Recording Challenge #3 (Write a song in the ' Raga None' Scale)
Re: Recording Challenge #3
Here you go - He's mine.
I actually found this scale quite awkward to do anything with... I chose a random scale where it was possible to form a decent number of major and minor triads.. but I found this one quite difficult to use and didn't really like the sound of the quirky bits in it... but I wanted to chose one that I'd never used before to make the challenge fair.

Re: Recording Challenge #3
Nice. You managed to get it sounding very in line with your usual song.
Interesting that a number of us were able to get that kind of result.
The lyric very much have that "life is like soccer in that my mom signed me up and expects me to do my best even tho I don't particularly like soccer" vibe.

Kinda yeah! haha. Bubba actually made me think of it... when he said that he's not interested in this challenge at all, knew that it wouldn't work for him and he wouldn't find it inspiring... but he wasn't willing to even try it. But yeah, you got the general vibe.vomitHatSteve wrote: ↑Thu Oct 24, 2019 11:34 am Nice. You managed to get it sounding very in line with your usual song.

Did you find the same as me - writing a vocal melody and then actually singing it was a right pain in the arse 'cos you're using intervals that you wouldn't normally.

Re: Recording Challenge #3
JD,
Guitars turned out really good on this one man. really good. The tone on your solo sounds super good!! Thats pat on the back worthy dude. All the sounds sound great actually. Bass sounds really good to despite your issues with the wiring lol. It kind of does sound like something you would have written regardless. It has that JD flavor all over it. And with no way of really knowing if you followed all your choose your own adventure rules i can't comment on how well you stuck to the script? but i can only assume where you picked the challenge you did it justice? I am really no voice on anything but the mix and song as whole.

Unless I've made a mistake I've stuck to the rules!
The solo is just a TubeScreamer... so nothing out of the ordinary there.

Re: Recording Challenge #3
A few times, yeah. There were a lot of Es that I wanted to sing, which is basically THE note you're not allowed to use in D raga. If you A/B my first demo with the final mix, you might be able to spot them.
Re: Recording Challenge #3
I was having the same problem with singing B... felt like it was supposed t9 be there but wasn't.vomitHatSteve wrote: ↑Thu Oct 24, 2019 8:27 pmA few times, yeah.

I agree with the others that it sounds very much like you. I think the rhythmic make up of the song is mainly why. You have a certain signature groove that is prevalent in most of you stuff. Great sounding guitars.
I am still in the process of writing mine. But it's coming.
Good work.
Re: Recording Challenge #3
Cheers, Tony. Yours should be interesting if you go for your usual picked acoustic style.musicturtle wrote: ↑Fri Oct 25, 2019 10:52 amVery cool JD.JD01 wrote: ↑Wed Oct 23, 2019 1:13 pm Here you go - He's mine.

Good work.
The chorus guitars were quite basic, one is the crunch channel of my amp. The other is a Klon into the clean channel. The solo is just a TS on the crunch channel.
The verse guitars are more complicated. Varying amounts of overdrive, chorus, phaser and delay.

Wow, fantastic! Great job on the vocals on this one JD. Love both the verse and chorus melodies and performances. Guitars sound great as usual. Nice moving bass line too. Nice job all around!JD01 wrote: ↑Wed Oct 23, 2019 1:13 pm Here you go - He's mine.
