This is a re-do of "Up on the hill" done the conventional way. I wrote the words 1st.
This is my 1st attempt at using Logic Express. I should learn most of the basics by spring. :)
The old version has been posted here This new version has Drums…
I always liked this traditional song based on the old folk tune, 'Rueben's Train'. so I decided to give a go. It was recorded a couple of years ago As usual more time spent mixing than recording.
At the time I was suffering from some sort of bug…
This is a newer version of Summer Nights from what I posted on Thanksgiving day. I didn't like the previous version. This is a much cleaner version This song is one I wrote quite a while back. I didn't like the melody so I changed it. Easier…
White Light was written in June along with 10 other "Off the cuff" tunes. Just before the great flood in Cedar Rapids, Iowa. Our house was flooded and slowly being rebuilt. This is 4th of the 10 to be recorded.
I had this old song sitting around and decided to re-do it. The chorus used to be slightly different.
The drums are from "Drummer" and the song is played using "Pointless Picks" Recorded in "Garage Band" and Mastered in "Tracktion."

Thanks Bethan. Yes it was our first Thanksgiving back home. It's great to be back!
I appreciate your opinion re: this tune. Your input is very valuable to me. As I listen to both versions I see what you mean.
I should have fixed the mix of the first one rather than redo the song. By doing version 2 however I did learn a valuable lesson. When I recorded the two guitar parts (in stereo) I panned them just slightly to either side. This simple step opened the middle for the vocal and made each part distinct. An obvious thing but before I had assumed that having them in the middle because they were stereo would be ok. Not so. I should have remixed the original this way to see if it would help that mix. I'll bet it would.

This must have been the first "Thanksgiving" for you and your family, in the house since the flood? Hope you all had a good one.
I hope you don't mind but I prefer the other version you did. Mind you, I like this very much as well. Cheers Bethan

This song has sat around for quite awhile with a different melody. While the old melody was alright I thought it was too sappy. So I changed it.
I don't care for this recording, I think it's too busy. It's one of those things that get out of hand…

Sudara says: Just found this on my iPod.
Basically it was the first full mix of the tune, before it passed back to glu and then back to Sudara for the "original" version.
This is heavier, more energy, less fraility, and in Sudara's opinion a…
Okay so I enjoyed doing Glubotism1 enough that I thought I'd take a second crack at it. Same tools but took a different approach to how I used Stylus RMX and I introduced some of it's built-in effects on some of the parts. Also I bused RMX and…
Originally conceived as a mellow-ish, Stephen Stills sounding number (at least the verses), then the chorus came to me out of nowhere and turned the whole song on it's ear. I think that was for the better. I have to admit that I surprised myself…
Hey, notice the new forum section... Track Therapy? discuss with me: http://alonetone.com/forums/track-therapy/topics/help-me-find-direction-for-this-track
Mr Glu
I like your little ditty. I think it has a lot of promise.
The one thing that I believe it needs is a "B" part. You are basically playing the same chord progression over and over again. Not too bad since it's only 2:29 long but a B part would help. I don't know what key its in but lets just say its G. Your B part should be in some other rel chord starting in C or D and progress for 8 or so bars somewhere in the middle of the tune. Just to mix it up.
I hope this is what your looking for.
I do not know anyone named Lilly Child. I just thought the name sounded good.
This is third of 10 "Off the cuff" songs written last June. I have only recorded 4 of the 10

Nice!
0029 had no sound and this has. I liked 0029 better
Crazy title but nice sound.
I hear nothing. Is something wrong?
I like the solid sound and beat!
A fun tune for sure. Well constructed.
Great job and great sound. I like the Live sound you get on the softer parts.
