Umm, Moderator's, a question?...

MR. CREEPER · August 16, 2013, 06:17:31 PM

After much time trying to find musicians in my area, that didn't either want to play covers, or Metalcore/dressup I decided to start recording some of my own newer material. It is very lo-fi, as I am using just what I currently have left for equiptment (M low watt all tube amps, and my guitars-no more big stacks with no band to use them with) and recorded on my Tascam recorder with CD burner, using a drum machine, etc.
I am in no way an engineer or studio genius, but I CONSTANTLY have song ideas coming out, and needed an outlet. Naturally, it's very one-sided, as I am the only musician creating this ( as I wish I had others to bounce ideas off from) but it needed to be done, for some feeling of fruition.
Anyhow, I was wondering who would be best to send this to, as far as you all are concerned. I am not very technical minded when it comes to computers(never have been, kinda old school that way) but I would like to share with fair minded individuals, who would appreciate it for what it is, and who knows...maybe it could lead to some musical connections to work with(if I am lucky enough). Just wondering. If I am way off here, let me know and I'll drop it, or look elsewhere. Cheers.

I'm no mod, but...

1) If you don't have a Soundcloud account, make one & start uploading.

2) Then post that shit here: http://riffrocklives.com/forum/index.php?topic=2494.0

3) Feedback and/or hijinx will ensue.

burn cd on tascam , stick cd into computer, import into itunes.
then soundcloud, bandcamp etc etc account to share with others

if you wish to create mp3 verisons, right click on song in itunes, then on create mp3 version (retitle mp3 song with mp3 at end so you can tell em apart).

I have some songs saved to iTunes. I can convert those to soundcloud? How about bandcamp? I have a bandcamp. Couldn't get the name on soundcloud because some dude playing world music on a keyboard has it. I have it in Facebook and bandcamp though

MR. CREEPER · August 16, 2013, 07:39:08 PM

Much love Chovie, and Co. I will attempt to do this thing.

MR. CREEPER · August 16, 2013, 07:45:24 PM

I may have to employ the help of my child. She's 22 ( as I am 42) and is leaps and bounds ahead of me.

MR. CREEPER · August 16, 2013, 09:22:49 PM

When one is left to their own devices, shit happens. Dig it, don't, whatever. Cheers.

Absolutely. AS long as you have the tunes on your pooter and they're yours, upload em. Let's hear it.

Demon Lung · August 16, 2013, 09:52:29 PM

Are you sure that you're ready for that? Give me your email. That's the best I can do at the moment.

Demon Lung · August 16, 2013, 09:55:41 PM

I mean I can't do all that noodley shit that you can do but i think I do alright.

VOLVO))) · August 16, 2013, 09:56:36 PM

Another option is to drop a picture into windows movie maker, and drop the tune behind it, then upload it onto youtube. It's pretty easy.

I did this in about six minutes, and my band now has youtube coverage.

viola.

(I know the vocals suck, I wasn't there to re-record them for him.)

Demon Lung · August 16, 2013, 10:00:17 PM

Can I do it with my phone. I might get a new PC tomorrow. Not sure yet... Until then I can't access iTunes or bandcamp

VOLVO))) · August 16, 2013, 10:01:49 PM

You can attach shit to emails, Alan, skraight to Rager, and he'll post it for us to hear!

Demon Lung · August 16, 2013, 10:03:36 PM

Are you ready for that? Im not sure that I trust rager to do anything for me.

Demon Lung · August 16, 2013, 10:04:35 PM

I think I'll just post them when I'm capable of posting them. Not sure that I trust anyone to do it for me...

VOLVO))) · August 16, 2013, 10:08:24 PM

I could post them as private on youtube.

Demon Lung · August 16, 2013, 10:08:56 PM

Give me your email.

I'm pretty low tech with everything that I use. I recorded it to my iPhone using a basic ibanez a basic practice amp and a pod xt.

MR. CREEPER · August 16, 2013, 10:16:52 PM

I'm not trying to be an asshole, but did this shit work?, or do I suck that much?

VOLVO))) · August 16, 2013, 10:28:46 PM

Sounds good, worked perfectly. Glad soundcloud was easy enough to get workin'!

guitars sound great.
