Totally amateur recordings thread

Recorded in our home studio.
The only remarkable recording aspect of this, and I may have mentioned it previously, but we did so much preproduction on all these tracks. E.g. we did a blind listening test of a bunch of drum overhead mic pairs and positions. And the guitar player recorded DI and then reamped and sent me a bunch of options for guitars. Bass, I'm unmovable from my GK and Hartke setup myself. And use an EV RE 320. Recorded with the Warwick Taranis you'll see here and there in the video. But ya, overall, very light mixing in the end because we sculpted stuff on the front end more than I ever have.

Kewl tune so far, I'm digging, reminds me of... ...not quite sure... equal parts Nirvana and something else... Nirvtallica? Metvana? hehe
Here's a little punk tune I started working on after work yesterday. Gotta work on some drums and transitions maybe, do all the mixing and whatnot (I know nothing about this lol) and maybe get brave enough to lay down some vocals
Still chasing my buzz gremlin. Here's a noisy little two tracks with my Bass VI type "Lieutenant Cushing":
Is a simple noisegate an option? My ibanez rg suffers from tons of hum if I don't load a gate on my track
Yeah, a gate would stop the worst annoying part, but there would still be buzz all underneath the signal. I'm getting a couple of noise filters in the mail tomorrow (AC line filter and a ground isolating audio transformer filter). Will see what happens with those...
Holy Sergeant Buzzkill, Batman!! I think I got my buzz!
Still got a touch at the very beginning somehow, but pretty clean otherwise - what a relief! Will continue to try to get rid of the remaining noise...
(left the flubs in so you'd know it was me!)

I just remembered, somewhere on my hard drive I have at least a couple "proof of concept" recordings that I made for my band ... We're a (mostly) instrumental quartet playing surf and adjacent music, early 1960s/late 1950s type stuff, two guitarists, bass, and drums. Once in a while I'll think of a tune we could cover, and I'll create a very quick and dirty arrangement using my phone's camera to record the parts, and then combining the audio in SoundForge to make an mp3, just to show how the tune could be done with two guitars and a bass. They are rough and usually not too precise tuning- and timing-wise, but they get the point across well enough. Sadly we have yet to do any of them as a band... I found two of them; there's another one of "Black and Tan Fantasy" that needs finishing before I can share it...
I think a lot of Neapolitan songs might translate well to a surfy flavor!
Wow...that's good stuff! Really gets you going!
And I like your use of the "Planet of the Apes" font, too.
Like "Spaghetti Westerns"! hehe hehe
This is just the studio version (and it's got some clunkers), but I needed to do it to "support" the old live version.

I'm sure my grandfather (Gustavo DiMateo) would have endorsed this joke.
