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.

There are a bunch of bass tracks going on here. Headphones help pick out what's going on. This one came to me leaving Taos on the drive back to Phoenix, coming down out of the canyon. I suddenly became conscious of a disturbing dream from the…

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.

re:ghost, thanks for the feedback. I tried uploading it earlier with the levels much lower (not redlining at all). The result was that the volume was o low on alonetone you could barely hear it. I deleted it, went back and raised the levels till they were just barely hitting red at loud parts. Result was louder volume on alonetone, but still pretty quiet.

in regards to your reduced volume issue, it is most likely because the recording at some point in the signal process was distorted, so when you mixed it down in garage band it 'auto-normalized' it, meaning it reduced the volume to a point at which the signal on the main out in garageband was not distorting (red lining/going past 0 db).
i would look to make sure that none of your inputs are red lining or that the mix on the main out is not red lining, then when you mix down in garageband and send to itunes the volume will most likely not be reduced.
now as far as the song, i look forward to when you eq it and such, it has this kind of lounge demented sound to it. i imagine myself in a gritty scene potentially on an old nearly broken elevator.
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.

When I put these last 3 songs on itunes, my computer did something weird. It told me that these songs were already out there on the internet somewhere. So, in order not to infringe on any copyright laws, I would like to assure everyone that NONE…

This is another guitar heavy piece, however there are three synth parts, but they further back in the mix. The name is from a dream of moving back to Vancouver BC.
This is also definitely an ambient piece, treating sound as a sculpture more than…

RE: Illegal Alien Autopsy. DUDE, are you ever not on here? You are quick man. Thanks for your comments. Also, been enjoying your stuff immensely. Nice work.
I'm going to pursue this one I think; the stepped up Jazz/drum n' bass/dub step angle.
Ok the beats are just loops dropped in from GarageBand, but I had having fun shaping the track.
a culmination of the past few nights, alone, in the dark, a feeling has been lingering and this is my attempt at capturing it.
this is unfinished i think, i feel like something needs to be changed or added or taken away, or that it needs to…
*apology for the artifacts
so this was a song sitting around for a while, didn't know what to do with...common occurrence. anyways, i wanted to create a song that had a bit of a 'grainy' vinyl feel to it, with nice, slightly distorted highs…
title is self-explanatory, past tense however.
i really wanted a song that had the flow, emotional intensity and unpredictability of an ocean. perhaps that's a bit cliche.
done over the period of two months in a little dark room with an…
Yeah soooo this is a rather bizarre sound documentary of my room/apartment. All sounds were recorded there, including: belching, a toy duck call, a cup falling, various toys that make noise, a friend playing Pokemon on their DS, friends talking…
This is the title song from our debut album (also called “In My Mind”, duh). It's probably the most experimental track on the album, featuring spoken rather than sung vocals.

ohhhhhhh beauutiful fuzzz
Inna-Garage-Band-a-Davida! Very 60's Psychedelic Feel!
Yeah, definitely has a cool retro rock feel! Love the spoken word stuff too - especially in the intro.
I love this groove. Very old school, definitely rockin'.
Haunting. I love the drone quality.

Sounds pretty good on my end. I like this tune man. sorta 60's metal.

Man I'd like to sit it with your band sometime.
Surf's down! Way, way, on the get down.
You are a Wisian! Nice bass, and very eerie feeling as a whole.
Hilarious...way to mix it up!
Have Purple Herpe day.
i found this one strangely soothing. . . . Top track! Will be listening to this regularly. . Lets you drift off into thought!
There's some dark surf! Cool bass parts and eerie vocal mixing make this utterly strange and compelling.
hahaha.
Wow! What a trip! Love those vocals floating around in the mix!
Swirling psychedelic enjoyment. :)

very cool. I'm going to have to come back for more of these.
from the outer rims of Bizotica.

The Gig Revolution is one of my favorite things ever released on Alonetone. Half the songs are on my 1st "favorites" playlist. Great stuff here.
