Show us yer musick....

[mistergixer]

I know there's quite a few aspiring musicians here on BCF, here's your opportunity to let the BCF massive feel the fibre of your fabric.

Here's the rules:

List your equipment - software & hardware.

Post up one (or more) of your tunes - either as an attachment or a link.

Give a bit of detail about yourself & influences.

I'll go first:

Equipment - FL Studio 9, M-Audio Oxygen 25, Korg Nano Kontrol.

Tune - Trautman rescues Rambo from Dubland

Bio - Pissed about with music since my early teens (late 80s early 90s), played various instruments (badly) in various bands. Got interested in electronica (Aciiiiiiiiiiiid, ambient, digital roots, early junglist etc) and was using an Amiga for sequencing and midi control. Sold it all when i fell on hard times.
Fast forward 15 years - the bug bit me again (mostly through reading a few posts on BCF about 'what sequencer' etc), got FL Studio, got a couple of bits of cheap Midi gear to make life easier ('playing' on the pc keyboard is shit).
I've had FL for about a couple of months now, still learning it and discovering new features. The attached tune is about the first 'finished' track i've laid down - the majority so far have been piss about experimentations.

Your turn now.........

Hmm ok, well these are just two that were thrown together at some point, funnily enough they don't really reflect my style of music (Heavy Metal) but hey ho.

My problem is I record snippets of things if I get an idea, thinking I'll come back to it, then I get more ideas, record snippets of that and before you know it I have a folder of things that are mish-mashes that I either can't remember recording or forgot how I was playing them. Others I do then think I will put a drum-track to them, then realise I really should have done the drum track first haha.

These aren't very good by any standard, but I could give a fuck less, they were done in one take and I weren't looking to release an album just yet

Anyways, recorded using a Digitech GNX3 pedalboard and a behringer USB/PC interface, using a Dean ML or B.C Rich NJ series guitar. Audacity was used to record whatever I was playing.

I can post more shite if one feels the need to be entertained.

Okay I'll bite

My equipment is My Quad core PC, software I use is Renoise, Reaper and various VST/i's.

Not done any music for about 3 years now, had dental surgery and lost the desire/motivation while I couldn't sing (not that I was any good anyway!) I can only come up with snippets now, never finishing any. Here is a link to one:

True Friendship, one of the less doom and gloom ones. There's a few others in my youtube channel too.
Excuse the crap sound quality I'm not the bext at mixing, and youtube messes it up further

Like mistergixer above, I too started out using an Amiga, I used Soundtracker and later Octamed. Progressed onto a PC and Fast Traacker2 then gave up for years. Started again in 2005/2006 for a year then took a break again

KLR600 of here is pretty damn talented.

Big fan of this song of his since I downloaded it, and IIRC he did /everything/ himself. Wrote, sung, played and edited etc.

[Howling Terror]

Not sure if i want to list everything
Overview of gear :
Quick PC
Lots of software
Lots of hardware/instruments
Smidgen of talent

Done bands and even dabbled in folk
Self taught and used to write songs.
Dislike performing now, even amongst family&friends
I don't really aspire, i kinda hit record when i get the vibe.
Everything is improvised. Layer upon layer.
Eclectic tastes, so plenty of ideas, but it consumes me.(and time)

Have some stuff on myspace so i won't clutter Korns new server.

For punky/rock stuff try : 6 Toes, Dirty Little Habits, Barry Sheene's Dead & Kill the Killer(inspired by an animal killer i worked with )

For Folky stuff try Best Bastard & Missed the 60s

Repetitive beats try Fathers for Justice

and i had a go at Rap #2 in No. 10
[edit] Don't tell my daughter but here's one we did together.

oh alright go on then! https://www.facebook.com/pages/Loft-Daddy/30144564645
thats my bands facebook page there are 5 songs (our new ep) on there to listen to and a few vids although we have had personnel and material changes since the vids! erm in terms of software and that, its mainly pro tools. Apart from vocals we recorded as a live band in a disused victorian school building so all one takers hence the occasional messyness. Im doing most of the guitar work and all the strings are me! and second vocals since the band line up changed. Guitars and shizzle i used on it are 57 re-issue strat, grestch electromatic, boss GT-8 pedal and fender deluxe amp. For intellectual/interesting try dream, for pop/rock try words or history of the future simple a bit heavier try endless opinions good or bad are welcome

One for the metalheads here: https://www.myspace.com/theagonyst

Only demo tracks on that page at the moment but still sounding pretty good for demo's though in my opinion. We have just re-recorded our 1st demo with a live drummer and are currently in the process of mixing those, although when the average song length is 5mins+ it takes quite a while!

We kind of sound like the bastard lovechild of Meshuggah and Strapping Young Lad but there are plenty of other influences in there too, see if you can spot them all!

Also extra credit for anyone who can get their heads around some of the messed up time signatures!

As for gear, we always record the demo's round our bass players house on Cubase.

We use a Boss Dr.Rhythm drum machine for the drum tracks on the demo's, actually not a bad sounding drum machine and at times I think it's only the processed cymbal sound that gives it away.

Guitar wise we use Ibanez and Dean 7-strings, all running EMG's and we usually record the demo's using Line 6 Gearbox. We used to use POD's for recording but they ended up smashed and we quite like the interface on Gearbox, nice and simple!

Live we just substitute Gearbox for Vetta II and Spider heads. A lot of people don't seem to like Line 6 but it works for us so why fix it if it ain't broke.

As for bass equipment, not too sure what he uses to be honest, I don't tend to pay a lot of attention to basses!

I appreciate what we do is not to everyones tastes but hopefully it will tickle someone's gooch, any comments good or bad are appreciated.


Matt.
