OK, I'll let it slide...Does professionally recorded count at "totally amateur" even if I remain an amateur?

Does professionally recorded count at "totally amateur" even if I remain an amateur? Here's a preview from my punk rock band Sex Negative's upcoming EP. It's my first real band/recording on bass, although I've done plenty of stuff on guitar in the past. I wrote the music, the singer wrote the lyrics and everyone rocked it up.

Just a riff that's been nagging me the last couple of days, wanted to record it before I forget it. Sire V7 through Joyo MA10B recorded on my cell phone...
Ripping off Roger Waters "Set The Controls For The Heart Of The Sun" and undoubtedly something from Tool as well...
Hah! Yeah, I'm channeling my "inner Eastern European / Western Asian" (which of course, I have 0% of, DNA-wise).Hint: don’t say that Roger Waters/Tool stuff. You want to say words like “Balkans” or maybe “Caucasus.” Go for those world music/ethnomusicological points, man!
Some bad Bill Frisellish noodling.
Yeah I'm really pleased with how the thread has evolved. Funny, this was maybe my 3rd or 4th try at starting such a thread, took a while before it became popular. I really like the extremely wide scope of music folks post here. Always an adventure.This thread is a good place to hear music outside of the norm. Some cool stuff here!![]()
This is excellent! Cool vibe and a really good mix. And a nice performance!This is my latest home effort. The song is called "Undo" (only English word there really, it's Spanish sung). Recorded in Reaper, programmed Steven Slate Drums, bass&guitar going thru' a Zoom G1Xon into a Zoom R24 recorder used as my audio interface. All played&sung by yours truly. This is the last of 5 songs I've composed thru' the last 2 years and am hopefully making into an EP at the studio with my band soon (along with a cover song, very intrusively rearranged to our style -or lack thereof-). Hope you like it.
Liking a bunch of what I've heard so far so deciding to jump in.
This one came together really quickly and what you'll hear is only about two or three days from inception. We'd setup a mixer in our rehearsal space so we could bring home better rough cuts than the old single mic/ cassette recorder thing.
I came up with the bass hook noodling on an early Ibanez SoundGear 5, drummer and I meld quickly, guitar and lyrics were cemented a day or so later. Even though we were only together for a few months, I'm proud of the quality and quantity of output we achieved.
