This is a jam that was recorded, pressed to CD, with only two microphones right here, just now, from start to finish, it took about 30 min to record the track, take a photo, make a cover and burn it to CD, and upload it to the net.


Ok, first off,

This wasn't rehearsed

No post production

Nothing Special about it whatsoever.

This whole jam was completely impromptu.

That's what makes it so cool.


Check it out.

The players:
Frank Axtell - Guitar
Danny Wilfork - Drums
Yamomma - Fender Rhodes Piano (I don't really play piano, but what were we going to do with two drummers?)

What this little experiment is how cool, easy, and fast it is to create and share with a hundred people immediately.

Post feedback as soon as you check it out.

Frank is tearin it up on the guitar. Cool 10 min jam-tune.

The link didn't work for me.

Try to "right click" and save to your computer.
Then play it in your player.

yamomma said:

Yes, I got it... very nice...

I needed to do something like this for quite a while.

Now I'm going to have to figure out web-casting

This was fun.

Thanks for letting me share.

Good night!

dig that guitar work, man.
peace

It's not the Misfits, but it'll do!

Actually I dig your version. Good wake up song for when I come into the office in the morning. I played it evey morning for the last few days.

What effects did you put on the vocals?
Did you just double them?
Also, was this a collaboration or did you do all parts?


Last night was like a race.
To record, print, and post a song as fast as possible.
The whole think took abut 30 min.

10 min to record a totally made up Jam
5 min to burn to CD
15 min to upload to site.

Studio Rats Rule!

The vocals had a compressor, but nothing else. I recorded three vocal tracks on top of one another to make it sound a little like a flanger or chorus effect, but there was nothing but a compressor on the vocals. I chose one vocal to be loud, while the other two were just there for a pseudo-flanging effect. The two extra vocals are panned slightly left/right, but not far enough to be really stereo.

All the music is me... there are four guitar parts (2 guitars on each side in stereo) and 2 bass parts doubled in mono. The drums are simply a drum program... and not a great one at that.

It took me over two hours to do the song though... unlike your 30 minute job!

IceNine said:

Dude, we immediately wanted to re-record last night with overdubs of strings and horns, but decided to keep the "Momment" as is.

Usually when we get going, we easily get lost until 4-5 in the morning.

You have a great "rock voice". Got a home set up?

yamomma said:

Thanks!

I have a decent little setup at home... nothing huge, but definitely cool.

ProTools
CAD Equitek E-200 mic
Groove Tubes GT-1 mic
Various Les Pauls
A few Jazz basses
Marshall guitar amplifiers
Ampeg bass amp
Hughes and Kettner redbox DI
Lots of ProTools plug-ins
Korg Triton Pro keyboard

That sort of thing...

IceNine said:

Looks like you got all you need!

yamomma said:

It works for me...

Do you guys ever get in there and just rock all the way out... you know, with the mad face and everything? I know I do!

But again the idea of last night wasn't to create a killer song, but to enjoy the creative process.

I love those kinda nights! I think I have spent hours and hours on a drawing just to start over.

Kinda of like excersise I guess.

yamomma said:

Practice makes not so sucky, or so I say!

:LOL:

IceNine said:

Yes, but probably not what you'd expect.

one day, maybe we'll capture that on tape.

yamomma said:

You should!

Rock is its own reward!

There will be a day when we're all independently wealthy and can do what we love all day long.

NICE! great job yamomma

Hey, how comes you get to post this here without it being moved lol

I haven't listened to it yet, but this sounds like Prince's present creative process.

Isn't this what the musicians forum is for?

FreezerBurn said:

Well I'd say its a discussion & its general so it fits in here too

thecloud9mission said:

I'll have to check those tracks out.
Do you have them in MP3?
I never downloaded that Real player to my mac.

yamomma said:
