Woot. There was a photographer at the last Ten To Five Project gig. I don't know what happened to my head, but otherwise it's a pretty cool picture. Photo credit Grant Gibson

Okay, I take back anything I said about Fruity Loops. I've been playing with FL Studio 6, and I love it. Way more versatile than Live. I made this last night to test out a few concepts I learned. I absolutely love it.

Looking at your band's site, Steve, seems like you guys are keeping busy! Sounds like a lot of fun... I wonder if I can rope my friend Joe into doing a recording. He's an awesome bassist, and I think it'd be neat to have some humanization in my tracks.

Wee, Fruity Loops rocks!

From what I've heard, almost anything is better than Cubase, but I'm just used to it.

I had a gig coming up with Acidfairy so I thought I would try doing some sort of acid type thing too. So I wrote this new track "20 Bomber". This is a recording of me playing it live... well as live as dance music gets... at the gig last night.

(7MB MP3)

It was done with a sampler and two analog synths hooked up to a laptop running Cubase.

Sounds neat from what I can hear of it. :X

Nice samples, hehehe. :D

I'm working on a drum and bass track right now.

[edit] And now I don't want to share it.

The problem with starting out is that with each piece, you learn so much, so by the time you finish it you know 10 things that could have been done way better.

Ok, I've been messing about with a track in Fruityloops for over a week now, and its been going nowhere. Listening to a track by Aphrodite inspired me to try and make something with an organ in it, so endless messing around tonight resulted in this weird track with some vocoded lyrics telling you what not to do with a capacitor...

I didn't actually finish the track, the recording was made doing everything live (like the filters, and switching the patterns).

Wow.

Just... wow.

Thought some of you guys might like that..

Oh and I finally listened to your track, Avalanche. I like the sounds a lot, but it's too repetetive.

Digging up an old thread I know, but today we have our first show! I'll say how it went tomorrow.
Also, we have a new song finished. I like it better than Bullet, but we'll see how the audience reacts. Hopefully it'll be recorded soon.

Edit- The show was terrible. The guy working the PA apparently had a grudge against metal or something. He didn't so much sabotage us as make no effort whatsoever. The other guitarist's amp wasn't mic'd the whole first song, the drums were way too loud, only two of the monitors were hooked up (and they weren't hooked up correctly, they played only my guitar through both monitors), it was terrible. Moral: Play ONLY at Swayze's and the Masquerade from now on

ok, about time this thread was revived

The following mp3 is a recording made several years ago now, in somebody's living room. Back in those days I had minimal recording equipment, and not much knowledge of electronics.

We did the recording with a standard PC with a cheapo sound card, and an ex-BBC microphone. Everything was done multitrack, with me first recording the drums (with the single microphone just swinging in front of them) and then I made everyone play along to the drums, which I played through a single speaker. It was just a case of 'use what we had' we were all skint, and a few of the leads were actually held together with sellotape. It took all afternoon, and was recorded in a cracked version of cooledit (now Adobe Audition). Recently the band split up, and they won't mind me posting this here as it's old stuff.

Considering the circumstances at the time, we are all pretty impressed how I managed to pull this one off.

The Mp3 Linkage (3.2MB)

See what you think. Be kind, remember it was recorded in a dusty living room in an afternoon.

I recently (like on Friday night) met up with the lead guitarist (for the first time in 4 years) and we got wasted, and he commented on how the vocals always sounded like they were being sung through a telephone - but that's the sound they wanted at the time. So today I've found a 1930's phone handset with carbon microphone, and I'm building him a preamp for it so it can be plugged into an XLR jack
