Been a little while since I posted anything all by my lonesome.. been busy recording some stuff.. doing a couple geekfire collaberations (another in the works).. but I had said that I was going to make a CD of my music before the summer was out.. and the summer is on its way out. So, I don't have enough material for a guitar/vocal CD, but I can manage a CD of solo instrumentals.. so let me know what you guys thing of this..

"In The Night" - Scott Dial

I like it a lot. Nice and mellow. My only suggestion would be to get going with the song a but quicker. It took a good minute to get to the primary melody. Great stuff though.

Hey. Shouldn't you be working on that Grey Street cover?

cool man...well that one I posted a while back was all on the spot too...and then the reverse swells...so being as I do the same thing, I love it

... but I might not be the best judge of the average joe listening to it

wow, geekmug, this is really good. better than fire's stuff

you should definitely stick to instrumentals. i've learned the lesson that i can't sing and should stick to instrumentals.

it was just a very cool song. thats the best way i can explain it. very chilled song 8)

I haven't learned this yet. I just keep on trying hoping I'll find my voice someday... :oops:

Thanks for all your guy's (and gal's) praise.. When (and if) I get together a CD, I'll put it up in mp3 form online.

NoNotThat: hehe, awesome.. I think you can claim being my biggest fan then.. woah.. wait.. I have a fan.. crazy

fatjack: quite a compliment to say it is better than fire's.. I am pretty sure fire is better than me though, but I'll take it

As for the drum recordings.. it's probably the lowest-tech part of my recordings always. I have a cheap PC mic pointed in the corner of my desk so as to give it a slightly muffling quality ('cause I easily peak out the cheap mic) and it seems to help keep the cymbals (higher frequency pitches) from overbearing the lower pitchs as much. And then, in post, I have an equalizer that I have custom made to punch up the bass and knock down some specific frequencies up higher (like the hi-hat).. and then it gets compressed pretty heavily. My set is pretty nice, but I can't afford the grand or so to mic it properly.. so for now, it sounds like trash on recordings.

wow.. that got long.. hope that helps you some.. let me know if you need some more info.

Again, thanks for all the positive feedback
