Re: New release on bandcamp - Your City Experience

Thanks for the feedback! glowrak guy yeah I have a habit of writing long intros...while I do feel they add to the overall "storytelling" I agree that I'd lose the audience if I utilize that too often. I appreciate you calling that out, it's something I'll take away and try to improve upon ...

New release on bandcamp - Your City Experience

Hi all, I'm excited to release my largest project to date. 11 tracks, I'd call it an ambient concept album with a dash of vaporwave and synthwave inspiration. I had concepts, outlines, partially written out songs/music for this project going back 4 years and I finally decided to resurrect some of th...

Re: Going rascal (driven rock/prog track)

This is really cool! The drum programming you've done is awesome. I think it's mixed really well too; great job on this track! Could there be more of this from you in the future?? :D

My studio PC went up in smoke...looking for an upgrade...

Hello everyone, Title of this post pretty well sums it up...I had an ancient Lenovo M71e (CPU. Intel Core i3 (2nd Gen) 2100 / 3.1 GHz.) that I bought second-hand on eBay. A few weeks ago it finally kicked the bucket, now I'm looking for an upgrade for a studio PC. I plan to use it strictly for audio...

Re: What is your favorite female vocalist?

I'd have to say Floor Jansen is my favorite comteporary female vocalists right now...classically trained but very flexible in terms of how she can make her voice "fit" into completely different styles. Any Nightwish fans here will know for sure what I mean... :D . She posted a number of vi...

Re: which song is coming out of your speakers right now, the sequel

I just started getting in to Daniel Johnston and I can honestly say I'm completely captivated. I started off with one of his early albums ( https://youtu.be/AW2cmIIomac ); lots of music critics have said that the pure childlike innocence in his lyrics is unparalleled despite all of his inner demons....

Re: MIDI interface success stories?

bluzee thanks for the suggestion; I haven't tried the cables you mentioned. I'll keep it in mind but I'd rather explore a hardware solution so as to keep my USB connections limited. Appreciate it! khz I'll take a look at that device, thanks! Beyond these 2, I suppose I'll have to keep coming the in...

MIDI interface success stories?

Hello all, Looking for a way to streamline my workflow when it comes to using MIDI devices. Over the years I've acquired a few MIDI devices, and I'll probably amass more before I'm dead :lol: :lol: . At present, I'm looking for a way to be able to connect all of my MIDI devices to a single interface...

Re: Mountain Foothills Hotel Vol. 2

folderol and Michael Willis thank you both for the comments! I'm really looking to incorporate more sax into the current project I'm working on if I can make it "make sense" :D . Michael Willis I have hopes that my production and composition skills improve with each release I put out ther...

Re: Mountain Foothills Hotel Vol. 2

Thanks so much for the reply and analysis! I'm always looking for ways to improve :). Glad you liked the sax parts in "Moonlight Through the Blinds", I decided to throw those in last-minute. Zyn is usually my go-to synth for so many projects just because of how deep its parameter-editing i...

Hello everyone! I've just uploaded a new EP to my bandcamp page (https://dreaminflannel.bandcamp.com/album/mountain-foothills-hotel-volume-2). As always I appreciate the honest feedback - both praise and criticism! I used LMMS to create the vast majority of this EP, and used Ardour for mixing the fi...

Re: Escape from Mixing Hell

I totally agree with taking a break, along with only mixing in short little chunks of time. Like everyone else has been saying, and I've fallen into this "trap" myself, it's super easy to get sucked into the tiny minute details and lose sight of the big picture. Also, I think it's importan...

Re: Why Do You Write Your Own Music?

I'm trying to bring something beautiful in to the world. For my personal and evolving definition of 'beautiful'. The world needs beautiful things, I believe I have something to offer, and no one else is going to do it for me. Just trying to pull my own weight when it comes to humanity and our share...
