Oh dear God. Please don't eat me alive.

*Eats alive*

Kidding, It's all right

put some reverb on it and it will be perfect

Those are my own little whatevers. I know very little of professional recording.

I do side projects with a few buddies of mine. If only I could get a hand of those recordings. I've listened to your thingy, purely instrumental?

Well, keep at it

U doing pretty good so far.

And yup

puuuuure instrumental .. I don't sing

 

[dancubs]

Have you tried? It usually follows, if your ear is trained well, you'd naturally do well at singing.

Hmm.. actually tried no, I usualy sing in the shower n stuff

I should try it once, I guess... It would give my songs a bit of fullness, since its really hard to fill the entire song with only instruments, and on top of that all by myself >.O

 

[dancubs]

Definitely. Your instrumentals and mixing are all top notch, all they need now are a few words to give them a story, some rhyme and reason. Voila.

OH I forgot I had this one, just uploaded it again to youtube

Originally I didn't want to upload it ever since I wasn't toooooo happy with it, but what the heck

Song Name: AVI Mixdown

Yeah you're right

I always wanted voices in them, but... well I personally think I cannot sing

and don't know anyone that is willing to do it for me sooo...

 

[dancubs]

Before singing though, lyrics have to be written, don't you agree? How are you in writing lyrics?

Hmmm

I never tried that actually... why?

Got some tips??? HM?? HM??

 

[dancubs]

I couldn't be going around handing out tips if I myself am no good at writing.

Here. Check out one of my pieces. Tell me what you think, and then if you like it, I'll tell you how it came about. If not, then better off asking someone else. hahaha

There's a slight chance of rain
and a cloud full of doubt
Say it like you mean it
Get it all figured out
And you know
It's not the same without you
It's not the same without you

I'd pace around the room, take a look at the time
It's eleven am, at around the same time
yesterday, you told me that you'd call me out
You told me that you'd call me out

I'm waiting on you, butterflies in my gut
Taking the time, to be something I am not
and I know, I'm not one to complain
about, something I cant figure out

Now I'm walking towards the door
My hair parted left, my feet touch the floor
Can you feel this tension?

I've got a couple of dimes to drop
and you'll stare, telling me to stop
But I won't and you know that I won't
So put up with this, or go the long way home tonight

The notepad file I took it from says the title is "It's not the same" so maybe that's what its called, I can't remember.

To be Honest, Most of it is good, some is not, like I'm not in for butterflies

and the first 2 lines Is not me also.
But the rest is good

.. But I would put some darker text into it, and if not dark, I'd put normal stuff but not about love or something like that, I only created 1 love song kinda.



But I usually don't do things like that... I think

..Mayyyybe if the song is Really really really good I might

That's where YOU come in. Start writing like you're speaking in sentences, the fancy stuff come in once all your ideas as settled in. Writing lyrics isn't a science, you can be totally scatterbrained about it and come out with really nice lines.

Now that U mention it, that sounds very logical..
I should try that !!!

..............and to find someone to sing it for me

 

[dancubs]

Ooooh! Another cool thing I can say about lyrics, an interesting bit of advice.

Listen to all your favorite songs, and listen closely to the lyrics. If you find a song that you like, lyrically, find out who wrote it. Follow their writing style, try to emulate it. That's how eventually, your own style will develop and emerge.

I myself followed Pete Wentz, Dan O'Connor, Ben Liebsch and few more lyricists from the same "scene", sad to say.

OH like that.. That is basically what I am doing with guitars ha ^^ One time I made a song that has sooo many styles in it from lots of different bands:
-Katatonia
-Ayreon
-Dream Theater
-Korn
-System of a Down



This is an old one, Not too good In my opinion But maybe if youknow the bands, you know what I am talking about when you hear it

Ive been writing music for the better part of 4 years now, I actually have a home studio set up with a few condenser mics, preamps and such for recording purposes. Writing music in general is such a great outlet for emotions, but I also produce local bands which is a blast :]

Just keep doing what you love! and practicepracticepractice!
