Oh yeah, I've been messing with that stuff all my life...
getting it bright sounding but not shrill is an art in itself...
It is. And I only recently was hipped to the trick to take the "fizz" out of emulated parts by an actual producer friend who's now offering pointers... would've been nice to know a year ago, but hey!
Sometimes it may be better to leave the fizz in until you see how it all fits together, then slowly dial it out without cutting too much off the top end...
For instance, WACF has a lot of fizz...
But it sounds perfectly fine...
Oh yeah, you always want to see how things sit in the mix before you start going crazy adding, subtracting, or EQ'ing.
Wiley Coyote and Roadrunner on a coffee break, ay? Keep it up fellas. This insightful dialogue from the two of you is what this place needs right now.
Thanks....sorry, it appears I've run out...

I was thinking more "George and Ralph", but OK...
I gotta go do some work...
It's almost noon...

Bashing someone for their twisted political or religious view is one thing...
Bashing a fellow musician over their musical attempts is stupid and very insensitive...
He says, after doing it himself for-fucking-ever.... seriously?BTW...

But now the difference is you've posted something of your own. For which I congratulate you. That's also a good attitude to have going forward... just sayin'.
Anyway, back to constructive suggestion (not criticism): Next one - seriously, try doing the scratch rhythm to a click. You'll find it SO much easier to add (or subtract) the other stuff later, tellin' ya.... you can still RE-do the rhythms as a single pass, but it'll sound tight.

Did you just post that you are the most stupid insensitive person on this site???
No...
Btw, you might want to disable that download link if you're gonna start posting original stuff you haven't copyrighted yet, or at least registered with ASCAP... just a(nother) suggestion.
Not bad, doesn't suck.Welcome to my thread and welcome to ELVIS' headquarters...
Well, after getting married and constructing my own man-cave/studio and getting everything into place, the results are finally starting to come to fruition...
This is my first demo attempt of one of my song ideas from the ELVIS vault...
Three straight tracks on GarageBand...
No overdubs or editing...

Trolls take heed...LOG OUT & FUCK OFF!!!
I'll take that...
I'd agree with that - it sounds like the ideas for two songs.
I like the first part better - it has a slippery groove.
The Power Of The Riff Compels Me
I can do better than that...
It sucks...
THAT would a GRATE subject for another thread!!!
"How to protect your songs!"
I would like to learn more about that...
A four year old can do it...
I'm not surprised you can't...
Let me google ASCAP for you...
Then of course, there's that book called "All You Need to Know About the Music Business" by Donald S. Passman...
Earlier...
Mine is nicer and better equipped than that...
Damn it! More money to spend!!!
I remember one of the Guitar mags doing an article ages ago aboot ASCAP & BMI and the like....and getting your stuff registered
Probably around my place somwhere...since I have nearly EVERY issue of every Guitar mag known to man!!!
But Tanx....I will be picking up that book....never had to worry about it before.....but I've been putting down tunes like nobodies buzzinezz lately
Yeah, I have quite a few myself...
Great read. A must have for every musician...

And it's always fun to look into the little differences in the business...

Always retain the music AND publishing rights unless someone's willing to pay to own part of it...(so I'm told)... and of course, the unwritten rule of the music industry...

The publishing is where the money is really at.
Steve Vai became a millionaire because he refused to give up any publishing for his first album, Flexable.
And Paul McCartney's probably made more money off of other people's publishing royalties than he has off of any album he's recorded himself since 1976.
(Though ironically enough, NOT the Beatles catalog, which used to belong to a monogloved pedophile who took Paul's advice..... and used it to stab him - and John Lennon - in the back)

Like trying to find a good woman...
I seem to have done ok in both areas...
I hear the Palmer's better... Do whatever ya want, but I'd suggest try Recabinet or Mimic speaker emulation with the ADA MP first (assuming GarageBand lets you use plug-ins?). Pennies on the dollar compared to a hardware cab emulator. Way more options as far as adding outside impulses, changing the virtual "room" & "mic" positioning, too - cool stuff.
Can't comment on one, but there's always room for improvement on the other.. I wanna hear the next thing(s) you come up with. And do try doing the first rhythm track to a click - can you sync your Drum Machine via MIDI in GarageBand, and isn't there the option of adding a click in there anyway?I seem to have done ok in both areas...
I don't like the click because it distracts me and some of my songs have some serious time fluctuations...
I can do much better with timing off the top of my head as I wasn't really trying with my first example...
And I want the ADA unit for other reasons...
The new Garageband lets you use plugins but I may go a more advanced direction in the coming months...
"Distracts" you? Never got in the habit of practicing with a metronome as a kid? Just saying, I've met drummers who say "I can play better without the click" too...they're usually full of it...Again, do whatever ya want, but time fluctuations in songs are easier to deal with (and still remain solid) in the digital realm with a click, it's not like the days when Metallica spent the first month of pre-production assembling click tracks. You just tell it to switch from say 98 to 120 BPM or whatever, at whatever bar you've decided the change will occur at. I know you also like to do the one-pass thing for rhythms too, but one option with time changes and a click would be to punch in doing the scratch rhythm until you get the idea down, THEN once that's done wipe it and do the keeper rhythm track(s) as a single pass(es).
Just offering options for more pro- but not mechanical OR sloppy-sounding tracks. YMMV.
Yeah, that's cool info...
Maybe if I had a metronome lamp ??
Do they make that ??
Thanks...
