Do you play an instrument? Do you have a band and can't stop talking about that shit?

Maybe not?

You got questions about music theory or about guitars and crap?

Yeah?

Here is your thread. This is it. This what you are stuck with.

You ever try and draw Falcor as a giant dong? No? It just ends up looking like a long cyclops.

    I have a band and will be pimping it regularly once we finish our album, we're finally done with recording and will be mixing it over the next few weeks. Also, we are putting it up on the Rock Band Network which I am supremely excited about!

    (http://kurodust.net has updates and older recordings if anybody is interested)

    I play bass guitar and quite enjoy it, even if school has been keeping me from practicing quite as much as I'd like.

    I've been kind of wanting to mess around with making digital music lately, just no idea where to start. Are there any good free digital audio workstations out there or am I pretty much looking at having to shell out a decent amount of cash if I want to do anything. Also if you guys know of any websites that have good tutorials for any programs out there that would be great.

    I run Windows as my OS, but I'm willing to create a Linux partition if necessary to run a program.

    So after dicking around with it for over two months now in my spare time, I finally managed to debug and get my fuzz face clone working. And man oh man, vintage germanuim transistors sound amazing.

    fruity loops is pretty alright though the demo version is pretty gimped up. I've been using Kristal (http://www.kreatives.org/kristal/) for some recording of late. there is some stuff in Ubuntu Studio that's pretty neat, if you do decide to go the linux route but it takes a lot of tweaking as is typical of linux related programs.

    I should post another video or two of me playing, since I think the only one I posted was the first time I ever played on stage and was also terrible quality. One of my friends got a new digital camera with HD video capabilities and filmed the following:

    I broke out my Bass for the first time in like 2 years today. I got through like 2 years of playing it not knowing how to read sheet music, which I'm trying to do right now.
    Feels good to play it again, though.

    hahahaha oh jeez I just checked out the link to your band

    if that dude actually sounds like fairly often, you may as well just go without him.

    No vocals is better than terrible vocals, especially for a demo.

    Okay, those guys have a pretty decent singer.

    The other group you linked, tho... the vocals didn't even seem to have any tonality or rhythm.

    It just struck me as violently incoherent gibberish.

    I guess it's not my bag.

    haha he actually sounds kinda like a bad Neige (amesoeurs/peste noire) impersonator :P

    I would give you feedback but I don't like hardcore/screamo so it would be more about genre bitching than whether it's actually good for what it is.
