Calling all GLP musicians .. musiciantard appreciation thread - post your original songs and music here

It would be nice to converse with fellow GLPers about things like recording tips and tricks, hardware used, etc... I struggled for so many years with recording and production.. Good DAW software can be hard to find too.

Your original recordings of cover songs are welcome here too.. It doesn't have to be only original singer/songwriter stuff.

Not to piss ya off but that is called comercial music

Because you misspelled commercial? Or because musicians here on GLP have all made it and are celebrating their commercial success.

Got lotsa trax ain't nobody ever heard. Hell, no one I socialize with even knows I'm a producer. I'm a closet musician.

My kids will turn it into something.

Thousands of original tax, just sitting there.

FL Studio
Reason
Pro Tools
A decent korg Workstation
A Boeheringer iAxe

Trax, not tax

I would post tunes if I knew how.
not on facebook, soundcloud, c.d.baby. . .nothing, just
my own home recording, sitting here gathering dust.

I posted a track in the original 'Musicians' Thread and have since dug up a few more songs from my first bands demo tape and thought I'd share.

I'm singing.



The Unbeliever - Sailors Grave

Lyrics:

Why must we feed her to the sharks
For has she not been through enough?

This was not my choice
I know she can't swim in the sea
And every time she looks at me
I look into her crying soul

For on this day
Innocence cannot be reclaimed
Her death is the price we pay

For this I am sorry
But your silence told us to proceed
I truly hope you make it to the shore alive

For on this day
Innocence cannot be reclaimed
As you fall to the sharks below
Promise me you will open your eyes and see
that one day you will be set free

Soon you will surely see
This is how it's meant to be

And when the waves come crashing down
You are now to me
Just a memory

For this I am sorry
But your silence told us to proceed
I truly hope you make it to the shore alive


--------------------------------

Kinda lame, but I was a kid when I wrote that and didn't know what the fuck I was talking about.

But yeah cheers for listening!

Great thread mate . I liked your tune , quite original . Synth was spot on , but two or three guitar stabs seemed slightly off the beat . Its a good track and worth punching in and getting it perfect .

Nice.. You know you can post them as private tracks on soundcloud? The links expire after 30 days (i think)... if you ever want to share them with us.

How do you do your recording? I/we could help you figure out how to get them uploaded.

If this is you, I must say it's very well done...

I think it's pretty good... Death metal isn't really my forte overall, but I've always loved the drums on death metal.

Thanks for the listen! I agree, there are a few spots that need some tightening up. I'm going to work on that a bit tonight.. Thanks for critiquing

Its short. I made a back track and played a little solo over it.

What do you think?

Here's another video I made years ago covering the solo for Pink Floyd's Time

I think you'd benefit from playing with a metronome or some kind of click/drum track. It's a bit out of time, but I can tell you have some skills on guitar.

Why not record some newer stuff? I imagine you've gotten even better over the past 4 years.

No. You are not worthy.

Hate to burst your bubble but MUSIC IS NOW DEAD. I am a lifelong musician and gave up everything because all of my fav artists are dying off. The Sxit they call music today is nothing more than advertising for multiculturalism or busy, overproduced noise. I love ambient drone stuff which is sort of what your stuff is trying to be, just loose the dance beat. Music is a great hobby and keeps you out of trouble, but now, corporations hire robot musicians to put together carefully planned garbage that is in tune with the millenial brainwashing; NO MORE INDIVIDUAL MUSICIANS PRODUCING THEIR OWN STUFF. Also, too many bands and genres, back in the 60=70's , there were a handful of bands,,,,now there are millions all copying each others crap.

If you hate rap you'll love this

I've remastered the Rain track and fixed some of those stabs. There are still a couple parts that might seem a little off time, but it's the best I could do.

You're right, but it's not bots producing the pop music of today. It's two dudes. Literally: [link to nypost.com (secure)]

Thanks for your feedback on my stuff... I'm trying to develop a 'voice' using modern tools and automated AI drums since finding a drummer has always been a tough task for me.

Check out the earliest 3 tracks on my original link. It's 100% authentic minus the AI drum track:

Stay Awake: [link to soundcloud.com (secure)]
Borrow: [link to soundcloud.com (secure)]

Keep an eye out on my soundcloud for new licks. You might like what you hear.

Slow this down to 0.25 using the speed controls in youtube ...

It actually has a beat, bassline and possibly even a melody!

Recorded @ my friends house.
