Does it mean that you own me some royalties ?

Do you have a paypal account ?

No no no no, I was listening to it from your website, where you made it available for free. I didn't "download" it and store it locally.

I have about $0.67 in my paypal account.

Hehe, it's not God that has changed. Like I said in the other thread, slowly we accept smaller things and then bigger things and then at one point certain things become just another normal occurrence.

I don't get offended by t*ts, but I'd rather not think of a big breasted women in a bar and a bunch of bubbas chugging down beer when I'm singing,performing,listening_to,playing a hymn. I do get offended at pornographic nudity, but I think that's different. Well endowed women are....well.... beautiful mostly.

So to be absolutely clear: I never get offended just looking at a beautiful woman.

I see...Still seems peculiar that it bothers you more than pulling the trigger of a gun. But I won't dwell on it.

You should watch me play GTA2, hehe. 2 or 3 whatever version was the birdseye view only.

 

[RAMI]

Aaaahhhh...OK! I get it now.

Leeking >>

I'd prefer not showing that I sleep in my homestudio !
I bet you're sayin that because of the 6176. That was my last investment and actually "Pull the trigger" is the first song I recorded with that unit, all the previous ones have been recorded through the Mindprint Envoice. I wanted something better and instead of loosing money upgrading every year I wanted the "best".

What's next on my to-buy list ? So many thing:
- a new mic (maybe a AKG 414XLII)
- an expander when I play with my band (maybe a Yamaha Motif Rack)
- A Fender Telecaster US Standard

But first I have to eat noodles for 2 years to pay my 6176

Thanks mate for having listened !

Yeah Pulp was just an incredible band. I went especially to England many years ago to see them during the Reading Festival: it was magic!
When I was a kid my parents were not listening to stupid french music like other people do (I'm sorry, I just hate french music) but bands like The Beatles, The Rolling Stones, Fleetwood Mac, The Doors, The Who, Led Zep, etc. and that's the reason I think I'm such in pop/rock.
Concerning the Lag acoustic. I'm really lucky cause it is a very special hand-made limited edition. I fell in love with that guitar when I was 18 and it still my favourite guitar at home !

Thanks a lot, that's cool if you understood the lyrics despite my french touch

earworm >>

No offense of course. I do think that English sounds better for music than French (even if I I love my language). That's cool that you like accent. Just for the story, I heard that Nigel Godrich (producer of Travis, Radiohead, Paul McCartney, etc.) told "AIR" (a famous french band) not to try to loose their french accent cause it was the charm of their music.
Anyway, thanks a lot for your words of encouragement !!

Merci beaucoup monsieur

Timothy Lawler >>

Thank you dude!!!!
Concerning the two guitars... I wanted to put a chorus on the guitar and I finaly prefered to add another track to give more presence, I was quite happy with that !
Concerning the level... yeah actually you put your finger on something interesting cause I haave to admit that it was quite hard to mix this song because of the crescendos. If I put to much compression I kind of decrease the difference of energy between parts of the song but if I don't compress enough then the level is too low during calm part.
Maybe I will do a new mix later !

Thanks a lot for your great comments!

[rexet]

I had been meaning to post something for a while now. Just being lazy until now.

 

[rexet]

Hey dude, I just noticed that you have a page on soundclick. Will take a look next week

 

[bigbubba]

That will be cool. thanks.

 

[rexet]

That's cool but I expected to hear you sing
Anything else to listen to ?

 

[bigbubba]

Oh, I don't do the whole singing thing. I only have the $5 dollar mic found on most computers. If you hear anybody sing, it will be because I conned my brother into it. LOL.

 

[rexet]

I only have the $5 dollar mic

Try to plug it into a UA preamp, should sound great

 

[Squashki]

Nice site, and great vocals! Very catchy.

 

[rexet]

Nice vocals ? Are you sure you heard the right thing ?

Thanks a lot dude

 

[bigbubba]

Well then I have to buy a preamp. LOL Excuses.

I have been thinking about having a private place where I can yell my heart out and not worry about waiting till I have the apartment to myself or worry about the neighbors.

 

[rexet]

Neighborood can be a real problem !! Actually I'm pretty lucky since I live in the house in the suburbs of Paris but I planned to move downtown soon because of my work and then playing music will be a problem for me...

I like Pull The Trigger (judging from pc speakers), but to make it even better (to my liking, that is ) I would shorten intro & outro, especially the intro if I was in the producer's seat.

GReetings,

pull the trigger.
i like the song!

kit's a little to verby for my taste.
the clean elect, kinda has a "clog" in the mid/low mid area? i have to goof off with it solo and an eq to find what it is that i'm hearing.

the distorted git is rank, i love it
it's a little strange having both the electrics (clean and distorted) and the snare in the right side.
maybe change the panning around a little?
that's just me.
