Original song about defying physics to date out of my age range

Not sure if I heard the new version or the old version, but it's a really good song and the lyrics and voice deserve to be higher in the mix.

I don't know if it's me, but I don't seem to be hearing much at all in the lower of higher frequencies. Everything seems in the middle. Something to consider, on top of all the good advice already given, you may simply have too many instruments in your arrangement considering the quality of your recording equipment.

Or, putting it another way, I would rather hear what you were singing at the expense of losing another instrument.
 
The link in the first post and on the soundclick should be the second version.

It's quite possible I have too much mid-range, yeah. I'm still pretty newbish about getting everything into it's own space EQ-wise. I tend to just try to make every track sound the best I can get it on its own and hope that they'll all play nicely when I mix them.
 
Dear Mr. Vomit,

respectfully, you need to start thinking about EQ. I am also new to it and have found that you soon get used to it.

Just think "lows" "low mids" "mids" "high mids" "highs" and make you own definition up. Be crude and experiment and try and slot one instrument into each slot (except drums which go everywhere).

See if you can use this to make all of the instruments clearer without clashing.

Also, unfortunately, rhythm guitar always sounds amateur unless you are in Abbey Road. I tend to use picking guitar instead.

Here is one of my songs called My Girlfriend's Telepathic. Another Sci-Fi Girly classic!?!? It uses similar instrumentation but picking electric instead of strumming - http://www.jamessongfactory.net/Mp3/my girlfriends telepathic.

I would be interested to know if you can hear the words without me showing you the lyrics, first?

Regards,
 
Fuck im too late...

Sounds great steve...

And its one of my favorites so far of yours... For sure.

I do agree that you need some more energetic cymbols and crashes.

Are you ever going to be putting an album out? or just downloadables?
 
P.S. fat kid emo pants is fucking hilarious....

I sent the link to my brother. hope you don't mind.

We make 'emu' kid pants jokes all the time.
 
Hes certainly one of the most talented writes here...I always get a bit of a giggle at the lyrics :)
 
AB: I'd like to put out an album sometime, but I'm stalling until I get my recording skills to the point I'd like and find the time to record it. (That or make enough money to just hire Tanacea to do it.)
Maybe I'll take a week or two off in February to do a real album for RPM instead of just another We'd Sell Out for $50 Bucks.
Oh, and go ahead and share these links as much as you want!

Hey Jinkos! That's a pretty cool song. Lot of stylistic similarities there. Perhaps we should collaborate sometime.
 
They do an album recording every February. You're supposed to try to record a full album (30 minutes or 10 songs) in the 28 days. This year, I did lo-fi punk so that I could finish it in 1.
 
How would they know if you spent the whole year on it or 28 days.

Seems fishy.


Fun and challenging but weird...
 
It's all based on the honor system, so if you cheat, it will hang over your conscience even as people pat you on the back and congratulate you for your success. (That's the grand prize: a pat on the back and a photo of you holding your CD on the RPM webpage. Not a lot of incentive to cheat really.)

By the way, for extra fun, you can compare the recording of this song with a bootleg of how I play it live.
 
Song is pretty cool. I like how you drop it out before the chorus. Vocals are good. Only thing I'm not mad about is that kick. It sounds like a mad flapping flappy thing

Maybe we should release a HomeRecording.com sci-fi girlfriend compilation album? We've got time-travel, telepathy. What else? My girlfriend's a sex android, My girlfriend's a cloned version of myself with a sex-change, My girlfriend's an alien (come to think of it, my girlfriend IS an alien!).

Hmm, maybe she would be offended. She might eat me.
 
I've also got "My Girlfriend Escaped from the Insane Asylum, and now we're running away; I don't care how many people she has to kill" and "My Girlfriend exists only on the Internet, but my connection is pretty bad right now."

Bulls: "mad flapping flappy thing" is probably the most succint critique I've gotten on my drum samples yet! :D

LMAO! I can't stop giggling like a school girl about that one!!! :laughings::laughings::laughings:

...that's what it sounds like!!!
 
Dear Mr. Vomit,

I would like to volunteer my wife for your time travel project.

She is 43, and not bad looking.

Though you may want to remove some of her fat in the process. Interestingly, she has also been described as a mad flapping flappy thing.
 
Vomit: New song idea "Mad Flapping Flappy Thing" I can hear it now!!:)

Brilliant!

I keep getting volunteers for this project, but I think I made it clear in the song that she needs to be a teenager. That or I need to rewrite it as "Time traveling cougar girlfriend." :D
 
Sorry, I got muddied and confused.

I thought you needed someone older who you were going to make younger.

Probably wishful thinking, on my part. I hadn't really thought it through.
