| It's now sitting on my desktop. Hopefully it will annoy me enough sitting there, that I'll do somehting with it eventually. | |

Sounds like a good time  |

| Anya's Theme by Waltz | 1 year ago |
| Have you given up on guitar? The tune started promisingly but after the middle it started feeling dragged out. |
|
| Night of the Vampires (v,2) by KimonF | 1 year ago |
| Clearly you have a much finer ear than I do. Well none of my tunes is ever really perfect and I'd be a hypocrite if I blamed Audacity for that. |
|
| Night of the Vampires (v,2) by KimonF | 1 year ago |
| Why, thank you! I think it does. After you brought it up I noticed too that the track was consistently late so I shifted it to the left (maybe even more than my ears are comfortable with) to get it on the beat. Then spent another hour and a half re-recording the lead until I got it without awkward pauses and missed notes. All in all I'm quite happy with it now. |

| Night of the Vampires by KimonF | 1 year ago |
| @pharmakeus: It may well indeed be that I accidentally shifted the track a bit. It didn't sound like that yesterday when I mixed it. Will re-check it. From listening it over ond over I probably lost sensitivity to errors. @scott: Man you must be on drugs. This "solo" is some of my most sloppy playing and least inspired choice of notes/licks EVER, and that includes my first rookie recordings. |

| Night of the Vampires by KimonF | 1 year ago |
| I know. The recorded part is quite half-***ed compared to the time I put in programming the midi. I've been out of practice for a long time and it shows. Also it is hard to pick and palm mute when temporarily holding the slide in my right hand (bottleneck, can't really just throw it or drop it). The tune was at risk of boring me and ending up shelved indefintely so I wrapped up in a bit of a hurry. I may revisit it because I really like the backing layer. Thanks for the listen! |

| Thumbing Rides in Winter by pharmakeus | 1 year ago |
| Excellent production, beautiful tune! It makes me happily sad, if that even makes sense. | |
| Something Like That by SiddP | 1 year ago |
 Nice man. I like the guitar work. Ties in well with the percussion. Can't hear the bass much and it is not just my laptop's speakers, headphones don't seem to help. Fix that and I'm happy. |

Hey, that was fun I miss listening to other ppl's stuff. I miss creating stuff. |

| yep | |
| Sending Me Out Again by Waltz | 2 years ago |
| The completely left panning is a little uncomfortable. Also there seems to be too much happening in terms of tone. I'm not sure if it is the recording quality, a muddy EQ or too much modulation. But the music and what I think to be the effect fit the theme you are negotiating I think. Waiting for the final before judging. RIP dollhouse. I haven't watched the second season yet. |

| Watching 2 by GaryLester | 2 years ago |
Hey man thanks for the listen. Nice tune you got here. |
|
| Coastal Highway (backing) by KimonF | 2 years ago |
| There are three repeats, around 45secs each. It can be used for a stand-alone take, or you can be part of a larger jam (if there is enough interest). Ofcourse if more people join for collective jam, I'd rather us not using each the entire length of the backing because the combined length would be unbearable. | |
| Coastal Highway (backing) by KimonF | 2 years ago |
| Listening back to it after a good break, this mix sounds horrible... lol I'm not sure if it is the levels (which I've reworked since) or the nature of the riffs that seem detached and need getting used to. | |
| Rework by SiddP | 2 years ago |
| Nice. We should have another one of those wah-tastic jams soon. | |
| Regurgitation Jam by JTC | 2 years ago |
| Then it is kinda pure luck that I did a version of the riff (well two, but the second strays far away) because I completely missed that requirement. It just happens to be how I play, starting with a harmony on the riff and then working my way away from it. | |
| Regurgitation Jam by JTC | 2 years ago |
The mix is good. The clipping has mostly cleared. What's all that story about what it was supposed to be and what it became? Where was I when all that were discussed? It explains the name though. |
|
| Coal Country by QuillPen | 2 years ago |
Holy chocolate-egg-laying rabbits! That's great man! You're a terrific player, great tone and great recording quality and production. And I don't give 5 stars easily. |

|
| Power Trip by albumflaps | 2 years ago |
| I'll be honest man. I like the fat growl you get from the guitars. But having two guitar tracks is tricky. I often find (this tune included) that the guitar melodies/riffs sound disconnected from each other and it really bugs me. They're minding their own business rather than building up to a common cause. Matter of taste I guess. It's why jazz gives me nausea and why I can't solo over powerful but busy riffs. |
|
| Xenophilosophy by pharmakeus | 2 years ago |
| Some interesting themes goign on in there. I actually liked the non-guitars better I think. The ending theme is pure win. | |

