Hey guys, Here's another tune I did with the one and only Heatmiser. Again, he did most of the hard work. I sent him 4 notes of guitar, bit of (mellotron) flute and a complete drum track (that I downloaded from Loop Loft). Pete created the rest of the song with guitar and bass, and mixed it...

I just came up with an idea. Heat did most of the leg work...drums, guitar parts and bass and mix. What did I do again? I just sang and did a bit of midi with the glockenspiels. Think it turned out sweet but I'll let you be the judge of that...

Yo. Been away for a while. It was cold out there. :) Nothing original here, but it feels like a new song to me now, so... A long time ago Heat told me he'd like to mix Chapman for me. Well, we finally got around to it. We added and amended a few things...I rearranged and did the vocals...

Hey. I just had to take the piss out of something and there's no better way than a song. The lyrics are somewhat repetitive but then so is Facebook. All comments welcome, good or bad. Thanks for listening. :) https://soundcloud.com/fritsthegirl-1/facebook Like it. Link it. Share it round...

The Heat agreed to mix this song for me. I redid the vocals from my first version, and went back to an old intro, but other than that all the improvements in sound are due to his excellent work. He played a new and improved bass track and everything, including shakers, and a tambo, plus...

OK, after dissing newbs for buying too much stuff, I'm about to ask a question about I think I need to buy next to make what I've bought work better. :facepalm: I haven't bought anything I didn't need or want. I'm just not sure if I'm doing something wrong with the wiring, or missing the right...

I think it's finished - except for ALL the things I didn't hear that you're going to tell me about without holding back. :D https://soundcloud.com/fritsthegirl-1/come-die-with-me More bass now (my playing is like a giant stomping through the song) and vocals. Bit topical (6 cyclists died in...

Hiya, I tried out a blackstar tube amp at a guitar shop not long ago. It was the first real amp I ever tried. I think it was around £140 but I forget which model it was now. It was awesome playing with a real amp, and now of course, I want one. I have a Behringer Vamp now, but I'm getting a bit...

Hey you guyses, V1 https://soundcloud.com/fritsthegirl-1/faithful-kind-of-morning-05 V2 https://soundcloud.com/fritsthegirl-1/faithful-kind-of-morning-v2 I'm just putting this up as an instrumental for now. I have the melody for the vocals but am still figuring the lyrics out. So I've just...

I want to do a bit of slide guitar but I think the action on my electric is a little too low. I'm getting loads of buzzing on some strings. I think the action is the problem. I don't have the same problem on my acoustic. Granted, my skills are virtually zero with slide, but from what I've read...

Starts rant.... Is it just me, or have there been more than the usual amount of questions/problems in the last couple of weeks about buying and not being able to work expensive microphones, software, interfaces, preamps...? I don't get how people can have so much difficulty with the stuff...

Pretty soon I'm going to run out of questions. Not really. :D I want to buy a bass. The bass is just going to be for filling in some bits that I can't cover with guitar and my voice. I'm not a bass player so I don't really need anything majorly good. I'm going to buy second hand so I guess I am...

I know this question has been asked a billion times probably...you know, give me the secret to make my voice sound like this...LOL. I did a quick search on here but could only find vocal rap advice. It's a far cry from the sound I'm after. Please can someone tell me what vocal effects you can...

OK, here she comes again with a weird ass question... I don't know if anyone is into geometry and maths...but if you are you are, then you will probably know about the golden mean/ratio. I guess I describe it as being the perfect geometric proportion for ultimate aesthetic pleasure. The golden...

Opus :laughings: https://soundcloud.com/fritsthegirl-1/chapman I know it hasn't been long since my last tune, like not even a week, but sometimes I do things on the fly, you know nice and random. I haven't forgotten about all that Jazz, but I found myself getting all obsessive about this tune...

I'm not religious, but I probably think about it as often as someone who is. I didn't know at the time of writing this song that Gong had dedicated a whole album title to Bertrand Russell's idea of Flying teapots. It's such a brilliant analogy. The lyrics are ambiguous, even by my standards...

Thanks homerecording.com and all the peeps on it. Since joining this forum I have learned so much, way too much to list. All of it has sunk in at different times, but I often go back to previous threads to check out answers to questions I've asked and got some really great help with. The most...

Writing lyrics...ambigious question/discussion of 2013. Some people on here write really dreamy lyrics. And I have to admit that I love dreamy lyrics. But when I try to do the romantic/dreamy take on something it sounds ridiculous and even I lose track of what I'm trying to say. I also like...

Which (What?) song that you've written/played on/mixed, is your favourite, and why? This is not for feedback about recording, just put up whatever song of yours you fancy the most. My favourite part of this forum is the mixing clinic because I really enjoy hearing other people's tunes. I...

This tune has taken ages. It was 3 songs for a while and I dumped it God knows how many times...only to come back to it. Finally it came together as one song. Hope it was worth it. Let me know if anything sounds really bad, or a bit bad...I did a bit more playing around with the EQ and such, so...
