Members Tedster Posted February 17, 2007 Members Share Posted February 17, 2007 What the hell...(shrug)You can hear a few of my gruntings and plonkings here...at my myspace site. There are little nitnoid things I'd like to fix about all of 'em. I guess they're all rough demos, some rougher than others....www.myspace.com/tedhoffman"Use It All"...some folks here have heard this before...but I finally got my son to put drums on it. I added a guitar solo. The mix still sucks...of this I am aware."Bad Wind On The Bayou"...my Katrina song, featuring the O'Keefe family on bass and backup vocals, and my son Andrew on drums."Walk Away Renee"...my son on drums, me on everything else"A Little At A Time"...my supersappy lovesick acoustic song. If you only like cookie monster bands, don't even bother clicking on it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Magpel Posted February 17, 2007 Members Share Posted February 17, 2007 Ted, that's great stuff. I listened to 1. and 4, the surf rocker and the Rubber Soul-era ballad. Both are great! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Billster Posted February 18, 2007 Members Share Posted February 18, 2007 Hey, my CD is done, officially available, etc., etc. Tainted Rose Full song for free! (but it's just an mp3. You want the quality stuff - go buy the CD ) Take the "3 Minute Tour" A brief clip of each song on the disc. Prowl around the website - you might find an interesting sub-page, you crazy jammers Buy the disc at CD Baby. Really. You'll love it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Magpel Posted February 20, 2007 Members Share Posted February 20, 2007 Billster, the "highlights reel" seems to bespeak a really diversified set off jazzy and fusiony tunes with forays toward the latin or toward some monster riff rock. Sounds like a lot of fun! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Billster Posted February 20, 2007 Members Share Posted February 20, 2007 Thanks for listening Mag. I think you caught the drift. Hopefully there's some degree of cohesion to the disc as a whole, but the real goal is to showcase the diversity. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members thankyou Posted March 2, 2007 Members Share Posted March 2, 2007 Tedster, fine songs. Is Andrew still in the area? Wish my kids had shown some interest in music (longer than the few weeks it took them to reach the first plateau).I posted a link a couple of months ago to a site where one of my bandmates has submitted some songs we recorded several years ago. Here's another: Bombs AwayMy other song on that list is Blue Fly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members steveg Posted March 2, 2007 Members Share Posted March 2, 2007 Originally Posted by Billster Hey, my CD is done, officially available, etc., Bill, There is some really nice music and playing here- Bravo! I like the style a lot, we don't hear enough good instrumental music that is well written and played and still "accessible". I thought some of the guitar playing was a little inconsistent in that sometimes it generally sounds totally pro and then occasionally it sounds weaker. Please take this as a positive compliment and friendly feedback to where if you tighten up some of these spots the overall result would be top drawer!!

If you don't mind my asking, how many cds do you sell at a typical gig? What is a typical gig, btw? Thanks so much for taking time out to listen- I have not made any attempts at label submissions yet. I have had some very enthusiastic responses from people with connections wanting to help get a cd in the right hands and that is a blessing. I've not sold any cd's at gigs because I am still finishing the mixes for a few other tracks. In fact, I just finished another tune if you'd like to check it out- it's called "Not Givin Up" Here is the link- http://www.soundclick.com/bands/page...?bandID=123066 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Tedster Posted March 3, 2007 Members Share Posted March 3, 2007 Glenn, great stuff, great songs, great voice.The thing that struck me is the very polished production...everything in the right place...everything put in a place that sets the song and the performance off, which is exactly what top-notch production should do.Who produces your stuff?

Who produces your stuff? Thanks for that post- I produced and recorded them myself. I spent several years writing/producing/engineering for a few other people and I think I was afraid to step out on my own. I'm glad I finally did. Wish I would have sooner but I gained valuable experience before I took this on myself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Jasongs Posted March 15, 2007 Members Share Posted March 15, 2007 Greetings to all! I have been a reader and supporter of Craig Anderton's work since the 1970's - oops, I just dated myself! Ah well, the point being that I find his writing to be excellent and his point of view to be solidly based in reality and experience! I have many of his books, some dating back to 1979 and further and I must say that if I learned anything more from any other single source, as pertains to music and the recording thereof, I would be hard-pressed to identify who! That being said, I would like to place a song up for this Forum's critique. It is original, and all parts were recorded by yours truly; all vocals, instruments and drums. I am wanting honest constructive opinions and reviews only, as this song pretty much exposes the best I can do as a songwriter, singer, musician and engineer. The song is: POINT OF VIEW and can be streamed Hi or Lo speed, the lyrics are there for you to read as well. Thanks to all for stopping by!

Members beavis1957 Posted March 15, 2007 Members Share Posted March 15, 2007 http://www.myspace.com/bluefieldmadder We made this album about 4 years ago when we were in college and never did anything with it. School, careers, family, etc. kinda put a stop to our momentum. Any feedback would be appreciated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Rubber Lizard Posted March 20, 2007 Members Share Posted March 20, 2007 Aw jeesh, that Ranee song just gets me every time. Tedster, you nailed it, too. Maybe it's time for me to do my own cover of that one... I'll find a way to record your version as a starting place.Tedster, I like your myspace thing. Thanks.

Members jacomakar Posted March 24, 2007 Members Share Posted March 24, 2007 Originally Posted by Johnny Storm Well, all righty, then.

Members the stranger Posted March 31, 2007 Members Share Posted March 31, 2007 Acoustic Improv #1 ---wma format.A bit of acoustic improv. I laid down a few tracks of acoustic improvisation and mixed this little ditty in a couple hours. It doesn't really resolve, but it has a cool little groove. I might expand on the theme.Gear:Yamaha FG-75, tuned up a step or so...PZM, at about 8-12 inches.Tracked into Acid 4.0.I did do a bit of creative editing, try and see where!

Members ggm1960 Posted April 10, 2007 Members Share Posted April 10, 2007 I have one song posted here:http://gregmein.home.mchsi.com/index_files/Page587.htmI use Sonar to put mine together but I believe this one has a lot of Reason in it. My songs aren't intended to be taken seriously so no feedback is really necessary unless you feel inclined to comment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
