Sometimes there is inclination, but alot of the time its only practice.  Just pick up an instrument that suits your fancy and play it!  You'll get frustrated alot at first, but you'll get the hang of it.

Hi there,

I've just home-recorded myself a countrified cover version of 'Off the record.' Am I still in time to send it in for this project? And if so, how and where should I send it? I can send it via Dropload, or is there some ftp-server I have to upload it on? I have it in .wav-format. Just let me know.

:)

On a totally different subject: I just listened to Michael Jackson's 'I wanna be startin' somethin'' and I thought, dam', this is so brilliant, I'm gonna stop making music, 'cuz I'm never ever gonna achieve something as good as this. I'm just sitting home making these stupid lo-fi indie crap songs thinking I'm cool, and here was this guy making the most perfect pop song ever and he didn't give a shit about being cool or being real, he just wanted to sell some records and made the ultimate pop song and it's the best thing anyone's ever made. That was just what I was thinking back then. Thought I'd share. :)

Okay, so this weekend my brother is going to record vocals over top of guitars to the following songs:

Bermuda Highway
Lowdown
The Bear
Evelyn is Not Real
Phone Went West

We'll be turning all of these in if they all turn out well ASAP.

Shit ass shit, I have to get my act together here.

O, you don't know how glad I am that you've got a song on here.  It was definitely not going to be the same without a Jintro addition.  YAR!!!!  I'll pm you - you can send it to Corey, and I'll tell you how.  (heh, totally passing the buck to the man who does the mastering.)

Also, fuck that shit about Michael Jackson.  If you stop making your music I'll cry.  as IF.  I hope you were joking.

SiouxTribe, that's awesome that you guys are doing so much.  I'll pm you, too.  :)

Anybody else want a pm?  Just for kicks?

Just kiddin'.  Okay.

i HAVE to try and sort something out at my end... might be too late for this one though, but still...

[corey]

Nah... I haven't even started on my song... so there's still time.

[ali]

cool... any suggestions for the least amount of equipment i might need to record something? i've been thinking about this for a while, so it's not just for mmj... ;)

[SiOuxTribe]

I use a $10 microphone from Wal-Mart and a cheap free recording program I downloaded....for a grand total of 10 dollars I have to say my 'studio' isnt bad at all.

[ali]

hmmm have to try & set up the ali-studio this weekend! $10 sounds pretty good to me !  ;)

[ali]

if i can get my little paws on some recording equipment, i'm going to have a play with knot comes loose and maybe lay low....  :D

[EC]

huzzah!  just check that front page ali, and see what's been taken.  :)

Sadly (and fuck was I ever pissed about this), last night I practised and figured out a piano version of one and the same, and then my recording stuff wasn't working.  

Anyhow, who cares, but I'm workin' on it.   :-/

[SiOuxTribe]

Ali, do laylow, that would kickass.

EC, get your shit working!  I want to hear it  :D

[ali]

i bought some new strings for the violin today, & i'm picking up the 4-track this afternoon.... it's a-happenin'

[EC]

I just wanted everyone to know that EVERYTHING IS OKAY.  I GOT THE GEAR WORKING.  IT'S OKAY, DON'T PANIC.

heh.

I'm done.  :)  wiggum, it's really big.  i'll send you a pm.  

[ali]

ok - slight issue - the 4-track records onto cassette tape... is this going to be a problem? i don't have any way of transferring from tape to cd

[corey]

If you know someone that is computer-savvy, you can probably run an RCA cable out of the 4-track into an 1/8 inch Line IN on a computer. You'll need some sort of audio recording program, but there are several out there that should be free. They'll need to make sure that it's recorded onto the computer at a good level, but it doesn't need to be distorted. Then, they can dump that wav file onto a CD.

Sounds complicated, but it's a pretty simple process.

Hey I just joined this forum, this is actually my first post as well.  I've spent the past month or two doing nothing but learning MMJ songs and would like to try my hand at recording something for the album.

is it too late?  are there any requirements other than record and send it to Wiggum?

let me know.

[ali]

hey NJ2KY, welcome to the forum!!
