Go Go Go! We should invent a new word for these kind of collaborations. Maybe "hand-offs" or "tag-team" or hrm...I basically got to sit back and watch the tune become awesomer without lifting a finger. Win! I'll try and think up a good word. Nice job.
A 30 minute track (creation time).
Went for dinner with friends that were having trouble getting along.
They were in my thoughts whilst I put this together.
Sudara mentioned yesterday that the new Logic had super cool guitar stuff. This is me checking it out.
Two guitar tracks, using just the double phaser, simple amp model and an insane space designer preset.
Used one of the mastering presets…
Another song in the key of Glu.
I know I called the theme was [glubot for a day](http://alonetone.com/forums/togethertone/topics/glubot-for-a-day).
Maybe glubot for a week?

A quasi-ambient experiment with the Hypercyclic plugin.
I don't know if it's tacky to listen to your own stuff but I actually do listen to this one a lot.
dude, i listen to the songs i've written until i don't even understand them anymore. sometimes other people's music is just a way to cleanse my palate.
this song is awesome. it's the type of noise you can listen to just for the actual sound that is being made and to pick out the rhythms. i know this is probably an obvious statement, but this would make great music for a video game..maybe end credits schmup or menu music for a sci-fi rpg.
This has been something that has been struggling to get out for a while. I finally feel comfortable enough playing it to have pressed record...
Boring technical details:
DADGAD tuning
two improvised tracks, GT-10 Studio Acoustic Guitar preset…

not tacky to listen to your own stuff at all. You kinda have to anyway if you are still working on it. Even if that's not the case, nothing wrong with enjoying your own music. I don't think I have listened to this one yet myself.
I like the key changes. And what's the Hypercyclic plugin?
This would be challenging to add guitar or something to.
Okay so here it is, this is the blues piano piece I've been learning since **forever**. Tonight is the first time I've been able to play it through, twice, without making some kind of mistake.
That said I had to slow to 80bpm which is too slow…
24-hour album.
This album is a collage of several disconnected pieces recorded & mixed over 18 hours or so.
I've left it as a single long track, but here's a sort of navigational guide if you want to skip around:
0:00 - 1:30 = Living…
ok, volume is fixed, and the title too. Maybe soon I will mix it better or perhaps just move on to better things. Thanks to those who gave excellent advice on previous version.
and the #2 version has been deleted (actually this is #2).
itunes->preferences->playback->Sound Check
is the thing that is taking the quiet mp3 from garageband and upping the volume (it's probably normalizing; meaning it scans the file for the loudest part of the wave and adjusts the volume such that that loudest bit is at 0dB - or some other set loudness)
Little known thing in Garageband... Track->Show Master Track
Now, click the info button (bottom right). You'll see that you can apply all kinds of mastering presets here. Try some out.
Congrats on the audio interface.
Of all the days I had to get up super early, it happened to fall on the first day of spring. Also known as (fingers crossed) the worst day of spring.
I spent part of the early morning digging my car out from underneath the ice and snow. Later…
these 2 "new" songs are a test to see if I now have what I need to successfully upload material. These 2 songs were recorded 20 years ago on a Tascam 4-track. The band is the Riptiles.

At the lake we were crawling around
til our knees left bloodstains on the ground
licked our wounds and the pain went away
fell asleep at the end of a day
we dug holes and carved signs into trees
made ourselves a bed out of leaves

I don't normally repeat myself, but when I sat down tonight…
Just messing around with voices and Yottskry. Here I am using it in Live and feeding 3 different vocal clips at a time. It's pretty slow getting going but I think it rewards (for some value of 'reward') listening all the way through.
I was…
I just finished reading Citizen Vince by Jess Walter and at one point in it the protagonist meditates a little on hearing people speak without listening... nevermind, my brain is just connecting this track with the musings of that character.
Today sucked.
I had been working on a longer post to explain it. But I'll basically just sum it up as follows [*ed. note:* consider that this was the *shorter* version. Haha]:
* I live in a part of town where noisy neighbors are a problem…
This composition is a remix/reincarnation of a [previous tune](http://alonetone.com/gcd/tracks/seven-flavors-of-milk) I wrote a while back. I wasn't ever quite satisfied with it and had neglected to incorporate a nifty additional bit of melodic…
My first serious/non-serious effort on the [Everyday Looper iPhone app](http://www.mancingdolecules.com/everyday-looper/).
Stats:
* 100% recorded through the iPhone
* probably 95% iPhone headset mic, 5% internal mic
* 98% my voice, 2% my piano…
Hmm. I guess I'm not a Husker Du superfan cause I don't get the nod (all over Bob Mould's solo stuff but that's another thing).
Regardless, lovely piece.
Comments on mmi's stuff
first thank for your comments and supertramp allusions... mostly lost on me although I do recall enjoying them some years or decades ago.... and second, what a nice crunchy delay chopped and floated groove this is...
The heart of this is pure feel great pop! Love it!
VERY VERY cool. 11 minutes of awesomeness deserve more than this trite comment. For now, I'll just say: captivating mood. kudos
What ominous sounding toys you have. I like the way it lightens up before the 5 minute mark
Forboding. What creepy flowers you grow.

Great collab! Love the additions!
Very cool addition! Like it mucho
arse kickin' mix. love the new sounds
nice
This is great! Yeah logic is pretty sweet. Been using it for a while now.
idolatry! what movement will the GLU lead us in? I will follow. The singularity is here. HAHA!
I've only scratched the surface of Logic's gtr fx , but you gave me the itch again. Very nice!
What a lush sound! More of this please. It's the perfect soundtrack to my rainy day.
Wow! Super guitar sounds

yay dadgad!!!111 it sounds like you know your way around the fretboard in the tuning.
Beautifully played. DADGAD tuning ===> is that drop d tuning?

Anybody that feels that "it's too late" to learn an instrument only needs to look (and listen) here. You should be proud.
Yeah, keep on it. Good fun.
I'm 18 minutes in and in awe. Gold star!

Jean Michel Jarre, eat your heart out.
beautiful (I'm trying not to scare off the birds)
Man I'd like to sit it with your band sometime.
Clearly things are very good in Valles Marineris...
Very very nice.
Was a beautiful tune the first time. Something about this version, though, I'm finding deeply moving.

Today may have sucked but your musical output was just fine.
nice! can't wait to hear how you incorporate these ideas into your show :-)
Really digging on this.
Muy awesome!
Haha, well done! Silly fun that brightened my morning.

The most charming breakdown ever :-)
To paraphrase Sister: *Waves glowstick side to side*
Dig it! A little like Warm Leatherette as realized by Brainiac.
