What do you sound like on Nu-ILX?

eins zwei drei vier funf sechs sieben acht

i'm feeling bold, so i'm just gonna post this. this is just a practice track with two practices practice spliced together for practice, but it's the first thing i've ever put together that sounds even remotely like i did it intentionally (i totally didn't, but it almost sounds like i did!)
eek

The room reverb sounds great, were the drums recorded in your basement?

yeah, with my cellphone!

you should have posted that on the drummers advice thread too!

1) your drums sound good! whatever kit you ended up picking up, nice job.
2) YOU sound good! it's obvious you're striking the drums with some authority, and your tempo is generally solid.

LL i know we're going to play together live at some point but also if you ever just want to send me drum recordings like that i can try and make songs on top of them. might be fun.

n/a - ok! i put the drum part by itself on soundcloud too -- can you download it? i have no idea. i can send it to you too if you want. that's my best one so far, but maybe after lesson on friday i will have more to offer.

also, thank you! i didn't want to spam the drummers thread so i thought i would put it here but i will happily repost if you think it's worth it
really i was just glad it came out sounding like i meant it to and i figured out how to do all the things (like the 3 things) i wanted to do in garageband. it has been a SLOW learning process for me, but i'm getting there.

i think you have to enable downloads on soundcloud or something? maybe you should just email it to me.

will do!

That totally rocks, LL. Drumming is great, solid and driving and kind of menacing.

thanks! honestly.
this is the last page of the collage thing that the words are from, it's people stocking a bomb shelter

btw crüt your noise was really noisy! you're dedicated.

thanks! once again you can really only see me hands, briefly, in that video. I am on the right, behind the chair, scraping a cymbal.

That cover would be a great 7" sleeve (and the song should be the a-side).

crut, that's fantastic shit. Reminds me sonically a little of Diagram A.

Would make something from LL drum samples...

I got up this morning and made this for some reason:

Voice Piece for Cooler Fan and Hairdryer

And if you can tolerate that, this might top you off https://soundcloud.com/doglatin/the-fieldworker-improv-guitar

(FWIW these are attempts to make things before I've even woken up properly. What Flamboyant Goon was saying on another thread, being half-awake sure makes you come up with ideas you'd otherwise never do).

intro for a new track. dark ambient sorta stuff

Nice - reminiscent of early TG mixed with field recordings from a Soviet era tower block.

giving my new keyboard - guitar - loop pedal setup a runout despite not yet having a fully functional amp*, really i wanna be herbie hancock and john mclaughlin at the same time, but having absolutely no knowledge or ability transforms it into something that may only make sense in my head.

*i ordered one and then i received an email saying the container it was on sank and so it's now at the bottom of the ocean. this augurs well for my musical future

Wow thanks snoball. Big compliment!

Feel a bit funny putting this here as its not secret borad, but this is what my new band sound like. Be kind.

neat. shares a kinship with the FP/WIAIWYA thing (inasmuch as there can be one?)

you guys sound great!!

Want to hear more

shares a kinship with the FP/WIAIWYA thing (inasmuch as there can be one?)

Actually only just seen this - we really don't think of ourselves in that way! Obviously I've put out records on both those labels so it's no insult, but in the main we feel pretty different to that stuff.

Did we ever post this?

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZVk_R6Bgvnk

R did such a great clip for that.

I may regret posting this, but this was the original version of the track I did for the NIN comp. Its not that I hated it so much as I knew it wouldnt fit, somehow. But hey, think Eurovision.

https://soundcloud.com/neverembers/disappointed-demo

Would watch that Eurovision.

Would totally buy a 12" of Undertow with that track as the flip.

Man I love this thread. so much variety and good stuff. Awesome Slum of Legs vid.

Thanks chews!

I'm still finding it hard to process the fact people think my music's any good, I'm still my worst critic. I guess thats a good thing.

I would be interested in taking a crack at making an extended more dancedloor orientated remix of undertow if you were up for it.

Hmmm.Interesting idea.

Awesome track, Trayce :D

ya very cool. On reflection, wouldn't ILX pre-covers Eurovision be the best thing imaginable?

goontie, thanks gosh!

and yeah i would love to do some sort of bombastic Italian goth pop dance track haha

thank u internet for bringing macca down to my level

for some reason I can't post in the musical life thread so I'm going to add a bit of pseudo-spam here and see if it's just that thread or this whole forum. Here's something I did! https://soundcloud.com/eeeeeein/gtr3 I don't know what I'm doing but I think some parts sound quite nice.

hey that worked. still getting errors for the other thread though. weird.

Anyone else having a problem with their Soundcloud page? I went to my page and it looked different and told me I was using an old version of Soundcloud, asking if I wanted to switch to the newer version. I switched and it looked like it usually does again except now the songs are playing at an extremely low volume.

Your Soundcloud page seems fine to me.

Yeah, I see that there's a volume control bar for listening now at the top and mine was set low. Thanks Sund4r.
