jjay69 Posted February 25, 2013 Share Posted February 25, 2013 (edited) Thanks for the feedback XILDDX, it's always good to get some of the non audibly painful kind I know what you mean about the fast part, i was in 2 minds about keeping it in and still am in fact as it is rather pointless other than me just having fun, your right there is always a danger of it looking a bit unneccesarily "flash" and "w**ky", but the song is otherwise rather repetitive and i wanted to add some variety here n there. At least that's the theory. It's still WIP so perhaps i'll try a version without and do a comparison.

[/quote] I usually leave notes out in the riff or f*** with the rhythm if I want to break up any repetitiveness. It can have huge impact on the feel. What do you think of some of the others on here? Have you heard Gareth Flatlands' band inFictions? He posted a link in this thread, superb band! Edited February 25, 2013 by xilddx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WalMan Posted February 27, 2013 Share Posted February 27, 2013 (edited) So then, variously: [url="https://soundcloud.com/a-kind-of-fury/monday-morning-hangover-studio"]Monday Morning Hangover[/url]. Demo recorded in Denmark Street for the vocalist who had been the vox in a previous version of the band and was to become again in some different versions that followed (and follow). IIRC it was an Aria SB100 (I think) on a straight DI to the desk. We drove up in the morning. He la la'd through the idea of the song to me and the drummer - who has also been in pretty much all the bands I've been in - in the studio, then we recorded it, so the bass line was written to some la la's & sung parts and recorded along with the drums & a guide vocal. The piano & horms were added after It was quite a few years ago now, but how that worked beats me now, still work it sort of did. [url="https://soundcloud.com/aka_walman/big-wheel?in=aka_walman/sets/all-thats-fiction"]Big Wheel[/url] - All That's Fiction. This followed on from the reformation after the above demo & to do a showcase & some personnel changes. I know I have posted it elsewhere but I like it so This would have been the Wal in it's original passive mode & probably DI'd into the desk, possibly through a Laney 4x10 combo; and finally (well for now) [url="https://soundcloud.com/a-kind-of-fury/the-scoundrel"]The Scoundrel[/url] - A Kind Of Fury. Again with the same vocalist, drummer, and also now guitarist from the ATF track above, but in the reincarnation of a band that at the time was sort of Big Country/U2 I suppose. Again the Wal and still passive. Amp wise, not sure. It could be a GK MB150, or more likely either a Laney or Trace 4x10 combo. Recorded live in the r/h studio we went to and wrote in every Monday evening without fail. Recording was most probably a pair of SM58's into a reel to reel machine the vocalist had. EDIT 2 - Now then I suppose I quite like Thing3 on this old neglected [url="http://www.myspace.com/scatterometer"]MySpace a/c[/url]. Both are cheats bass wise, indeed for all the instruments except the kit & vocal samples on Thing & Soundtrack as they are all Sampletank soft synth/samples played with a keyboard.

WalMan Posted February 28, 2013 Share Posted February 28, 2013 Been working my way though the plethora of other tracks in the thread liking a lot of what I hear. Nige I don't think I have properly listened to the Kit tracks before. I had sort of listened & thought OK, not sure about the vocal stylings ( ) but I really liked the track you posted, the lines you used (staccatto & legato) and the arrangement / song generally. See it only took me a little time Liking Risingsons Everest, Steve's Breathing Underwater, & Obbm's submission. Owen's tracks. Very restful, I wish I could manage not to play so many notes sometimes! I was learning up some songs for a country dep and had to spend some considerable amount of time dropping unnecessary notes! Snicks, well I didn't get to the end of those Funny Beggers, but I like that fretless sound & again a soothing sound - well generally, & as far as I got FunkShui I really like that track & the light & shade between the verse & chorus. It really lifts into the chorus. For a lot of tracks the bass is a bit low for me, but then as you can tell from my actual bass tracks (as opposed to the soft synths that is) I can get a bit over enthusiastic and tend to go for the upfront, smack in the face bass sound. I suspect that comes from playing in bands with guitar, bass, drums & a vocalist and going to fill in space in lead breaks etc., for so many years of my playing "carreer". Sadly all the tracks I have posted date back a while as I have been playing covers for a lot of years now so not coming up with anything of my own I still have a load of sub windows open to listen to yet!
