What do you sound like on Nu-ILX?

oh yeah, I downloaded that after you posted it on tumblr — only listened once through but I liked what I heard!

hey bernard, who are you on tumblr?

oh wait, i see you're bloodletters -- been digging the stuff you've posted lately! i'm not "on tumblr" that much so i need to remind myself to check your page more often.

funnily, my record got reviewed in a few places locally. my favorite line from the denver av club: "It’s not all great, but there are definitely a few gems in the rough in the mix." Bring on the faint praise! Also, I was referred to as "the professorial rocker," so .... win?

haha, nice! "the professorial rocker" is a pretty awesome compliment in my book (although maybe less so if you're under 30? would still be totally thrilled to be called that, though!)

I mis-read that as "the professional rocker".

i am over 30 and i have a coat with elbow patches, so i guess it fits. i am not a professional rocker in any sense of the word "professional."

I found an old cd of my rap beats the other day! They're pretty nice, too. I'm kind of reticent to post them tho cause they are heavily (HEAVILY) tagged with my parents phone number.

lol

lol

can you not re-tag them?

maybe his parents phone number is the chorus

more like what did u sound like when u were more creative...this is the album i made in 2007. uploaded in its entirety for the first time tho IMM regulars may recognize some old jams.

I mean, I'm saying over and over on them "My name is R***** G*****. I made this beat. If you are interested in it, you can contact me at ###-###-####."

Actually, that was kind of helpful in dating when I made them, cause I know they're from before I had a cell phone so I must have been like 17.

I posted a couple more demos up for a drummer we are trying out this week (knock wood). The guy seems like a bro on the phone and hopefully it will work out.

at first i thought you meant that they were helping in dating, like you would give them to girls so that they would have your digits

haha me too.

"if you like what you hear, call me, and we'll continue the music making in my bed...or yours"

Being in a band is kind of like that really.

lol you guys

Just started jamming around with a couple of peeps from my locale. This is very rough, but I'm quite pleased with it considering it was about the second time we'd all played together, and this was a very loose jam:

hey guys this kind of sounds like shit! like from a sonic perspective i think it sounds pretty shitty. i want to do a self recorded project and this is my first little demo, just figuring out how to work protools etc...

but it's kinda bumming me out...i dunno...any advice?

i like it. sort of starts out sounding like a tears for fears demo or something. (can't really help with the sonic stuff -- i am pretty dumb about all of that).

haha tears for fears demo! that's not far off

yeah it just feel like...muddy or something to me

i damn near just want to get a cassette four track because at least that's a defined sound and aesthetic

yeah i've thought about breaking out ye olde 4 track recently. i was even worse with that thing, but working within those limitations started sounding kind of appealing.

have you done much eq on it? it sounds like there are a lot of non-bass instruments that could use a low-cut filter, and maybe you could make sure they're not competing for the same space around the low mids. but i think it sounds clear enough, depending on what you're going for of course.

no jordan, don't know much about EQing...the bass i used this preset on the 36 band EQ plugin called "Bass DI Helper" because I was going direct in with the bass, and that seemed to help...

i'll check for maybe a "low cut filter" on the keyboards, but i think you might be on the right track, maybe that's the muddiness

i guess it sounds ok, this was basically just a test track to get myself acquainted with doing something resembling a "song"

this could be a whole other thread, but maybe try playing around with an eq, like doing exaggerated boosts in a small frequency area just to see where a given instrument lives. i cut everything below ~400 - 500 hz on all kinds of non-bass tracks, but especially vocals and percussion/samples.

thanks! very helpful advice
