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…

I hadn't read the "about" when I listened to this the other day. Similar story: that's how the initial track for gostmieuzakmusturd was recorded. I just woke up one morning and there was a really weird, swirling toilet bowl-like bass track on the tascam.
"Markets For Fleas and Stocks of TVs" is the first part of Act Two of a space rock piece I am working on. The story may change, but this if you'd like to know what this piece is "about" at this moment then read on. It is meant to be a ballet…
It is created between the cracks. it is amplified. if you listen, you feel the space between time. it is created in a life without time. caught in a shadow of light. nothing can exist here. but this does. it is beautiful. it is ephemeral. it is gone.
Hi Mud Octave, this is a homemade drum set that rapidly and constantly mutated with new additions, mostly contraptions made of metal. Sadly, it is now gone. I currently have a really bad, beat-the-hell-out-of kit. Also, there is a machine, A Boss DR660. I usually use both. I'm not a terribly proficient drummer so the machine keeps me on track (hopefully).
Liz wrote the music, MK wrote the words. Liz plays the guitar and sings it. Before it had lyrics, this song was known as "Emotionally Gay." Since Liz's electric guitar is out of commission at the moment, she recorded it on her acoustic. Eventually…
Spaghetti Party was our first foray into recording a complete song. MK came up with the idea of writing a song about her friend/co-worker who has "spaghetti parties" which involve him lying on his back on a couch in the basement by himself shoveling…
red cowboy and hot burrito were recordings done for a friend of mine who wanted to check out his new (old) drum machine. Both drum parts are constructed from prerecorded beats (from presets or previous owner, I don't know) and have 4-5 bass tracks…
Shreya's composition, a tale of love and death that is also perhaps a sly reference to the most famous proponent of the ontological argument for you-know-who. This is the dreamy guitar version, and there is also a classical-sounding piano version…
This was the first song Shreya played me, and she said it came to her in a dream, and I believe it. It's flooring, and her vocals/acoustic guitar are relatively untouched. I added the other virtual instruments, and if you listen carefully, you…
This sounds better everytime I hear it. Which is at least 3x now. So now, this song, which I liked the first time i heard it, now I like it 3X better (or more).Do you smell something?
this is a song by my niece Clara. She's 4. the lalalala's are Noah's (6) contribution.
Recorded Christmas day 2008.
Happy New Year all alonetoners!
glad to be here.
t.
I am very happy hearing this! Happy new year! Here is something that really works: whatever comes out of someone's mouth, believe with all of your essence that whatever they are saying is being said with the best of intentions. Lets all put out our absolute best. Love to all.

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.

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. :)

I am enjoying this Dreamgate very much, can't wait to hear the rest of it...
hey! are you guys drinking beer in a book store? you can't do that. I've tried.
nice foraying. I like a good foray.
Communist "red" or redneck "red"? Pool or pond.
great guitar work. Looking forward to checking out more of your stuff
very cool, and you got a lydia lunch reference too! Hard to beat that with a whip!
beautiful.
Hot Damn! What's that smell? 'S like nostalgia and a twinkie in a halo storm. Where the hell is Von Lmo?
