Awesome, @Barney ! Fantastic idea to challenge yourself like that! I have (virtual) drawers full of half-finished compositions and snippets, and when I get back to them after a few months, I can’t remember what I was doing back then…
Nicely layered and ebbing and flowing. I guess I would have liked the e-bass (“our main instrument”) to take on a more prominent role at some point, but that’s probably a whole other dimension. For a day project, it is very cool and hopefully inspires you to do more in that direction
This is fantastic!
What a great goal and learning experience.
This sounds like it needs the guy from Depeche Mode singing over it. His voice came to mind and could imagine him singing.
You’re on your way to becoming the next ‘80s teen idol. You’re gonna need more hair though brother.
That’s a valid point @joergkutter and something I’ll definitely work on. To be honest, it was more a case of teaching myself how to layer pads / sequences of chord progressions on top of one another etc. Learning a bit more about the DAW.
I guess I never shared the “final” product of our group’s first endeavor into the studio. Well, it was a long and winding road with Covid and other obstacles… Suffice it to say, the bass was recorded in Sep 2020 (!) and I would (and could) play my lines a little different now. Oh well…
Good thing is we are slated to go back to the studio for two a bit more challenging tracks in a few weeks - hopefully the whole process will be more streamlined and less painful
Loved this, coming from the lowest level beginner might not mean much but I would jam with you and this sound any time.
Around 1:25ish I had paused and was going to say, hey if you added a bit of xyz in the mix, then thought hold on lets finish first. Around 1:48 or so it was like you read my mind, and yeah this is something I’d be proud to have made if that means anything. Love your sound.
(help guys, any advice how to find the original post I was replying to? I didn’t @ the original poster and not sure if anyone can tell who I was replying to. I think it was something by terb, a mix with them playing all of the instrument parts and the video was the mixing software.)
Yes, this is going to be tricky. It is usually advisable to either @ the person or use the “reply” option directly connected to the entry you want to reply to (instead of the red “reply” button at the end of the thread, which adds a new non-connected entry to the thread).
But, since you mentioned @terb, maybe he knows which entry/video you are referring to
Only mildly embarrassing to admit that it was the very first post in the thread right!? I’ll edit my post with an ampersand so people can follow the continuity in the future. I’m following Josh’s suggested reading list, and have a whooole lot of catch up to do. I’ll prb be hitting some zombie posts or threads resurrecting things from years gone by as I get to know you guys. Hopefully you don’t mind and have some patience with the nuubs.
(More challenging to play, for sure!)
