It seems a lot of you record with open mics and can relate. I record 1 track at a time with usually 4 or 5 tracks. So, Im only asking for about 15 minutes of Silence…IS THIS TOO MUCH TO ASK??? Anyway, my house is so loud, I get a lot of bloopers, which I made into a song. Thanks to Black Tiger who did the original drum track first, my bulldog Daisy, guitars and vox interuptions at my house..

I still vote this for best home studio musician track of the decade. If you can't relate...buy a microphone. I was trying to record vocals the the collab with Epimeison yesterday and right in the middle of take 2, what decides to appear...an ice cream truck. REALLY?? You have a whole freakin park across wash and you choose my street with all of 3 kids to sell to!?! The economy must have really taken it's toll on the mobile frozen milk delivery service. WTF?!? Love it, fav it again if I could.

Oh man! I hear ya bro! The reason I do a lot of one track stuff is because all I get is 3 mins sometimes... In the dead of night! So I have to sing low... If my son see's me with a guitar, he wants to play it... And daddy aint allowed! Open mic is the best bro (For the modern day songwriter.. Lol) And this is a perfect tribute to the concept! Your voice is awesome in this by the way! Love the carefully placed F*cks! Awesome slice of life you got hear! Awesome!

I only had one song at open mic where you could have heard a pin drop, the rest of the time, they usually talk through it. It's all in the studio now when the little ladies are in bed. Ah bliss!

LOL. I can relate. Since I can't actually play any of the instruments I use in my songs, sometimes I'm best off using a take with some horns or meows or jingling in the background. I often unplug my phone... and then forget to plug it back in when I'm done.

Oh my gosh you are making me laugh! If I had your number, I'd totally call you and tell you that in person! Directory assistance isn't coming up with a "reefwalker", though ... I'll keep trying. All the best in the meantime!

This is why I moved my studio to the back porch and tossed the cell phone. :)

I'll take your word for it that this wasn't conveniently edited... but even if it had been... that's some funny sh!t right there. Bravo, sir! I don't record much with an open mic myself... but I do have four feline furbags that insist on 'keeping me company' whilst I record. :-)

Hi, The Suicide is programmed actually and uses Kontakt sounds. I have a large number of manuscripts which I created in college and shortly after (before 90's no computer program I had could let me score reasonably). In this case, The Suicide, was scored at an upright piano and I could play it at the time. Its really easy to play.
