update B4 march







Mostly to Luke:
Last recording weekend was good, but mostly in the way that it helped me learn some new rules and regs for recording so that future sessions can be more productive. I will hopefully get a new version of Less Than Love, or 4-Slyce never had it so nice, up soon. I definitely think I have some good keyboard flair coming on for it.

As for Tonight at Craig's. I must admit I think I like the song without guitar. Once I get Hayee to sing the girl part I'll see. The guitar seemed to work well with the singing but I didn't like how it went with the song as a whole. That gave me the idea that it would be cool to have two versions of the song (keyboard and guitar). So you should think about having a version that is just guitar (and fake drums) with you singing. I think that would be cool, since the guitar vs. the keyboard is pretty starkly different. What do you think about that idea?

I'll post some audio soonish for you to base opinions on.

The Les Victim March



Another take on an old song. I've gotta say, it's not my favorite version. But it's progress in the sense that it gets me closer to the sequencing that I would like to call final.

streaming?? you gotta be dreaming!!



So, I think this is A-OK. No more music videos unless I feel like it. (Same song as below, what's important is that it's a streamed, straight mp3.)

sweet direct, directed

I spent my weekend working this out. Now alls it really needs is (big-time) Luke to write a guitar part for it and play it, and it also needs Luke and girl to sing their parts instead of me. I'm pretty happy with it; I hope the recording quality shows at least at all in this youtuber.



Notes:
• The dual voice that you hear is my attempt at stereo with one mic (i.e. I sang each part twice—once into the left input and once into the right input—the syncing could be better)
• Drum tracks make me feel like I'm not a real musician. Also I guess I've never felt like a real musician anyway—except in my marching band outfit. The drums are obviously not real drums on this song.
• There are a few other singing mistakes/imperfections on this song that I will wait to change for when we have guitar and girl.
• The direct TRS line from my keyboard to preamp worked great, but it also worked like the singing (for stereo I had to play each part twice).
• After watching the vid, I think the up in quality still shows.
