Move GA*GA opened soundclick page I followed paisleypark4's advice and opened a soundclick page and uploaded 3 songs (of which 'Down With Us' entered #73 at the Funk sub charts) 
Soundclick.com seems to have some problems though, a lot of the time the streaming doesn't seems to work and at first the songs I uploaded don't appear in my music page... Anyone else got such problems too? Erik "Give a monkey a brain and he'll swear he's the center of the universe" (Fishbone)

Listening to High Steppin Lady right now and I'm diggin it. The baseline is very good, I like how it changes. The keyboards are really smooth. Your voice is really cool too. I'm trying to place what this reminds me of. Your voice reminds me a bit of the guy from Soul II Soul in the spoken parts. I really dig the vibe of this track.

Tight man! Ur page is in German I think...What's it like out there? Is that u on the stage rappin in the pictures on the mic? I'm the guy with the orange sun glasses behind the keyboards. I do some 2nd vocals when we perform live. The page is in dutch. The market for this kind of music is very small here in the Netherlands (hell, the market for any real music live on stage is very small), so we don't perform as much as we would like. Damn I saw a *great* band live on stage on some friday night, and I was just one of 20 people in the audience  . Even Larry Graham didn't fill a hall that could take like 300 people here.
It's practically impossible to get a break here these days as the record companies will take no risk whatsoever. They only sign new artists if they are absolutely sure they will sell (for example when you were already on TV for 20 weeks on an 'Idols' show for example), they won't take a risk just because they believe in the music for example. So you're basically stuck in small clubs and you already see more people are going down the 'DJ' road instead of pickin up an instrument. Kinda sad development if you ask me. But that's probably not much different than in the US, right? But, I'm not in it for the money myself so I'll get my kicks out of music anyway.

Hmmm. Well, there are still quite a lot of artists here and some good ones too (hey, Prince even has a dutch musician in the band). It's just that large labels won't sign anyone anymore if they're not already well known. "Give a monkey a brain and he'll swear he's the center of the universe" (Fishbone)

I mean MTV Generator is nice, but  really wish I can make the same shit with some real studio stuff and c how that goes.. Hope the best 4 u!Straight Jacket Funk Affair

Hope the best 4 u!I use Reason (very cool!) for beats and stuff (it's a complete MIDI studio in software) and Cubase SX for recording. I guess it's a lower cost solution than ProTools and very nice, although Cubase has its quirks sometimes. Never heard of MTV Generator though. The best way to get studio skills is just doing it. The difficult thing is not the software, but to get your stuff to sound just right (true in my case anyway I keep finding to make a good mix difficult). I mean it might take some time to get used to the software (you might be a little overwhelmed at first by all options and knobs and buttons), but everybody can learn it.

I use Cakewalk Sonar... and Waves FX processors for the most part.
The sound quality really comes in proportion to how much you spend on your recording hardware. A factory PC sound card just has too much noise floor... but you don't need to buy an Alesis (?) HDR system to achieve great sound, either. (Though I WOULD like to buy one just because it LOOKS totally tits in a studio setup!!) But I do use an external rack mount sound module now that has almost no noise floor. A good mix starts with a CLEAN RECORDING. --Julian-- | |

JulianChristian said: A good mix starts with a CLEAN RECORDING. --Julian-- Very true. There's no such thing as 'fix it in the mix'. The raw recordings should already sound good. Unfortunately, sometimes you just *have* to fix things in the mix. For example I don't have a good guitar amp so I use a cabinet sim. Those really need some tweaking to sound even just acceptable. BTW, 'Down With Us' hit #7 in the Funk charts at soundclick, coolness  [This message was edited Tue Mar 30 4:17:07 2004 by erikd] "Give a monkey a brain and he'll swear he's the center of the universe" (Fishbone)
