Whatchya Workin' On, O Creatives?

And now I am totally intrigued. What is happening there with your stuffed animal zoo?

Oh, we’re a little cramped in here but most of our toys left are the ones we’re attached to. I ended up getting the hanging net when we replaced some shelves and displaced some.

I like the net. We have a stuff animal situation in our family. That could solve some problems for us.

It was an Ikea net but I don’t think they sell these larger ones anymore, I found mine on eBay. I have overburdened it a little so the ring at the top is bent. That might be why they don’t make the larger ones anymore.

Forced myself to finish this song. Though I’ll probably re record the vocals it still turned out a lot better than I thought it would.

Don’t know that the vocals need work. I like it. If I were tempted to change anything, I might base the bridge more on the bass intro, which is quite distinctive (and that’s a big maybe).

There’s a couple of words that are oddly stressed, where I emphasized the wrong syllable to get it to fit the metre. I’ll try to get it to flow more naturally. I’ll also try to get the drums to lock in a little better with the bass and do a final mix. Other than that I’ll start working on something else.

Yeah, I caught that. It’s not unusual, can be effective. I put up Kate Bush’s Wuthering Heights in the Earworms thread not too long ago - there’s a song with all kinds of peculiar stresses and enjambments, but it’s extremely effective.

The latest. Over the past two days, I’d watched a long documentary on Andy Warhol and two different ones on Jean-Michel Basquiat. I myself love using objects rather than canvases to paint on not just because I can’t afford canvas, but I love to take a blank anything and transform it into something more interesting to look at than a clear glass or a nearly-blank cardboard box.

“General Admission”, and the beginnings of my next project:

Been working on stuff for the last year & a half for my band (which broke up a decade ago, but that’s another story). While I’m waiting for the singer to do his stuff so I can go back and rerecord everything, I’ve been putting some new stuff together. Currently just mixed together in Audacity for speed with demo vox - needing to sit down & get to grips with a proper DAW just as soon as I can muster up the patience to learn…

(why yes, I am ripping off early Sisters of Mercy :bat:)

Cool!

I’m not a pro by any means but I would love to take a crack at mixing this. If you’re up for it let me know and I can probably get it into good shape for the singer to have something to work with.

And of course if you want to learn, download reaper and stop by this place, http://indierecordingdepot.com/

Cheers, I’m planning on rerecording the guitar so when I do that I’ll definitely bear it in mind :slight_smile:

Yes, Reaper is what I’m going to probably use, but I’ll bookmark that site right now, thanks!

I’ll take that as a yes. Take your time and hit me up once you’ve got your recordings ready.

Uploaded new code.

Doesn’t sound like much, but for me, these little sanity projects are a blast.

Here’s wot I’ve worked on this week, so far:

Userscript: Nu-Kinja
