    Rawk

    Just out of the oven-a hard rockin tune with lots of distortion. Kind of a cross between Rush and Stone Temple Pilots i'm thinkin. No vocals until someone beats down the door insisting on doing some. Recorded using a RME fireface 800 into pro tools 9, drums were tapped out on an akai pad. Let me...

    Seven Teas

    Came up with this bit-o-cheese playing around with a fender rhodes patch. Recorded the key part then had a drummer friend come over and we jammed out the rest. Not my usual style at all but I kinda like the way it turned out. Needs vocals but I added some guitar melodies to break it up. My being...

    Day Off

    So with no great ideas I went back in time again to record this. Originally recorded on my tascam 4 track 25 yrs ago (it sounded better too). Anyways, i made a video of the first guitar track being layed down, afterwards added 2 more guitars and a kaosillator to provide a beat and bass. Quick...

    New

    New thing I've been working on. It's really a bed for vocals but it will have to do as an instrumental for now. Just did the drums an hour ago so they might be a little hot in the mix. Let me know what you think about the mix, tones, arrangement etc. Thank you for listening! Recorded using an...

    counting cliches

    Here's a thing i've been re-recording over the past week. Not sure what to make of it, maybe a bed for vocals though i can't imagine any kind of melody over it and not really exciting enough to be an instrumental. The mix has been a pain cause the tune is so short that I wind up hearing the song...

    Old

    Just to record something I went waay back and re-did this thing. Recorded first in '86 or so on a 4 track which accounts for the dated-ness of the material. Still a little stale sounding and rough around the edges but pretty listenable I think. I imagine it could use vocals but is bearable as...

    Smashing Pumpkin wanna be

    Yeah so the title says it, I came up with this riff many years ago and let it rot because of the obvious influence. I wanted to record something with distorted guitars so I resurrected it. Not sure of the mix-it doesn't sound BIG, and it should. Maybe my guitar tones aren't too good?? No vocal...

    Hail the Mellotron

    Fresh out of the oven, this is a wierd little tune featuring the "sampletron". I really love the retro sounds of this thing. The tune should have vocals eventually, for now it's an instrumental. I was falling asleep trying to get a mix so let me know what needs polishing. Song is called...

    24 hours

    So when i'm stagnating i'll just open pro tools, play with drum loops or key patches and force myself to write a tune and record it in a day. This took two after replacing drum patterns with a played part. It's not perfect or mixed particularly well and I guess the arrangement is kinda hokey and...

    Cover: The Church "Reptile"

    So I'm making a cover album with friends and co-workers doing the singing. Just finished this mix and was hoping for some fresh ears. Recorded with an mbox2-pro tools setup. ReverbNation Player Should be the first song that plays, thanks for your time! Strat

    "I Scare Myself" Cover

    So I'm making an album of covers with co-workers. This is a duet of a Dan Hicks song thats been recorded many times so we kinda melded two versions together arrangement wise. This is a beast of a mix!-I have 22 tracks going and lots of automation. I kinda feel like I've mixed the life out of...

    Autoharp Rock

    I bought an autoharp recently and came up with this simple tune while strumming around on the couch. Was able to get this recording between pro tools crashes. Recorded on an mbox 2. ReverbNation Player Song is called Harpie-should be the first thing you hear on the link. Let me know what you...

    Cover: New Pornographers

    So i'm making an album of covers with friends and co-workers on vocals. A co-worker chose this song for his girlfriend and he to sing. I was unfamiliar with the song and the band so it was a challenge and a nice discovery at the same time. I've mixed this thing over and over and have lost my...

    Radiohead song

    So I'm making an album of covers with friends and co-workers on vocals, here is the latest effort. http://www.nowhereradio.com/artists/album.php?aid=4887&alid=-1 It's a Radiohead song called Jigsaw falling into place. Everything recorded to pro tools through an mbox-2. My biggest concern is...

    Nillson Cover

    I'm making an album of covers with guest singers, a guy I work with chose this song. We kind of crossed Harry Nillson's version with Stephen Stills' version. There's some imperfections (a couple of bum notes and some mic rumbling) but I think I can live with this. Recorded into pro tools using...

    Beatles Cover

    So i'm making an album of covers using friends and co-workers on vocals. Just recorded this one, it's a cover of "Something" by the Beatles. Recorded into pro tools using an mbox2. I had a tough time getting the bass to sound big without rattling the walls. My ears are shot for the day, let me...

    Old Rem Cover

    I've been making an album of covers with assorted singers. Recorded this over the weekend. Yes the vocals are bad and probably too low in the mix, but with early rem the vocals were low in the mix intentionally. That's my excuse and i'm sticking to it. Did all the music and vocals using an...

    misadventures in lo-fi

    I'm making an album of covers for christmas presents, and cranked this thing out today. I'm not a good singer and did the usual distortion and echo to cover it up. Mix is straight out of PT8 with a little vintage warmer and Eq applied in wavelab. It's a badly drawn boy song called "Everybody's...

    misadventures in lo-fi

    Did this over the last 2 days, let me know what you think of the mix, I'm trying to get the master to match my mixdown-I had to bump the highs and roll the lows to get it sounding decent. Maybe too much. It's a rock song sans vocals. calling it newaveo-located here...
