Phil,

I'm sorry, I just saw this...I haven't been on the site for a bit, because I'm in the middle of recording an album....what project are you designing?

Annie

 

Nice to see you back Annie! - good luck with the album, have you got a recording contract, or are you self recording?.

We're doing it ourselves...we're so treating it like a business this time around....I went the record company way last time and it was nothing but phony people, big promises and lots of bull, heh....

I've just had my head in the project nonstop for weeks....it's turned me into a night person! I used get up at the crack of dawn, and now I work all night and sleep till noon, lol....I'm writing the songs, learning the software (Sonar 6) and recording tracks for the guys in my band to rehearse their parts to....it's so fun....


Good to talk to you, Nigel....

 

My daughter is lucky that she took an OCN (a recognised qualification) in Sound Engineering the other year at a small local studio - and is currently volunteering there as a recording engineer. It's a 24 track digital studio, with seperate live and electronics rooms, plus a small sound booth. They have a drum set (or two), piano, amps etc. (even guitars) - everything you need.

So she can get cheap recording time there! - as it's part of the local council youth service, it's dead cheap for kids anyway (£5 per hour I think?).

She was 17 on Tuesday, and started 6th form (year 12) today - one of the courses she's taking is Music Technology, which includes midi and sound recording - and they have a newly build studio specially for this new course they started offering just a year ago

So recording wise she's pretty well set up!.

However, from your picture I suspect you wouldn't like each others music?, although I may be stereotyping you because of the cowboy hat?.

Good luck with your recording, and I'm sure we'd all be pleased to have a link to listen to a sample when it's done? - although (stereotyping again!) I suspect it's not my style either?

Ah, the cowboy hat...lol...That's cuz I moved to Tucson, AZ....heh...I'm really a rock and roller from California and New York City....I was in a popular local ska/pop band in New York and before that I did a lot of pop rock stuff and blues in the San Francisco Bay Area...now I'm stuck in boring Tucson, lol...

I mainly write hooked up pop songs...catchy lyrics and melodies...toe tapping music...

I'm recording most of the tracks with Sonar and my Les Paul...though I'll probably take the project to a studio for the vocals to take advantage of expensive mics, lol....

I will definitely link up some tunes when they get farther along.....

 

Right

The hat and your location led me to an incorrect conclusion!.

Just got the live CD from MusicX 2007 (a yearly randomly generated band week), Melissa was in a band with five other members (three of whom she had never met before) - their last song "Dave Is A Space Marine" really rocks, and even has the keyboard player rapping - don't knock it, it really rocks. Dave is a friend of hers, and she wrote the song about him! (it's his role playing character).
