Someone is selling one for ~β¬200 on Kleinanzeigen π«£
Led Zeppelin, Communication Breakdown. Drums only, performed, recorded, and mixed by me at Transient Archive.
This one was tough to produce. I am not happy with the final product. I am glad to be done with it.
I write more of my experience producing this in the description of the video. Check it out. If you like it, consider subscribing to my channel. If you donβt like it, leave a comment for improvement.
WIP the second.
Acoustic. Some of my exes might relate. Not that they are here. Unless they are. Which would be weird.
Ahem.
Lisa Loeb - Do You Sleep
A couple of WIPs - as usual when working with Alison, we don't record video, so I may make something visual that's not too abysmal later.

More attempted music!
Husker Du - Too Far Down
Don't let anyone tell you not to be sad.

What, if anything, are considered significant or egregious alterations when mixing audio tracks? Where is the line?
FX that alters the sound in a way that strips the human element from the performance (e.g., quantization, sample replacement, etc.)?
Or more subtle changes, like EQ, compression, gating, and reverb?
I am obsessed with learning to record drums at home with Glyn Johnβs technique. I think itβs important to learn how to apply these classic techniques well, especially as modern recording techniques call for many close mics and tons of equipment to support the close perspective.
I like the large, ambient sound you get using Glyn Johnβs technique. It sounds huge and breathes.
Do any recording studios use Glyn Johnβs technique anymore?

Checked out Booty Thrill's comparison video of "Every Tascam Portastudio" at @voiceofunreason 's suggestion β and believe me, I have opinions!

Okay, here's a video for Malibu, by Hole, the audio of which I posted a few days ago.
Song makes me sad. So there's some pics of a dog I really miss in there with a lot of sunsets.
And that's a wrap! I'm done recording lyrics (safe for some pickups when I find out that I need them). Feels great, even though I'm far beyond my capabilities lyrically as well as in terms of singing.
Now it's editing, recording a saxophone solo with my sister, write a short news segment snippet for my partner to read, record that, mix, master, and then it'll finally be released in January!
Which do you prefer?
Fuller mix - added bass (I got blisters on my fingers) and perc, which is me playing a riq incorrectly, and then moved the gain and balance around.
I'm pretty happy with the "strat" in this, though I still haven't seen the light with them. I need to play in a big room at drummer levels. This was position 2 with a tube screamer (drive at 2 o'clock) into a 40w fender with the volume at about 1.75. Sounds better with a mix to cut through.
Rough cut - I may add tracks to it, but this is basically live-to-computer.
Alison singing, me playing Malibu, by Hole.
Fun was had.

I just dodged a couple of bullets in the form of an impulse buy. It was between a Tascam DP006 (which would have been practical but dinky and annoying (menu divey), or a Zoom PS04, which would've been cool and funky and had tons of effects of varying usefulness, but uses SmartMedia (worth at *least* its weight in gold (and several times its storage density)) and only included a 32mb card... but I puttered long enough for a third option to come through, which is far more my speed...
A Fostex MR-8. More channels, more physical controls... and I mean, it looks cool as shit, so there's that lol. Oh also it uses Compact Flash, which is infinitely more palatable than SmartMedia.

While ago, I made a coding agent/LLM/GenAI/AI /skill to help refine bass/guitar tone.
If you are looking to refine your tone, analog or digital, find better IR, A/B your amp/distortions/eq/compressions, make go thru try it, may help a lot.
Feel free to check out.
Looking to your feedback!

It's only the beginning of the piece, but it's already sounding quite nicely π
Oh! And the title has something to do with The Dispossessed !

Attempted music, with Alison - Eurithmics - She's Invisible Now.
They had an album before Sweet Dreams, called In the Garden. This is one from that.
Working on this. Anyone else know the trumpet part? #music #GearSquad #guitar #HomeRecording

Added this studio version. Kicking off with One Moore Time by R Stevie Moore. A very expressive tune. Add it to your queue. Read more:

25 years ago, I recorded an album of some of my original songs, a project that never moved beyond the demo stage. I recently added live drums and created new mixes.
Here's "INSIDE", synced to a live video from that same era.

You were warned :)
Here's the video version of me covering Things Can Only Get Better, by Howard Jones, from back then.
Learning to slap.
Trying to slap the bass. Need to expand my horizons. I plan to get better/less bad at it.
Anyway, here's the audio-only of my latest cover attempt: Howard Jones - Things Can Only Get Better. A very 80s, very optimistic song about Bodhic renunciation / letting go.
I'll post a video soon so you can watch it with ads.
