[quote=Spaceman Spiff;17209180]Are you playing guitar, bass, and singing on this song?[/quote]

For the mock up recording, yes. Two guitars, midi drums, bass, and vox.

I'm like Raayl, but way shittier.

I doubt that.

Anyway, I need to get ready and head out of here. Send me that song when you get home.

Later. :wave:

l8rz, spiff.

p.s. I'm stealing that song you just sent me. It's burning to my first album (Joe Wells: 20 years in the Making) right now.

1) i dont do guitars

2) or bass

3) 75% of our drums are live


so no you really are nothing like me

I forgot that you outsource that now. Back in the day, you did most of it yourself, correct?

I didn't realize you considered those "drafts" solely for the learning process. I was under the impression they were well-planned compositions of yours and you were proud of them.

In any case, you've come a long way as far as recording ability, and I'm sure if you were in the same situation, your recording would blow mine out of the water.

By the way, guys at my work like your music. I showed them the Starsmog recordings. :thumb:

cool

and no i probably didnt consider them drafts at the time although thats really what they were and anything else i said was just me being an idiot

I can agree with this, in relation to me.

And you.

I think we can all agree to it, but it's a natural progression that we all go through as our music matures. Discrediting previous compositions as "drafts" because you weren't experienced in writing/recording doesn't mean they don't count.

I didn't listen to as much of your older stuff because it was much more raw than the refined sound I hear in your current collab group, but some of it was still damn good.

nah it was all garbage

and yes it most certainly means it doesnt count

I have no opinion on this.

And now we're arguing opinions.

I'm not going to argue about your music. If you think it's ****, then it's ****.

Have you been using your MMA moves on your girlfriend to increase the quickness of her response time?

no we're not arguing opinions

the whole "amg juz cuz is not gud qualitee duznt meen is not gud song" is an immature mantra usually uttered by people who can't, themselves, attain the level of production and sound/wave quality they want, so they try to rationalize that insecurity by justifying bad recordings

how do i know this? well, because i used to think the same way, and still do - it keeps your eyes focused in the right direction, upwards

once you reach a certain level of recording quality, you never go backwards. but, it's easy to justify not being able to produce effectively by using that mantra. cause it seems to make sense

until you, you know, listen to the bad recording and realize how bad it is

and no i have not done jujitsu on my gf

i just got back from the gym though and im sweating all over my tl;drs

hey guys

I dunno. I think you're right - if I could have the most polished recordings in the world for my band, I'd jump at the chance.

But saying that, there are a lot of bands I like who put out better and better sounding recordings, only for the later ones to sound overdone, and I prefer the older crappier ones.

So I'm kind of in two minds.

its about reaching a certain pinnacle

most people tell me (cause im a huge thrice fan) that im missing out on hating identity crisis, their debut. i cant get past the fact that the recordings suck.

but then you get to later recordings, like vheissu, where the sleek production and shimmering vocals demolish the tracks

and im always the opposite the better a band sounds mix wise the more i like them

of course the songs have to be good too but you know thats a more complicated issue

also, this is about MAKING music, not listening to it. there is a huge difference. im not aware of any band that has ever REGRESSED in raw wave quality as they grew in fame and influence

that tells you the trend

and you know you, yourself, wouldnt turn down increased quality

Metallica XD

Of course I would always push for the best quality I can get. Within our means anyway.

metallica doesnt count because they weren't riding their success once they started to suck i said regression during periods of growth not decline

like, newly discovered bands first going into a studio blah blah blah

Hmm, I'm sure I could probably dredge a band like that up if I thought hard enough. But I'd only be doing it to be a douchebag. And I don't think either of us are in the mood for me to play devil's advocate, amirite?

That, and I'm really hungry. And all-consuming hunger takes thoughts of bad production and replaces them with thoughts of food.

Oh, and when we get our band signed, I'm totally getting the label to pay for you to record us Will

You're not missing out on hating Identity Crisis. It sucks, anyway.

I found out my job now starts on Monday instead of Friday. That's good news, now I'll have a chance to do laundry before I start.

sup ****ers.

amazed at how good of a movie american history x is. i just watched it for the first time (all the way through) a couple days ago. i'd seen bits and pieces of it before, but all the way through...

wow.
