Mr. Not Posted January 15, 2012 Share Posted January 15, 2012 (edited) Hubby Ken. Bass / Guitar / Acoustics perhaps further developments in the future, such as keys and drums. But where I'm bad at the three instruments above, I'm much worse at the rest. This thread is dedicated to my solo works...

Mr. Not Posted January 15, 2012 Author Share Posted January 15, 2012 (edited) Put this all together within a few hours today.. It's no masterpiece, a lot is improv, but all the riffs and such were created today. This little EP reflects on what's going on in my life right now... Here's the download link: http://www.megaupload.com/?d=HLBTQR6C and if you want to listen online, here's track 3 on soundcloud: http://soundcloud.com/kennethelp/self-help-sacremento http://i.imgur.com/GNJtd.jpghttp://i.imgur.com/HLNep.jpg (apologies for production quality. i hope you enjoy whatever you can regardless...)

Yeah, the production was a little rough, but it could have been much worse! The songs were enjoyable. My comment would be to develop them a bit more, that'll help with length, and also to play a little tighter - the instruments were a bit loose and didn't quite snyc up with each other.

Mr. Not Posted January 16, 2012 Author Share Posted January 16, 2012 five years ago i didn't know how to play at all and just now, soon after christmas, i am finally capable of recording stuff so i'm more excited than anything else. a work in progress Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ghostworks Posted January 16, 2012 Share Posted January 16, 2012 (track 3) there's a lot to like here (especially the intro, very Loren Mazzacane/Daniel Lanois) of primary concern is getting your recording levels in check - on this track, way too 'hot' - you've got unpleasant distortion/clipping that's easily corrected back that gain off and watch your input levels - if you're up over '0 dB', it's probably gonna clip Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr. Not Posted January 20, 2012 Author Share Posted January 20, 2012 (edited) I'm very disappointed in track 4 on BW2IO: http://i.imgur.com/vRrQt.png some great riffs in there but needs better transitions and quality.. more soundcloud: I: 2) http://soundcloud.com/kennethelp/the-manhopper (only worthwhile for the solo @ 0:58 - 1:29 ) 3) http://soundcloud.com/kennethelp/self-help-sacremento II: 2) http://soundcloud.com/kennethelp/picture-frame (it gets bad) 3) http://soundcloud.com/kennethelp/smokin-groovie Edited January 20, 2012 by Ovningskora Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tommy Sawyer Posted January 22, 2012 Share Posted January 22, 2012 Listened to part 2... Production a little better. I thought your playing was much tighter. Loved Smokin' Groovie, as short as it was. Remorse Arrives I thought was pretty good! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought your playing was much tighter. Loved Smokin' Groovie, as short as it was. Remorse Arrives I thought was pretty good! Thanks. Again, I am very disappointed in Remorse Arrives personally, it's my first approach at a prog instrumental and I feel I failed... Much too many silent gaps! but, I guess.. It's worth checking out at the least, for: 1:20 - 1:34 (my next epic should have more sections like this) 2:12 - 3:17 (great, haunting acoustic part) 3:42 - 3:57 (2112 esque) 4:22 - 4:49 (guitar solo) so - wow!! one third, or: 2:01 / 6:03 is worth listening to! That's a prog dud. The main riff is boring, just an E minor and C chord... All I could pull off for making a 6 minute song in a day... But, the song contains my first written solo... Meaning, no improv whatsoever Edited January 23, 2012 by Ovningskora Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. Not Posted January 23, 2012 Author Share Posted January 23, 2012 Lost this shitty guitar recently (the one I've been recording with): http://www.guitarlamp.com/DefLeppard.jpg So instead, I will be getting my shitty squire re=stringed this tuesday, then probably will have a single new song up by Friday..
