I recorded a cover of Engine by Neutral Milk Hotel today.

mostly finished mix of one of the songs that will be on our album. we're still in the mixing process, which is the part i hate the most. basic guitar/bass tracks were recorded live w/ 2 drummers, vocals/gtr overdubs added later

i sampled jorge ben's "umbabarauma" for a beat

^^sounds pretty cool once all the drum parts come in

Sounds like a great recording, 6335. I wouldn't stress too much over the mixing. You've got good tracks, that's the most important thing.

And that was cool, m bison. I like the stereo hi-hats.

My first (and so far only song):

http://www.myspace.com/stepdaughtersca

Heavy Pet Shop Boys/New Order influence.

Advice/criticism would be appreciated (pls don't be to harsh though, this was done entirely on midi with not very good quality sounds; I'm just starting).

My next song will sound even more Pet Shop Boys.

get rid of those claps or replace with tight synth sound! otherwise the song writing is good!

OK thanks, that makes sense.

i will listen when i get home! and i will be honest.

WHERE ARE MY "MARGINS"???????

i'm really into this song, david. it definitely sounds like it's influenced by New Order.

the synth/bass is completely great. the strings(?) feel right but could do with a little bit of variation. maybe u could blend them with a nice background synth in parts?

the percussion is fine, especially when you play with it, but the drums sound canned. but this might just be myspace sound.

the melody is really nice, and i like the epic feel of it, like it's taking its time until it gets to the chorus. but the vox should be clearer, and they should cut through the mix more. maybe with a phaser at times to vary up their position in the sound. i'd also just like to understand what you're singing better.

also, you could do with a little more oomph on the "i'm gonna be a star" line cuz it is one that can sound tired. i mean, i LIKE it, but at that point in the song, it feels like you could have a little more impact. i do think, though, that this could be achieved through singing the lyric a bit differently, if you're not up for altering the actual words.

maybe u could blend them with a nice background synth in parts?

or electric guitar?

Wow! thanks a lot Surmounter. That's definitely the most comprehensive and IMO best piece of advice I've heard so far!
I had a very limited palette of sounds I could use, yet I admit my limitations are precisely in the beat/drums section and the vocals; I mean, recording vocals is incredibly difficult. Like you did, I also felt like I wanted something else than the background synth strings at some points, but I just didn't know what to use. Overall I think I need to learn to "produce". Again, thanks a lot!

of course :-)

i s'pose this is just the skeletal version, but these days that's pretty much what comes out. the skeletal stuff.

my dub mix of jaymc's band is up, it looks like. how many other ilxors are on there?

lol I came in second to last place

sounds good though!

I am always afraid to click on the links here or go listen to other ilxor's electronic musics mayhems because I think about what if one of you internet people makes music I like better than my own? I would have to throw my computer out

haha, i didn't know your opinion of ilx was quite that low.

both the remixes i've listened to so far sound awesome (tom's & n/a's).

other ilxors i know about:

michael f gill is an ilx dude
eazy is on there under his government name
promqueen USA is nabisco

pretty sure there are others

based on a quick scan, mine in easily the worst. not being falsely modest, still pretty proud of mine since i don't really know how to do remixes at all. just the quality seems high across the board

The top two tracks currently on my myspace page are from the album I did for the RPM 08 challenge. For a project slapped together just because I could I think they turned out pretty decent.

we re-did 'never too late' and it's head and shoulders the best thing we've done, which means it doesnt totally suck

I'm not sure how much is new, but there's stuff here:

I also have a new album out, none of it is online though... Does anyone want one?

I have never let other people hear my musicings, even though I feel I'm pretty good at them. I think I will stop being so shy.

Both of those are intended to be full songs with vocals, but for now they are not.

And somehow I naturally left in this little bass bit I tried out and didn't like in one of those. Oh well.

i love Desire. i desire to sing some vox on top of it, wanna let me?

Dear Mr. Chriddof:

It seems clear, at least to me, that you despise most music, in the sense of the word that the electorate holds it. I would, therefore, greatly appreciate the challenge of turning your efforts into popular anthems, were you inclined to offer me the opportunity. My e-mail address can be discovered via the first link on the left below this post. Should I fail in my endeavour, you can at least be sure you did not fail in yours.

Regards,

The Mighty Sandy Heath Transmitters - Sweethearts Of The Fallout

Haven't made a new track in ages. This is one of the first tracks I made almost entirely in Reason (although I had to use Acid Pro/Sound Forge to record the vocals which are all performed by yours truly). There are a few things I wish I could change (sometimes the vocals are too loud, and they come in quite abruptly sometimes). But let me know what you reckon.

Lovin the Fake Fictions!

thanks brah

"Rock Out" needs a better title: "You Listened to This So You Must Be Gay (Your Wife Caught You Jerking Off While Looking at Pics of Dicks)." (cf Anal Cut, the thread on that band that made the album about George W. Bush, etc.)

A couple of newly posted live tracks wherein the drums are prominent in the mix (almost uncomfortably so for me):
