EGAD! A Shiny New Recording?

[super deluxe]

Yes, it's true. I've spent forever on this one, so now y'all can take a listen. I think I'll do another mix after I get some feedback and some distance from it, because right now I've heard it a few too many times.


It features my frankenstein jazz bass, my violin, and some other stuff.

So yeah, it needs a title, so suggest some.



Go!

[pikester]

When I first read the thread title, I thought you made a recording with your bass tuned to EGAD.

As for the song... wow. The only real criticism that I have for it is that I'm not a huge fan of the "drums", but I got so distracted by the rest of the song that I forgot about them. You get as many thumbs as I have up.

[Skit]

Wow I really like this.

Good stuff :thumb:

[Crudd-Bucket™]

I really liked it also :thumb:

Although I'd like to hear the songs more bass orientated :p

[fingerstyle]

Hurrah for soundclick.. great work on the song by the way.

Hehehe, my all-bass cover of Blue Moon is #11 today on the Jazz Covers chart.

I thought the thread was directed at EADG. Dyslexia is fun!

Sounds awesome man!

[naut]

very nice, great progression. all GarageBand? (aside from what you mentioned, of course).

[Sade]

Lisa, if you wern't already married to your work, I'd ask you.

Great job. Your melodies are kick-arse. Plus, you're one of the few people on this site with GOOD sound quality.

MAKE MORE.

[JeBuSrOcKs]

i liked it. it was very different from what i normally hear on here. nice job :thumb:

[JBass]

honestly..not my kind of music but extremely well done nonetheless, good job, and better than anything i could put together:thumb:

[nisakss]

Cool song, there are some nice riffs in there.

As for the title, I thinkl it would need something with an oriental feel or something.

[cAPS_lOCK]

Really good stuff. The only thing that puts me off is the rhythmic "thud" that is slightly off-beat and makes it sounds like I'm listening to a bad LP. That is just preference, of course, but it kind of ruins the whole thing for me. :) Sorry.

[TheBassStylee]

very cool!
good blend of everything togrther..
sounds great

[Polyamarous]

Me likes, and I don;t have amuch of a rpoblem with the drums per-sé, but either you should make everything else louder, or make the drums quieter.
But thats damm good work, and you put it together really well. :thumb:

Also, did you do the art work (square eye) yourself?

[super deluxe]

No, I did the singing, played some synth stuff and some of the keys myself too. There's not near as many loops in this one as the last.

caps_lock: an off-beat "rhythmic thud"? I guess I don't really know what part you mean...?

Polyamorous: nah, I just found the picture and did a bit of tweaking, it's someone else's.

Crudd-Bucket: There's bass through pretty much the whole song. I don't really think it's much different than when people post recordings of their band.

Sade: these stupid things take me way too long...who knows when I'll have time to write another? :(


thanks for listening...

[irishslappop]

very nice, i liked that a lot. i like the approch you took with the bass and the violin together, and not having some outrageous annoying slap line in there. great job.

[Visti]

Is it your own vocal work? And very nice quality on the piano, those are a pain to record.

i think she said they were keys, as in a keyboard, which is easy to record with good quality :thumb:

Bah. Didn't notice. It's pretty awesome, though. Pretty triphoppy. I like the Exhale one as well.

[irishslappop]

yeah i like them a lot too, once again, very very well done.

The first "thud" comes almost exactly at 1:21 for the first time, and goes on for pretty much the rest of the song, around the twelfth 16th in every measure. In the quiet part after 3:00 it's more frequent and more noticeable. It's not a bass drum and it's not a snare drum - what is it? It sounds almost exactly like the disc is scratchy, and it annoys me very much. Dunno why. :) Noone else seems to bother, which is pretty strange.

I think it's just part of the beat. Oh well. :-/

And for Irish-

It's "sort of" a keyboard- I literally type the notes, it's more like a digital synth I guess.

yes, but it was all done with GarageBand, no?:p

sorry, i think i should have been a little more clear in what i originally said.

[:amaze:]

definately diggin this. you need to write more stuff, for sure.

[SLKBassist]

Wow that is amazing. I am really blown away by it.

