ode to the clinic

[heatmiser]

Here it is...my ode to the mp3 mixing clinic...

It's all in fun...hey, I can't mix my way out of a box, which coincidentally, is exactly where this sounds like it was recorded .

Just some thoughts I've had, things I've read here and stuff that I imagine people are thinking from time to time...I thought it was kind of funny - hopefully you will as well.

Warning...there is plenty of profanity sprinkled throughout...

Have at it!

Lol for real! Very awesome....and accurate!

Great job.

 

[WhiteStrat]

It's three things:

1) Hilarious

2) Genius

3) Absolutely accurate!

This should be a sticky and the Official Theme Song of the MP3 Mixing Clinic.

Awesome, thanks W.S.!

I did fill out the Official Theme Song entry form but only then realized there is a stipulation that it must be sung in French .

(I'd post the lyrics, by the way)

Cool! Thanks for the good word Rami!...I'm really glad you like it. I thought I was gonna offend a bunch of people, but so far everyone seems to be more or less on board. Whew!

Awesome man.....love it! Dat Bass be phat!

Thanks queepy! I am still learning the ways of the bass...this was my first attempt at distorting it and it kinda changed everything in terms of the arrangement once I heard it...I love playing bass

Ok, by popular demand...uh, actually just one person suggesting it - here are the lyrics such as they are. Perhaps you might like to follow along as you listen...like following the bouncing ball on a Casper cartoon. Read at your own peril !

Ode to the Clinic


Well - I - don’t know my head from my ass
At least I know more than I did in the past
I got a smoke-filled, dust-filled cheap-ass studio
My dope-ass tape mix makes you shake yer booty-o
They say Heatmiser – you are no wiser
Than you were in ’06 when you didn’t have no tricks
I ain’t got no PC – that ain’t the way G
To get a tape mix that’s fat like Rosie O’D.

Everybody talikn’ ‘bout shit that I don’t understand
Triggers, plug-ins – compressors that are multi-band
I try to tell you that your mix blows
But it’s all a show – here, let me show you the door
No, I don’t want to be a bad guy
But you ain’t gonna get a pro mix with tracks that ain’t fly
Too wet, too dry – have a slice of humble pie
Drums too in yer face? How’s about some bass?


Everyone wants to be encouraging, but what do you say
When there’s nothing there but fluff – it’s so discouraging
What’s your compression ratio? Don’t you know
How to squash that shit – did you over limit it?
People ask, what is your listening chain?
You got some nerve – I kept you on the front page
‘Cause I clicked on your Soundclick link and it’s slow to load
Just blew 10 minutes on a load of shit that blows

If you are new here do us all a favor
Make sure that your link works before you say you got the funky flavor
Your mix sucks dick like chicks turning cheap tricks
I’m at loss to understand what you need to fix
Throw the whole thing out – re-track it with an open mind
Don’t just give up just ‘cause the crits you got were unkind
Come back – respond – don’t forget to spread some rep
‘Cause a bunch of people you don’t even know just showed you respect.

I love the sabbath guitar tones.
BIG bass - it is the most fun to play I agree.
The snare sounds liked you mic'ed up True's shed and pumped it through a PA - B.I.G. smack!
Written, played, recorded and posted like a true clinician.

 

[B.SABBATH]

ha!! it's like the Chili Peppers meets Cypress Hill! good shit!! I listened to it a few times already.

 

[bigbubba]

This rocks! It's pretty cool. All the riffs, basslines are pretty cool. Good rapping there dude.

Hilarious!

Thanks so much ray!

Yes, the drums are a bit over the top...but at least I programmed some fills this time ...(I don't know if True would let me track in her shed...that would be cool). I'm really glad you and the other posters so far approve as it was written with all of you in mind.

Awesome! Thanks AT-AT man! Those are kick-ass comparisons as far as I'm concerned...

Thanks bigB!
