Totally amateur recordings thread

[bholder]

This evening's little effort - verifying an celebrating death of a buzz that had been driving me mad. Turned out the bridge pickup cover ground was broken - I wired in another, soldered the other end to the jack ground, and voila, blessed near silence. Still got some background hiss to find. And there's an intermittent buzz in the house I need to track down and kill...

Buzz? Hiss? That's just analog mojo!

Sounds like envelope phaser and tremolo.

Sounds like envelope phaser and tremolo.

Bingo. It's the Cry autofilter and the Fender Twin Reverb tren Sims on my Zoom G5n. The original had trem, not sure what else...

This is one of my decades-old 4-track cassette recordings.

I never really had a title for it until I noticed yesterday that the lead synth tone sounds kind of like a robotic chicken going, "Bock, bock, bock!" The name "Robot Chicken" was already taken, so I decided to name the track "RO-BOCK."

By the way, all of the synth parts, including the synth bass, are the same program from my Sequential Circuits Six-Trak.

Friday evening noodling on my Bill Lawrence Swampcaster while waiting on Spacex...



Bad synch due to Audacity lagginess oh well...

A little Saturday night groove, 1 track of my bass VI on left, 2 (center lead and right) of Sire T7 FM.

 

[bholder]

My Lt. Cushing bass VI through Zoom G5n "NYC Muff" and "Cry" fx

 

[bholder]

first take on my new Sire S7 Vintage. Sloppy and chaotic. Three tracks, rhythm right, fighting leads center and left.

I want to stress: this is NOT a finished product. I will be (essentially) re-recording it, tomorrow (certainly the vocals).

It was written in 1979 and I am going back over all my old stuff, preparing for a new release.

couldn't sleep. so this happened.

Well well well, I got my long-stalled "Targaryen StarkBastard Jon Snow" project moving again. Mounted the piezo saddles, then the bridge, rerouted some wires - I haven't connected the piezos yet but I wanted to hear it, so I just tack soldered the mag pickups full on in parallel to the output jack. Here's what it sounds like.



Forgive bad timing (overloaded recording laptop) and intonation (first time playing with a scalloped board, and I put ultra light .007s on, so it's very "sproingy", takes a really light touch to stay on pitch.
