The other night, I created a post with a about 9 links to some songs I made way back when on some cassette-based mutlitrack junk.
I deleted the post right away, cause the mp3's didn't all work right.
Here is one of my whiney-voiced songs that did d/l okay.
happy as i am (http://arizonaprogreen.com/happy as I am.mp3)
I love music. I'm drunk. I have maybe 100 more "songs"
:D

A "Music Forum" on this BBS i think would go over great.!..I think someone mentioned it before too.
Nuke,u still have that colab clip?Was lookin for it the other day couldn't find it.
Happy Hangovers!!:D

Okay, more beer and more bravery.
Here's some more music I taped in the 80's.
Sirloin sent me a file of him and his buddy on drums and bass....I added acoustic and some vocals for a stab at the song. It's from this year.
anyway:

I dont know about anyone else.
But I'd say the three of you have a band
You "ring"
:aok
Try Nobody Cares as either a trio or with a female singer
Your voice just doesnt seem to fit that one well. No offence
Same thing with the chorus portion of Give it up. ( trio)
You seem to be reaching to hard for those higher notes
Or try singing more from the dyaphram and less from the back of your throat
the other stuff where you used multiple voices sounds great though.
May keep em myself

Well WTF you doing sitting around for 16 years?
for the last 16 years the vast majority of the music industry has been putting out crap music with a gem sprinkled here and there.
And no I dont consider someone SCREAMING into a microphone from the beginning to the end of a song, "music" No matter how good the instumentals sound
You got IMO a good friggen sound there.
Do something with it
BTW the link in your first post dont work "Page not found"
Consider this post a high compliment from me
And a boot in the butt.
which everyone needs form time to time ;)

I agree with Dred, very good sound. My friend is in a band where the "singer" has "lyrics" of course it sounds like he is trying to rip his vocal cords apart from the inside out rather then sing. I told him it wasn't quite good and he understandably got mad, but damn. At least you could understand some of Nirvana's lyrics.
My decision, I think you need to start sending out demos:aok

Wonder how mad he's gonna be when in 5-10 years he barely has a voice to say hello.
All that screaming cant be good for ya
-
They have sprays that are supposed to protect your vocal cords. Unfortunately I don't think they will do anything for the amount of sheer screaming he does, maybe they will, im not sure. I can get you the website and show you. The only thing they have is energy. Maybe he'll start smoking to give his screaming that smoky overtone too!:rolleyes:

Good stuff, Nuke. We've shared a couple of emails about your songs so you already know that I think that you're very talented.
This inspired me to dig up a couple of songs...
The first one (http://members.shaw.ca/cwharton/pics/06-Track-06.mp3) is just a typical heavier rockin' thing.
This one (http://members.shaw.ca/cwharton/pics/08_Track_08.m4a) started out as a sort of spoof or mimicking of Mowtown stuff, repleat with the b-a-b-y fromage lyrics, but it ended up being kind of suprising.

The second song wouldn't load for me.
Wow! That first one sounds awesome.....very polished. That mix is just as good as anything on the radio.
Good singing, playing and mixing, Nash. Very good!
Okay, the second one loaded. Very nice! Where did you record those? The drums are sweet.
You are very talented.
-
Mr. Big, good stuff there. What kind of guitar you playin? Thanks for sharing.
-
At work now so I will have to wait to hear Nuke's mad lyrics he be busting out on the 'netie.
Word.
-
all around good music guys. all of it good. Agree with Dred, what are yous doin just sitting around? get this stuff recorded and published so I can illegally download it :t
Nash, your second song downloaded and saved but cant play it, need to know what program to run it with.
-
Sorry - this link (http://members.shaw.ca/cwharton/pics/08-Track-08.mp3) should work now for the 2nd song.
-
Hey Nash,
Still would like to know where/how those songs were recorded. They really sound great.
I'm especially interested in the drums and bass.
All of my songs, except Spirits & Ghosts, are programmed drum machine stuff I did on a Roland RM-8.
I'd love to hear more of your stuff.
Slimm50, thanks. My acoustic is a mid-priced Yamaha that I mic. My electric is an Ibanez.....don't remember what model ( and it doesn't say on it), but it's a strat body and was kind of high-end when I got it. Got a Yamaha bass with active EMG's.

As you may notice, lyrics are not my strong point. I basically suck at lyrics.
Wish I could let the lyrics flow like Nash can, but I can't. :D

Hey Nuke.
It was recorded in a single cement room (the acoustics were surprisingly great) with Pro Tools Digi 001 (8 channel) and recorded to HD. I forget what that CPU was, but it was in the 700's.... very slow by today's standards.
The drums were mic'd with various mics (Shure, Sennheiser, etc., the usual culprits)... 8 of them.... 2 for the top/bottom of snare, 1 high hat, 1 bass drum, 2 for the toms, one between the floor tom and ride, and one overhead mic to get the crashes and room sound. It was a challenge because I'd generally want two bass drum mics (one inside, and one where the beater hits the skin to get that "slap"), seperate crash mics and two mics for the room. But such is recording on the cheap.
The bass went direct, essentially. It was run through a compressor prior to hitting the 001.

Well Nash, that's one HELL of a job and a very fuggin great sound !
You know what you're doing, to say the least.
-
Thanks man!
And like I said, I dig your stuff. :)
