What do you sound like on Nu-ILX?

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.

remixed a friend's song:

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:

The requested URL "/doglatin/disco-zhivago-catacomb-jam-1", is invalid.

link works OK here (UK)

just finished this, it's called "Margarine"

Just tweaked that tracked a tiny bit, here's the final version:

Drummer tried out last weeke end worked out pretty well. Haven't consumated the relationship, but it's looking good so far.

i like that margarine song latebloomer

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

Made a beat out of Hissing of Summer Lawns. Kind of a rough version - needs editing.

Hiya ILX, long time no speak. I've recently come out from the depths of wherever it is that I hide and brought out some new music stuff.

If you're a last.fm person it's on there as well

Just started looking at this thread. Enjoyed Jay Vee's track.

Ha, replace the "4" with an "a" for the URL.

("Tension and Extension" is probably the most 'difficult' track btw.)

what I sound like: some asshole w/ a guitar — http://bloodcoverletters.tumblr.com/post/7970619406/magical-mystery-tour-throwin-it-back-to-the

Another string quartet clip:

Tension and Extension is my favorite. Sounds great.

St3ve Go1db3rg Those string quartets are great, I hate taking the 'musical director' role. I'm always so afraid of sounding like a wanker (past experience being on the receiving end with a shitty borrowed baritone saxophone I guess) but you got it down

Thanks owen! This project has taken about five months so far and I just wrapped up recording this week. Now I'm trying to meet my fundraising goal so I can pay for post-production and release the album.

Thanks, Owen. I appreciate it.

Looking forward to checking out the string quartet clips...

I shall contribute when I get home.

made a bunch of noise onstage with my friend this tuesday:

http://fuguguffu.bandcamp.com/album/live-wrek-7-26-11

I made a 73 minute mix of techno/house/dubstep/etc. tracks from the last two years or so that I made on FL Studio 4 on my 11 year old computer.

Would very much love feedback.

See more (including the soundcloud/download link) right here: DJs post your mixes for download

nice, everything sounds really well-produced. especially liked the tracks with a lot of vocal samples.

should have posted this on here to begin with but i put up the last album from the band i was in around 00 on bandcamp for free

still pretty proud of this, def late 90s indie etc but i think it's a good recording, esp the first and last songs