Talk about a biased opinon ^^^  It's a little on the chaotic side... |
|
| Music in a Dream (New Masterpiece) by JTC | 2 years ago |
| It's interesting you know, it has a stark contrast. You don't force your singing, scream or all that kind of stuff. A very intense guitar lead tone alternating with a deep calm voice makes an interesting combo. It's like H.I.M. on shred-oids. Work it to your advantage man. | |
| Love Comes To Me by alexkoepp | 2 years ago |
| Good voice man. Reminds me of REM. | |
| For the King by JTC | 2 years ago |
Great riffs, layering and tone! This smokes the medieval tune as far as I am concerned. |
|
| Crazy Dave's Emporium of Fun by SiddP | 2 years ago |
| Has some right elements for a Bond theme. | |
| Who I'm Supposed To Be by JTC | 2 years ago |
| Sweet man! That's a real acoustic guitar, right? Not just an electric on clean? If it is electric that is one bloody hell of an excellent simulation. | |
| My Jam on G major Heaven ballad by fminorpenta | 2 years ago |
| I think you need to work a bit on your bends. Practice reaching a target pitch. Also work on your bend-release. That quick jerky bend motion you do combined with the randomness of the target pitch really kills any tune. It sounds like a boy in puberty, you know when their voice randomly switches pitch as they speak. Bending is not about just pushing/pulling a string sideways. It is about targeting an intended specific pitch and having complete control of the transition throughout. |

| DIY Blues (Version 4) by SiddP | 2 years ago |
 I'm not rating the concept because well, it's been done to death. I'm also not giving you 5 to everything because I decided to speak my mind rather than just pat on the back. Pharmakeus has a good gritty dylan-y voice that suits the style indeed. Your guitar tone is spot on but you got too many "safe" notes defining your licks. They could use a little more tension from time to time. |

| Walking down the street by fminorpenta | 2 years ago |
Avant-guarde aboriginal music meets the american south, the far west and the Batican in a horror/thriller movie setting?  It's awesomely absurd! It took me by surprise more than once. But I'm partial to a good whacka rythm, so... And I love the sound you used for the slide part. I should find me some random loops and do that too. Sounds like great fun. |

I think the distorted guitar has a little too much "hair" for this tune. Sweet dreamy melody |
|
| Strawberry Jam by KimonF | 2 years ago |
| hey, thanks for listening and commenting. Yes the end was abrupt. It wasn't how I planned to end but I dragged a few notes longer than I had planned (in order to get back on time without breaking up the recording into multiple sessions stitched together) so the backing ended sooner than I had planned. I liked the take however and decided to keep it anyway, rather than risk another take where something else would likely go wrong... | |
| Strawberry Jam by SiddP | 2 years ago |
There some really cool funk sounds in there, great job sidd! |
|
| The Albumflaps Strawberry Jam by JTC | 2 years ago |
Hey Jeff, don;t be so hard on yourself. You worked a nice little groove that couples with the bass there and I love it. |
|
| I miss you Squeek. by albumflaps | 2 years ago |
The dynamics of the guitar remind of something Bjork might sing. Except I understand guitar much better than I understand Bjork . The tune reeks of melancholy, beautifully made. Great example of less-is-more. |
|
| Fritters & Rice by SiddP | 2 years ago |
Haha, I can't believe you kept the idea I used for a title for my part. This is the first time I'm hearing what you and farlow did with it. Sidd, I love the combo of guitar tone and bass tone that you chose. The mix turned out well balanced in volumes. Also I love the order in which the parts appear. It gives the tune a certain feeling of evolution in theme from simpler to more complex and from more traditional to more modern and heavier. |

| Don't Stop - Micheal Jackson Remake by ThirdRail | 3 years ago |
The opening part (is that sweeps?) had me uncertain as to what I was about to listen to but then it settles in. It's quite well done and heavy. Of course, I have no idea what the original is like so... Nice job. I'd blow my brains off if I had to sync 5 guitar tracks of myself. I think the bass could be less up front. |

| 6 or possibly more depends on how many people submit something. Thanks for the comment! |
|
| Voodo Chile 2K7 by PlusUltra | 4 years ago |
I would have liked the funk to be on the guitar side of the mix. I like your tone and chops (taken out of of context), but it just rubs me wrong in this song. Slap was a nice touch. |
|
| First TIme Blues by KimonF | 4 years ago |
| I do have a harmonica but I can't play it the blues way, with the bends and stuff. Occasionally I remember to practice the harmonica too. | |
| A Empty Soul by TheAlchemist | 4 years ago |
| If you're not gonna sing over it, you might at least try to simulate some with a lead or something. Barebones acoustic rythm for a few mminutes bores me, as cool as the structure may be. | |
| In The Light by TheAlchemist | 4 years ago |
| Were you camping alone? Doesn't sound very happy. Has sort of a sorrow feel... | |
| On The Eastern Front by TheAlchemist | 4 years ago |
Cool. |
|
| The Interzone by TheAlchemist | 4 years ago |
| Bit cheesy, I'm not sure what I think of it. Probably what ezstyle said. It'd be nice to have some chords and some more variety in there. Your sound makes me think of Iommi for some reason, also lacks a little bit in reverb. | |
| Blue Christmas with Heavy Guitar by JTC | 4 years ago |

| Guitar.com proposed theme backing track by JTC | 4 years ago |
| I'm on it. Excellent riffage, it be a shame to sit this one out as I originally intented. | |
| helloween noodling by KimonF | 4 years ago |
| Kinda. I don't play drums and I suck at programming them on sequencing software. Plus everything is done without a metronome, so even if I tried to sequence drums for it later, it would only highlight some dreadful timing. | |
