EP-een- letsa make music

arod_77

Sup guys imma makin some music.

Think Electropop with smiths influences for rhythm guitar and synth arpeggiation.

Tapping and sweep picking in the chorus but melodic ala Minus the Bear. Big Nirvana loud chorus' and soft verses.

Who else loves to make music? Jam in mamma's garage? Sell their souls to the machine?

Let us discuss the art

Tapping and sweep picking in the chorus? I'm down.

Man I want to make some music. I love to sing but I dont play anything.

Thinking of picking up an electronic drum set or maybe some bongos to toy around with.

I do not even know since I havent even written a poem since high school.

Otherwise I was thinking synth but fuck are those things expensive. And the skill dosent seem like it would translate well to anything else.

arod_77

e-drumsets are usually a waste of money--try to get lessons with someone who will let you borrow some spare shells

Aneurhythmia

About an hour ago, I was recording bass, and then my computer had its first ever hard freeze. Now, the soundcard isn't working and the wav files are corrupted. I'm ecstatic.

i am preparing click tracks for a short EP right now!

beep boop boop boop beep boop boop boop

Knob

i was learning to play piano like an hour ago

Wombat!!

I play bass, and I have a little jack converter, but it is shitty quality when I plug it directly into my microphone jack.

Do you know any non-expensive solutions?

I really like the idea of a midi set that I could change the sounds on and turn into a whole new instrument with the same imputs.

That and it would easier to start out on, since I get pretty ADD with my hobbys and move on to somthing else.

Also I was thinking of like a mini desktop thing, not a full blown concert set.

Roland V-drums are very very good.

Not everyone can have an acoustic setup.

If you're looking to do it on the cheap, and your current soundcard isn't total trash, you might be better off mic'ing an amp than running direct.

Wombat!!

I've done that in the past, but the main problem with using a mic on it is that my computer and amp are located directly below a couple of exposed air vents that tend to buzz when I play certain notes, or when I just play loud. It fuzzes everything up.

Homeless

when i record guitars i put my amp in the next room and run long cables to my mixer and computer. maybe try moving your amp?

Knob

put your amp and mic in the closet

Mr Bubbles

I think I've ended up in a band by accident

Homeless

leave your amp and mic where they are but put everything else in your room in the closet

NotASenator

leave everything where it is and stand in the closet when you play.

Wombat!!

I tried some stuff, in standard and in drop D, some slap and some more metal stuff, and some of it turns out better than others. If I play with the treble at around a medium setting, so it sounds a bit more natural, I have to crank the volume waaay up to make it sound decent at all with the recording, and drop D has to be way low, or it just fuzzes with the lower notes.

It is progress, though!

Drop D

Thats how girls play

arod_77

Drop D and Drop C are half the reason I hate going to guitar center.

Usually any guitar you pick up will be mangled into half drop d with an a flat and an e flat mixed in on the other strings for good measure

Put enough gain on it, and you too can sound like every other band in the world

Using only one finger

Wombat!!

Most of the things that I play in drop D are these little riffs from Muse outros, or just some more metal sounding heavy jam things.

And one Rage song, but we don't talk about that.

arod_77

its all about the osaka jam

Wombat!!

Hell yes it is. That was one of the things I recorded when I was testing shit out.

Oh man is it tasty.

Mr Bubbles

That's being developed for the new album, I've heard

And they probably did it on a locked nut by completely loosening the microtuners, so the tension on the bridge is all kinds of screwed, and it won't go back in tune without a hex key.

grr drop c makes me sad. i don't really like the sound either. drop d can be way fun though. my band switches to drop d from standard for some of the less "traditional" metal sounding songs

Mr Bubbles

Real men play in standard tuning

Aneurhythmia

Realer men play in new standard.

Mr Bubbles

But only the manliest leave their guitar by the radiator over a week, then play it and see what happens

Oh hey, a thread for our cheesy album covers, I've got the goods:

I've been playing bass for three years and it has been about a year since my old band fell apart. Outside of jazz stuff that i do through school/extra cirricular schools i am in desperate need of a new project to join.

I love how myspace loads the music player very last

Wombat!!

If anyone lives in NW Washington, lets make a band right now.
