Description : This song is a bit of a fusion between Rock, Techno with an Angry Emo Edge to it. It's about coming to the realization that the other person in a failed relationation was never there for you at all.
This is a work still in progress, up to the 7th Demo.
I first recorded a punchy almost rap singing style vocal track, a sort of thing you might expect in a Linkin Park song. In the pre chorus I sang some parts in A Minor, over top of the driving Em, G, D, C. The Chorus I broken into smooth hooky chorus. I added a Lower Darker Vocal track after some people suggested it. One person turned me onto The song "Nobody" by Skindred, I had never tried singing in a dark low voice like that before. Was a new experience, plus a bit of a challenge to do it with the kind of mic.
This was the first original song I came up with using MAGIX Music Maker (basic edition). The Drum track is from the stock drum loops. I used the Silver Synth plug-in for the Bass lines. Used a few other loops for extra textural overlays. I played the Guitar tracks myself. I did add a second clean guitar track to the chorus and used the Wha effects of Music Maker. So the driving guitar riff is really two tracks laid down of me playing the indentical thing. One Dirty an one clean with the Wha effects.
I produced the first demo in the matter of a weekend, while getting the feel of how the software worked. Following weekend went back and added the second vocal track and made additional adjustments.
I'm hoping to totally redo this song, after I decide upon and purchase software and Hardware. Any feedback on this work in progress would be appreciated.

If you have time take a listen and give iDude some feedback.
Yeah I can hear some differing directions happening on this one..it rocks along though..I think Rie's right about putting up the instrument volume a bit...cool tune...cheers planet
this is a cool style, I love that groovy rock tracks ....
interesting guitar sounds ....
but the mix needs a little work, you should take care of the balance of the single tracks, I think the vocals are a little too loud, they cover up the instrumentals too much, also you should work with panning to get the mix more transparent .....
but apart from that is a very cool song, powerful, groovy and driving ...
good direction ... you rock!!!
peace, rei

Description : This is my newest creation, at a stage very near to completion. No third-party mastering or mixing, as with all my tracks. Just have to fix a few tiny things. I FINALLY WAS ABLE TO MIX EVERYTHING IN THE SAME SESSION. This song has all human-played instruments - no quantization or MIDI! My brother does all the vocals except for the interlude part, which I do. My other brother plays the rhythm guitar (a Gibson Les Paul Custom - only one of 12 in the world!!) and I play the accompanying guitar (a Johnny Mar Jag and PRS). He has a lot of guitars :P A good friend of ours, Ronnie, plays the bass and another friend, Freddie, plays the drums. The drum track was done in one take (had to use an electric drum set due to time constraints - but acoustic kits are so much better). Overall, pretty satisfied with the result. Let me know your thoughts.
Description : Feel free to check out the lyrics video on YT as well :) This is a new track based on the great vocals by Ashes and Dreams! Again, a mix of electronic/progressive/rock, any feedback is welcome
Description : The first track I sing on. Cheap stage mic & no fancy plugins. Heavily guitar laden to the point it's got a bit of a shoegaze thing going on. I pulled the lyrics out of my ass & yes, they're a bit silly.
Description : BIG UPDATE 26/02/2014 - So, this was an 18 min track that I have now successfully split in two. 2nd half I uploaded a few weeks ago (Things That Should Always Be, with the bouncy 2 min reggae intro). This is the first half, which has a new mix, a mega chill, meditative ending and a little jazz thrown in for good measure. Takes a few minutes for beat to really kick in. Constantly evolving electric guitar, bass guitar, acoustic drums and lead banjo driven by fat, busy 80BPM grooves with a bit of a reggae and shuffle feel. Also: synth choir voices, dulcimer, violin, cello, shimmering pads. Builds up gradually to nice and rocking and then gets taken back down for the big comedown chill. I really don't know what sort of genre this is except 'far out'. I think it sounds more like a live band than one guy playing instruments and manipulating a DAW. Not my best track but a bit of blissful, sunny island fun. Real positive vibe here so I hope you give it a chance to unfold and unfurl. Sit back, clear your schedule and immerse yourself in these trippy sonic experiments cooked up deep in my off-planet underground laboratory. I have to send the MP3 to Earth via space courier (not cheap).
Description : This track was like the inhale after an exhale of aggressive industrial-electro-sludge tracks that I had put out that summer and fall. This was the more reserved, and introspective winter track. It's nothing spectacular, but I still really enjoy it. I hope you do too. Take care. V.
