Glad to find this site. I was a big fan of mp3.com until it was revamped and was no longer useful to independent musicians. I've been a musician for more than 20 years, and sit right smack in the middle of mediocre. I love to write and record, and hear music from others who do the same. I have a small studio set up in my basement consisting of a Fostex VF16, various mixers, line 6 equipment, many guitars, a drum kit, and a PC. http://cg2112.bandamp.com/ admin@bandamp.com http://forum.bandamp.com/Audio_Review/4203.html This is something I wrote a while ago. I kinda like it, though like most of my stuff, not terribly happy about the mix. The problem with a budget studio.

We've all been part of those online bulletin boards or discussion groups where people just argue senselessly, knowing that no one is going to change anyone's mind. I was without subject matter, started making stuff up, and the theme just kind of evolved over time. Wed, 14 Feb 2007 02:33:30 -0500 http://forum.bandamp.com/Audio_Review/4291.html This was one of the first songs I recorded when I started home recording 7 or so years ago. It's gone through a lot of evolution over the years, I think this is the final version. This was also the title track of a CD I released several years ago (though the version on that CD had not evolved into what the song has become, though the actual mix was better). Of the songs that I've posted here, this is, if not my favorite, close to it. Mon, 19 Feb 2007 18:09:49 -0500 http://forum.bandamp.com/Audio_Review/4259.html Weird. The first time I uploaded this, there was nothing. Odd. Hopefully fixed now. I have a chorus for this and that's it, and there's some level issues at the beginning, as I'm not sure exactly what I want to do with the guitar there yet.

I sort of make the words up as I go along, go back, do it over, until I have something that kind of makes sense. Recorded about three years ago in my basement. Mon, 12 Feb 2007 02:05:05 -0500 http://forum.bandamp.com/Audio_Review/4224.html I wrong this shortly after 9/11...didn't intend for that to be what the song was about (I usually just make stuff up to fit the music, then tweak to make some sense out of it), it just sort of worked out that way in the evolution of the song. Wed, 14 Feb 2007 02:42:51 -0500 http://forum.bandamp.com/Audio_Review/4249.html This started out as a nice quiet piece that I would play for my son to get him to sleep. It eventually evolved into a bit more than that, as an instrumental. Not the best mix in the world, I think I was still using an 8-track when I recorded this. Fri, 16 Feb 2007 22:35:34 -0500 http://forum.bandamp.com/Audio_Review/4261.html Dunno why I'm calling this Track 10. I think it was track 10 on a CD I burned of stuff that I'd written to listen to in the car (my favorite place to listen and critique new tracks). No lyrics here again. That's where I'm always deficient. If you're a Rush fan, you'll definitely hear the influence here (think "Analog Kid" -- I didn't realize this until later). The bass on this track, in parts (particular what will be the second verse) is some of the best playing and sound I've gotten out of my bass. Sat, 17 Feb 2007 18:21:05 -0500 http://forum.bandamp.com/Audio_Review/4230.html Don't have a title or lyrics for this yet. Something I worked on a little while ago, that came about while I was playing with a new floorboard for my amp. Wed, 14 Feb 2007 10:28:34 -0500 http://forum.bandamp.com/Audio_Review/4206.html This is about three years old. The first half of the guitar solo is a little tip of the hat to Rush, who have been a favorite of mine since early high school. Mon, 12 Feb 2007 13:51:07 -0500
