" what he didn't enjoy about (normal? Ha) life and apart from the usual, he replied "No one likes - sausage - me much." Had to be used. Says they give him terrible indigestion. No, that's the comedown from being a tad to ambitious with another breakfast favourite....... Special K. He's in my sights. Will report back in 12 months. Gunna be a long one this.
@orchardman alright sir George martin would be proud.very cool piece here. Has a very vintage vocal sound yet polished more modern. I'd have to say confidence is growing here , you know you got it and your saying get out of my way I'm coming thru to the top. Keep writing guys this is a great example of a producer and a singer just like the piano man right? Good job
@petermcclard I'm a little tripped out by this but I always respect the effort. Let me tell you I dig the second part . at first I felt there was too much going on . it was busy . sometimes less is best I can't stress that enough so don't forget. Put some melody in to that vox
@Richtowns don't starve people of your work. Its not fair to not give others a chance to give you a chance. All that hard work just to shelf it out. I like ping pong delays and sample plays court ordered food on my plate and I'll rewind it again and press play. Interested in it. Some say the less I say ......... Its a bit short . but I like it good job
@marliess hey I like this it cracked me up. I listen to music and close my eyes and try to picture how it was tracked and where and you kept making me laugh. Don't know if you meant it to be funny or not but it just cracked me up
@Igneous1 bumps man shits kicking here in southern California about to rattle my roof off and expose me to rain sounds like a train or millions of chains. Kicking at my chest like a bad punker going backwards at a Melvin's concert that kicked me in the chest . sure did knock the wind out of me , kinda like your song did
@marliess What a beautifully "paced" song, Mister Durdeeburdee (great name). See those chords you play. I could have a really messy affair with them. Send shivers of joy up me. What are they please? They sound similar to the ones Billy Duffy plays in a good few early Cult songs, and they send me into stratospheric bliss. Could google it but prefer face to face tuition so to speak. Will wait till you've packed your camping stove away. Good time?
"Now it's time to burn the candle, push it hard as we can handle." Marvellous line that. Get it. You've done it again. Crowbarred in a million, brilliantly delivered vocal lines/words/phrases that go well with the guitar flicks left. Good n dirty sound right. Both weave in and out of each other in perfect harmony. Haha, the car horn. Adds to the story. Rock solid drums, played for your song and highlight (of course) that pace thing you've got going on.
Those chords though. Now where did I put that Cult album - "Love?" Can I hear "Rain."
Shared a joint with one of the drummers of the Cult, after a gig of theirs. Well, I say share. He'd been an hour without one. Fuck, that one made my lips curl.
@Igneous1 Good to kick off this year in your company. Try to listen and appreciate your stuff when I'm bathing recently. It kinda feels right to do so. Lots of comforting, senses soothing bubbles which soak into the pores and cleanse. Last few months, there's been an internal threat alert that goes off about half way through your track. To warn me that the hot water tap washer is beginning to perish and a tsunami of scolding liquid is about to envelop me. I feel a subtle darkness being born in your music around this time. Love that.
I'm probably wrong (again) but if you do decide to allow us to hear you sing on one of your gems, I'm wondering whether your lyrics may contain threat and challenge. Noticed your drummer being far less busy on this track. I know nothing, much, but for me personally, I prefer your tunes that contain your legendary time sing changes. No matter because I still thoroughly enjoyed this song. Did notice a slight dripage from that tap earlier. Not going to fix it. Let's see how long the washer lasts
@ecamburn Ok. First, what instruments, apps did you use to make this please? There's lots of goodness involved here and have that need to know. There's an effect (I think) at 1.53, on the nose. I can only hear it on that particular stab. It's the little things! Great comment on your Soundcloud page about what lurks beneath the surface. Have a song in progress about the same thing, although nowhere near as thoughtful as yours good sir. This is really good. On repeated listens, your groove and that delicious bass that bellows in and out, hooks into my ears.
Kudos for sample selection and placement. I wasn't aware (until I read other comments) that there are different scales. Bloody hell, still stuck on the "S" chord in whatever scale it's in. Only 7 more to go. Dreading "Z." Getting tinges of the Far East in certain parts and that marries well with the feel of your piece at those times. Please knock some more tunes out while work is quiet. Can then drip feed them in when you are busy. Too good to make an appearance on a twice yearly basis. Just too good.
Well, the basic tune of Stairway to Heaven is from the Internet. It a free Midi file, then downloaded into Audioshare. That Midi file is then loaded into Cubasis. Auria Pro does not handle SMF very well. Cubasis does, & you can change the BPM of the project(AP crashes) I then change, the instruments, as the ones in Cubasis is not very good. For example, a track with Piano in it is Changed with Korg Module(rather than Cubasis instruments). I fact the the more AU Units are released, it will make things a lot easier. So if I need a electric Piano, I'll use the Tines app rather than IAA. The extra sounds to make the remix which I added are as follows: The Horns section is from SampleTank. The Bass is from Alchemy( it has a very wicked low frequency than other apps) Guitar is from OM Guitar. The Drums are from FingerBeat & Drumjam. I then freeze the Midi Tracks after I've applied the FX to each one, to boost the quality to the Cubasis poor quality instruments(& saving as much CPU as possible). Then apply Drum & Bass tracks on top of the Midi tracks. Then Freeze them. Then add Horns(jamming Live) through the song. Then, add FX(live) wth the track. Then Freeze........ Now in AudioBus, open Auria Pro & Cubasis as input. Record into AP & master in AP, so I can use FabFilter & PSP plugins. The Freeze again. Then, add percussions, etc. It's long winded, & takes a long time. If I grabbed the vocals from the original, I'll have my arsed sued probably? Lol. It's the same way I remixed Beethoven's "Allegretto" in Dub. I hope this helps?
Hey @studs1966 I can't get this in my head. Freezing. Right, let's say I've created a MIDI drum track using Cubasis. If I freeze that track (to save CPU etc) can I go back into it afterwards to adjust an effect or beat, or is that track cemented into place never to be touched again. I am too frightened to touch anything I don't know about. So most things on here. Sorry mate. I am thick when it comes to anything technical.
Butting in, but freeze and unfreeze to your heart's content etc.
Many thanks. Appreciate that.
@JohnnyGoodyear Alright Cozy Powell
Got those brushes flicking in time haven't you. They are a dream and perfect for your tune. Absolutely real. Managed to blag myself into the Mottistone Jazz festival (IOW) a few times, to broaden my musical knowledge...No it wasn't for that. Your song would be the perfect soundtrack at about 8.30pm, as the sun disappears behind the hills. Everyone is chilled, had a few real ales and it's time for reflection. Could see this freezing all folk in their tracks. Such thoughtful delivery, and that's only the music side. Your words paint vivid pictures and with that tender, unique style you are becoming an expert in, there will be times ahead where a box of tissues will come in handy.... well now.
Example. When you sing the line "The dogs are all dead." That is sublime, pulchritudinous (word of the day) and leaves me in the land of "how did you do that?" Cool drum outro that feels so right and finishes off the perfect package. Very well written, played, sung and produced. Touched me. Job done.
