Are you hearing voices again, Caaron?


Again? Do you have times that they stop? confused


Thanks for such a fun song post! Honestly, I needed that.

Just addressing a few points I feel need further clarification.


Quote:
Regarding your nits and crits...Since there is no compression on the bass it's interesting that you "hear it".


Please read what I said again....

Quote:
On this playback system the drums and bass were lacking a bit. So I fired up the lappy and used cans..... not much difference actually. Wondering about the compression levels on this since when the drums and bass does come in, you can hear it's there but it really doesn't make a big difference in the levels.


I didn't say I could hear the compression.... I said the bass and drums didn't make much of a substantial difference when they came in regarding the overall energy levels of the song and that I was wondering about the compression levels referring to the compression on the entire song. And please note the first four words.... "On this playback system" Also, and I do understand this, some of the PG real tracks are already compressed and there's nothing we can do to uncompress them. Gotta use what we have and make do.

Quote:
It's always good to get out of our self-imposed boxes and write stuff that we're not really 100% up to speed on or comfortable with. That's the kind of experience that helps us grow as writers and musicians. So.. kudo's on doing that with this song.


I used the word OUR not YOUR.... meaning all of us and used those same plural group words in the rest of the comment.... our, we're, us. Then I complimented you on having done that very thing, getting out of the box so to speak. That's the problem with words.... so easily misunderstood.

Good song ... carry on. Taking the advice from the title of your song.... None of it matters.... wink


The Green Day Basket Case song is good.... loved the bass and drums in that song.... especially on the cans. Really fat and huge sounding bottom end.

See us out there in the mosh pit anywhere? I know we were at your show.

What is possibly left to say? We were speechless when we first heard it
and remain just about the same.

Man, you are deep into the genre bucket...opera still left to explore?

We all play around with genres or so I presume. The BiaB horsepower lets us
do that. But to do it convincingly, so often, and still come up something
that catches everybody by surprise?

Perfect for the genre all the way around. The lyric delivery and content
just nails it.

This was fun and so is playing it for family and friends.

I listened on my studio computer through my Senn's and I think the low end holds up really well, as does the rest of the mix.

Outside the box? There ain't no box on this one. laugh

"Punk Floyd" - love it.

Bob


Bob - thanks for that. Good to know it holds up well at your place... congrats on the award...

Trev - always pleased to see you drop by. Thanks for the kind words.

Abrupt endings are "classic punk" - almost to the point of being cliché in the genre. Especially a final stage song - the bands often hit an abrupt end, immediately drop their instruments on the floor and quickly walk off the stage.

Here are some examples (easy to find examples) - go directly to the end of the song to hear the stops... (and an example of the "drop")

Salute!


Well, thanks, Josie. Not really a genre I would ever listen to myself - although I did listen to a lot just before working this up - to make sure I was being true to the genre... Glad you liked the vocals - the hardest part, for obvious reasons...

Very creative and courageous. A bold step into unfamiliar territory and one which really demonstrates the possibilities with PG Music's software.

I need to look at the lyrics again...they're as in-your-face as the music is.


HA! Wake up, Scott!!!! Thanks for stopping by for "a rude awakening"! OooH! That sounds like a song title!!! Would make a good Punk song!!!

Hey Floyd ...

I (Alan) wrote a Punk Rock song about 6 years ago called "You Got Class - Too Bad It's All Low". Never did record it ... might do that at some time.

And yep ... it was shocker. Didn't see that coming! Di and I like to experiment with stuff we wouldn't ordinarily do. Like this one, sometimes it works out pretty good! Kudos for buying a ticket to a destination you don't typically visit. Good work!

Super song as usual.


Mario - you always say the nicest things... thanks for your continued support...

Just kidding.

Old school head banging man. Loved it. Makes me want to put a ring in my tongue.


HAHA! I've probably got an old pair somewhere...how would that be?... I thought this might be something that you would enjoy... appreciate the listen...

Band-in-a-Box® 2024 Review: 4.75 out of 5 Stars!

If you're looking for a in-depth review of the newest Band-in-a-Box® 2024 for Windows version, you'll definitely find it with Sound-Guy's latest review, Band-in-a-Box® 2024 for Windows Review: Incredible new capabilities to experiment, compose, arrange and mix songs.

A few excerpts:
"The Tracks view is possibly the single most powerful addition in 2024 and opens up a new way to edit and generate accompaniments. Combined with the new MultiPicker Library Window, it makes BIAB nearly perfect as an 'intelligent' composer/arranger program."

"MIDI SuperTracks partial generation showing six variations – each time the section is generated it can be instantly auditioned, re-generated or backed out to a previous generation – and you can do this with any track type. This is MAJOR! This takes musical experimentation and honing an arrangement to a new level, and faster than ever."

"Band in a Box continues to be an expansive musical tool-set for both novice and experienced musicians to experiment, compose, arrange and mix songs, as well as an extensive educational resource. It is huge, with hundreds of functions, more than any one person is likely to ever use. Yet, so is any DAW that I have used. BIAB can do some things that no DAW does, and this year BIAB has more DAW-like functions than ever."
