Roland Rock Posted October 17, 2012 Share Posted October 17, 2012 Great stuff. I love the bassline, and rhyming 'ruckus' with 'm*****f***ers' is inspired. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xilddx Posted October 17, 2012 Share Posted October 17, 2012 [quote name='Skol303' timestamp='1350513845' post='1840074'] Ok, here's my effort this month: [url="http://soundcloud.com/skollob/ruckus"]http://soundcloud.com/skollob/ruckus[/url] [b]WARNING: this song contains strong language[/b] (specifically one s*** and three mother******s). Not safe for work, at home with the family or in the car with grandma. With that disclaimer out of the way… this is my first punk/metal track in nearly 20 years. I'm used to working with fast and energetic genres like drum'n'bass, so it was sort of familiar in that respect but very different in others. I certainly had a bunch of fun making it. And for the record, if anybody else can think of word that rhymes with "ruckus", other than "suckers" and the word I ended up with, then you win my admiration and would make a formidable Scrabble opponent.

My other half is an English teacher and I don't think she'd approve of my rhyming choice (I'd probably get a 'detention' for that one), but it was the best I could come up with. Plus, swearing is cool. Fact. As for the singing, I've got an old condenser mic I've had kicking around for ages - bought it cheap on a whim and never used it till now - so I plan to use these challenges as an excuse to wax lyrical. Doubt I'll ever have the cojones to sing on stage (did drunken karaoke once, on honeymoon), but hidden at home and slathered in FX, I'm quite enjoying it.

xgsjx Posted October 18, 2012 Share Posted October 18, 2012 As I have the morning off, I decided to amend my entry. When I was listening to it, I didn't like the way the 2nd bassline sat (the one after the intro) & I could hear a little extra too. So here's the same song, amended... http://soundcloud.com/xgsjx/novembers-dirt Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Skol303 Posted October 18, 2012 Share Posted October 18, 2012 (edited) ^ Cheers Mike / Garry! Glad you guys dig it. Yeah, I had to wait until Mrs Skol was off to the library with Skol Jnr before recording the vocal. Had a one hour window of opportunity to pen the lyrics, record it and make a start on the washing up... nothing like a dealine to spur creativity!

Mornats Posted October 21, 2012 Share Posted October 21, 2012 (edited) I wasn't going to do one this month but got the urge today. So here it is: [url="http://soundcloud.com/mornats/and-all-that."]http://soundcloud.co...s/and-all-that[/url]. Maybe not the best mix so it's a bit raw.

[/quote] Got a faulty link there (I think it's the full stop that's the problem), try this one instead: http://soundcloud.com/mornats/and-all-that Love the baseline on this! Nice tone too. Sounds bloomin' great. The mix could do with a few tweaks as you mention; nothing major. The guitars are a wee bit washed out (maybe a bit too much reverb?) and the crash cymbal a bit too high, but I'm listening on cans so don't take my word for it. Regardless… great work if you put this together in a day - it'd take me that long just to nail the baseline Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mornats Posted October 21, 2012 Share Posted October 21, 2012 Cheers mate Yeah, about 3 hours from start to finish so hence the rushed mix. Had a few things on my mind so it proved a nice distraction. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
