A bit later, still a computer and me:

UK band, poor quality (4-track tape-deck), folk song, arrangement mostly mine, whiny top harmony line and bass also mine:

Hungarian band, result of an afternoon's stoned improv, single mike onto a reel-to-reel, I'm on bass:

Advertising jingle for a bunch of vitamins. First I sold, recently. I play and sing everything except the fingerpicked guitar:

And then in that blogpost there is also a mock-up of an advertising jingle.

It's for a laxative. The client didn't like it. For more, see the post.
Not my cup of tea, but not bad.
Probably the one I liked best was the stoned improv thing. I zoned out to it a couple of times, but, if I had to take my pick it would be that. The first too showcase your ability but are a little too jazzy for my liking.

I hated the second one, the first one seemed pretty good for what it is (not my thing at all) but the UK band stuff is pretty good for its genre and production values, and I really liked the stoned improv thing. The jingle was pretty cute, too.
My latest jingle effort. Was accepted except for the vocals (which I would not call the final version, either...). But I'm not require to sharpen my vocal skills further because they want a female voice. That's going to happen on Thursday. Also, first attempt at travelling with the studio (I mean, laptop and microphone, actually). An ad for a baby-nose-vacuuming thing that is noiseless and unfrightful for bebes, apparently. Seeing as my 2.3-year old now requests the hoover with the nose-cleaning attachment and vacuums her nose all by herself quite competently, I have no problem with this job.

That's the great thing about the internet. Someone, somewhere, someday is going to give a fuck.
So I listend.
It's not bad.
But it not that good.
And by it, I mean all of his music.
It is like listening to someone who trying to remix vidja game music for the first time.
Twid, you give this asshat far too much credit.
Perhaps but i believe that i stated i didnt like it too much either. I was more commenting on his skill as a musician as itself and not necessarily as a composer. But again his tastes are clerly different than mine so i cant really comment on it beyond that.

Well coming from a guy who listens to vidya game music, and remixes there of, he is shabby.
Fair point :)

Fair minded, that. Thanks.
Demo by one of the bands I play in, Dream Ferry. Utterly derivative and simple as a stick. But I like it.

Why are you trying to record inside of a garbage can? :P
Comment is @ the demo u posted last.
Song is actually pretty decent.. But needs better micing.
But I guess that's what makes it a demo? Never made one personally, jumped straight to the pro stuff :P
The tunes I listened to were pretty allright, although skimping a bit on the prodution side, plus I'd mix most tracks
differently. Especially NOW, since I still havent gotten used to my new monitors lol. Last track I mixed was aaaaall bass and nothing else lol.
Man, that song was recorded in a rehearsal room with a single stereo mic.
The rest of them: mostly pure midi on a cheap soundcard or a single mic in a less than ideal room. This last song though, will get amateur studio treatment in a week or so.
Well we've been to the studio. The setup was something like a 70's TV studio, and apart from the multiple kids shouting in Stop, Teacher, we played everything live. I think it should also be noted that the singer, the lead guitarist and the drummer are 11 years old, and I'm sort of helping out (bass). I also got to play evil teacher.

What I meant to say was, we played the songs together, not track by track, with the exception of the extra voices on the chorus of that song. I'm sorry if I failed to convey that meaning.

You think Malaysian teenagers forced into prostitution by sex traffickers have it bad? I'm in COLLEGE, essentially PAYING THE MAN to let me prostitute myself! Intellectually! It's just like human slavery and gang rape.

I hate to defend holist's terminology, but he's right. Live is anytime the music is played as one take by the whole band simultaneously. No audience is needed. Iron Maiden is noted for recording in this fashion from time to time, noting that their strength is as a collective.
The video for Reincarnation of Benjamin Breeg shows them recording the song with this method.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Kq6aLgmj4BM
It's a funny sort of method. It suggests one of two things. You're just starting out recording with a tape deck in the middle of the room or some sort of single input, or you've all been together for a while and are pretty tight, like Iron Maiden.

A third explanation applied in our case: the place we got into is not really a studio with a dead room etc., more like a seventies tv studio setup: drumkit, a lot of padding, a lot of microphones, and a multitrack soundcard in the computer. Plus we were allowed in there as a favour. This way, we recorded three songs in a short day. Track by track, we would have been lucky, I think, to finish one.

Well, no. Just the ones whose command of English is worse than mine.
Here's another thing:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4Pwc8o2-k64
A live track. The band mostly doing hamster impersonations.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y6B2DpGOO6Q
Sooothing.
Thanks. Did you get to the loud bit? :)
Finally, live video! (http://youtu.be/HF2xDNlNlVo) December 28th last year.
On 25 January we rocked the world. (http://youtu.be/ktFTs6pxvyQ)
Rainy Day (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WUbG1CB3ZWc)
So basically at this point you're just using the forum as a self-promotion tool?
No, not really. Or if I am, I'm being pretty counterproductive about it, don't you think?
I stuck a video in here 9 months ago to see if I'd get any reaction, criticism, but I didn't. I occasionally check the forum, and it occurred to me to do it once more, 9 months later. A few days ago, I also responded to your question about gifting.
Nope, it doesn't feel like self-promotion (or band promotion). I do a bit of that, but I try to reach people on the continent, indeed, in the country where we are and play gigs, I mostly use facebook and email for it, it's different.
As to what I'm doing here, I'm not so sure.
I don't know anything about anything, but Rainy Day is a pretty cool song!
Them kids do a great job :fnord:
I like the hesitant, plucky way the song eases into itself.
I think that I caught ref to: Q: Who didn't let the gorilla into the ballet?
A: Just the people who were in charge of that decision.
Sometimes I worry that I am, or will be perceived as, using the forum as a self-promotion tool.
I try my best to just be genuine, but everyone feel free to sound off if I'm on the wrong side of sharing/promoting too much.
Thanks! They wrote it, too. I'm just the bass player they hired later on. :)
Yes, you did catch that reference. The gig happened to be on my birthday, and that happened to be my special one-off birthday T-shirt from my wife. We're massive fans.
Just me on my ownsy.

Oh look, he's come back to do a bit of self-promotion. Because after you've gone out of your way to alienate as many people as possible on a forum, that's exactly where you want to go to post links to your lackluster "music".
Who wants to bet that he just makes the round and dumps his link on a dozen or so forums in a pathetic attempt at boosting his popularity ratings?
He's kind of like a cross between RWHN and AKK, but in bad English.
As I am sure you know, I don't have a popularity rating. :)

Actually, you know what? I take it back. Because I might be an asshole, but I'm not enough of an asshole to make fun of children.
