What do you sound like on Nu-ILX?

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

I made a Marvin Gaye remix thing for a friend a while ago

not quite sure how i feel about the fact that everything i do now is dodgy lo-fi new age.

(i only recorded the last seven minutes of an hour long loop pedal jam here, woulda been nice to have it all and be able to edit it into something tight but eh i'd never have gotten around to it.)

We've just released a new (free stream and download) song which we produced at home, and we've got a new Bandcamp page too: http://discozhivago.bandcamp.com/ feedback appreciated as always.

very cool dl, a lot going on but it works nicely. how long have you guys been together now?

digging that remix too, owen.

Thanks Merdeyeux. I know what you mean about 'a lot going on'. Our young drummer's keen to get into production but I'm always having to rein him back a bit or else he starts adding extra melodies and effects where they're not supposed to be. We recorded the stems in his front room using Reason 6.5 - that's Phil singing lead, not me (we all take turns to sin lead on various songs). The mixing and editing was started by our drummer but I ended up wading in and cleaning it up in the end as it was getting way too complicated. This is the result of when things get piled on and as much can be subtracted as not to cause hurt feelings. We've been doing stuff as a three piece for about 2-3 years although I'd say we've only been a band with recognisable songs for about a year.

Couple of mistakes, but this is a bit of acoustic picking work I came up with

Decided to upload an earlier mix of the old record, which I think sounds better than the record:

nice playing dl

new EP out today :)
http://hushhushrecords.bandcamp.com/album/dont-miss-u

woohoooooooo!!!!!

oooh, ramzi sounds great on the first track!

xpost!

listening to it now, it's on spotify already too. sounds rad.

thanks dudes! fyi there was a little mix-up where an earlier version of the master was sent out digital distribution, which apparently is hard to rectify (you can send out a replacement, but can't control whether or not the various streaming services/stores take it). not a big deal but i wonder which one ended up on spotify.

not really original music, but me singing through an old Rodgers and Hammerstein standard in an effort to get my voice back in shape for this benefit I'm singing at Saturday. not well produced (cuz I suck at that stuff) so it clips, but....here it is!

Enjoying this, Jordan.

Yeah thats a great sound, very lush and Junior Boysesque. Surm your voice is fab! x

me trying "Being Alive" from Company:

http://www.mediafire.com/listen/4u07spj90k5uwn6/Being_Alive.mp3

really need to invest in an actual mic, but more or less I'm trying to keep myself active as ain't been singing much in the last 6 months and have a hectic caroling season coming up

Very bad footage of a semi-poorly attempted show, but I definitely had the most fun I've ever had at this one. We're definitely improving. There's quite a bit of improvised stuff going on here

and this is us doing some acoustic stuff in a pub https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=olIswD_rJqo

A quick cover of a Tom Waits song done in Reggae style: https://soundcloud.com/doglatin/cold-cold-ground-tom-waits

bit worried that if I get less amateurish I'll just be The Edge.

first new one in a long time

I've posted a lot of these tracks already on this thread but I feel like I'm moving away from doing the loop/sample-based music I've been working on for the past couple of years and shifting back to guitar-based stuff so to put a cap on an era I made a soundcloud playlist of my favorites - https://soundcloud.com/scarequotes-1/sets/nobodies-do-it-better

i missed some of these, or at least i forgot about them, 'revolving restaurant motion sickness' is really nice.

thanks again though!

haha, i had some deja vu while i was posting that, which is why i included the caveat.

Yeah I'm happy with that direction where I was using loops and samples but also doing some more live guitar and bass on top of it. I think if I want to keep doing stuff I like that I need to figure out how to do some more "songwriting" with it; i.e. having more structure and direction and variation.

new song, album is out next week, featuring amazing vocals by someone who i first heard on THIS VERY THREAD (i think): http://thump.vice.com/words/download-chants---ru4real-feat-ramzi-awn

Great stuff.

Hello all. Wondering if I might be able to get some feedback on this - particularly the mixing/mastering? The drums were recorded in a studio albeit on a slightly schonky drumkit. The rest was done in my room, mostly DI'd and then mixed in Reason 7.

https://soundcloud.com/doglatin/handle2-0demo

I'm def gonna re-record some of the backing vocals cos they're out, but I wanna make the best of the admittedly limited source material I have at hand. A friend with experience said there was an abundance of low-end, although I'm having a bit of trouble hearing it. I'm also having difficulty making the snare sound good. Any other tips/feedback anyone can offer here?

low end is a little uneven but doesn't sound absurd. the drums are a bit muffled, but overall the balance seems fine to me

*absurdly abundant

I'm playing the Tele above btw. (no-one remembers me here, I guess :)

Awesome video, welcome back.

I sound like absurd party jams and I have a new EP out Monday!

^fire. makes me wish i was a dj.

^____^

Noise Joint is kicking my neighbours' arses right now!!

I tried tweaking the mix on the track I posted the other day. Thanks electricsound for the feedback. Hope this mix is a bit better but other people's ears and knowledge is much appreciated.

https://soundcloud.com/doglatin/handle3-3

Noise Joint is wild. I love all the fast cuts. totally groovy throughout.

I feel like we am almost ready to start sending some demos out to various labels, but I still have some doubts. If you have a listen to our newest song, please let me know if you think a dance label would like to find it in their inbox ;)

*we are

My bestest bud J and I had been working on this cover for what seems like freaking forever: after it took him ages to bed down the music, I then remained unhappy with my vocal takes for MONTHS every time I tried.

The other night, with fading laryngitis voice, I thought I'd give it a huskier take for lolz. And it ended up sounding really good.

Cover of "KinkyLove" by Nancy Sinatra, thusly:

aaaaand my EP

Thanks, Ahab!

fucking fire, so the name is approprate

'clipclap' is my jam

"Heat Ra" is rad - I can feel the synth at 1:50 in my teeth!?!?