[Jim Hull]

Wow, I loved it. Amazing work :thumb:

[Soulfly666]

That was pretty cool. I really like the sound of your violin in the beginning. It sounds like you're really far away. I didn't like the drums that went along with that though.

I also liked how at some points the violin seems to overlap itself, it made for a very cool effect. That was you singing? Nice voice, guess those semesters in Aural Skills paid off, eh? :p

My only beef witht he song were those drums in the beginning, but overall great job. I really dug it.:)

[Thonk]

Awesome stuff. Nice vocals and everything flowed very nicely.

[thelowsoundofbass]

frick i need to get garageband when i get my mac, very very very good as usual SD

lowsound

[super deluxe]

Huh, I think it's interesting how mostly people disagree about the beat. I like it, because it's danceable. :)

[BassVirtuoso]

EGAD!

That sounds like an insane tuning. Maybe if you have a Fiver, BEGAD.

Is that you singing? If it is, then if your voice was a person, I would rape them.

I think I'll take that as a compliment, and tell my voice to stay out of alleys and the unlit corners of the park!

[Spaceman Spiff]

You should spend less time writing music and more time baking me delicious pastries... after all, you are a woman.

[Soulfly666]

Huh, I think it's interesting how mostly people disagree about the beat. I like it, because it's danceable. :)

I liked your beat it was very moving. I just don't like the tone drums at the little bit from 16-32 secs. I'd most likely like it a lot more if it was just your violin by itself. :)

GarageBand comes standard, no purchase necessary.

Sadly my mac is 5 now, so I had to buy GB. Not only that, but it has trouble running 30 tracks at once so I had to bounce down a few times to cut down on the lag. :-/

SD, i just had an amazing idea. you and coffee should hook up to do a song together

[e p]

this is great.

sorry, ive probably asked this before, but what do you need to run garageband? can you run it on windows xp? whats the program like? is it similar to photoshop where you just push some buttons and these preset things do all the work for you?

[thelowsoundofbass]

huh?

[Jimbobntnr]

this is great!

[e p]

huh?

I mean that anyone without photoshop knowledge can make a photo look proffesional withing a matter of minutes by finding the right filter,etc. just wondering if it was similar in garageband.

[naut]

oh i see. well, in comparison to other softwares such as Cubase, ProTools, Reason, etc. it's a relatively easy program to operate.

[Spazzout22]

I sort of feel like your music is better than most of the crap on the radio. At least I'd listen to it. Um, also, you have a really nice voice. You should really make more music, however I get that it's time consuming.

Fav part, the banjo sounding thing near the end.

and interesting side note, the first time I heard it, there was a recording of some live band my music theory teacher gave us playing underneith your music. It synced up so nicely that I thought it was part of your song. Kinda sounded cool, however I really like the clean-ness of just yours better.

[naut]

man...i'm likin' this more and more with every listen...

headphones help a lot.

[:amaze:]

I liked the beat.




:amaze:

[Guinpen]

probably the most well-rounded and interesting solo stuff i've heard on this forum yet

[Questionable_Reflection]

ima sucka for a off beat drums n a violin, liked the way it was quite direct but still 'swarve' ie 'kept its distance'
i think when a songs both subtle and direct it really creates a sorta 'funtional envelope'.

[PaulR]

It was wicked cool.

[Teh Glees0rz]

T'was incredible. If only all electronica was this good. :D

I loved the violin work and the keys were really nice too.

Good job Super deluxe :thumb:

[super deluxe]

Thanks guys.


The people on my hall were making fun of it last night. :(

[Jim Hull]

Agreed. They do!

s delux, who you going to believe... us or them? Im telling you, I love this song, and I love the drums at the start, and from what I could here, I love your voice too.

[Visti]

The more I listen to this, the more it sounds like some upbeat Portishead with a more aggressive beat. T'is good stuff. I sessioned for a triphop project once, though not on bass and I've come to dig most of it.

[super deluxe]

Agreed. They do!

s delux, who you going to believe... us or them?

It's true, I probably shouldn't expect rave reviews from people who listen exclusively to Springsteen...
