Hey gang, I have a new song called, "Domestic Terminology" on my new account in ReverbNation as SoundCloud has been giving me grief uploading my files.
The BIAB soloists were the trumpet, sax, & keyboard. The rest of the noise comes either from my guitar or from an assortment of samples and sound bytes.
Hope you enjoy it!
Cheers!

Eclectically funk-ay--hard to classify beyond that, which is good. I like it a lot.
I went ahead and listened to "A Hall of Oats," too. You've got a way with a mix, friend. Very nice.

Could you specify your tracks a little more? Where does the bass come from? I like it. Guenter

well, THAT was an interesting vegetable soup of sound!
I kept waiting for a full-blown chord progression to emerge, but the farthest it evolved was to a 3 chord groove.
In spite of that, you kept my attention the whole time, and the song ended with me feeling quite pleased about having listened.
Regarding the mix. yes, good job... that's much of what made it interesting to me.
What really fascinates is the fact that you took a bunch of loops from various sources, rolled them together with some RT instruments and all that disparity ended up being a cohesive entity that made me tap my foot.
Cool.
<seconds>
Now you must make more vegetable soup.

Sorry for the very late reply. Vacation season and all that stuff.
Ryzard - Thank you for your kind words on mastering. That has been something I have been working on for years. One of the things I began doing that works for me is playing the song in my DAW at a very low volume while listening on my headset. At that low level I am looking for anything that is jumping out of where it belongs. Then, I clean up any spots where that happens to the best of my ability. Lastly, my DAW has a final mixing function where it will balance the overall sound so that the song plays at a level that trims down the clipping. Once I raise the volume to normal listening what happens is all the individual tracks are where I like in the whole mix.
Boehm - You are right. I tend to forget to list these types of things. I should know better when interacting with other songwriters! The bass track actually comes with my DAW. I use CakeWalk Sonar Studio (Sorry Real Band. I have been using Cakewalk for a couple of decades and am too deep into it to change now) The Bass, along with the others, are loops that I laid down first and put the live guitar over it where I thought it would best fit amidst all the activity taking place in all the loops. I have to say, the idea was from listening to your songs. I really liked the edgey songwriting style you have. It got me to think outside of the box I am in.
Pat - I Love it. Vegetable Soup of Sound! I think I found my Genre title. For years, I have called it Short Attention Span Music for the lyrically challenged. Because I cannot sing, I tend to make the music non-standard so that it keeps the listener engaged and wondering what is going to happen next. Don't be surprised if you see my stealing your analogy for a genre name.
Thanks Danny C!
